Blind Dragon

I wanted Hipita to be visually impaired, but I realized as I was building her character that a challenge in the vision senses was going to be pretty profound among the dragons. Not that being visually impaired among humans isn’t tough, it is. However being a dragon with poor eye sight is maybe a little more challenging. Hipita deals with it very competently. In later books there are discussions of corrective devises, but know that a real vision problem among dragons is anything that limits independent flight.

After being known in Dima’s Territory as the blind dragon for almost 50 cycles, the chance to be something else, something more, blows Hipita away. She needs some time to think about that, beyond the dream of a mate and participation of her own, this is huge. The move from dependent to independent is interesting as she makes the transition.
