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.

When she was just a hatchling her caretaker, a bright pink dragon by the name of Katayla, thought that Madelana would grow into a beautiful young dragon. Madelana was a reckless hatchling and she didn't hesitate to run away by herself one night. She was unfortunate enough to run into a very angry vine dragon, who lashed out at her, injuring her severely. If it wasn't for the quick intervention of one of the guardians, she probably would not have survived. Her wounds healed, but left terrible scars all along her right side. Madelana believes that she is ugly, and that she has disappointed Katayla. She does not realize that there is more to beauty than one's appearance.
