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.

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.

An egg fell out of the sky and into a lake. It wasn't a problem since the egg was strong enough not to break on water and could stay afloat until it hatched. But the egg couldn't stay an egg forever. The hatchling inside struggled to get out, not knowing what was going on outside. The shell cracked. Water flooded in.

She'd have drowned if she wasn't a white dragon (maybe not, if she was a water-living creature, anyway). Since she was capable of powerful healing magic, Knivis survived and came out with no lasting injuries.

Splashing sounds bring back the worst memories to the dragon. She would have had left long ago if she hadn't been a hatchling with no wings whatsoever. Though there are other reasons she doesn't leave nowadays, splashing is still a forbidden activity. Residents have come to watch their steps around the shore. The lake would be still as looking glass, as long as Knivis roams the land.
