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.

Dijuna is a skilled nursemaid dragon. She tends to the eggs of the clan with the greatest of care and guards them jealously, along with ensuring the safety and rearing of the hatchling dragons as well. She is constantly annoyed by her friend Bryony Black, a Red dragon who lacks any sort of motherly instinct. Bryony is perpetually bringing her eggs of non-dragons, especially those of "obviously the world's smallest pygmy", which Dijuna recognized at once to be chicken eggs. She doesn't know why, but her master nearly collapsed after hearing Dijuna did away with all of Bryony's "dragon eggs".

She now only keeps after the eggs her master bade her to watch over, but she still perpetually wonders why, of all things, chicken eggs would be precious to her master, who keeps such mighty and powerful beasts as dragons. Dijuna has practically given up understanding the inner machinations of her master's mind, but for now, she'll raise and protect the dragons of her clan as best as she can.
