charrie basics.[/ul][/font][/i]
age:Questionable. Pooh has been around for many years while being owned by the young boy Christopher Robin so it is assumed he is around the boy's age. (Assuming that he was made and bought early in the boy's life.)
species:Teddy Bear
birthplace:The Hundred Acre Wood
movie:The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
title:
Silly Willy Nilly Old Bear
why:Why not? If one thinks about it, there is a billion story lines that could be made with Winnie. I mean, a small teddy bear trapped int a series of amusement parks, subjected to dangers from anywhere possible, all in an effort to get home and be with his dear friends again. If that doesn't spell epic I don't know what does. Plus, I love Mr. Pooh Bear and I've played him on other sites as well.

charrie appearance[/ul][/font][/i]
facial description/mood expressions:Pooh is almost always with a happy face. Though he will frown when he runs out of honey.
clothing style:A plain red shirt
body build:Tubby and proud of it.
any unique traits (optional) :Winnie is a stuffed animal, thus he is filled to the brim with fluff. He also has a large stitch on his back that will break sometimes.

original charrie analysis. (everything must be in your own words! please be thorough.)[/ul][/font][/i]
However, Pooh is also known for being a bear of very little brain. He is very forgetful and will often go back to do something he has already done. He often thinks up crude ideas that seem quite unrealistic and perhaps a bit over the top(ironically they actually work half the time). Pooh is also somewhat ignorant. When someone is annoyed or upset with him, he will not really notice it. He will just keep doing what he is doing without a care. Winnie, being the curious bear he is, is also ignorant to most kinds of danger. Sure when theres a large dark forest that screams evil he will be scared but if it's a hive full of bees, he will not really think of the danger. Even if he is subjected to that danger, finds it to be fearsome, and it forces him to rethink a goal of some kind, he will more then likely try again even if the danger is still there(though he will be much more aware of it the second time).
Although pooh has many shortcomings, he makes up for it in many leadership qualities. He is a very brave bear, often facing many challenges that would be far too challenging to normal teddies. He is persistent and will often not give up on a goal, even if has failed many times before. He is most notably, despite his simple outlook, very wise(in his own Pooh way that is). he has a surprising amount of helpful sayings that will usually help in most situations(though, he is mostly unaware he is saying anything helpful). In all, Pooh may not be the brightest person around but he sure is the most fun.
history: NOTE: Winnie the Pooh doesn't have a history. Instead, he has several stories that describe events in his life. I will now tell summaries of the most notable stories.
Pooh and the Honey Tree
One day, Pooh was hankering for some honey. However, he was horrified to find that he was out. Thus, he started on a quest to get honey from the local Honey tree. Pooh tried many strange schemes to obtain honey but each one failed. Eventually, he decided it would be easier to get some from his friend Rabbit. Rabbit, being the nice guy he is, let's Pooh have a bit of honey. however, Pooh turned a bit into all of Rabbit's honey. Plump and full, Pooh tried to leave. However, he was too large to fit through Rabbit's front door and got stuck...much to Rabbit's dismay. Rabbit gathered the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood, including the boy Christopher Robin, and concluded that they would have to wait until Pooh lost his weight before pulling him out...making Rabbit only feel worse.
Winnie waited for a very long time. He almost stayed in longer thanks to Gopher and his honey but Rabbit stopped that quickly. After a very long time, Pooh was discovered to be ready after Rabbit leaned on him and he budged. Rabbit once again gathered the residence and together they pulled Pooh out of Rabbit's from door. However, they pulled too hard and Pooh went flying. He landed right into the Honey tree he tried to raid last time. He then enjoyed the rewards for his hard work.
Pooh and The Blustery Day
In this story, Pooh had gone outside for some air, only to find that it was "Windsday". To celebrate, he went around wishing everyone a happy Windsday. He soon went to wish Owl happy Windsday, with the company of his friend Piglet(they actually were forced into the house by wind but it counts). It was a nice visit...until the wind knocked over Owl's house. After the residence came to make sure the three were alright, it was decided that Eeyore would find a new house for Owl after he volunteered. Pooh then went home, but he didn't get much sleep that night. You see, a creature was making a strange sound outside his house. After a while, he bravely opened the door.
What came in was quite a surprise. A strange animal named Tigger pounced him in greeting. Tigger told Pooh all about his kind and how he was supposedly the only one. He also told Pooh about the horrible creatures known as Heffalumps and Woozles and how they steal honey. Tigger then left abruptly, leaving Pooh to have a nightmare about the horrible creatures. He was awoken by a flood in his house. He quickly escaped with all of his honey and hid on top of a tree. However, when he tried to eat some of his honey, he fell out and floated down the currents of the flood with his head in a honey pot. However, Pooh dropped down a water fall, accidentally saving piglet from danger as well. Pooh was treated like a hero, and Piglet too after he gave his house to Owl.
Pooh and Tigger Too
In this story, Pooh, Rabbit, and Piglet were working together to stop Tigger's constant bouncing. They decided to lead him out into the forest to get him lost, thinking he would get so scared that he would stop bouncing forever. However, after ditching him, they got lost instead. Rabbit split from the group to see if he could find a way back while Pooh and Piglet waited in a sand pit. Eventually, Tigger saved them and Pooh and Piglet never complained about his bouncing again...Rabbit was still annoyed though. A long while after, Pooh and Piglet were taking a walk in the Hundred Acre Wood, when they heard the noise of a strange creature. Believing it was a frightening Jagular, they stayed on their guard and tried to get away, only to find that it was Tigger stuck in a tree. The residence gathered around the tree to try to help Tigger. However, none of them could get Tigger down. Eventually, the Narrator himself stepped in and helped Tigger down. Pooh then joined the rest of the wood in a joyful bouncing.

what makes this character unique: Pooh's love for honey is matched by no other.

Indeed, if there is a single person in the universe who likes honey more then Pooh, I would go to outer space and live in the moon(that's right, in).
RP SAMPLE: ---- WARNING: It is quite long. I like stories not samples. If you'd like shorter thing just tell me.
Our story begins in the enchanted forest of the Hundred Acre Wood. Dawn was just about to peek over the horizon to wake up the sleepy residence below. As the bright rays of the sun stretched over the wood, they soon came upon the home of Winnie the Pooh. Pooh bear was sleeping soundly in his bed, dreaming of entire oceans filled to the brim with honey. If it was up to him, Pooh would have stayed in the dream for a very long time. However, the sun decided it was time to get up, so it stretched it’s rays into Pooh’s window and shined onto his face. Pooh wiggled his nose and opened his eyes. He smiled and said, “Good morning sun.” He climbed out of bed and started for his closet. He walked by his mirror and stopped for a second. He turned to his mirror and said to his reflection, “Good morning. Wonderful day, isn’t it?” Pooh was then interrupted by a loud noise. He knew the noise well, as it was the sound of a rumbly in his tumbley. He smacked his lips and said, ‘Time for the best part of the morning: breakfast.”
Happily humming to himself, Pooh went into his closet and quickly emerged with a clean red shirt. He walked over to his cabinet on the far side of the room and pulled out a stool from the left side of the cabinet. He climbed on top of the stool so he could reach the very top shelf, where his honey sat for him to eat. He grabbed the jar that he used to hold the honey and peeked inside of it. He didn’t find as much as he would of liked but it was just right for now. He stuffed his head into the pot and sat down on the stool. Pooh kept his head in the pot until every drop of honey was sucked out. After he finished the jar off, he tried pulling his head out. It took a bit of effort but he was able pull the pot off. Though, he did tumble off the stool and landed on his back. He just giggled and climbed back on to the stool and replaced the honey jar on top of the cabinet.
Pooh then went outside for some nice, morning air. He walked over to the log that lie in front of his house and sat on it. Some days, he would sit there for an hour or two, just admiring the day until lunch time. However, Pooh wasn’t able to sit down for very long. He had his morning stoutness exercises to do. When he felt it was time, he stood up and began to exercise. “Up, down, up, down...” he chanted this as he did the respective motions with his arms. It wasn’t very long though before his tummy once again rumbled. Pooh chuckled to himself and said, “Must be time for lunch.” He hummed his “Rumbly in my tumbly” song as he walked back into his house for lunch. He climbed back on to the stool and pulled the honey pot from the top shelf. Now, being a bear of very little brain, Pooh had forgotten he had eaten the rest of the honey not too long ago. He peeked his head into the pot but could not find anything at the bottom. He let out a sigh and said, “Oh stuff and fluff, it’s empty again.” He pulled his head out and accidentally toppled to the ground, knocking over the stool and dropping the pot which shattered on the floor.
Pooh landed on his back and quickly sat up. He rested his left elbow on his right arm and tapped his left paw to his head saying, “Think, think, think.” He was thinking of where he could get some more honey and possibly a new pot too. He thought for several minutes before he came to an idea. He smiled to himself and said, “I’ll just pay a visit to my dear friend Rabbit. He always has honey to spare.” He got up and began walking to Rabbit’s. He soon came upon Rabbit’s house. He walked over to the front door (which was actually just a small hole) and was surprised to find a sign on the top of the hole. It read “Off on vacation. Do not bother asking for honey. Sincerely, Rabbit.” Pooh read the sign many times before calling into the hole, “Is Rabbit really on vacation?” a voice answered him, “Yes, yes he is.” Pooh hung his head sadly at the news. After a moment, he called back in, “Well, when he gets back will you tell him I need to ask him something?” The voice responded, “Will do.” Pooh than began walking back to his house, thinking of a new way to get honey along the way.
His thoughts were interrupted, however, by a bonk in the head. He looked at up to see a large tree with many bees buzzing around it. Pooh grinned happily and exclaimed, “A honey tree! Why didn’t I think of this before?” he hummed to himself as he attempted to climb the tree. However, this tree was much taller than the other honey trees Pooh climbed. He just kept sliding down when he tried to climb up. After his fourth try he plopped to the ground with a disappointed “Botha.” For a little while he sat there looking up at the tree, thinking and thinking of some way to get up it but no matter how much he thought, he could not come up with anything. He than concluded to visit his “Thinking spot.” where he thinks of his best ideas.
He soon came to his thinking spot only after a bit of traveling. He sat on a log which lie in the middle of his spot and began chanting, “Think, think, think, think...” He thought for a long while but could not think of a way to climb the tree. He was thinking his hardest when he heard a familiar sound. He looked down on his tummy but the sound he heard was deeper and mischievous. Soon, the sound came again and this time, it was followed by a wall of orange and black. Pooh went “Oof” and was knocked off the log. He tumbled with the orange wall a few feet away from the log and stopped on his back looking up into the face of Tigger. Tigger let out a laugh and said “Hello Pooh. Wonderful day isn’t it?” Pooh let out a brief chuckle and said, “It is nice to see you too. Though, it would be nicer if I were standing.” Pooh enjoyed the company from Tigger although he didn’t quite enjoy his entrances. Tigger lifted a foot and looked at Pooh’s belly. He chuckled and said, “Gee, sorry for that Pooh boy.” He got off Pooh and Pooh got back up. Pooh than asked, “So how is your day Tigger?” Tigger than went on about what a great day for bouncing it is and what not. Pooh wanted to listen, but he was distracted by the constant rumbles coming from his belly. Tigger must of heard one of the rumbles as he stopped talking to listen.
A few rumbles later, Tigger said, “Say Pooh, seems like you need some honey.” Pooh sighed and told Tigger of what happened that day. About the running out of honey, Rabbit not being home, and of the large honey tree that was too large to climb. After the story, Tigger began scratching his head. Pooh did the same on his thinking log. They both thought and than suddenly, Pooh came up with an idea. He said to Tigger, “Tigger, do you think you could bounce me up to the top of the tree?” Tigger looked at Pooh and said with a chuckle, “Aw, your far to heavy for me to bounce ya up there but I just thought of a plan to get you to bounce up there yourself.” Tigger began bouncing away and called back to Pooh, “Let’s go on to my place. I’ve got the perfect thing for ya.” Pooh jumped off his thinking log and followed Tigger, curious of what he had in mind.
It took a while, but after a bit of patience (and quite a bit of duct tape and springs) Pooh was given an artificial Tigger tail. Together, they went back to the large honey tree so Pooh could try out Tigger’s plan. Pooh examined his “tail” which was made of four springs taped to his bottom. He turned to Tigger and said, “Are you sure this will work Tigger?” Tigger laughed and said, “Of course it will buddy bear. These springs are extra springy so they will bounce ya right up to where those bees makes the honey” Pooh licked his lips and said, “Well, here I go.” He swung his hands to and fro a few times and than fell on the springs. They were much springier than Pooh had thought as they rocketed him up the tree trunk in seconds. He yelled out, “Ohhh Booothaaa!” as he flew right past the honey hole. He didn’t make it much farther up before he fell back down, once again missing the hole. He landed on his bottom which meant another bounce up the tree. Pooh kept grabbing for the hole but could not grab hold of it. He continued bouncing, up and down and up, and he eventually grabbed on to the hole. Pooh smiled in delight. He heard Tigger below say “Way to go buddy bear!”
Pooh hoisted himself up into the hole. The hole was filled with honey, a beautiful sight for a hungry Pooh bear. He began stuffing his cheeks full of honey, when he heard a buzzing sound by his ear. He stopped eating and looked up to see a bee. The be flew angrily around Pooh’s nose and than flew deeper into trunk of the tree. In a matter of moments, a huge swarm of bees came towards Pooh. Terrified, Pooh tried to pull himself out of the trunk but is too far wedged in. He pushed his legs on the outside of the tree and he began budging out little by little.. He pushed and pushed, his head getting nearer out. The bees were coming up fast. They were just about to get him but Pooh let out one more push of his legs and he popped right out of tree. He fell away from the hole and tumbled down, hitting many branches along the way. He finally made it to the ground and, to his relief, landed on his belly next to Tigger. Tigger bent over to look into Pooh’s face and said, “Err, you alright Pooh?” Pooh blinked a few times and said, “Yes, my stuffing broke the fall.” Pooh had no time to relax, however. The swarm of bees had emerged from the tree and were now flying strait towards Pooh and Tigger. Tigger yelled out, “Bounce for it!!!” and Pooh was forced to join Tigger in bouncing away for surely his stout legs would not be able to out run bees.
The two bounced along as quickly as they could. Pooh had seen many mad bees but none of them were as furious as these ones. Pooh just tried to keep up with Tigger who was getting farther and farther ahead. Another problem was that Pooh’s “tail” was beginning to fall off. Poor Pooh would soon be helpless against the army of evil bees. Pooh reflected on the day’s events as the likeliness of his survival slowly went down. He said to himself between bounces, “I suppose....this could have been.....avoided....if I had remembered......to restock on honey.....earlier.” His tail than fell apart mid-bounce. Pooh watched it fall and while looking down said, “Oh botha.” Pooh than plummeted. He expected to be squashed but instead he bounced up a short distance into the air, and began rolling down a small hill after coming back down. He rolled and rolled until he eventually fell into a river at the bottom of the hill. He stood up in the shallow water only to dive back in at the sight of the bees.
The bees, however, were actually going back as they had seemed to have lost sight of both Pooh and Tigger. Pooh sat in the river and let out a sigh of relief. He than heard a voice say “Hello there Pooh.” Pooh looked over to see his friends having a small picnic at the river bed. The voice had come from Piglet who soon also said, “We sent T-t-tigger to come and tell you about the p-p-p-picnic but he never came back so we sent Owl to find you but you b-b-both seemed to have found us.” Pooh looked around to see all his friends were there. Piglet, Rabbit (which was strange as he was supposed to be on vacation.), Eeyore, Kanga and Roo, and even Gopher had showed up. Pooh spotted Tigger close by, shivering from also falling into the water.”S-s-s-sorry.” Tigger said looking a bit embarrassed. “I f-f-f-forgot.” Soon Owl came back and they all went to the large picnic blanket set up near by. Pooh quickly found two large pots filled to the top with honey. He smacked his lips and said, “Just in time for supper.”
