## **Gallery Page · Quotes Page**

**Bearclaw**, also known as **Isebel Viljoen** is a South African wildlife conservationist and animal rights activist who created her own set of bear claws to protect her animals from poachers in Rangeni National Reserve. She is good friends with Andrej.

## Appearance

Bearclaw is a slim and stealthy woman who is seen leaping around the battlefield, slipping away from danger in an instant. She wears a brown, form-fitting body suit that grants her dexterous movement. Equipped on each hand is two brown gauntlets that wrap around her fingers, fitted with bear-like claws. Up her left and right leg is a thick black stripe. Across her chest is a piece of metal armor with the face of a fierce bear melded into it. Her entire back and shoulders are covered by armor as well. Her armor is laden with scratch marks and bullet holes.

## Personality

Bearclaw, upon first meeting her, appears to be cold; hardened by her new career of poacher-hunting and witnessing the deaths of her animals every day. After a little bit of time, Bearclaw opens up and is bubbly and sarcastic, often comparing her strength to her peers. She dislikes Talon and will fight, even die, to defend animals against them.

## History

Isebel Viljoen grew up in Rangeni, South Africa on her father's grassland range. She spent several hours of her childhood, adolescence, and half of her adulthood raising, observing, and nurturing wild animals like lions, zebra, hyena and more. The Viljoen Range didn't have poaching problems until Isebel turned 24, when one of her beloved lions were killed by a poacher in front of her eyes. She rushed into her Jeep and hunted the poacher down. She slammed into the poacher's vehicle and made them crash, leaving them stunned so she could call the police. From that day forward, Isebel Viljoen knew she had to protect her family's range.

Isebel began working tirelessly on prototype gauntlets engineered off of a bear's claw.
