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.

Miss Grape Kool-Aid is one of the sweetest dragons I know. She loves to help other dragons if they're sick or hurt or whatever, so she always carries a first aid kit around, though some may think that is strange. Her favorite thing to do is watch her boyfriend, Stevus, paint the sunrise across the sky, even though she has to get up early to do so. After that, she goes and makes pancakes for breakfast and then heads off to the cave to go to her job, being a nurse (this explains why she carries a first aid kit around). In the evening, she picks up her daughter, Miss Grape Jelly, from the cave across the street and then goes home to her clean, cozy home. Most of the time, she'll bring cookies or brownies to work for her co-workers to snack on before they cure the sick dragons, or Miss Grape Kool-Aid will bring them to the local day care. Though she can be a bit sensitive at times, she is friends with everyone in the neighborhood, because everyone likes her kind attitude and her cookies.
