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.

Because of her extremely long name, Belle Valencha Dusk Dorkface's name was shortened to simply Belle. Belle is a vain female who prides herself for being a descendant of 3 prominent bloodlines. She is often seen smoothing her scales in front of a mirror, or walking purposefully along the path like a queen. Eyes of flirtatious males and jealous females are always on her when she passes by. Belle is very much aware of the attention she is getting and enjoys every minute of it. In her mind, no dragon is worthy enough to be her mate, and has rejected every suitor harshly, sending them home with broken hearts. Belle always acts like a queen; more important than everyone. Because of her attitude, many dragons dislike her, but still many males drop off flowers and boxes of chocolate in her den.
