Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. Its eyes glow brightly at night, and it enjoys attacking insects and small animals.
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.

Nohira is a strange little thing. Though frozen for a long time, she has never shed her childishness and always looks out on the world with large, bewildered eyes. Because of her innocence, she is very vulnerable and this is heightened by her apparent inability to learn and grow up. She takes delight in simple things and her bubbly laugh comes readily. But she also periodically retreats deep into herself and refuses all contact - even that of her adored sister Lraycha, who is the only dragon who understands her and can communicate with her.
