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.

Mary Tood is a female Pink who like any other Pink, has the ability to determine a dragons gender before hatching. She thinks this would make her special, when it really doesn't make her stand out. Mary also loves anything pink like flowers and shiny things. She is proud that she has a habit of always staying fresh and smelling like a summer field. Her mother told her early on exactly how she would get a mate, yet all her efforts and advice has so far been fruitless.
