Albino Dragons are so named because their translucent, scale-less skin lacks all pigment. Instead, to help protect their bodies from the sun, they are coated in an oily secretion that blocks the sun’s harmful rays. The call of an albino dragon is similar to a barn owl--a shriek instead of a roar.

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.

Sawren is not ashamed of her looks; while other dragons may be repulsed, she is proud of her heritage and hopes that her children are too. She was hatched at the same time with the horse dragon, Rupoe, and had (or still has...) strong feelings for the introverted dragon. After Terwen came along, Rupoe began to talk less and less with Sawren, so, hurt, she got together with the electric dragon (Terwen). She is always thinking about what she could've done differently, but she loves her children too much to regret her choices.
