"The Rose Bear was inspired by a Japanese mask that it’s wearing called a ‘Kitsune’ (Fox) Mask. This mask has many different variants just like Roses do, they all mean slightly different things depending on their colours, just like Roses. These masks were believed to protect the wearer and scare off any evil around it. They were worn by messengers for this reason. The rose in its hand represents how frail we are and how easily we all can be destroyed while the mask is there serving as a spiritual guard. A bear that's protected no matter what the circumstances around it." - Sahil
