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.

Fuchsia Lightning is a noble purple dragon with deep blue eyes and a long golden feathered plume. She was hatched on a day of a terrible storm and a bolt of lightning seared into Hatching Sands, just as the owner of the lands, her Keeper, was struggling to think up a name. This is how her name came about. She grew into a splendid dragoness who soon caught the eye of a Geode dragon who was fascinated by her sparkling scales. He introduced himself and the two became friends, lovers then life mates. She is part of the air guard and reports to Amberfrith and Nidhogg Shadow-Wing.
