From 2020:

One of the fun things about Patreon is that it allows me the time to play with character designs. I made bears based off of fruits, gave them names and tried to convey their personalities. The initial 4 bears are based on:
The Misfit Strawberry - Ichigo
The Sweet Raspberry - Raz
The Serious Blue Berry - Blue
The Energetic Goji Berry - Goji

This then turned into if they were a series, who would the elders be because as you might know there is "Elderberry" - so we made just that, the Elderberry and then as I LOVE Landlady from Kung Fu Hustle, Granberry is my tribute to [url=]Yuen Qiu (Kung Fu Hustle)[/url].

The story turned into everyone starts off as a seedling known as a Bearling. Bearlings are hard to distinguish what you'll turn into, and when they're ready to start their Beary transformation they turn into a Kinderpoof. Poofs are our version of toddlers, and once they grow large enough drop their baby down fluff and you can finally see what the Beary turns into.
