It was previously believed that purple dragons were exclusively female, but this is not the case. Recent environmental shifts have revealed the existence of both genders of this breed. Female behavior is well known; they are primarily herbivores but will eat meat during mating season. On the other hand, very little is known about the behavior and habits of male purple dragons.

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.

While Vilette is rather sensitive about her age, being one of the eldest in the cave, she rejoices in her family, who have all reached maturity, grandchildren and great-grandchildren alike. While she was a little arrogant in youth, time and experience have reminded her that she is not the only purple dragon in the world, or the cave, and hopes to pass that on to her descendants, while still cuddling up to her fire-breathing mate at night.
