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.

Mariposa once lived with her three sisters in a cave owned by an oppressive ruler. Mariposa's siblings were determined to take control of the cave and bring peace. They were so close. They had the support of many dragons of the cave, and the abilities to take their master down. In the end, the oppressive ruler murdered Mariposa's sisters and was planning to kill Mariposa. Mariposa realized this and fled her original cave. After several years, Mariposa found a home in Messender of Thoth's cave. She often spreads the word of what happened, hoping one day someone will help finish what Mariposa's sisters started.

Many ask why Mariposa didn't help her sisters. She wanted to help, but just couldn't bring herself to do it. She wasn't as brave or courageous as them. At least that's what she tells most dragons. Every day, she asks herself the same question and can never justify her reason. Mariposa believes this is her punishment, to live a life without her beloved siblings.
