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.

One lone night, a little hatchling slipped outside, full of wonderment for the world and anticipation at her secret adventure. Almost completely silent on her claws, she made her way down the mountainside until she reached the forest. Barely containing her overflowing excitement, she giggled and went exploring. Maybe it wouldn't have been a bad thing, in the end, just a tale to tell her friends the next morning to their amazement. Alas, it didn't go as planned. Deep in the forest, she found herself entangled in the vines of a deadly dragon. When she escaped, it was near death and with many wound that would leave scars.

Due to this traumatic event in her hatchlinghood, Novella Dracella is scarred for life, mentally as well as physically. Afraid of getting close to others, she likes to seclude herself, making her insecurities only grow. It is no wonder she has yet to find a mate, since she is afraid of rejection because of her marred physique.
