Cepheia from Infernulls, a light blue woman normally in a jester outfit, instead wearing a Santa outfit and holding a sack over her shoulder, waving to the camera. Lamya, the main character of Infernulls, in an reindeer outfit and looking like she's done with everything. A widget, a round robot with a red eye and four stubby legs, wearing a santa hat and elf ears, holding a present next to her. Art by Ishida1694 Characters created and novel wrote by Zeggy
