Mapletti by SweetySpiced on DeviantArt
Mapletti is a little forest secret that smells faintly of warmth and sugar.They appear quietly after the first snowfall, curled beneath evergreen branches where the sap still runs sweet. Mapletti’s fur is soft like fresh snow, but touched with amber tones that glisten as if sunlight got caught and never quite left. Their ears drip golden syrup instead of melting, slow and patient, as though winter itself decided to be kind.Mapletti moves carefully, leaving tiny sticky footprints that sparkle before fading away. They like to sit still and listen to the forest breathe, watching snow settle on their paws while the world glows in soft colors behind them. Birds are not afraid of Mapletti. Neither are tired travelers. There is something gentle about them that makes everything feel safe.If you ever find a warm patch of snow that smells like maple and comfort, Mapletti has probably been there recently, resting, waiting, and sweetening the cold just a little.
