Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It was born with a full set of wings.

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.

Tenacious Little One is exactly that: small and tenacious. She was wracked with illness and hives for much of her life, and she even died once, but, too stubborn to give up on life, she would power through every obstacle. Hatchlings her age are needy and have to rely on their parents for many things, while Tenacious Little One's parents are always very impressed at how their child is turning out. Her scales are hardening, and she seems to be getting sick less often now, and many grown-ups hope she'll go on to do great things when she's older and are eager to teach her.
