Name:Choco Gender: Male Pronouns: He/him LORE: Choco was born beneath the shimmering auroras of the Arctic Circle, a scrappy puppy with a coat as deep as midnight chocolate and a spirit as bright as the Northern Lights. Orphaned during a blizzard, he as found shivering beneath Santa's sleigh shed by Mrs. Claus, who wrapped him I a festive red-and-green knitted blanket. Recognizing his loyalty and playful energy, she named him "Choco" for his rich, velvety fur-and his instant fondness for the hot chocolate she warmed for him (this dog can eat chocolate :D). Santa, ever the giver of second chances, welcomed him into the North Pole as his official "Sleigh Team Mascot," a title Choco wore with pride... even if it came with its challenges... From puppyhood, Choco idolized the reindeer, especially Rudolph. While the reindeer soared through the skies delivering gifts, Choco contented himself with trailing behind them during training, barking encouragement, and stealing glances at Rudolph's iconic red nose. "Someday," he'd whisper, "I'll be as brave as you." The reindeer chuckled at his antics but never humored his dreams of flight-after all, dogs couldn't fly. Choco, however, refused to let that dim his ambition. He was going to fly one day.. Relationships: Santa Claus: More than a master, Santa is Choco's mentor and surrogate father. He taught Choco the values of generosity and grit, often saying, "You don't need to be a reindeer to make a difference, Choco. You just need a big heart" Mrs. Claus: His maternal figure, she spoils him with gingerbread treats and storytelling sessions by the fire. She's the one who calmed his insecurities, whispering, "The world needs dogs like you, Choco. Dogs who lead with love."
