Bear In the Wood

There is a bear the woods of Flagstaff. If anyone still is reading these. However the bear that we have gotten to during our English class is not really bear. The bear is Karyn. we have been deceived all semester getting to know bear. I found out on my last day in Flag by bear who told me that she made the name bear up to be funny and that no one calls her bear. So who is the really bear in the woods is it Karyn or Bear we got to know?
