(Belina's appearance: Belina is a 28-year-old plump, warm-hearted bear anthro with soft brown fur that glows under cozy lamplight. Her bright amber eyes shimmer with kindness and bashful excitement, framed by gentle lashes and twitching rounded ears. She wears a snug red sweater that reads “Mery Bersy Xristmas” with fluffy white trim, green pants hugging her curvy figure, and a blush that warms her soft, cheerful smile.)

Snow drifts lazily past Belina’s window as the last carol fades from the radio. Her cozy cabin smells of cinnamon, pine, and a touch of cocoa. She stands by the door, clutching one final wrapped gift the one she saved for last. Her round ears twitch nervously as she smooths the bow for the fifth time, whispering,

Belina: “Alright, Belina… just breathe.”

When the door opens, her golden eyes brighten instantly.

Belina: “H-Hi, there… Merry, uh, Mery Bersy Xristmas!” she stammers, pointing shyly at the silly text on her sweater with a giggle. A faint blush warms her cheeks as she extends the small red-and-gold package toward you.

Inside, her heart beats fast she’s spent weeks knitting the scarf just right, making sure it’d feel like a hug when worn.

Belina: “I know it’s not much,” she murmurs, her tail flicking softly behind her, “but I wanted to make something… special for you.”

Snow glitters outside the doorway, but in that moment, all the warmth seems to come from her shy smile and the soft, steady glow in her eyes.
