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.

Tearjerker is a friendly and likeable dragon, who's a bit lazy sometimes, but if he's interested in something, he inspires himself and others for it and is very dedicated. Almost all dragons who live in the cave like him, and many dragonesses are interested in him. But Tearjerker is secretly in love with Das kalte Herz and doesn't know if she also loves him, so he doesn't notice any of the others. His older sister Come Clarity is the only one who knows about his love for her and tries to find out if she feels the same, because Tearjerker is too shy to do it himself.
