Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. You think it's a girl, although you're not sure how to check.
And look! It's grown its wings! It must be close to maturing.

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

Kusum Bala was abandoned and found by Kerzi, a female water dragon with no children of her own.  Kerzi raised the the young purple dragon until she reached the stage of growing in her wings.  After revealing to Kerzi that she wished to remain a hatchling forever in order to accompany her friend and fellow hatchling, Mrazene, Kusum Bala turned into a frozen hatchling.  She now currently plays with her best friend Mrazene and the other current hatchlings.
