* PerpetualSmiler: To the degree that she smiles even when she's angry, with one of the episodes having her get the idea to wear a pair of gag glasses with a DeathStare expression and a large pair of AngryEyebrows glued on it to show people when she's actually angry, only for her to end up wearing them for most of the episode.

** TheGadfly: He loves making bizarre statements to mess with everyone, especially Penguin. Though never without playfulness or affection. He justifies this by saying he just wants to bring some fun into their lives.

When all his friends starts throwing puns back at him, he panics while becoming desperate for normal conversation and ends up running away from everybody.

** There's also the question of where he lives/what his home is like. While it's brought up from time to time and one part of a whole episode is centered around Panda trying to find out, ultimately he's the only one out of the main cast whose house is never shown.



%%* BadassBiker

to:

%%* BadassBiker* BadassBiker: His usual attire is biker gear and he rides often, and given that he's a big & tough grizzly bear with a matching attitude, he definitely lives up to the image.


Added DiffLines:

* TheAce: Not as much as Shirokuma or Grizzly but he does exhibit quite a few talents, such as painting, sculpting, and caring for bonsai. Though oddly enough, he never really considers using his talents to gain attention rather than just wait for people to notice him as is.


Added DiffLines:

* AttentionWhore: Downplayed, as he's not annoying about it but he does sometimes act out to get people to notice him, usually resulting in a hilarious EpicFail.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtsyBeret: During his stint as an artist, Penguin wore a beret. It was green, probably as a Tezuka reference. Polar Bear and Panda don't comment on it, but it's sillier-looking than a lot of other examples.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Compared to his manga counterpart, Panda is much more rude and thoughtless to his friends and peers. For example, in episode 22 Panda was generally rude to the Pygoscelis penguins, showed no interest in their cards, and called their Memory game boring, but in the manga Panda was much nicer to them and continued to play their Memory game rather than dismiss it.

* ObliquelyObfuscatedOccupation: He seems to work, but it's never clarified what exactly is his profession, something that's lampshaded in the last episode.


Added DiffLines:

* RiddleForTheAges: How he sits on the chair at the cafe is treated as a mystery by the other characters, and we never see how he does it.

* MellowFellow: His personality is really calm, soft-spoken and easygoing 99.9% of the time. A few things that happen throughout the show may spark a strong reaction out of him, but it's only once in a blue moon.

* DarkIsNotEvil: He's basically the dark mirror of Shirokuma, with black fur, a more agressive personality, a less diurnal schedule and leather. Yet he's still a mostly decent person and sometimes [[OnlySaneMan the voice of reason]] when hanging out with [[CloudCuckooLander Panda]].
