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.

There's a reason Deiynal's name is so similar to her best friend, Deiya Starrae. To understand it, you need to know something about "Nylie."

She can revert pain of another to herself, an art known as pain bending.

When Deiya was first born, it caused turmoil. Her grandparents were mortal enemies and Deiya was an embodiment of the genetic bridge which now existed between them.

None took it so personally as her grandmother Natasha did. When Deiya was only a few months old, she did the unthinkable. She attacked young Deiya. Her parents Krios and Rae stepped in, but they were too late. Deiya was barely alive. They were forced to leave their beloved daughter for dead.

But Nylie didn't give up. No older than Deiya herself, she tapped into her pain bending for the first time and, though it about killed her, saved her best friend.

So, when Nylie was given her name, Deiya insisted on being named similarly, after her friend and guardian angel.
