Profile #3 Chune

Dressed in his magnificent tartan jumpsuit, Chune is a character with a long and colourful back-story. Not quite as colourful as the jumpsuit, but that would be a tall order of sickly proportions. Some wonder if the loudness of Chune’s attire is so to make up for his lack of a voice. It is not known if he can talk, just that he doesn’t.

In his school days Chune was a talented athlete and gymnast. He went on to join a circus troupe and travelled as the most daring trapeze artist in the business. Not necessarily the best, but definitely the most daring. After many years on the road, tragedy stuck when Chune was diagnosed with Ehltar Tanlos; an unstable stuffing condition, which his particular breed of bear is prone to. It weakens the joints and rendered him unable to continue performing.

For a brief spell he turned to tea; a much frowned upon addictive drink that mats bears fur and stains it a nasty shade of brown. In an attempt to turn his life around and give back to the community he joined a local street sweeping group run by a bear named Big Bluey. It was a positive turning point in his life, until Big Bluey decided he wanted to take over the world, and forced Chune under threat of death to stay and work for him as a hench-bear.

However, Chune plays a significant role in keeping Bluey in check. He has a calming influence over him due to their long friendship. Without Chune remaining where he is the world may be a much more dangerous place. Hopefully, one day, he might convince Bluey to give up his aspirations of world domination.

Chune’s sunny disposition gives him a youthful appearance, despite being one of the eldest bears. There are many more facets to his life; too many for this brief profile.
