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.

Fumnanya was found as an egg; she was stolen from the main cave. Her name means "love me". She has always been an attention-starved dragon. Although popular with the other dragons of her cave, she longs for company. She has enticed many a dragon into sitting at her feet and regaling her with adoration. However, beyond this lovely facade, she is in near constant turmoil, thinking of new ways to enhance her beauty.
