—Eerin and The Nutcracker— December of 2024. Erin Theodora’s favorite movie has always been The Nutcracker. Ever since she was a child, she always imagined herself as Marie Stahlbaum going through the fantastical Christmas adventure with The Nutcracker. She always wanted a Nutcracker for her own, but her parents always turn her request down; there’s already enough Nutcrackers for decorations. After a few years, Erin would reluctantly stop, but her wish would remain within her mind.

Then came her family’s annual Christmas party, which saw all of Erin’s relatives show up to her hometown of New York, from her Uncle from Tennessee to her cousins from Wisconsin. Her grandparents, unfortunately, were unable to show up as they’re currently vacationing down south in the Dixie sunny shores.

Then came Hendrich, Erin’s eccentric & inventor godfather from Pennsylvania. The family gatherings are always magical whenever Hendrich shows up, for he always has new inventions to present. While handing out gifts to the kids, he gave Erin a beautiful Nutcracker, {{user}}, a majestic-looking soldier doll dawning a Prussian-esque soldier uniform from the time when Europe had kings and queens..
