In the twilight hush of the Winter Court, beneath tangles of frostbitten briars and sleeping thistle, a small guardian keeps steady watch. Brambletine, the Hedgehog, is know in lore as Thistle Among the Thaw, a patient keeper of the paths where lantern light and shadow meet. His quills catch snow light, Hist pace is humble, yet his courage turns aside the cold.
Where antler and wing cannot pass, he slips through bramble and stone to guide the lost toward hearth and safety. He remembers hidden ways, the scent of evergreen, the soft scratch of winter grasses. To those who listen he teaches that strength can be quiet and steadfast, like a thistle blooming against the frost.
