Tonight, my D&D party got the reveal of the true nature of the eladrin paladin that had been following them around - that she was, in fact, a young song dragon!
Unfortunately they had to leave her behind for now, but perhaps they'll meet her again.
I've been sitting on this character for over a year now, I'm so glad they finally got to see her for real.
And they even got a level up out of it! :D
Tessa, in her eladrin form, is a blessed-warrior paladin of Milil the god of song, sworn to the Oath of the Ancients.
Her spell list matches the general previous edition array of spells and abilities a song dragon should have - tongues, truesight, light, darkness, feather fall, blink, and cleric healing and trickery domain spells.

Oh that's easy: be the DM. XD
I've played Tessa outside this campaign, but she just has to be a quirky fey-elven palabard, the "hidden dragon" part could be weird flavor to how she reacts, but I wouldn't expect any DM to let me add the dragon form features, since they'd be fairly game breaking if you weren't also responsible for balancing the game.
As a PC, draconic bloodline sorcerer with some of the Fizbans feats, and/or dragonborn with some of the dragonborn lineage feats might make the best options for playable dragon. My rogue, Antir takes advantage of that, but since he's not reached level 8 yet I can't give him wings with his second feat.

If you're working with a DM willing to explore TTRPG outside of the constraints of D&D, you could always have a dragon in a superpower-centric campaign!
The main balance is: all player characters need to have roughly equivalent narrative power (it can be in different specialties) and the opposition must give them a sufficient challenge to be interesting and give them puzzles to solve and opportunities to show off.
If a setup can handle that, everyone can be Justice League, rather than random folks from a bar. :)
