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.

Shintsu, as the Sylvain clan's unofficial counselor for heartsick dragons, is always willing to listen patiently to tales of woe and unhappiness. Whenever a dragon doesn't manage to successfully court their intended mate, they seek him out for advice and sympathy. When asked about how he knows exactly what to say to comfort others, Shintsu simply mutters something evasive about knowing what heartbreak feels like and changes the subject. Some of the elder dragons in the clan whisper that he's waiting for someone he once rejected to forgive him, but no one knows for sure why Shintsu has yet to find a mate of his own.
