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.

Opal Fang spends most of her time warming in the sun. It may not be bad because of the oily secretion, but the others in the clan believe it's harmful to her. Opal is playful, and not very mature for her age, but she is a valued member of the clan due to her status as a huntress. She was intended as a mate for Quartz Soul, but the egg just happened to turn out female. Though, she had developed a strong sisterly bond with the other Albino dragon who she has affectionately nicknamed Quartzie.
