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.

Murasaki Starscale is the healer of Konan's dragon group. Whether it is a cold, the dragon influenza, or a broken wing, leg, or bone, Murasaki will heal it. She loves to help out Whispering Willowfang and Whispering WillowScale to take care of the hatchlings and eggs. She currently isn't looking for a mate and doesn't wish for one at all. She only wants to take care of the hatchlings, eggs, and injuries that her friends get when they play, fight, or be clumsy. She has a kind and gentle attitude and has a great sense of humor.
