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.

Prithvi is a bit of a push-over, often letting the others get away with more than they should. Although she means well, this doesn't always turn out. She is one of the few Dragons who put up with and babysit the hatchlings and eggs. She shares this duty with Menthu, but this is partly due to the fact that he's just too lazy to go anywhere.<br/>Prithvi is named for the Hindu earth and mother goddess.
