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.

Dis Ironfoot loathes that she is always treated like a hatchling and is never given important duties. Instead, she is used to teach adult dragons how to raise hatchlings. She feels that position is beneath her and can't wait until she can find something that will prove to her clan mates that she is not a child.
