This little elf is covered with the strongest metal found around Santa's workshop. It is equipped with a specially forged candy cane to slice through enemies that threaten the entire workshop. With extra ornament-grenades, it can fend off many who wish to stand against Santa and his gift-making abilities.

Guardian Elves are specially trained since youth. From a very young age, they begin prepare themselves. They are separated from their other elven brothers, who themselves get ready to become helpers, whether they attend Reindeer, Santa's personal assistant, or help along the lines of productions.

These warriors begin by training with a wee candy cane, sparring with their trainers, who were veterans of the service. From there, they learn to stay obedient with drills and other practices.

At teenage years, they begin higher training with a larger cane and learn to ride a reindeer into battle. They choose a reindeer carefully, for they will most likely be partners for life. They also begin to study important academic courses, such as mathematics and English.

Once they reach age 18, they can become knighted by the one and only Santa. After this happens, they are part of the Workshop's guard. They patrol the toy-producing building with great discipline and watch every move in case of danger.

So this is my Contest entry for the December Santa's Workshop Contest. I'm not entirely proud of it, but you can be sure there will be many updates in the future. Maybe I will even create a brand new skin for the contest. Only time will tell.
