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.

Lilac Peresfield seems, to the uneducated outsider, a perfectly normal dragon.

This is not the case.

Lilac strongly believes that he is merely the protagonist of some sort of game, often spouting random comments such as 'LIMIT BREAK!', startling all dragons within hearing. He bears a plank of wood for a sword, and will often go on a search for a 'priceless treasure of plot significance', whatever that means. It normally turns out to be something mundane, like a small rock, or tree root.
