There’s a character in the books called Nathan Nutcracker and I wanted to make a design for him because I think Cedar deserves a friend who can relate to her

”#gave him white hair cause the nutcracker prince has a cotton beard I wasn’t brave enough to give him a beard, #his outfit is meant to look like a scout uniform because I wanted it to have the same vibes as a soldier uniform but like younger, #I have a headcanon that because nutcracker dolls aren’t really made to move around his movements are rigid and he’s not very articulated, #cedar on the other hand has very fluid movement but has trouble balancing and staying upright because she’s a marionette made for strings, #I wonder if nate was made a nutcracker or was a human transformed into a nutcracker like in the original story, #cause I kinda get the vibe that it’s the former, #little fun fact the nutcracker ballet is an adaptation of a novella-fairy tale, #so even though he’s probably based on the ballet version he still fits the fairy tale theme, #I’m pretty sure nate is supposed to be really small in the books but I forgot so he’s just a short king here, #also I think he’d have a pet wind-up toy mouse called kingsley”
