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.

Aoiphe is strong willed and does not believe in the helpless female dragon stereotype. She refuses to let male dragons bring her meat during mating season, but hunts for herself. Aoiphe believes one should be able to fend for oneself no matter what one's sex may be. She never backs down, even if she knows she is wrong. Aoiphe screams and spits rather than take punishment for her wrong doings. Many have told her how useless pink dragons are, only good for breeding, but Aoiphe scorns the idea of only being an egg factory. When she was little Aoiphe spied on black dragons training, she has practiced many of their moves and adapted them to suit her smaller size.
