My design for this year's Annielender event! ❤

It’s a cold Winter day. Beautiful, but indeed very chilly.
You couldn’t help yourself, you wanted to enjoy the newly fallen snow. So, you decided to go on a walk through the woods.  But… as the day went on, the snow
grew deeper, and you realize you’re not as prepared as you thought you were-you’re freezing!
Stopping to take a break, you notice something coming towards you. Those horns.. a deer…? No, those antlers are too large to be any ordinary deer! The figure comes closer… a small girl appears through the snowfall. A small girl, with gigantic antlers! She reaches into her bag, pulls out a blanket, and hands it to me with a smile. Her smile alone seemed to be radiating warmth. Thankful, I take it and wrap it around my icy body. It’s so warm, and has a faintly sweet scent to it-one of cinnamon and sugar. You look up to thank her, but she was already gone.
Though, her sweet scent remains. Along with the embracing warmth of the crimson blanket she had gifted to you.

Ahhh, I’m so happy to be a part of Annielender once again!
As soon as I heard the event was drink-themed, I immediately knew that I wanted to do hot (caramel) apple cider! I love how it still has the reminiscent taste of autumn from the cinnamon, but also has the warmth of a cozy winter fire. Because of this, I tried my best to make her have a cozy feel, covered in layers of soft blanket-like fabrics and fluff wherever I could place it... I also thought it would be fun to try to decorate the antlers to look like a christmas tree- her hair acting as garland and the apples as ornaments.

I hope she is able to warm the heart of her owner! Also thank you to Yamio for inviting me to this event, I had a lot of fun! It’s always an absolute pleasure getting to work with her and everyone in the Anniverse community! ❤

This design has already been claimed, but more info about her and the
event can be found over on Yamio's post! ❤
