It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple 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.

Ah was named after the human expression (or interjection) of pleasure, pain, sympathy, delight, disgust, surprise, and a myriad of other random emotions. It's one word that encompasses nearly every sentiment one could have. Inevitably, the first noise most people make when learning about this dragon is probably "ah". This is because this dragon is so confusing and obnoxiously random that few other words can possibly describe him accurately. "Um" and "Oh" are some other words that can properly depict the personality of Ah.
