Pink Dragons are primarily herbivores and only eat meat during the mating season, when mates will exchange kills. When it is not breeding season, pink dragons spend most of their time incubating eggs and caring for their clan’s young. Due to their feminine color, it was traditionally thought that pink dragons were a strictly female breed, but this is not true.

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.

Marret Willowwill was always overshadowed by her famous mate, Protector Galsreim. When he died heroically while fighting vampires, everyone expected her to either find another mate and settle down to raise a family or, failing that, to join her parents' cause. Instead, she became a hero in her own right, saving the day against impossible odds and never, ever being the damsel in distress. Few opponents, whether human or dragon, underestimated her more than once. Marret never did take another mate, but her adventures inspired hundreds of young female dragons to follow her lead.
