Backstory: Since his moment of birth: Alabaster has had pressure on him to be perfect. Despite being an Icewing: Alabaster was not raised on Pyrrhia, his egg drifted out to sea, where it somehow, Against all odds: made it's way to a land called: Peryo. His egg was found on the shores of The Holy lands, home of the pious, Sunwing tribe. When he hatched, the Sunwings who found him were unsure of what he was, so they took him to the High priest.
Alabaster's scales were very white, even for an icewing, so the High Priest assumed that Alabaster's presence was the next coming of the fabled: White Knight. You see: Sunwings have a very rare gene in them that makes it so that: every few decades: an albino Sunwing would hatch, as opposed to the usual yellow and gold. When an albino Sunwing hatched: they were immediately taken to the home of the legendary: Knights of Saint, legendary warriors who had devout faith and worship of Saint: father of all dragon gods. They had access to the mystical Pond of Saint, that was believed to have magic properties, because when weapons or armour was bathed in the pond: it would gain the ability to harm demons, or other unholy creatures that the knights worked tirelessly to eradicate. The White Knight was believed to be the ultimate killer of demons.
An albino Sunwing would usually pop up a few decades after the old one passes, but there hadn't been one for a centuries now, and with no albino Sunwing: there could be no White Knight, but then Alabaster came, and he was taken to start his training as the new White Knight. This put pressure on Alabaster as not only was The White Knight suppose to be a Slayer of demons, but a holy symbol for all that was pure, good, and right. Whoever wields the mantle of the White Knight is supposed to be perfect in every aspect, The White Knight must always make the right decision, they must always be seen as dignified and must never show any signs of imperfection, The White Knight must always put slaying demons and defending the civilians from danger, and must have utmost faith in Saint. From the moment he could successfully hold a spear, all of Peryo was looking to him to be a legendary hero, a great warrior, and the literal definition of perfection.
One day, The Knights of Saint caught wind that a powerful demon walked he lands of Pyrrhia, so the knights sent Alabaster off to Pyrrhia so that he could exterminate it, they knew that the demon was masquerading as a student at Jade Mountain Academy, so Alabaster enrolled in the school himself, hoping to uncover the demon during while pretending to be a student himself, kill it, and (hopefully) make a quick getaway back to Peryo. But as bad luck would have it: Tsunami and Clay confiscated his weapons, armour, and other gear that was needed to slay the demon, without it: he had almost no hope of going up against the demon he sought, apparently he would just have to find another way.
Personality: Though Alabaster often hides behind a wall of duty, honour, justice, and righteousness: inside he is kind, courageous, caring and determined, he does what he can to help his friends and tries his hardest to be good, even if he struggles to understand how "friends" interact, his isolated lifestyle that came with his upbringing left little time for social interactions and making of friends, leading to Alabaster struggling to be a good friend, considering he's never really had any. Though like anything else: he doesn't stop trying. He doesn't understand the concept of nicknames, and wonders if the reason his friends call him "Al" is because they don't remember the rest of his name. Aside from that: Alabaster can often be seen playing the role of the stoic, steadfast, disciplined warrior that doesn't speak as much as he should.
Powers: none
Skills: Great battle proficiency: Despite his young age: Alabaster is one of the top warriors in Peryo, given that he was literally trained to be the best of the best.
Endurance: Having been beaten often for failures by his masters: Alabaster isn't overly fazed when enduring pain.
Tracking: Alabaster is an adequate tracker, which comes in handy for finding demons.

Rating:
Alabaster is a hard working individual who puts protecting the weak above all else, and does his hardest to succeed in anything he does, and becomes a genuinely nice, kind dragon when let out of his shell and taken from his comfort zone.
He has trouble understanding the fact that although he's expected to be better than others, he is not better than others, and often struggles with the fact that he's more than "The White Knight" and that it's okay to take a break from being so to just be himself.
I think I'll give him: 5/10
(See's his rating) Alabaster: 'Wait: was I taking a test!? Let me take it again, I can get a higher score if I take it again'!
Cajun: 'Al, no, there's no test it's based on your personality'.
Alabaster: 'That's not my name, and I can have a better personality if I could just take the test again! White Knights don't get bad scores'!
Cajun: 'I know your name, and pipe down, I can't hear myself cook'!
Alabaster: 'I can't have a bad score, I'm The White Knight'!
Stormy: 'I don't know what you're complaining about, 5/10 is right in the middle, good but room for improvement, that's like... The sweet spot'.
Alabaster: 'I'm the White Knight, I'm not supposed to have room for improvement... And the "sweet spot" is 10/10'!
