Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It has bright blue eyes, and is as clumsy as any other hatchling, but it never seems to get injured.

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.

Raya is often looked upon as pathetic and needy, because of the fact that she no longer truly lives. Yes, she eats and breathes, but like a frozen river, she no longer pulses with growth and strength. She's Siri—a Dragon language word for paralyzed, frozen in time, never to age again. Raya, against her breeds' nature, has a sharp tongue, and couldn't heal an ailing dragon if her life depended on it. And it is so, she accepts that she will never age, never move forward again. The only other White Dragon in the Lykko clan Kaede is both a saviour and a heartache, as he is the dragon who froze her as she teetered on the brink of death.
