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.

Violetia is a vain female with a special yen for all things purple.  She will pick purple flowers, gather shed purple scales, even raid passing human caravans for purple trade items.  The trading caravans that travel near the cave have learned to offer up a bolt of purple cloth in order to ensure a safe passage.  She quickly takes this back to her hidden nest in the cave, where she basks in the glory of her hoard of purple findings.  She jealously guards this cache, convinced the other females are secretly covetous of her wealth.  The other dragons tend to regard her as a little bit odd.
