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.

Aiteach is incredibly shy. Although she considers herself to be part of the Peaceful Pack, the other members rarely ever get to see a glimpse of her. Why she is so afraid of company is unknown. Ceabhar, a kind White dragon, has often tried to approach her and start a conversation, but Aiteach will only retreat deep within some bushes so that only her great blue eyes are visible, peeking curiously through the leaves, and makes no response. Some wonder whether she's even capable of speech, as she never communicates with the other dragons. Nevertheless, she seems to stay within the Pack's proximity, as if she somehow longs after their company and protection, but just doesn't dare to come that little bit closer.
