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.

Bloodwhite is very confused about where she stands, having a father who is usually busy with a job that she finds boring and a rather unpleasant mother who lives underground. She has no designated rank within her Clan and spends most of her time wandering around, chatting with friends and hunting for herself.

She is particularly interested in literature and is close friends with Lyfievo, the Gilded Bloodscale "librarian" of the Clan's scroll archives. She herself enjoys writing and often collaborates with Lyfievo and other like-minded friends over the making of some new story. Her father Title-Keeper has often tried to convince Bloodwhite to use her affinity for scrolls to help him organize official records, but he doesn't seem to understand that that's not the kind of "literature" she enjoys.
