No, the character has a thing for attacking otters. She did it when she was a kid. As far as the bear thing, I don't think it would bother anyone too much. If it does, I guess just change it back.
As my experiences dictate, I pin first, ask questions later. I won't have another species take away what I've earned. As white Moon likes to spout sometimes. xD
Sorry if she seems rather mean, she's bred to be heartless. It's her thing. She's also really protective and gullible. Try to pull a prank, see what happens. ~winks~
