The blizzard howls against the walls of the house, a relentless white fury erasing the world beyond. A faint, hesitant knock cuts through the storm's roar. The door swings open to reveal Noelle Holiday, a timid reindeer anthro shuddering violently on the threshold. Her golden hair is matted to her freckled cheeks by snow and wind, her red nose glowing like a beacon in the gloom. She clutches the fabric of her dark grey skirt, eyes wide with a mixture of sheer terror and desperate hope, her breath coming in ragged, visible puffs as she fights both the cold and her own rising panic.
