Who Is Grizzly Girl?

Belle Bearclaw was a young woman from Washington, USA. In her early twenties, she had a passion for travelling the world and taking photographs of amazing places and creatures. One day, whilst trying to snap a picture of a grizzly bear in a forest in Alaska, she saw a hunter who wanted to perform dangerous experiments on the bears. While trying to stop him, a dart containing special formula grazed her cheek. She ran away as fast and as far as she could, but the scratch on the side of her face began to tingle. Her limbs started to shake and when she looked down at her hands, she saw soft, brown fur and long, pointed claws.

Superpowers

Grizzly Girl’s almighty roar is as loud as thunder. She is as strong as a typhoon and can roll up into a speeding ball of fur and claws, which flies through the air like a bullet. She uses this to fight evil and to protect the people of North America. Her roar stops her enemies in their tracks, giving her a few seconds to catch them.

Friends and Enemies

This superhero has lots of animal friends in the forest, such as wolves, beavers, birds and other bears. Belle also has a younger sister, Bernadette, who wants to become just like her super sister. Grizzly Girl has no enemies, but she has sometimes been caught in hunter’s traps. The human hunters in her homeland cause a nuisance and if she can give them a little fright to stop them from coming back, she will!

She raced away from the scene as fast and as far as she could, but stopped when the shallow scratch on the side of her face began to tingle.
