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.

Voftiu, often called "Joshua", is the grandson of Norland, leader of the Black Dragon fraction. Voftiu holds the Representative's Chair of Pink Dragons in the Council of Kan Valley. Kanakha often chooses Voftiu to be the head coordinator of the hatcheries because of Voftiu's love of caring for the Valley's young generation. He spends his off-time learning Raemaraic with Purestripe, and because of this, they have become good friends. Voftiu's love interest is Chief Hatchery Medical Dragon and close friend, Doctor Beverly Crusher. He hopes one day to work up the courage to ask her to be his mate.
