Show breath in the cold, one puff per exhale, faster when the character panics

Visible breath says cold and fear without a word. The usual trap is a puff on a fixed timer that does not match the chest, or one that jumps whenever the breathing speeds up. Here is how to keep every puff tied to a breath, so a sudden fright speeds it up smoothly.

Why this works

Breath is a rhythm, and a rhythm stays smooth only if you keep track of where in the cycle you are and move on from there. Then the pace can change at any moment without a hiccup in the chest or the puffs.

When not to use it

It adds little in warm settings or in a game seen from far away, where a puff is too small to notice. There a simple sound or a chest movement tells the same story at lower cost.
