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.

Schneefloeckchen is a small, quiet, unassuming hatchling. She loves not to be noticed and watch the older dragons from a quiet corner, listening in on their thoughts, almost never discovered. This gives her a great advantage on finding yuletide presents early as well as learning all kinds of interesting stuff that hatchies aren't meant to know.
