•|| Wattys 2025 Shortlis ||• Ako si Xyca Myxsica Frijado- ang babaing mayroong lila at dilaw na mga mata. Maski ang kulay ng aking buhok ay naiiba dahil ito'y kulay puti na ang dulo ay ginto. Ang magkaroon ng natatanging kapangyarihan na naiiba sa iba ay hindi ko kailan man hiniling. Dahil ang pagkakaroon ng ganitong kakayahan ay kaakibat ng isang mabigat na responsibilidad. Gusto ko lang maging isang simpleng mamamayan at magkaroon ng simpleng buhay katulad ng iba. Ngunit dahil sa kapangyarihang aking taglay ang mundo ng Ethrejal ay pasan-pasan ko na. Dahil ako ang maalamat na mandirigma ng kaharian ng Arendelle.
