Longclaw

Longclaw, a character in the The Cursed Heart series, is the housekeeper at the Moon Palace. She is first seen in Chapter 2.

Appearance
As a bear, Longclaw has a golden fur, brown eyes, and big claws. She wears a blue hat, a long white dress with a collar, and a long blue apron.

Personality
According to her storybook, as a fae Longclaw was gentle, sweet and lovely. This didn't change when she turned into a bear. Instead, she was recognised for her strength of character, and now she can also be described as friendly and helpful.

Background
Longclaw was a fae maiden who was destined to become the head of her family, but much to her elders' dismay, she had no mind for politics. She preferred the company of her house servants, and she loved helping the cooks and gardeners with their daily tasks. She also loved spending time with her little brother/sister and her cousins, but one day, her brother/sister found some berries, and when Longclaw ate them, she realised that they were enchanted and turned her into a bear. When the guards saw her, they thought that she killed their lady and attacked her, and she ran into the woods. She stayed there for many years, until she wandered by chance onto the grounds of the Moon Palace, where she was accepted despite her fearsome shape.
