Wake up, wake up; it's Springtime for polar bears.

[chillybearbark]

It had been what felt like ages to Bark since the last time he set foot on campus of Sumabura. Some of the most memorable times of his life happened here, in these very buildings, on this very grass. It only felt natural that when the time came for him to leave home again, he return to school and complete his education, hopefully alongside some old friends. It seemed timing was in his favor also since Spring weather was coming into effect here soon. He never could get used to the brisk, miserable snowy weather of the Aurora Icefield.

He had his usual surly scowl on his face as he walked along, backpack in hand. Socializing was never his strongpoint, and the slew of unfamiliar faces was daunting to him. It was natural, he figured, that old friends would move on and graduate while he was away, but he hoped he'd run into at least one old acquaintance before arriving at the main office.

For those who don't know him or know of him, Bark the Polar Bear is a burly, large but kind of quiet presence, yet he holds a certain air of gentleness about him. Maybe you could help him. He seems to know where he's going but confused about things all the same. Perhaps you could answer his questions, or just say hi. He might actually like that.

Also, if your character is small, weak, or in need of help, he just might offer to carry that heavy bookbag or open that stuck locker for you.
