Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s extremely curious and seems to enjoy exploring the area around it.

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.

The tiny dragon stumbled around the cave, long ears waving about, doubling as feelers. She had wings, but for some reason, she had stopped growing. But she was okay with it. Now that she was able to fly, she was a handful, but Mum didn't care. Forever young, the meaning behind her name of japanese roots.
