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.

Vega is an honest, respectable dragon. She might not be the most beautiful or the strongest, and she doesn't instill fear into other creatures as some dragons do, but she will stand up for causes she believes in. Though having so few children of her own, she loves tending to eggs and hatchlings. Vega hopes to find another mate one day so she can pass on her noble ideals on to more children.
