Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts winter weather.

And look! It has grown wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Icyleaf has a very strange temperament for a winter dragon. She hates the barren plains of winter with a passion, and her favorite time of year is when the trees begin to bud again. She can usually be found playing with Floraleaf, Amberleaf, and Fallenleaf—while they aren't actually related, most dragons think they're siblings at first.
