Bear, also known as Spirit of Bear or Bear Spirit, is a Great Spirit of the Wild. She is revered by the norn, who build shrines and lodges to honor her, the most notable being the Bear Lodge. According to her Speaker, Alarrin of the Frost, Bear embodies strength in body and mind, both in the person and in us as a people. Bear also stands for ferocity and confidence, and many norn believe her to be the mightiest of all the Spirits of the Wild.

My younger self was a tireless warrior. A leg wound put a stop to that, and I turned to Bear to save me. I'd rather dies than not fight, but she showed me how to go on.
Bear is our Mother when she's like a she-bear protecting her cubs. We also call her Sister when she helps us find inner strength.
I've seen many seasons and gone through many trials along the way. Now I live for Bear and honor her every day with my own feats.
Embrace the BEAR

A few days ago I unlocked Bear Ceremonial Garb and Bar Ceremonial Hood and created a new look for my Norn Mesmerin. Unfortunately ANet didn't make the effort to offer shoulder and gloves as single parts (at the moment they are part of the chest part). This looks good, but reduces styling possibilities. So I only used Primitive Footwraps, because they have bone fragments, which fits to the bear, predator. As legwear I decided to use simple elegy pants (you could also use hovroun leggings). As color palette - different shades of brown. I thought about which weapons would look good and tried Bandit Skins, because I think they fit quite well.

During the photo shoot I tried my best to trick the bear and make it look like he was friendly... Have fun with my photo story about the Norn hunter and bear shaman :)

You have a really unique way of screenshotting. The one where you lean against the bears face is amazing.

Thanks for compliment!
You have to start cuddling with little bears (https://imgur.com/a/3KcUrtR) then it also works with big ones :)
The screen you mentioned was made in downed mode and was not so easy: first had wrong position, clipping error with bear and I died at least 10 times (mainly because I forgot that I have original Bear Ceremonial armor parts (so rare yellow) and no jewelry at all...and the bears were 70 levels)
