Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.

Dragons don’t communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Black dragons are warriors. They are strong and capable in battles of force, but also ample magic users, capable of devastating opponents with their spells. Their bright eyes give them excellent night vision, which is why they generally hunt during the night.

Starfriend is a female Black dragon of the Featherwing Weyr. As a caveborn Black dragon, her esteem in the Weyr is unmatched by even the short-lined Gold female, Goldgleam. To add to the factors that incite envy in her peers, Starfriend is also widely regarded as one of the most beautiful dragons in the Weyr. Flameflow, the Magma planning to overtake the Weyr, especially wants to gain her support of his cause. Starfriend, though, couldn't be bothered by the jealousy or the politics of the cave. She's a friendly, dreamy dragon who prefers to spend her time trying to learn the art of scrying from Cleareyes, the female Albino.

Starfriend does not want a mate right now.
