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.

Nina is large, with patches of lavender in the creases of her legs and wings. These wings, of which she is very proud, grew in late, undersized, with frail membranes. Through her parents' love, Albus's magic, and her own indomitable spirit, she eventually learned to fly. Despite the trials of her early youth, or perhaps because of them, Nina's warm heart is overflowing with empathy. She wills herself to be a friend to all, and frequently takes Syffa on long flights. It was during one of these flights that she found a cave blocked by dying eggs. Frantic, heartsick, she swooped down and discovered a sickly hatchling clamouring over the eggs. Nina gently scooped up the tiny dorsal and strained her wings in her haste to bring it back to Albus.
