Aurelia
While she had no intention of stopping, the ice underpaw certainly made it difficult to continue. And it was no natural occurrence, either. The children's small hands, gripping her fur as if for dear life, tugged at her balance. The laden cart, a heavy burden, did nothing but add to her struggle. It seemed as if every element conspired against her in that moment.
One of her paws slipped when a kid fell against her shoulder, but she caught herself - and the kid - in time before she went down. And everything with her.
Instead of battling the ice with her claws, Aurelia thrust forward, spreading her paws wide in an attempt to glide across the slick surface. The cart and the kids, now mere appendages to her determined stride, swayed and bounced with the movement.

And the sun, it does not cause us to grow
It is the rain that will strengthen your soul
