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.

Lady Saya was the first to hatch among the eggs in her home and is generally a gentle dragon. Although her lineage is known, she has no connection to her family and therefore has a different family name. She has assumed somewhat of an alpha role among the dragons, but it is only on the grounds of age. She makes friends with the other dragons readily and often takes the role of a mother when there are new eggs or hatchlings.
