Suggested Characteristics
A hatchling is new to the world in some context. Whether they have been only just born, never left their hometown, or were unwilling spawned by magical means, this person has no experience or context (great for new players just learning the game themselves). The character should reflect that, either by being a literal child or having features that indicate why they are so unaware.
Here are some suggestions for their description:
A large scar wrapping around their cranium to suggest they have been given a new brain.
Being really short and having other childlike qualities.
A high pitched/young sounding voice.

Contacts
While the hatchling does not have knowledge of the world they are in, most folks (not aligned with evil forces) will take pity and aid them.
