Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

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.

Purplespirit lives on her own. She's always liked a quiet place to lie down and relax. Purplespirit enjoys watching others with what they are doing. She is a people watcher..or a dragon watcher you may say. She is not exactly shy, she'll talk to other dragons if they come up to her and say hello, but otherwise she just likes to keep to herself. Purplespirit always likes a new story to be told. If one has a story to tell, she'll be there to listen. She's a great listener, and an all around great dragon.
