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.

Not as easy going and gentle as you'd think, SolarGavity has many qualities about her. She's crazy, caring, gentle, weird, and a little nuts. She's nothing short of that crazy Aunt Marge whom you're not sure you want to stay and laugh with or run away from. As to caring, she loves hatchlings and will often put her life on the line for them, even if there's no reason to. FireHaze always irritates her and SolarGravity disapproves of her constant torment of the younger hatchlings.
