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.

Purple dragons are one of the few all-female breeds of dragons. Their bright colors make them easy to spot during dragon mating season. They are primarily herbivores, but eat meat during mating season when it is brought to them by a mate. Mating seasons occur once every 200 years and can last up to 2 years.

Lavindare is flirtatious and sly, not above doing dirty tricks or... other things... to get what she wants. She tends toward the 'Princess' attitude sometimes, being what she considers the only decent female of the group. She and the other younger dragons look up to the older ones with respect, but not to the point of blindly trusting every word. She has a 'thing' for Venator, who always brushes her off, no matter how much she pesters him or tries to use other dragons to make him jealous.
