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.

She is one of the Original Four of the Zwolf Uhr clan.  There were three females in this group and so she was exceedingly gratified to have Zwolf Uhr, the leader of the clan, choose her as his mate.  She gave him three eggs, but two died of neglect.  Only Elf Uhr remained.  She was mostly grateful that at least this daughter survived.  Zwolf Uhr became grief-laden and so became protective of Elf Uhr.  He arranged for her to become the mate of the Guardian dragon Abwehr, without consulting her feelings of the matter.  She resisted the match and recently disappeared from the clan altogether.  Prinzessin is hurt deeply by the actions of her mate and no pleading on her part could get him to leave their daughter alone.  The recent disappearance has driven her into the skies with Flurries, another of the Original Four.  She hasn't talked with Zwolf Uhr lately, but she doesn't think he has noticed, as he is trying to deal with his own grief only she can see that he harbors.
