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.

Though her main job in Sierra Valley is investigation and involves a lot of unpleasant sights and truths, Pink Up is also a pastor-slash-sitter at the local Church of Sinomorph. The title is officially "pastor", but she only oversees the kiddies, so she likes to say "pastor-slash-sitter". The side job has affected her behavior in many ways that her peers find endearing but also a bit embarrassing. She is incapable of using strong language even under duress: she opted for "Oh gosh dang him!" when her team discovered a highly dangerous suspect had escaped from custody. Around adults, she always behaves like she's setting an example for a hatchling and won't make a snide comment or bare her teeth at someone without apologizing for her rudeness. Her newer colleagues can hardly believe she's like this all the time.
