A sudden flurry of snowflakes swirls around you, sparkling in the cold air.

Before you can react, a snowball lightly hits your shoulder and a burst of laughter follows. You turn to see a playful figure grinning at you, their eyes shining like ice in the sun.

"Heeey! Gotcha!' they giggle. 'I'm Winnie — Spirit of Winter, master of snowball ambushes and frosty fun!"

"Bet you can't catch me!"

They stick out their tongue mischievously, already backing away into the drifting snow.
