[Personality]
Teddie is hard to describe in few words.
He is always curious, eager to please, and child-like. Naturally he is curious because everything in the human world is new to him. He wants to know and understand the things that his friends face everyday. That's why he often asks questions despite annoying those around him (Yosuke usually). The child-like part can be also explained by this part as well. Sure he is a quirky comic relief, but he is naive and king-hearted like a child. The side-effect of being child-like however is that he can rather childish too.
He is awfully thick-skinned as well, for he'll shamelessly flirt with the clerk lady to get his free cooked meat. His shamelessness borderlines with perverseness; he seems very interested in girls and understanding the exact meaning of "scoring a hot stud." He also gets carried away often whether it be by the occasion or the mood at the time. Like Miss Yasogami (a cross-dressing contest) and the King Game. Although many would argue if kissing Kanji during the King Game was really necessary ... The question remains unanswered.
But he's not all fun bear inside. In fact, the hollowness of his true existence, a lost Shadow, troubles him greatly. Upon realizing that he is a Shadow, he thought he would be of no use to people who were dear to him. How could he be? After all, he was one of the things that his friends were fighting against. When he did "remember" what he was, he left the party with a very sad heart. But after encountering the Protagonist in his dream and the ensuring Nanako's safety, Teddie understood that he indeed can make a difference despite what he was and affirmed his determination to help the team find the Truth. This inner strength was enough to bring about metamorphosis of his Persona to a greater level.
It's good to be mindful that he has spent a great deal of time inside the TV world alone. Although he's outgoing, he doesn't know dos and don'ts that come from common sense. He also has tendency to get easily lonely. When the game started, he simply asked the team to come visit him more often. After his Shadow battle, he followed them out to the human world. The team and Nanako had given him so much, laughter, promises, and good memories - he would do anything to make sure they are kept safe. Sure he jokes around, but he is a good bear who knows what is important to him.
[Abilities]
Teddie is a support-turned-playable character that specializes in Ice, Support, and Buffing magic.

The analysis ability has gone down few levels since he gained his persona, but his nose is still very helpful to have around.
His Persona, Kamui, has these 8 abilities:
Tresto: Escape.
Matarukaja: Raises attack of all allies for a while. (3 turns in game)
Marakukaja: Raises defense of all allies for a while. (3 turns in game)
Amrita: Removes all bad status effects on the party.
Samarecarm: Revives an ally with full HP.
Mabufudyne: Large Ice damage. All foes.
Mediarahan: Fully restores HP of party members.
Ice Amp: Boost of ice attacks by 50%
His Persona is weak against electricity. But it can resist wind and darkness as well as block ice attacks.

*He loves his bear puns
[Sample post]
[First Person]
- What do you think of your home world?
My home-home world is a bit lonely place. There is no one there ... but I don't hate it or anything! It is my humble abode. Yosuke's place is nice too! Although he complains most of the time.
- What were you doing before now?
The team and I beat Adachi-baby *A brave look* It was a hard battle, but thanks to Sensei and my amazing skills, he was sent to this 'jail' place.
- If you were to describe yourself in one sentence, what would that be?
I am a pAwsome bear! *laughs* Get it?
- If you could fight in a giant robot, what would it be and what would you do?
I've fought a giant robot Shadows before. But I never thought of fighting in it. *Bewildered look here.* Maybe I can fighting the other giant robots! It'll save us some trouble, wouldn't it?
- You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
If that someone is a pretty girl, I don't see why not. *a smile* We would hold hands and go eat ice cream. And then I can get a smooch or two?
- You are on the verge of death. You know there is no way to survive and there's no coming back. Choose any of the following to answer: What is your last wish? Your last regret? Last thoughts? How do you feel? Who is the last person you think of other than your killer? (can answer more than one of these question, but it will at most count as 2 questions)
I ... I don't know. I never thought about dying before. I guess it's strange since I am fighting all the time. But you know, if I was dying for the right reason, I think I'll be content. *a smile and silent grin* The first person that would come to my mind would be Sensei of course. He has done so much for me. I am really indebted to him.
[Third Person]
Teddie wasn't sure if he liked these large dolls made out of twigs and cloth. There were a lot of them just roaming about the field and minding their business. But there was something oddly ominous about how they kept moving their head in his direction. He hesitated, pacing back and forth just few steps away from the tall grass of the field.
"This is supposed to be the short cut ... "
He thought out loud before gulping. Sure there were those dolls, but hey, he wasn't going to hurt them or anything. He was going to go across the field to another side of the village. That's all. He didn't mean any harm. Deciding, perhaps deluding, that he had nothing to fear, Teddie walked carefully into the field.
It was a big mistake.
The dolls began to gather in a line and suddenly began to throw rocks at the bear. Hard, pointy rocks mind you. He cried out when they showered on him. He started to run, but his short legs were hardly a match for an army of scarecrows.
"What did I ever did to you guys!?" He shouted as he continued to run towards the other side of the field. Unfortunately he tripped on a stray rock and stumbled down the grass like a large rubber ball. He landed quite painfully in front of the scarecrow army, his stomach flat against the ground. He wiggled and wiggled but couldn't stand up! He really hated his short limbs at times like these.
The dolls neared him one by one.
"N-noooo-!! You stay away!"
Unfortunately, Teddie was found two days later tied to a tree. And the scarecrows frozen in an ice block few meters away.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Well I think I play reserved characters way too much lately ... And I promised certain someone a Persona 4 castmate.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Lately I love no meta-gaming.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] ... I am running out of funny answers.
[Any questions?] Nope!
