EXTRASReason Behind Her Name: She absolutely
loves any kind of gingerbread, and her favorite thing to do during holidays is bake and decorate gingerbread cookies. They can be made in all kinds of shapes and decorated however, so the only limit is your imagination. They're great for any occasion!
Gif Explanation: Chocolate mousse is her second favorite sweet. She even knows how to make it (including triple chocolate).
Short Story: Fall and winter were Ginger's favorite seasons. The warm scent of baking gingerbread felt more special then, when the air outside was cold and crisp. She had spent the entire day baking fall themed cookies of all shapes and sizes for a get together that night where family and friends would decorate cookies, share stories and laugh. (Well, her human friend did most of the baking, but she helped!)
While they cooled on racks she chose and mixed as many colors of icing as she could think of. It was important to her that everyone had plenty of options to make their cookies look exactly the way they wanted. It was all about imagination and creativity.
As people arrived she greeted them all with enthusiasm and led them to the kitchen, where a cookie "workshop" had been set up. Everyone could choose their own shapes, colors and tools to decorate.
"Make them just the way you want," she encouraged as the others gathered round. "Have a lot of fun with it!"
Leaves, trees, pumpkins, cats and gingerbread people were passed around for decorating. Ginger had chosen a cat for her first cookie, but she wasn't making him very scary. He was slowly turning into a yellow tabby rather than a scary Halloween cat, but she thought if he was a real cat, she'd definitely name him Pumpkin.
One little Kiuii seemed to be having trouble with the leaf she'd chosen. There was no color at all yet, and she seemed sad as she stared down at it. Ginger frowned and stopped working on her cat.
"What's wrong?" she asked gently, looking down at the plain leaf. "Do you want a different cookie?"
"No," the little Kiuii replied. "I like my leaf, but I want to make it pink."
"What's wrong with that?" Ginger asked, not understanding.
"Who ever heard of a pink leaf?"
"There are pink leaves! But even if there weren't,
you can have a pink leaf. It's fun, because it's yours."
"Mine? I get to keep it?"
"Of course you do," she assured the little Kiuii with a smile. "It's your leaf."
The little one's expression brightened, and after a moment of thought she chose a light pink icing. Ginger helped her until she was enjoying herself, then finished her cat.
A lot of colorful cookies were made that night, in a house filled with love and laughter.
