Likes:

• Fish
• Swimming
• Snow
• Star-gazing
• Deep undisturbed sleep
• Sharing fables and tales of ancestors
• Night- it is quieter and she is less likely to be seen.

Dislikes:

• Unknown trespassers
  
• Thieves
• Hot weather
• Times of scarce prey
  
• Other large predators- they are a threat to her hunting grounds.
  
• Leaving her territory- Despite being prone to travelling miles each day, she is reluctant to leave her territory for knowledge that others would be quick to try to establish themselves in the caves and steal the bountiful prey that the coastline offers.
  
• Liars- She will trust once and only once. Igälek has a VERY strong moral code. Do not break it. Do not challenge it. When you are on her territory you abide by her rules. Do not upset this bear. She will not allow herself to be used or taken advantage of. Those who have underestimated her apparent kindness and attempted to abuse it were killed shortly thereafter. Do. Not. Make. Her. Angry.
  

Strengths:

• Physical power- Igälek is made up of a huge bulk of muscle. This, combined with her staggering size and weight makes her a formidable foe and deadly in battle.
  
• Endurance- Having been built for survival, Igälek is able to go up to eight months without food and can survive in the harshest winters due to the thickness of her fur coat.
  
• Scent- She is able to scent prey, blood and other animals from up to 1km away.
  
• Swimming- She is a strong swimmer, having covered miles of distance across the sea. Even the coldest waters will not deter her. She is able to cover great distances across water channels to different territories.
  
• Knowledge- Having travelled long distances across the sea and surviving harsh conditions for her ten years of life, Igälek has a good degree of wisdom from her experiences. She is incredibly resourceful by nature and possesses blunt efficiency when it comes to survival.
  
• Communication- Thankfully, Igälek is a strong communicator. This makes it possible to reason with her. She is a good negotiator and possesses the reason to hear others out when the situation is suitable for her to do so.
  

Weaknesses:

• Weather- Igälek is poorly adjusted to the warmer climate of Skarth. This vastly limits the territories that she roams. As a result of this, in warmer months she will often remain within the caves for longer periods of time.
  
• Food- Although Igälek is a good hunter, her new territory does not possess the snow or ice that would usually camoflauge her. As a result of this, prey can often see her coming. She does not possess the endurance to put up a long quick-paced chase, so hunting on land can often be difficult for her. She is also constantly driven to find enough prey of nutritious content to keep herself alive. Skarth's prey is much smaller and scrawnier than what she is used to, meaning that she must hunt almost constantly in order to sustain her huge size and strength.
  
• Judgement- Once Igälek comes to a conclusion on something, she is unlikely to ever be swayed. This applies to those appealing to her for forgiveness, a reconsideration for passage through her territory and those asking her for favours. Her judgement is often rather ferocious. Those who push against her or challenge her refusals will meet a fiery temper. Although it is possible to reason with her, once she makes a decision it is final.
