Template:Charbox Whiteout was a young female NightWing-IceWing hybrid who first appeared in Darkstalker (Legends). She was considered unusual to most of the NightWing tribe, and it was mentioned by Darkstalker that she thought in colors and wavelengths instead of words. Her speech was usually incoherent to most dragons with the exception of Thoughtful, and she even earned the teasing nickname "Weirdout" from Listener. She enjoyed painting, and was in a relationship with Thoughtful.

Appearance

Many dragons considered Whiteout to be extremely beautiful, as well as an obvious hybrid. The scales on her body were black with hints of dark sapphire blue[1]. Her wings were an icy bluish-white, identical in color to the spikes all along her back. Her sharp curved claws also shared this color[1]. Upon her wing membranes, she had a scattering of jet black scales, rather than of silver scales, similar to stars, like those of a typical NightWing[1]. She had striking pale blue eyes and a narrow, elegant, diamond-shaped head, which are likely descended traits from Arctic[2] being an IceWing.

Personality

Whiteout was very strange, differing from the other dragons in her tribe by the way she thought and talked. She seemed unaware of other dragons' distaste and hatred for her, however, and treated everyone kindly, though others might not have returned this favor. Whiteout has a neurological phenomenon called associative synesthesia, which Tui has confirmed[citation needed]. Associative synesthesia is when a 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. Clearsight noted that Whiteout trusted either completely or not at all. Whiteout was shown to be a caring and kind dragon, and she appeared to be a happy optimist. This is shown from the paintings of her family, where she made things appear happier than they really were. She was shown to care a lot for her brother before he went insane. She seemed to be very emotional, as shown during her parent's fight at the beginning of Darkstalker (Legends), as well as when Darkstalker enchanted Arctic near the end to obey every command he says. Whiteout also seemed to have a rather esoteric mindset, as she has stated she believes that everyone shares a collective brain, and that her knowledge has already been distributed across the rest of the world.

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 cracked open Whiteout's egg so she could also be born on the brightest night but chose not to after seeing some undesirable futures.

Whiteout is first seen in their home, trying to 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 was later seen at the NightWing school beside Clearsight, accompanied by Darkstalker. During the afternoon, Whiteout approached Clearsight to ask her if she is the dragon that her brother was looking for. Listener, who is beside Clearsight, talks about how strange Whiteout is and refers to her as "Weirdout" as she approaches them.

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 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 referred to Clearsight as 'azure on the inside' and says "That's all right; he's not going to snow for a while," about Darkstalker's soul.

After Clearsight and Darkstalker frantically flew to his home to find Foeslayer, Whiteout is found keening, as if in pain, in the living room, which Arctic reveals she has been doing for the past hour. Clearsight and Darkstalker comforted 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 he 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 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 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, Arctic, 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 so that Whiteout will follow him. Darkstalker then writes 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 violent self-disembowelment. After Arctic died, she is shown crying and being comforted by Thoughtful.

Relationships

Clearsight: Whiteout is shown to have a mutually 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: Thoughtful is portrayed as Whiteout's love interest after she noticed details about Thoughtful's glass sculptures no one had before. Clearsight altered the future after having a vision of Listener and Thoughtful's mundane future together, and to allow Listener a better future. Thoughtful comforts Whiteout after Prince Arctic's death.

Trivia

  • A whiteout is a storm in which it is very hard to see because of a heavy snowfall.
  • Whiteout is the third confirmed and named hybrid that has appeared in the series, the second being her brother, Darkstalker, the first being Princess Sunny, although there has also been a fourth and fifth hybrid, Typhoon, an IceWing-SeaWing hybrid, who appeared in Darkness of Dragons, and the fifth, Peacemaker, a NightWing-RainWing hybrid.
  • 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.
  • In Talons of Power, Sunny is confirmed to be descended from Whiteout. Whiteout had eggs with Thoughtful, who was shown to be destined to be with her, according to Clearsight's vision. This is the only known possible way 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 two thousand year sleep. This is further proven when Darkstalker admits it in Talons of Power.
  • 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, similar to knitting.
  • Whiteout once said to Darkstalker, "Only one of us will, depending on who loses the future" about reuniting with Foeslayer. This prophecy-like statement was foreshadowing Darkstalker and Foeslayer's reunion in Darkness of Dragons.
  • Tui recently confirmed that Whiteout has the same powers as Darkstalker does. However, since she was born a day later than expected, her powers were pushed "deep inside." This is shown when she tells Darkstalker "he's not going to snow for a while," hinting he will eventually turn evil. This also could hint at the fact that he used white sand in his soul reader to represent bad, as well as him becoming like Arctic. It is also shown that she has mind reading when she refers to the fact that Clearsight knits, meaning how she sees all of the possible paths and puts them together in her mind.
  • Whiteout is the first dragon shown to own a toy.
  • She is also the third dragon shown to have artistic talents, the first being Fathom and the second being Mightyclaws.
  • Tui confirmed Whiteout lived a happy life with Thoughtful and her dragonets after the events of Darkstalker: Legends.
  • Whiteout is the first dragon in the series known to have a neurological phenomenon, as she possesses associative synesthesia, which can be a tricky concept to explain or to grasp on paper. Watching this video and this video may be helpful in your understanding of what it's like to have associative synesthesia.
