#gave him white hair cause the nutcracker prince has a cotton beard I wasn’t brave enough to give him a beard #his outfit is meant to look like a scout uniform because I wanted it to have the same vibes as a soldier uniform but like younger #I have a headcanon that because nutcracker dolls aren’t really made to move around his movements are rigid and he’s not very articulated #cedar on the other hand has very fluid movement but has trouble balancing and staying upright because she’s a marionette made for strings #I wonder if nate was made a nutcracker or was a human transformed into a nutcracker like in the original story #cause I kinda get the vibe that it’s the former #little fun fact the nutcracker ballet is an adaptation of a novella-fairy tale #so even though he’s probably based on the ballet version he still fits the fairy tale theme #I’m pretty sure nate is supposed to be really small in the books but I forgot so he’s just a short king here #also I think he’d have a pet wind-up toy mouse called kingsley #rotomart #ever after high #eah #nathan nutcracker #nate nutcracker #cedar wood #eah nathan #eah nate #eah cedar #cedar ever after high #nate ever after high #nathan ever after high #also mouscedes cameo #pinocchio #the adventures of pinocchio #the nutcracker #the nutcracker and the mouse king #rotomart eah
