Every dragon deserves a name. Every name tells a story.
Every dragon arrives with a name already waiting. Whether you choose it yourself — a word that calls to your soul — or surrender to fate and let the oracle roll, the name that lands is the one your dragon was hatched to hear, spoken by you and no one else.
This is not a small thing. A fairy dragon perched upon your ear is not merely decoration. It is listening. When you call it by a name that fills you with delight, a name you cannot wait to say aloud, your dragon settles. It tucks its wings just so and makes itself at home, because it knows it has found the right keeper speaking the right word with the right intention.
Speak your dragon's name with joy. Speak it with reverence. Your dragon will know the difference.
But give your dragon a name that doesn't sit right in your mouth — one you wouldn't call across a room with a smile — and your dragon will sense that too. It will shift. It will fidget. It may even try to escape, slipping from your ear not because it doesn't fit, but because it doesn't yet belong to that name. This is not a flaw. This is your dragon communicating.
Roll again. Choose differently. Find the name that makes you genuinely happy to say it. When you land on the right one — and you will know when you do — your dragon will settle onto your ear as if it were sculpted for exactly that moment. Because in a way, it was.
You have two paths to the right name. You may choose deliberately, picking the word that already lives in your heart and that your dragon was perhaps born already knowing. Or you may let fate decide, rolling the dice until something clicks into place. Neither path is wrong. Both lead to the same place: a dragon that hears its name spoken with love, and responds by staying exactly where it belongs.
The bond between a fairy dragon and its keeper is a simple one. Say its name and mean it. Your dragon will do the rest.
Now that your dragon has a name and a keeper, there are a few things every responsible dragon owner should know. Your fairy dragon is a creature of considerable temperament and some very specific opinions about how it wishes to be treated.
💧 Keep It Dry — The First and Most Important Rule
Your dragon abhors water. It will not dissolve dramatically, but its colors will suffer and its spirit will be most displeased. This is a multi-medium creature finished in acrylics, spray paint, and adhesives — all of which have a complicated relationship with moisture. No liquids. No damp cloths. No liquid cleaners of any kind. Your dragon did not survive the hatching process to be wiped down with a wet sponge.
🧪 No Chemicals
Do not expose your dragon to solvents, sprays, or potions of unknown origin. It has opinions about this, and none of them are positive. A soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth is the only acceptable grooming instrument. Your dragon will tolerate this if administered gently and with appropriate reverence.
🔥 Heat Sensitivity
Your dragon was forged in a warm workshop but does not wish to return to those temperatures. It is crafted from PLA — a material that is durable, lightweight, and deeply uncomfortable above 50°C (122°F). Do not leave your dragon near radiators, space heaters, or inside a hot car. At these temperatures, its form may begin to shift. This is not magic. This is physics. The dragon would prefer you remember this.
✦ General Wellbeing
Store your dragon somewhere it will be seen and admired. It did not choose to be decorative — it chose you — and it expects to be acknowledged accordingly. Call it by its name. Keep it dry. Keep it cool. In return, it will perch faithfully on your ear and make you look considerably more interesting at any social gathering.
