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.

Avekly is a life-long bug magnet. She's a feast for mosquitoes and stinging insects, she doesn't need a picnic to attract ants, and she has her own cockroach fan club. The insect attention would be ideal if she were a striped dragon, but Avekly has never believed that bugs should be part of the evening meal. She came to Prazal's Academy for Inconvenient Talents and Odd Specialties as a last-ditch attempt to find a way to stop being a pied piper of pests.
