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.

VioletPetall was constantly mocked by other dragons as a hatchling because he was considered to have scales a "girl's color". He slowly began to decline in health because of these comments. When he came into the owner's care as a hatchling, he was very sad. Soon afterward though, the owner's other dragons began to take a liking to him. DrakMagicc taught him how to stand up for himself. He still gets mocked every now and then by the red dragon or the Manly Red Dragons as they call themselves. Now though he ignores them knowing that he has the owner to comfort him always.
