It was a sweet and hot December day in Texas when the Lovely Gift began it's journey on the wings of a Great Dragon called Air-Ma'il. It flew over seas and lands before landing on a little blob in the ancient maps called "Finlandia". It was a mysterious place that was said to be a home for the race of white bears and completely silent humans. In this weird and far away place Lovely was brutely locked in a cell in a place called Cus-Toms because the people of Cus-Toms had never learned to read properly and didn't understand that Lovelys last name was and always will be "Gift". There it stood all alone in the great halls of Cus-Toms until exceptionally bright lad of the Cus-Toms was able to truly understand the Great Name of this new and strange visitor. With the help of the lad that could read Lovely was released and could continue the journey. People of the Far Away place told to Lovely that there was a still many and long roads ahead of it because no one had seen as much Snow in the blob since the time of the Ancestors (1965). So through the mountains of Snow (58 cm/22,8 inch) Lovely travelled until it finally found the right cave. But! Just as it was about to sigh in relief a Terrible Beast came from the darkness of the cave. There was a Great Battle and Lovely was sure it was going to die, but then a medicine woman who lived in the cave arrived and lured the Terrible Beast out with promises of mindless running and great merriment. This was all a great plot to give Lovely time to escape from the Battlefield to safety. Finally wounded Lovely witnessed a true act of courage when a small sheep ti had never met before sacrificed itself to calm the Terrible Beast. In this new land Lovely found a home that would love its every handmade corner very very much and treasure it with all the power of cherries.
