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.

Potlatch is a high-ranking member of the community and is all about giving cool little presents and preparing delicious food for others. She might as well be an arsani in disguise with her giving nature. Events like births, deaths, adoptions, magic acquisition, and centennials are all reason to commemorate and give, even if the dragons being celebrated don't think it's a big deal. Typically, Potlatch practices this in the winter seasons, since the warmer months are for procuring wealth and generally being busy while the weather is nice. She calls herself a House for unknown reasons.
