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.

Hamay was a diplomatic genius off the bat. Born long before the mass genocide of frills, she spent her earliest years playing chess with a human general who had raised her as a pet. At the front line of the battlefield, she witnessed and even took part in many quick decisions that turned the war to and from their favor. She saw the natures of dragons and the humans who had raised them on both sides, and come to understand the raw decisions they would make in action versus the way they were in peacetime. However, dragons live long lives, and wars are but red specks in history. Of course the war ended, and Hamay decided she needed to see the world. When her 'father' died at the ripe age of 88, she left home to experience the world on her own. Twenty years later she found herself the leader of seven dragons that would grow to a group of over three-hundred and growing to this day. She has trained in diplomacy and combat to become a suave and powerful leader whose guidance is rarely questioned.
