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.

Silver dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Silver females, like most female dragons, eat meat only when a male dragon brings it to them. They possess an almost magical aura that lights up any place they are in, and are looked upon with awe by humans and animals alike.

Leader of the Xouran Matriarchal Lineage. What started as simply a pairing of Ametrine and Quartz Xouran has now grown to be a massive family. Ametrine, leading the family, accepts all sorts- even adopting other abandoned eggs or hatchlings to raise as her own. Ametrine is one of the oldest and strongest dragons in the family and she has always been very motherly and accepting, it is said that this is why so many other dragons flock to be by her side. Though Ametrine has been courted by other dragons from time to time, Quartz is her life mate and the one who resides next to her for leading the Xouran family.

With Ametrine's leadership and mothering and Quartz's healing and knowledge, this family has a combination that is hard to beat.
