(Magical Kitties Save the Day) "Thither" the Christmas Ice Dragon #CharacterCreationChallenge

There are always those minis that I paint up and then ask, "What am I going to do with this?" 

For a few of them I asked ChatGPT.  A lot of basic answers with generic systems, but the last one kickstarted my brain... and opened my wallet.

5. Magical Kitties Save the Day – Yes, really.

• Why it's great: This is a system about magical talking animals helping people while dealing with silly problems. It could easily be reskinned for a Tiny Christmas Dragon. Replace “Kitties” with “Miniature Winter Dragon,” give it a few powers (snow breath, twinkling wings, candy cane bite), and roll with it.

• Tone match: Kid-friendly, fun for quick storytelling.

Holy crap!  

A quick visit to Atlas Games netted me the pdf copy of the current rules, plus the fabulous 1st edition pdf for only five bucks more.

Talent:  "Can fly better than most birds!"

Thither not only flies, but their wings let them zip around the neighborhood rooftops and snowdrifts with style and agility far better than crawling/scurrying around.  Thither gets a bonus to movement or flight-based challenges.

Flaw:

"Gets distracted by shiny things and cocoa."
You're a tiny magical dragon, not a focused hero. If someone jingles a bell or makes cocoa… you're gone.

Human:

Ellie, 8, who thinks Thither is her Christmas Wish come true. Of course, no one else believes her that a tiny dragon is living on a ledge under the basement steps, but they humor her.  She's depressed that other kids in the neighborhood are bullies.  She's happy to stay inside inside and read, but Thither has other plans.

Home: Thither's lair is a cozy shoebox-sized nest under the steps, perfectly concealed by the piles of junk her parents have stowed away and never look at.  It's decorated with stolen tinsel and ornaments, and some candy cane packaging.
