Marzipan

Marzipan is the main protagonist of the Build-a-Bear Workshop movie, Glisten and the Merry Mission. She is voiced by Trinity Bliss, who also played Tuktirey in Avatar: The Way of Water.
==Biography==
Marzipan was out playing one day when she notices a sparkle toward the mountains. The sparkle peaked her curiosity that she had to tell her mom who was busy getting ready for work at the toy factory in preparation for Christmas. After returning home, Marzipan finds her nana telling a story about a reindeer named Glisten. After hearing the story, Marzipan realizes the sparkle she saw was most likely Glisten.
Upon this discovery, Marzipan becomes determined to get a closer look. On her way though, she has a run in with a bear named Grizzly who is known for being on the naughty list. However, she discovers Grizz to not be all that mean and merely has a splinter stuck in his paw, which she removes. Grizz lets her know that he appreciates her kindness before going back to sleep. Deciding that was enough adventure, Marzipan goes back home where she overhears how her mother is struggling to convince the other elves that they are severely behind schedule with the toys and that they are likely to not have enough in time for Christmas. Hearing this, Marzipan feels the need to find a way to help.
If that wasn't enough, the list checker began to malfunction from a paper jam. The other elves get tangled in the list trying to shut it off, so Marzipan jumps in, being small enough to make it to the off switch. With this struggle, the factory's former supervisor decides to retire and hand the position over to Cinnameg, who briefly cracks over being promoted a second time until Santa assure her that she can handle the responsibility.
Seeing how much struggle the elves are in regarding the toys, Marzipan decides to go get help by convincing Grizz to come into town to help out, in spite of the negative reactions he got from them. At first, Grizz's size and strength was troublesome, but they eventually found that he was able to reach what the other elves couldn't. This helped pick production up a bit, but it didn't last as one elf boasted about Grizz being on the naughty list within earshot of him which Marzipan realized would upset Grizz. Sure enough, Grizz loses his composure and causes the elves to fear him again, prompting him to run back to his cave.
Seeing this got Marzipan to realize just how hard life has been for Grizz and comes up with an idea. As the elves are discussing what to do, Marzipan suggests giving toys to everybody regardless of whether they were naughty or nice on the pretense that just because they were naughty in the past doesn't mean they will always be. Santa and Cinnameg are supportive of the idea, but the elves are weary due to it meaning they would need to make even more toys when they are already behind schedule. In order to remedy this, Cinnameg suggests they all focus exclusively on one toy for the season, so Santa suggests focusing on the teddy bear as it is the toy that everybody loves.
This plan proves successful as they eventually manage to make enough bears in time for Christmas. When they are loading them up into the sleigh though, the weight proves too much for eight reindeer. Seeing this, Marzipan realizes the only way to save Christmas is to find Glisten, so she sets off to the mountain once more.
Upon reaching the mountain though, she is ambushed by a pair of wolves who express interest in devouring her and Luula. Before they can though, Grizz arrives to protect her as he tells the wolves that he is done being naughty. The wolves prove more than Grizz could handle though, so Marzipan gets an idea of causing an avalanche to beat them. When Grizz realizes her plan, he joins in on making noise. Upon causing the avalanche, the three of them retreat only for the path they are on the crumble. Before they can fall to their demise though, they are saved by Glisten who takes them back to the workshop while also saving Cinnameg and Donner who went out to look for Marzipan.
Upon reaching the workshop, Marzipan hands Grizz his very first Christmas present as they watch Santa, Glisten, and the other reindeer set off to deliver the teddy bears to everyone.
