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.

Aitai is in charge of watching over the new hatchlings, making sure they don't hurt themselves when breaking out of their eggshells. She also is responsible for feeding the hatchling their first few meals, and paying attention to what kind of foods they prefer, so the clan food stocks can be adjusted if need be. Soft-hearted and gentle, Aitai is sometimes intimidated by the more aggressive hatchlings, but she never treats them any differently than the more timid hatchlings.
