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.

Althea, a Pink Dragon, comes from a considerably long line of nurturing dragons. Many of the females in her family passively care for the young of their diverse dragon clans. Upon discovery by Queenofemily, Althea was immediately recognized as an egg and taken from her protective mother. Queenofemily vowed to make sure Althea received the care and nourishment she deserved, which came true. Once Althea hatched from her egg, she was immediately pronounced the "Nanny" of the clan and was given the task of caring for the young eggs and hatchlings. Nanny Althea's personal goal is to breed with any available dragons and form her own egg nursery with her descendants; she clearly wishes them all to be Pink Dragons, but if she were to lay an egg of any other breed, she would care for them nonetheless.
