Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has large frills on its head.

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.

This little dragon is one of a handful of sister frills who fell into the hands of a demented woman known as Sick Seeker.  Though eventually found and rescued by the dragon keeper Lorraine, the sisters had already gone through so many surgeries and experiments that their ability to communicate was gone and most of them were unable to mature past puberty.

One day, a visiting gypsy dance-speaker performed a skit for all the dragons, and the sisters were so fascinated by it that they began to imitate the dances of their favorite lines.  This dragon loves most the part where an arrogant dragon poacher from the southeast cries out, "So help me!"  The poacher had never helped anyone in his life, so when he needed help, no one lifted a finger.  Of all the frill sisters, this little one carries the most bitterness and the harshest grudge against Sick Seeker, and she hopes someday that the woman will be found and made to suffer at least as harshly as the man in the story.
