Whiteout


 * "Oh, I thought the marbles represented chaos theory and I was just another unpredictable whim of the universe. I did not intend to disrupt your faith in controllable outcomes."
 * —Whiteout to several NightWing students, Darkstalker

Whiteout was a female NightWing-IceWing hybrid dragonet who was introduced in Darkstalker. She attended the NightWing school and lived in the lost city of night until Darkstalker was imprisoned and she fled the city alongside Listener. She was in a relationship with Thoughtful, and had weak mind reading and prophetic abilities.

Appearance Edit
Whiteout had black scales with hints of dark sapphire blue, a narrow, elegant head like an IceWing's, and startling pale blue eyes similar to those of her father, Arctic. She had icy bluish-white wing membranes that were dotted with a scattering of black scales that gleamed like jet. Her sharp, curved claws and the spines along her back were also icy bluish-white. Her eyes were the same shape as Sunny's, although Sunny's are greener, according to Darkstalker. She was said to be quite beautiful.

Personality Edit
Whiteout was very different from the other dragons in her tribe in the way that she thought and spoke. According to Darkstalker, she thinks unlike anyone else he has seen, and it was as if she thought in colors and waves, not words and pictures. She is seemed to be unaware of other dragons' distaste for her, however, as she continued to treat everyone kindly.

Whiteout has a neurological phenomenon called associative synesthesia. Associative synesthesia is when stimulation of one sense (as of sound) leads to a stimulation of another (as of color). This was demonstrated when Whiteout referred to Clearsight as "azure on the inside," most likely associating the color blue with good (as she used blue in most of her paintings) and that her brother's soul had no spots, but "only stripes". Clearsight noted that Whiteout either trusted completely or not at all. Whiteout was shown to be a caring and kind dragon, and she appeared to be an optimist. This is shown from her paintings of her family, which made them appear less dysfunctional than they really were. She cared a lot for her brother. She seemed to be very emotional, as shown during her parent's fight at the beginning of Darkstalker, as well as when Darkstalker enchanted Arctic near the end to obey every command he says. Shortly after Darkstalker forced Arctic to disembowel himself, she was shown to be standing behind him with her eyes closed and tears running down her face, wings laying at her sides like "broken leaves."

Whiteout also seemed to have a rather esoteric mindset, as Darkstalker has stated she believes that everyone shares a collective brain and that her knowledge has already been distributed across the rest of the world. It also seems that blue is a good color for her, as she views it as happy. She paints most of her paintings with blue.

She was a skillful painter, and it was mentioned in Darkstalker that most of her pieces depicted the NightWing and IceWing tribes as companions instead of enemies.

Darkstalker Edit
Darkstalker is Whiteout's brother. They care deeply for one another. Darkstalker also at one point pretended to stand up for Whiteout to impress Clearsight. Whiteout is one of the few dragons Darkstalker loves, along with Foeslayer and Clearsight.

Clearsight Edit
Whiteout is shown to have a friendly relationship with Clearsight. When Arctic was killed by Darkstalker, Clearsight and Whiteout are shown comforting one another before Clearsight steals Darkstalker's scroll and flies away to Agate Mountain.

Thoughtful Edit
Thoughtful was Whiteout's crush after she noticed details about his glass sculptures no one had before. Thoughtful comforts Whiteout after Arctic's death. It is hinted that they fell in love with each other later in life.

Prophecies Edit
These are user interpretations of her prophecies, and while they have been reviewed and deemed accurate by parts of the community, it is important to note that they are not stated in canon.
