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.

Taryna has beautiful rosy pink scales that shimmer in the sunlight. Her eyes are a sparking sea blue, with flecks of soft green in them. She is proud of her appearance, though she is not considered a vain dragon. Taryna is very proper and is polite to all dragons, however rude they may be. She is compassionate and kind, and values living things. Some people argue that Taryna cannot value the life of others, as she eats plants and the meat brought to her by her mate, but she quietly responds to their argument with the fact that she must eat, and so must kill other creatures for her food. However, when she eats, she always thanks the plant or animal for the body that they gave, and hopes that their spirit may reside happily wherever they currently are.
