Template:QuoteBox Template:Infobox Character Whiteout is Darkstalker's younger sister and the daughter of Prince Arctic and Foeslayer, who appears in Darkstalker (Legends). Many NightWings consider Whiteout to be very unusual, and tend to avoid her because Whiteout has a strange way of thinking, speaking, and doesn't look like a normal NightWing. As explained by Darkstalker, it's almost like she is thinking in colors and waves. For instance, she once described Clearsight's personality as being 'azure on the inside.' This mode of thinking is very similar to the medical condition[1] known as associative synesthesia. Her speech is mostly an incomprehensible jumble of words that only Thoughtful seems to be able to piece together and understand when she talks to him about his "Cascade of Dreams" glasswork. She even gained the nickname "Weirdout" from Listener because of this. In public, Whiteout's father Arctic uses her like a necklace (as described by Darkstalker) or a sparkly gem, like something he can display then tuck away, rather than a dragonet. Darkstalker has expressed that he truly loves his sister, protecting her from dragons who tease her at school. He also enchanted a wooden scavenger for her that, if lost, will always turn up on her pillow by that night.

Appearance

Many dragons, Darkstalker included, consider her to be the most beautiful dragon in all of Pyrrhia. The scales on her body are black with hints of dark sapphire blue. Her wings are icy bluish-white along with the spikes all along her back and her curved claws. Underneath her wings, she has a scattering of jet black scales, rather than of silver scales like those of a full NightWing. These scales stand out on the white undersides of her wings. She has striking pale blue eyes[2], which she inherited from Prince Arctic and the narrow, elegant diamond shaped head of an IceWing. Darkstalker stated once that she easily looks like an IceWing-NightWing hybrid, unlike himself.

Biography

Darkstalker (Legends)

Whiteout and Darkstalker were in the same clutch of eggs, but Darkstalker's egg hatched first, on a night with three full moons, while Whiteout's egg stayed still and didn't hatch until the next day, when the moons were no longer full. Darkstalker could have used his animus powers to summon Whiteout from her egg on the brightest night, but he chose not to.

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

She is later seen at the NightWing school by Clearsight, accompanied by Darkstalker. During the afternoon, Whiteout approaches Clearsight to ask her if she is the dragon her brother is looking for. Listener, who is beside Clearsight, talks about how strange Whiteout is and refers to her as "Weirdout" as she approaches.

Clearsight sees Whiteout again later, walking and mumbling to herself. Whiteout accidentally walked right over a game of marbles three other NightWings were playing and scattered the marbles all over the place with her tail without noticing a thing. The NightWings then started yelling at and insulting Whiteout before Darkstalker materialized out of the shadows and stopped them. When he told Whiteout why the dragons were upset and asks 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 reveals Darkstalker is an animus, Whiteout refers to Clearsight as 'azure on the inside' and says "That's all right; he's not going to snow for a while," about Darkstalker.

After Clearsight and Darkstalker frantically fly to his home to find Foeslayer, Whiteout is found keening in the living room, which Arctic reveals she has been doing for the past hour. Clearsight and Darkstalker comfort her. 

At Queen Vigilance's glass jubilee festival, Whiteout played scales-and-squares along with Darkstalker and Fathom at the game area. There, she meets Thoughtful when Clearsight interrupts Listener's flirting to introduce Whiteout to him. According to Clearsight, Thoughtful and Whiteout were destined for great love together, while Listener and him would be merely happy, yet missing something. When Whiteout first saw Thoughtful, she commented on how shiny his scales were and talked about his glass sculptor 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 music. Thoughtful then challenged Whiteout to a game of scroll tower, which she gladly accepted.

One morning, Whiteout is found lying awake with a new necklace and talking uncharacteristically normally, which she describes as not sounding right. She is then brought by her father across the Sand Kingdom towards the Ice Kingdom before being stopped by Darkstalker. She explains to him that she wants to go with Arctic, and that she always hated him, at which point Darkstalker realizes her necklace is enchanted by Arctic. Darkstalker then writes the spell to make Arctic obey his every order and commanded him to smash the necklace. Rather dazed, Whiteout is flown back to the Night Kingdom and present for her father's violent disembowelment. After Arctic was dead, she is shown crying and being comforted by Thoughtful.

Trivia

  • Whiteout is the third confirmed and named hybrid that has appeared in the series, the second being her brother Darkstalker, the first being Sunny.
  • Whiteout has illustrated many drawings of NightWings and IceWings living peacefully together, all drawn in shades of blue, which hints that she wishes that her family, or the tribes they are from, could live peacefully together despite their differences. It is also stated she has painted the three moons, constellations, and the night sky, which shows her love of painting and might also hint at a delicately crafted metaphor on the NightWings and IceWings. Darkstalker told Clearsight he called it her Wishful Thinking series.
  • Whiteout is most likely believed to have had eggs with Thoughtful, who was shown to be destined to be with her according to Clearsight's vision. This would be one of the only known possible ways for the Nightwings to have inherited the animus gene, considering Darkstalker never had dragonets before Clearsight gave him the animus-touched bracelet that had sent him into his 2000 year sleep.
  • Whiteout once said that Clearsight was "azure on the inside." This could imply that she is good inside, which would explain why Whiteout does most of her paintings in shades of blue; Blue means 'good' to her. She also said 'I like the way she knits' about Clearsight, which could possibly mean the way she looks through the threads of timelines.
  • Whiteout once said to Darkstalker, "only one of us will, depending on who loses the future" about reuniting with Foeslayer. This prophecy-like statement could mean Darkstalker and Foeslayer will reunite in Talons of Power or Darkness of Dragons. It also suggests that Whiteout may have the power to see the future.
