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.

Bright pink 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.

Powdre wandered into the Felstone Dragonflight territory on a beautiful sunny day, claiming that she had gotten lost while chasing quail. She was accepted readily by Celestine, the skywing Queen, and Whispre, the Queen's only female companion. Powdre had little time for her new feminine friends, preferring to spend her days playing  with the boys, flirting and mock-fighting. Powdre's energy and devil-may-care attitude was infectious, and she could even pull  Whispre out of her introverted shell, enticing her to join in races and rough-and-tumble games. Powdre found a willing partner for practical jokes in Cinnabon, the cheerful red drake; and Cheska, the diminutive stone female, was an even more willing partner in stirring up drama.
