## History

Bear joined the server very early on and witnessed the server's unfortunate rocky beginnings, but settled in when the server gained stability a few weeks after its initial launch. They first settled in the swamp to the northwest of spawn, becoming one of the first to settle in the area. Later, several other members of Rhapsody followed suit, leading the swamp between the spawn point and Gremcity to be the most populated area directly surrounding spawn.

Their first house resembled a witch hut on stilts with very little floorspace, surrounded by a symmetrical garden protected by a moat and sweet berry bushes. Here, Bunny set their first home, considering it to be their house to some degree too, since (at the time) they were homeless, and they had already begun to consider Bear as family.

Later on, Bear moved primarily to a house directly by spawn which is shrouded in thorny red vines, and includes a garden at its front. It can be easily visited by walking directly behind the Spawn welcome center. Speculated to be out of boredom or due to a lack of proper space, Bear later constructed a much more elaborate house out in the drylands near the eastern world border, and they can usually be spotted there when they are online.

## Habits

Some (but certainly not all) notable things that Bear does include:

* Posting photos of pretty trees and plants.
* Letting other people know how useful sticks are.
* Offering folks martial arts, self defense, or fitness training.
* Admiring the moon.
* Pissing of transphobes in satisfying ways.
* Sharing super cool recipes.
* Will almost always tell anyone who informs them that they're going to bed to find comfort and rest.
* Calling people beans.
* Calling people "curse words" that really aren't curse words, like "snizno".

## Musehood

Bear achieved musehood not too long after joining the server, and mainly for their supportive nature towards Bunny and the staff, helping to keep the good vibe going even when early-on server maintenance was a huge pain in the staff's ass.

*"There has never been a single moment through the time that I've known Bear that they weren't fully there for me, no matter what I was going through. I don't think I would be as patient or as kind to myself without them, and I'm sure that other members of the server could say similar things about the effect they've had by being here with us. Bear is someone who understands the need for human compassion, and they really radiate that sentiment. It spreads, and I think they're a good role model. I hope I can be as good of an influence on others as they have been for me." -Dyatlov/Bunny* on the true reason for Bear's musehood.
