Personalities
Light dragons may have the word "light" in their official name, but they can be anything but. As with most kingdoms, no one dragon is the same. Some light dragons may be sweet and kind, and some may be ambitious and a fierce battler, or mean-spirited. However, these are usually better at overcoming their instincts to fight than other dragons.
Body Structures and Evolution
Light dragons are nowhere near heavy. They have powerful and flexible wings used for flying in the high areas and their bones are even more hollow than those of other dragon kingdoms, making them more liable to break. Their legs are wider and flatter than those of other dragons, with shorter claws. They are also nowhere near as strong as the legs of the dragons who spend their lives walking, although they do contain some muscle.
Due to the small amount of oxygen and the enormous amount of air pressure in the higher atmosphere, light dragons are able to filter in large amounts of hydrogen to fill in for the missing oxygen. This makes them weaker when flying lower, as they are unable to breathe properly for a time. Their bodies do adjust after a day or two to the new air, but it's a large weakness.
Homes
Light dragons mold clouds using their wings. Able to manipulate the meager streams of wind, they can twist their wings in any which direction in order to form a hollow in the clouds that is possible to walk on. The shape is due to their wings; the fact that the clouds are near solid can be defined as magic.
Food
Light dragons do not eat any form of animal or vegetable. In fact, they "eat" by the sunlight. Much like a plant, they can absorb sunlight through their scales and turn it into their own food. They are also able to eat meat, but it is a rare treat for them as they are so high above the ground.
