Magi Dragons are, as their name suggests, primarily magic users. They rarely use physical forms of attack. They eat anything they can kill, which is almost everything. They won’t kill unprovoked except when hunting, although they may kill humans if in danger. Their strong magic makes them one of the most feared breeds of dragons.

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.

Taken in, though grudgingly, she did not enjoy the short time after hatching from her egg, living in another dragon's nest before being traded away for another. Bei simply loathed humans, and all dragons that associated with them. But when she was taken in by a new master, they made sure she was unable to escape to the wild, as her new master knew she would attempt it. Now bound by the magic that is enforced after being taken in by a human, she was, in her words, held captive in a world of hate. Though her master and her fellow dragons living in the cave attempted to communicate with Bei, she brushed them off, even threatning them if they spoke to her. Then, when time came for her naming ceremony, which involved contact with other dragons and her master she attacked the Magma dragons holding her and ran. After a few days she returned, but never spoke another word. This was when her master named her Bei, Chinese for 'Sadness', with no ceremony and let her live her life in silence.
