Sister Bear is one of the main characters in the Berenstain Bears series. She is Papa and Mama Bear's second child and Brother's younger and Honey Bear's big sister. Sister is 8 years old and in the third grade.

Biography[]

Sister Bear was first introduced in the book The Berenstain Bears' New Baby as Small Bear's sibling. In her debut story, after Mama gave birth to Sister, Small Bear introduced himself to her, to which she punches him in his nose. Despite this, Small Bear and Sister quickly became loyal.

Sister was the only daughter of the Bear family until The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five, where Honey was introduced.

Personality:[]

Sister is a social and more outgoing than Brother. Her hobbies consist of playing with dolls and with her best friend Lizzy Bruin. She also likes most of the things Brother enjoys such as video games, soccer, and baseball.

Sister is also athletic, as in the book The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food, she participated in the Bear Country 3-mile run with her family.

Despite her social behavior, Sister has shown to be a bit bossy and can be a show-off. In the book The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed, Sister tagged along with Brother and his friends when they go on a run, went to climb trees, and played marbles. However, as she grew older, Sister started showboating by running faster, climbing higher, and beating the boys in a game of marbles. In addition, Sister is also greedy, as in the book The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies, she and Brother ask for everything they see and were quick to throw a tantrum if they didn't get what they wanted.

Lastly, Sister also has a jealous side, as shown in the book The Berenstain Bears and the Green-Eyed Monster. She was initially happy for Brother at his birthday party, but as Mama and Papa showed him a new bike, Sister immediately became jealous and wished to ride it. Another case of jealousy occurred in the book The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five, where Sister was jealous of the attention that her sister Honey was getting. She eventually warms up to her and welcomes her to the Bear family.

All in all she is a sweet cub who loves her family and friends. She is always willing to help and even helps her brother out and has a soft side for animals.

Character design:[]

Sister's usual outfit consists of a white long-sleeved blouse with pink polka dots, frilly pink overalls, white camisole, matching panties and a pink ribbon tied in a bow. The color pink is always used on her outfits, even when she is dressed in costume (e.g. her costume in The Berenstain Bears Get Stage Fright and her costume in The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat). In the animated series, the polka dots on her blouse are omitted, most likely because it helped simplify the animation process.
