Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon.

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.

Handle is far to cool for any other hatchling to keep up with her. She knows how to walk the walk, talk the talk, and flutter her wings in the most becoming way. Unfortunately, because she's a girly-girl in the midst of a herd of tomboys, Handle is often left on her own when it comes to arguments about why she deserves the prettiest portion of dinner and why no one else should be allowed to bathe in the lake at the same time as her.
