Aww... It’s a cute baby dragon. It’s brightly colored and chirps quite often.

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.

Anthea is named, just like her elder, Nelke, after a flower. But this name is not very fitting for her at all. Anthea enjoys going outside, getting dirty, exploring, and learning. She's extremely intelligent, and has a passion for the science of Astronomy. She hopes to one day discover a planet that breeds life.
