Ridgewing Dragons live just below the snow level on the upper slopes of mountains. They are a friendly, playful breed and enjoy dancing in wind currents near their homes or plummeting down into valleys from great heights. Their wings, by far their most striking feature, grow in fin-like ridges along their backs. While their bodies lack markings to blend better with their surroundings, a ridgewing’s wings have bright markings in the colors of the flowers that grow in their mountain habitat. Occasionally different-colored individuals can be found, but they are rare because their striking coloring offers little protection.

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.

Whiteout is a very artistic gal. She loves to paint abstract murals. She loves to paint the flowers that grow around her mountain home. She's playful and determined, always trying to experiment and learn. She's quite reclusive too, though. She doesn't like to be disturbed when she's focused. Whiteout will occasionally space out, thinking about some great idea. Sometimes she'll even space out while she's painting, causing the paint to dry on her claws.

You might ask what drove her to art. Whiteout's mother abandoned her because of the paleness of her scales--it was thought that she wouldn't survive long and her mother didn't want to get attached to her. So Whiteout wants to fill the world with vibrancy to make up for the lack of color in her childhood.
