Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It perfectly depicts autumn 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.

The Velvet Sword is an upscale black market dragon stable owned by a mysterious mage family residing in a remote stormy mountain range.

Never aging because of an everlasting spell of youth, Leaf Dancer spends his days playing with the other hatchlings and being displayed to his Keepers' clientele. The older Autumn dragons, Harvest Red and Umber Burnt, have adopted him as their child while his adopted uncle,Spiral Storm gives him rides in his mouth as he flies.

Leaf Dancer doesn't just play in the autumn leaves, he eats them because he likes eating crunchy things. As such, the hatchlings known as Salamandra and Skin Shame mockingly call him, Debris Eater.
