Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence 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. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

White dragons are pacifists and specialize in extremely strong healing magic. The only limit of this magic is that it can’t bring back the dead. They only eat plants and never kill living things.

Shinyamon's pale, slender frame hides an inner strength and a stubborn streak. Quiet and serious, she masks her pretty face with the tip of her tail when amused or teased by her friends. Stronger emotions bring her snowy white wings around to enfold as much of her as possible, hiding her from the world. Her protective bond-mate Diren Grey often finds her listening to the music of the rolling thunder during the frequent storms in the area, their daughter Raison curled up against her.
