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.

Once a fiery, silver-tongued charmer, and a creamy-colored dragon, Celia retains the charm but has mellowed and whitened with age. As the mate of Lady d'Avelinge, patriarch of Kadoatie's Aves clan-within-a-clan, Celia has gained an endless patience whilst dealing with her stubborn descendants. These days she just shrugs at the wounds of her offspring and sends them off again because they are Aves, and she knows they can't resist the drama of war.

Centuries of a selfish youth, where everyone bent to her will, left her with an profound appreciation of those who support rather than insist on leading. She now lives as Lady's support in rough times. The younger generations insist on antics; she is already long past them.
