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.

Jenni was one of the first dragons in the group. Her mother's old mate, Demetri, grew tired of group life and left Jenni and Joanto, Jenni's mom, behind. So, since the group was still small, Joanto had trouble upbringing Jenni. The members were very nice and all, but they didn't want to babysit Joanto's egg when she went hunting. Some nights Jenni almost froze to death.
