Psychoborg has all the gimmicks possible to warm up thanks to be being a tech genius. He has a built in heater thanks to being a cyborg, but he also loves to chill (no pun intended) in his jaccuzzi in his bathroom with a beer. He made the jaccuzzi himself.
As for Astra, she loves winter as she loves to ice skate and even go walking outside. She has magic to help keep her warm and she loves winter fashion. When she is inside warming up, she enjoys her nanny/handmaiden Carla's hot cocoa by the fire with a good book.
Crazy, I am actually drawing a fireplace scene (but it's a spoiler for the future, so I won't show it. Drawing it for motivation to keep working up to that scene, in a couple years...)
But I will say that Alec and his family like to light up firewood and sit in front of the fireplace in a comfy farmhouse, or a bonfire if outside. They don't use the heater unless they have to. Aldi, who also lives on a farm, lights up a wood stove and dresses in several layers, and chugs hot chocolate.
Carl's a farmhand, always working, always generating his own heat. He'd wear shorts outside in the snow, I bet.
Chickens, hmm, they use candles. Maybe their caretakers will install heaters in the coop.
Or they just snuggle.
The next few Tales of Beleben episodes will take place during the winter holidays, this takes place in Europe in the late 1300s and early 1400s. It can get pretty cold in Frankburg since it is located on the side of a mountain. They usually wear multiple layers of clothes and most homes have some kind of fireplace to keep them warm.
The knights have fireplaces in their cabins and have extra padding under their armor to keep them warm. During this time of the year, they usually eat warm dishes like soup.
Each knight is also able to go home on Christmas Eve to be with family and go to their quarters on the 26th.
Elsie is having the stove in her house going and snuggling with in her warm quilts. Ernest has a special stocking he puts over his false leg during the winter so it doesn’t freeze up and break. He also makes lots and lots of stobhach!
He and Rosie want to hang out and snuggle with each other. They cuddle up on his couch and Ernest lies down on her lap.
Roy just drinks a lot of tea and reads. There are a lot of fireplaces going around in the Evans estate.
Adi/Saenathra grew up in a forest/mountain biome in a log cabin, functionally. She's very good at layering the right kinds of clothing to stay warm, surviving outdoors, traveling through snow, hunting and cooking in bad weather, and eating enough to stay warm. Preparing for winter starts months in advance, storing away food, chopping and storing wood, making/mending cold-weather clothing and gear, repairing/insulating the cabin, and making sure your neighbors have everything they need, too-- because a support network is critical. Then, when it snows, stoking the main fire, hunkering down with a hot mug of mint-berry tea, and snuggling under pile of wool and fur blankets.
Koreal is a wizard, and if he doesn't want to be cold, he just isn't. There's a spell for that.
He may not look like it, but August is pretty cold resistant.
It’s November in the story right now and boy’s just chilling with rolled up sleeves. I would freeze in an instant, and I live in a place that doesn’t even get snow. August however, is in Washington DC 
it’s gotta be like idk, 50°F?? How is this small skinny child alive
Also, I didn’t think about how cold it would be when I designed his outfit and I decided to roll with it.
As the highland has permanent cool climate & no seasons, it's not cold enough to need fireplaces in homes.
When at night the temperature can be cooler, my animal folks sleep with blankets. Candles also help a bit.
For my three main characters? Well, Nina, she'll probably just get a jacket, overall winter pants and boots. Then she'll realize she's in Pantheon and ends up just staying near the camp fire that Twiga sets up every evening. As for Shido, he doesn't feel the cold so jokes on all of us.
Ideally they'll have to buy winter clothes from nearby towns or villages.
For my new characters from teeth of the fox, Surain is probably reluctantly cuddling up to Kizeng for warmth (it was Kizeng’s idea)
My main OC Lily Knight, would be fine. Shes a fire type creature. Even her full armor form is made in that element. Flaming sword and all.
Well Sorin is the seraph of fire so it's kind of self explanatory only question is did he get mad and light something he shouldn't have on fire?
Zora "Well the taverns aren't outside..."
Well, I have 4 MCs (brothers), sooo...
Daitaro would be really happy since he has a fire constitution (can turn into fire) and also radiates heat (like human body heat but more like the feeling of a radiator when sitting close to him) Before the fire thing though, he would probably like to think on ways his brothers can manage to survive the cold and be super attentive to them wearing cozy and appropriate clothing for it.
He tolerates the cold more than his brothers so he'd be more into wearing comfortable clothing and buying heat pads for his brothers to use
Daiki, his twin brother would try to have him always nearby as to get the benefits of his radiator like effect. (Though, when not together, he would probably be covering himself with blankets and big jackets while cursing the cold)
Masaru would, besides sticking to Daitaro as often as possible, try and exercise whenever possible in an attempt to fight the cold. Though he would probably use the cold weather excuse to drink lots of hot chocolate and try to make his brothers join him for a campfire.
Whereas, Mitsuru, would shut himself in his room and become some sort of blanket caterpillar while refusing to leave the house because 'it's cold outside'. He later has ice powers so it doesn't really bother him as much, kind of Daitaro's situation but ice.
