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.

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.

Named after the Greek goddess of persuasion and seduction, Peithou has a seemingly innocent nature about her but when a male is present she uses her feminine guile to serve her names meaning. Kajii is one of her most common courtiers and the pair spend large amounts of time together, some question whether or not they have chosen to be mates. Because of her behavior she gets into ritual arguments with the dorsal dragon Eunomea for being too flamboyant. In her time not entertaining males she basks in the sun to keep her scales looking fresh and colorful.
