Nobody really remembers how long ago New Guy moved to town - but the name stuck, and now it’s just part of who he is. 

He’s not the loudest or the silliest bear, but he’s one of the kindest. Always ready with a big, warm hug, New Guy has a way of making everyone feel calm and cared for - without needing to say very much at all.

He’s a great listener, and he always seems to know when something’s on a friend’s mind.  When he’s not with the others, you’ll often find him out in the woods with a little notebook, quietly birdwatching.  He knows all the birds by name and gets especially excited when he spots a rare one (though he usually just smiles and quietly writes it down).

New Guy might be soft-spoken, but his presence is felt everywhere - whether he’s gently joining a picnic, helping someone without being asked, or sharing his binoculars so a friend can spot a robin too.  He reminds everyone that you don’t have to be loud to be really important.
