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.

VioletGypsy is a mean Purple Dragon. She likes to mentally yell her complaints, so that every dragon near her try to "cover" their psychic "ears" from all the noise. She is always in a bad mood, and is the first to insult someone. If a dragon is dirty or a different size or has anything strange about them, then VioletGypsy will seize that like a dog with a bone. Every chance she gets, she will make fun of someone. And she will keep at it until the dragon either starts crying or until something else captures VioletGypsy's attention.
