'Whiteout' was a female NightWing-IceWing hybrid dragonet who was introduced in Darkstalker. She
attended the NightWing school and resided in the lost city of night
until she fled the city alongside the rest of the NightWing tribe. She
was in a relationship with Thoughtful and had weak mind reading and
prophetic abilities. She was Darkstalker's younger sister and the
daughter of Foeslayer and Arctic|Prince Arctic.

## Description

Whiteout had black scales with hints of dark sapphire blue, a narrow,
elegant head, and startling cool, pale blue eyes similar to Arctic's.
Her icy-blue wings were dotted with jet-black scales. Her sharp, curved
claws and the spines along her back were also icy bluish white. She was
quite beautiful and strange-looking. Darkstalker noted lots of minds
thought that Whiteout was the most beautiful dragon on Pyrrhia.

## Personality

Whiteout's mind was peaceful and quiet. It heavily differed from other
brains, as if she thought in colors and waves instead of in words. Her
brain would sometimes be so quiet that Darkstalker assumed that she must
not be paying attention, and then she would make an observation that
surprised him. She never kept secrets; it was as if she thought that if
she knew something, everyone must know it. She would have hated the
stilted formality of palace functions, and she was sweet, interesting,
and gleeful. She had a strange way of speaking, and Clearsight got the
impression that Whiteout was already gathering more information about
her than a NightWing mind-reader upon meeting her. She was considered
strange by her peers and either trusted completely or not at all. When
she was enchanted to speak the same way as everyone else, she thought
all her words were coming out wrong.

### Legends

left Darkstalker

Whiteout and Darkstalker were in the same clutch of eggs, but
Darkstalker's egg hatched first, on a night with three full moons.
Darkstalker saw a future where he could help his sister hatch with him
and also have powers; he decided against it, wanting all the love that
was waiting for himself. Whiteout's egg did not hatch until the next day
when the moons were no longer full.

Whiteout was first seen in their home, trying to block out the sound of
her parents' argument with her wings. Darkstalker came in and comforted
her, before jutting into his parents' frenzied quarrel.

She was later seen at the NightWing school beside Clearsight,
accompanied by Darkstalker. During the afternoon, Whiteout approached
Clearsight to talk to her. Listener, who was beside Clearsight, told her
about how strange Whiteout was and used the nickname "Weirdout" as she
approached them. Whiteout asked Clearsight if she was the dragon
Darkstalker was looking for, and Clearsight told her the truth, because
it would be important in the future that Whiteout trusted her.

Later, Clearsight saw Whiteout again, walking and mumbling to herself.
Whiteout accidentally walked right over a game of marbles and scattered
them everywhere. The three NightWings then started yelling at Whiteout
before Darkstalker "materialized out of the shadows," and stopped them.
When he told Whiteout why the dragons were upset and asked her to
apologize, she responded with, "Oh, I thought the marbles represented
chaos theory and I was just another unpredictable whim of the universe."

During dinner when Arctic revealed Darkstalker was an animus, Whiteout
referred to Clearsight as 'azure on the inside' and said "that's all
right; he's not going to snow for a while," she was talking about
Darkstalker's soul. This meant that Clearsight was good, and Darkstalker
would stay good for a little longer.

After Clearsight and Darkstalker frantically flew to his home to find
Foeslayer, Whiteout was found keening, as if in pain, in the living
room, where she had been for the past hour. Clearsight comforted her
while Darkstalker confronted Arctic.

At Queen Vigilance's glass jubilee festival, Whiteout played
Games|Scales-and-squares along with Darkstalker and Fathom at the game
area. There, she met Thoughtful when Clearsight introduced Whiteout to
him. According to Clearsight, Thoughtful and Whiteout were destined for
great love together, which was why she tried to keep her friend from
ending up with him. When Whiteout first saw Thoughtful, she commented on
how shiny his scales were and talked about his glass sculpture in her
funny way of speaking. Thoughtful seemed to understand everything she
was saying and was surprised and delighted that someone "saw the pieces
of scroll inside the waves" in his glasswork. Thoughtful then challenged
Whiteout to a game of Scroll Tower, which she gladly accepted, saying
that he was going to die of awe.

One morning, Whiteout was found lying awake with a new necklace and
talking uncharacteristically normally, which she thought did not sound
right. She was then brought by her father, Arctic, across the Kingdom of
Sand towards the Ice Kingdom before being stopped by Darkstalker. She
explained to him that she wanted to go with Arctic and that she always
hated Darkstalker, at which point Darkstalker realized her necklace was
enchanted by Arctic so that Whiteout would follow him. Darkstalker then
wrote a spell to make Arctic obey his every order and commanded him to
smash the necklace he enchanted. Rather dazed, Whiteout then flew back
to the Night Kingdom and was present for her father's rather violent
self-disembowelment. After Arctic died, she started crying and
Thoughtful pushed through the crowd to comfort her. When Darkstalker
inquired on Clearsight's whereabouts and his scroll, Whiteout told him
that Clearsight took the scroll and she would meet him on Agate
Mountain.

Whiteout later fled the Night Kingdom, along with Thoughtful and the
rest of the NightWing tribe. Whiteout was said to have lived happily
with Thoughtful and had a family with him.

## Relationships

### Arctic

Whiteout was Arctic's daughter, and, according to Darkstalker, he often
acted as though she was his only dragonet. He openly preferred her over
Darkstalker, probably because her IceWing genetics were more visible.
Although Arctic seemed to spend time with Whiteout by taking her on
outings and buying her special fish, Darkstalker thought that Arctic did
not really care about her feelings, and treated Whiteout like a necklace
he could put on display and hang up afterwards. Later in the book,
Arctic showed disapproval of her feelings for Thoughtful, most likely
because he was a NightWing. Arctic also showed little consideration for
who his daughter actually was as a dragon, using animus magic to alter
Whiteout's personality — making her hate her brother, want to marry an
IceWing, and live in the Ice Kingdom even if it meant she would be
miserable there. He also used his magic to change the way Whiteout spoke
so she would sound "normal," revealing a desire for his daughter to be
exactly how he wanted her to be: a "perfect" dragonet in contrast to
Darkstalker.

### Darkstalker

Darkstalker was Whiteout's brother. They cared deeply for one another
and were physically affectionate. He became angry when his parents
fought without regard for Whiteout's presence, and spoke softly to her
and brushed one wing over her back whenever she was upset.

Darkstalker explored his sister's mind often, but he was never able to
figure it out; he noted that Whiteout was "the only dragon who could
surprise him", and he thought she was perfect the way she was.
Darkstalker also at one point deliberately stood up for Whiteout to
impress Clearsight. When Darkstalker learned that Arctic was taking her
to the Ice Kingdom, he immediately set out to hunt him down and bring
him back to the lost city of night.

### Thoughtful

Whiteout and Thoughtful's future contained a great love, and according
to Clearsight's visions, they were meant for one another. Whiteout
described him as shining, and he was surprised and pleased when Whiteout
recognized him as the artist of the Cascade of Dreams. He beamed when
she accompanied him to participate in scroll tower. After Darkstalker
killed Arctic, Thoughtful came towards Whiteout through the crowd with
worried eyes. She lived a long and happy life with Thoughtful after
Darkstalker's fall.
