#yellowscale

Whitescales are stereotyped as somewhat dainty. Because of their commonly slight builds (especially among Ghiasuli) and their often ghostly pale features, it’s easy to see them as delicate. However, in Ghiasuli society, this is often seen as appealing or a point of beauty, although the reverse side of this is that they can be viewed as fragile, weak, or prissy. 

Redscales have a history of nobility for the Ghiasuli. As such, they’re often associated with the upper class. However, due to a fairly large (though often exaggerated) Redscale population, they’re also seen as a sort of “default”. When Redscales bear purely colored scales, they tend to have higher societal expectations placed upon them than when the colors are muddled. 

As in the other nations, Blackscales have something of a reputation of violence. In Ghiasuli culture, they’re often considered the hardiest of the colors. Of Ghiasuli, they tend to have the largest and strongest bodies. However, they can also be considered less intelligent or eloquent, and don’t fit as well with Ghiasuli aesthetic standards. Many are considered plain or coarse-featured. 

As it tends to be, in Ghiasuli culture, Yellowscales are considered to be the most intelligent of the scale colors. They’re often thought of as composed and controlled in personality, but this comes with the added connotation of them being emotionless and too blunt. Yellowscales are also often thought of as being quick-witted and creative. 

“Do you have any notable characters that go against the stereotypes associated with their scale types?”

---

Yep, absolutely!!! :D To explain that, though, I’m going to have to go into detail on the general stereotypes associated with each scale color. Also, for this ask, I’m assuming that you mean the physical stereotypes. Feel free to send another ask if you want to hear about any other forms of stereotypes!!!

Also important to note is that scale color will always equal eye color in human forms. The only exception to this is mutations, who are kind of in a class of their own, and don’t really apply.

Whitescales are stereotypically extremely pale-skinned, with either white or pale grey hair. Pure white eyes are also in line with the stereotype. They’re also stereotyped as being very small and slender. 

Redscales stereotypically have darker or ruddier skin and hair that’s either some shade of red, a reddish brown, or light blonde. Their eyes are stereotypically a bright, vivid red or a deep burgundy. 

Blackscales stereotypically have skin that’s pale or rather ochre in tone. Their hair is supposed to be either pure black or a sandy brown, and their eyes are also supposed to be pure black. They’re also stereotyped as being built big. 

Yellowscales are stereotypically the darkest skinned. They’re also thought of as having dark purple, dark red, or rich brown hair. Their eyes are stereotyped as being either vibrant yellow or an ochre hazel. 

Bluescales are stereotyped as being fair-skinned, with either extremely dark brown or bright ginger hair. The stereotype for their eyes is either clear cornflower blue or a rich, ocean type of shade.
