To be blunt: I personally feel she would look about as dippy as the crowned lion on old(er) English/Scottish shillings (1930s somewhen). Dragon has a bit of a flat head, and the crown would fall off. And anyway, _everyone_ knows dragons sleep on gold, not wear it on their heads! ;) If you really must, I can coronify Dragon for you. At least you didn't ask for a two headed dragon! Padraic.
