Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. Despite being as black as outer space, it has a few bright patterns on it.

And look! It has grown wings and its scales have gained beautiful patterns. 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.

Hotaru has a reputation for being a little on the greedy side as well as cold, harsh, and slightly unpleasant. Hopefully she will find a hatchling friend though admittedly...one might pity whomever that might be. Her main activities include sleeping, eating, and making fun of Luca-pyon. They get along...interestingly.
