Teddie

Origin

Teddie is a shadow that exists in the realm of the Midnight Channel in Inaba. While he looks like a giant stuffed bear, he knows he is hollow on the inside. He spends most of his time around a flat plain in the shadow world as he prefers to be alone. However, one day, people from the human world start to appear in his world for some unknown reason. He tries to help them but they fall victim to the darkness that exists in the bizarre fog covered world. It isn't until Yu Nakumari, Chie Satonaka, and Yosuke Hanamura appear that Teddie pieces together what is going on.
