* GoodIsNotNice: The White Faced Bear's moral compass has not been explored thoroughly enough to make clear whether or not he actually qualifies as good. However so far there have been two cases we have seen where The White Faced Bear directly intervened, on both occasions Cliff was in danger, and in both cases the Thunder Children were more than happy to "clean" up the results. After the incident with the spider monster, he decides that Oscar is distracting Eliza from her true duties and declares him PersonaNonGrata in the woods.
