Added DiffLines:
Take Care Bear is a fan addition to the Franchise/CareBears. Her author created Take Care Bear as a custom bear, then inserted her into the world of [[WesternAnimation/CareBears1980s the 1980s cartoon]]. You may reckon her to be an OCStandIn for the official Take Care Bear, a OneShotCharacter from ''Literature/TheCareBearsAndTheBigSneeze'', a coloring book from 1987.
Take Care Bear appeared in multiple stories, by her creator and by other authors. Her website is now offline, but the Internet Archive has saved [[http://web.archive.org/web/20050307082225/http://www.memoriesboard.net/takecarebearsplace/fanfic.htm fanfics of Take Care Bear]].

!! Take Care Bear's stories provide examples of:
* HalloweenEpisode: "Tricks and Treats in Care-A-Lot", in which Take Care Bear goes to the Halloween party and pranks Swift Heart. Yes, the animals wear costumes.
* OCStandIn: Take Care Bear is an unusual case. Her author created Take Care Bear as a custom bear, not one of the canon Franchise/CareBears. This bear is a medical doctor, and her tummy symbol is an apple. Few fans knew that an official bear had the same name. Take Care Bear is a OneShotCharacter in ''Literature/TheCareBearsAndTheBigSneeze'', an obscure coloring book from 1987. This bear is a medical doctor, and her tummy symbol is an apple. (The 2004 toy line launched a new version of Take Care Bear.)\\
\\
The similarity might be coincidence: "take care" is an idiom, and there is a proverb, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." So it is plausible that the fan author, not aware of the coloring book, created a custom bear with the same name, job, and tummy symbol. The coloring-book bear has brown fur, but the fan-fiction bear has red fur. Fans may conflate two into one. Therefore, the fan-fiction Take Care Bear is an OC Stand In for the coloring-book bear.
* SelfInsertFic: Take Care Bear is both the character's name and her author's forum name. Take Care Bear is friend with Gentle Heart Lamb because her author owns a Gentle Heart plush.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: These stories have "Shrieky". The official spelling is "Shreeky".
