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.

Businka is decidedly vain.  Like most dragons she loves trinkets, especially gold, but Businka considers herself naked unless she's wearing at least five necklaces and two bracelets on each foreleg.  Her latest obsession is decorating her claws—with gold tips, naturally.<br/>She once stole a copper bracelet and wore it thinking it was gold, only to end up with a dirty mark on her foreleg for two weeks.  She disguised it with a purple silk scarf that she claimed was a gift from the Marquis of Arlsbury, but still refused to leave her cave until the mark wore off.
