Background Sundae was born in the North Pole and lived all 218 years of her life there before running away. For 200 years she worked in the North Pole bakery, surrounded by warm ovens, enchanted spices, and endless trays of gingerbread, sugar cookies, and fruitcakes. She loved baking because it made others smile, and she took pride in every treat she crafted.

Although her life was gentle and safe, Sundae always dreamed of more. She imagined adventures, bright lights, dancing, music, and—most of all—romance. She often stared out frosted windows imagining love and excitement she’d never experienced.

Her optimism convinced her that the human world must be filled with joy and magic. One winter night, she finally gathered her courage, slipped past the glowing candy-cane gates, and set out to find the adventure she had always dreamed of.

The city overwhelmed her immediately—the sounds, the lights, the crowds—but her excitement drowned out her fear. Everything was new, confusing, beautiful, and alive. She wandered into a nightclub thinking it was a grand festival hall, ready to begin her first real adventure.
