Hellhorse Dragons are foul-tempered, spirited creatures with tempestuous and violent dispositions. Torrents of scorching flames erupt from their bodies and can easily set their surroundings ablaze. Highly aggressive and territorial toward other dragon species, Hellhorses will tolerate others as long as they believe the association to be beneficial. Such alliances are tenuous in nature and frequently short-lived, as the slightest disagreement can easily escalate into a full-out brawl.

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.

Aria, being of the Vyx Weyr, is expected by tradition to name her children a certain way. The male surname is passed down as the main surname, with the female surname as more of a middle name that does not get passed down to the next generation. However, Aria is the only exception to this rule.

She takes after the Hellfire Wyvern side of her lineage, where females are more powerful and dangerous. She has a passion like a flame that won't go out and the temper to match. She bullies her husband Deah into allowing her children the Delacroix surname, and takes control of every situation she's put into. Some think of her as mean or rude but she's more an independent sort and is annoyed by trifling matters. Though she may not seem it, she is extremely trustworthy, and any wise dragon will feel comfortable with their life in her hooves.
