Appearance
Shiver is pure white on their whole body, which has a silverish shimmer to it. They don't have scales, only fur. Their tail and legs fade to a very light silverish blue, as do the tips of thier horns. They were born without wings, which was expected, as they are part silkwing. However, they have not grown wings since. They have icewing horns and silkwing antennae, which are the same shade of light silvery blue. They also have some strange silver triangle markings near their eyes. 
Personality
Shiver is a bit strange. They're hard to have a conversation with, as they always trail off before finishing a sentence, or get lost deep in thought. Their emotions are hard to read, and can be very intense or out of control. It's very hard to tell what's on their mind, and sometimes they feel quite lonely, as almost no one understands them. They are very creative though, and they love to write. They can be unstable, and have panic attacks, when they see fire or feel too hot. They have claustrophobia and pyrophobia. Sometimes, when they have a panic attack, they will hurt someone close too them. This causes them to feel immense amounts of guilt. They also have social anxiety, which makes it so they are constantly avoiding being with a large group of people, and they feel a whole lot of pressure and stress when put on the spot. They don't like making conversation much, and only have one of two close friends that they are comfortable talking too. They can be possesive or clingy though, and get jealous when their friends make new friends, and can feel left out at times.
History
Shiver woke up one day, stranded in a blizzard. They rushed to find shelter, and found themselves in a small cave. What happened? All they could remember was their name. For a few weeks, they travelled (by foot of course). One day, they came across a very kind dragon named Blissful. Blissful was kind, and took time to understand Shiver. They grew to like Blissful. The two of them travelled together for a while. One day, they found the sky kingdom, and Shiver saw so many dragons who were breathing fire. It scared them. They went into a state of panic, screaming and clawing at anything near them. Unfortunately, that meant Blissful. When they came out of the panic, they saw Blissful in front of them, on the ground, terror in her eyes. Shiver was overcome with guilt, and wouldn't let her near them for the next few days. Blissful forgave Shiver quickly though, and wanted to help them. Shiver and Blissful eventually figured out that seeing fire or being in too much heat was what threw Shiver into panic, so they went to the ice kingdom. There, they met Rosefinch, who was funny and light-spirited. The three of them are now very close. Shiver realised they had feelings for both Blissful and Rose, and was conflicted by the feelings. Meanwhile, the three of them were trying to look for answers about Shiver's past. Then, Blissful anounced that she and her childhood best friend, Shard, were dating. When Shiver learned this, they felt heartbroken. They ran away from the group, and found themselves in the same place they were in from the beggining. Stranded in a snowstorm. This time, they went in a different direction, and stumbled across an abandoned, burned down village. Immediately, their memories came rushing back.
The wind was blowing cold and harsh, a storm coming with it. It was the middle of the night, and it was quiet, Shiver's favorite. Their parents and sister were inside, and she was outide enjoying the cold. Their family called for them to come inside, but the calls were carried away in the wind. So were the screams. Then Shiver smelled the smoke. They whipped around, to see flames rising from their little village. Shiver cried out in alarm, and raced to their home. They rushed inside, and felt the heat and smoke clog up their lungs. Seeing nothing but ash was the last thing they remembered before waking up that day, in the blizzard. 
Upon remembering all of this, Shiver felt so incredibly hurt, and lost, and alone. She let the wind push her around in the storm. It was cold, too cold, and Shiver wandered aimlessly. (wip)

Shard: Shiver doesn't really know what to think about Shard. He can be loud, and sometimes a bother. They especially disliked him when they figured out he and Blissful were dating.
