Art style: Children's Book.
A minute forest mouse with incredibly soft, charcoal-grey fur that features subtle white patches around his underbelly. He has large, expressive hazel eyes filled with a mixture of fear and determination. His ears are oversized and translucent, showing fine pink veins when backlit. He wears a tiny, weathered scarf fashioned from a single strip of frayed, tan burlap. His whiskers are long and delicate, often dusted with microscopic ice crystals. He has small, nimble pink paws with tiny claws, and a long, slender tail that curls slightly at the tip. His posture is low to the ground but energetic, showing a scrappy, survivalist spirit amidst a harsh winter environment, standing against a backdrop of towering, frost-covered pine needles.
