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.

Arcana was named for her strong affinity for magic, a talent that was seen in her even before she had grown wings.  Because of this, she is an outcast among some members of her family.  Her Magi mother had to keep her hidden, for if Magnus had found out that a lowly Pink had inherited his vast powers, she would have been hunted.  She lived and grew in isolation with her father, and is now also protected by the Stride clan.  Arcana both respects and fears her magic, and trusts very few other dragons for fear of their attitudes toward her.
