Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts winter weather.

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.

Rynez has been in love with Selqua ever since she's seen him. Seeing that he would be a hatchling forever, Rynez didn't want to grow up and leave him behind, so she chose to stay a hatchling. Rynez is happy with her decision, and is friends with Selqua to this day.
