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.

Likarith, despite being one of the eldest females residing in her master's home, is a very timid dragon. She appears to be easily distressed by the normal grumbling and irritation present in such a large congregation of dragons, and often runs to her 'mother', Magirith, for comfort. When she is afraid, she flattens her large ears against her skull, and makes a loud shrieking noise. This is usually followed by her fleeing whoever or whatever has made her so skittish.
