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.

WhiterShadeOfPale is a very gentle and caring dragon. She lives by the river, as she is in love with the water dragon and wishes to stay near him. It is really difficult for her there, though The climate is rather cold and rainy and it does not do good to her white, pale skin. She misses the sunny, green fields of her childhood. She keeps dreaming of them in her sleep and that makes her smile. But she loves BlueDeepWater a lot and she will never leave him. And there are a few days in a year when the riverside is blessed with the sun. And these days - oh, it's worth living for these days!
