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.

Goldberry enjoys two things most of all: singing and water lilies. When autumn approaches she gathers all the lilies she can find and keeps them in earthenware dishes to protect them from the harsh cold. Then in spring she brings the lilies back to where she found them and sings to them so they open up and shine with a mysterious light. This earned Goldberry the nickname "Bright".

Goldberry loves to spend time with another Albino Dragon called Tom Bombadillo, who sings silly little songs for her and makes her laugh.
