As Kirin have been approved for character creations, I submit this supplement/addition/edit for Children of Summer lore.
As the Children of Summer lived and grew among their draconian neighbors, it stands to reason that as their obsession with them grew, their bodies changed to match. After many years, their bodies began to grow scaly though not nearly as tough as dragon's scales, it does make their bodies much more difficult to injure. Their teeth grew to a natural point, making it easier to tear the flesh of the small animals they hunt. Whether this is through cross breeding or the magical nature of the fringe's ley energy cannot be certain.
The kirin of the fringe sport short claws in place of hooves. As well as a prominently distinguishable, soft-scaled underbelly. From the top of their foreheads where the mane begins, a set of harder, sturdier scales form from temple to temple, down the muzzle to their nose. While not sparing anything in the way of scales, their bodies are not lacking in fur to keep them warm during the winter. Their manes tend to grow much further down the neck and onto the back, with fur still growing on longer, slightly more reptilian tails. Most kirin still grow a short layer of fur beneath their scales, and all kirin still grow feathers on their wings for flight. Do to their more land based nature, they aren't as adept at flight as Equestrian Pegasus. However, their wings tend to be much larger than their Equestrian counterparts, as their bodies have grown to be larger and sturdier.
While kirin do not have the glands needed to produce a flame as dragons do, they have discovered a magically based ability to create fire breath. Much in the same way that any pony has the potential to tap into their innermost magical reserves to increase their natural abilities. This technique is taught to the young of the flights and is seen as a natural part of them. Normal pegasus magic is available to them, though they rarely ever use it.
It is important to note that, while they are able to withstand much higher than normal temperatures, they are nowhere near being able to bath in lava as dragons do and any attempt to do so would prove extremely hazardous or fatal.

This seems sound, far as I can tell. Approved.
