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.

Jeniferr is one of the older members of her tribe, though not one of the official elders. Her parents are two of the elders, and Jeniferr was the first egg to be bred by tribe members. Her father took great pride in his first-born, and she spent most of her childhood showing off for him. As she matured, she gained more interest in the tribe as a whole, and tried to find uses for her talents. She eventually settled on a role as a gatherer, aiding the Seasonal dragon in mapping out clusters of edible plants in the territory. Jeniferr is an out-going dragon, but not very talkative. She will often perform simple acrobatics for newcomers as a form of introduction, and spends most of her free time competing with the more skilled flyers of the tribe, learning from them.
