Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Veckie is one of the sweetest dragons in her cave. Her favorite job, since she was only 12 years old, is baby sitting the little hatchlings and eggs, even if she can't incubate them like some other dragons. Nonetheless, she strives to do her best and gets paid minimum wage in gold, as she doesn't accept money, but the hatchlings' parents pay her anyway. Her best friend is a pink dragon named It's Raining Men, and they get along just swell. Unfortunately, she is a bit envious of her as she can influence eggs' genders, and she can get down in the dumps.
