Bio:
Born to one of the largest families in Sylvania, Bear was number four out of a total of nine children. His mother a hunter, father a lumberjack, both occupied for long hours during the day, the children were mostly left to fend for themselves, and this is how Bear learned to be the trouble-maker he is today. The Frazier offspring were not neglected, but life was tough in Sylvania, and adults were expected to work as much as they could to provide for not only their own families, but for the clan entirely. As they grew, and the house filled, the siblings became a unit within themselves, even at a young age, they became self sufficient, only relying on their parents to bring food home in the evenings.
Bear was born a trickster, forever tormenting his siblings, using his slight stature to hide in small spaces, jump scaring, pranking and just completely infuriating every single one of them. The family is close, each member contributing something essential so that the wheels keep spinning. Birdie took care of the cooking, Lynx the laundry, Kitty the bathrooms, and so on. Bear has two roles, provide the entertainment, a self-appointed job, even if it’s not always welcomed-- but more importantly, as he has gotten older, he has joined his mother on some of her hunting adventures.
On their first trip out, Bear showed instant skill, and the more he hunted, the more this became apparent to the entire clan as a whole. He took after his mother, she was one of the best in the clan. He never missed, not once, his aim impeccable, and with that knowledge known to every person in Sylvania, it was almost written in stone that they would send him to Nova as a part of the first 50 when it all came about. His family are devastated, because as annoying as he might be, he’s part of that spinning wheel, and they fear everything might just crumble in his absence.
Bear is in two minds about leaving his family, he is used to the hustle and bustle of his cramped house, used to fighting for the bathroom in the morning, used to rooting through his brother’s drawers for clean underwear to wear. He is also excited, even though he’d never admit it, he’s excited that he was chosen, that his talents are being rewarded, he’s excited for change, excited for freedom, excited to be someone other than the seventh Frazier.
Although the family were upset that Bear was leaving, and he upset to leave them-- they understood the urgency of it all, they feared a second wave more than anything else, and they were happy to contribute to this new life being built, mostly in hope that they would follow him to Nova sooner rather than later. The Frazier’s were quite loyal to their clan, and they had always embedded this into their children, so Bear will have some reservations to others outside of Sylvania.
Difficult might be the best word to describe Bear, because trying to pick just one identifying word was difficult in itself. He is complex, kind, caring and smart on the one hand, but also conniving, roguish and impulsive on the other. Most find him hard to read, and other than people being in awe of his gift, he doesn’t have many friends.
