Age 1, 10: the Rén Chén Decade

In the first decade of life, Roadrunner moved through a chapter called Coming of Age, marked by the Water element over Dragon, a force known in the Four Pillars tradition as Seven Killings, pressure and challenge that tests a person's mettle. This was a formative time when Fire, their core nature, had to learn resilience against opposing currents; the Water element that colored this decade was taboo for their chart, meaning the universe asked them to work harder, to find their footing in conditions that didn't come naturally. Rather than smooth development, Roadrunner likely faced early demands that required them to mature beyond what their years might have suggested, to stand firm in who they were even when circumstances pushed back. The Dragon branch itself carried no direct clash with their natal chart, which offered a subtle steadiness beneath the surface turbulence. Looking back now, those ten years probably shaped a capacity in Roadrunner to endure, to find their own strength not through ease but through meeting what came their way.
