Should any of them become savage or irrational, professional trainers are to be called in to handle the situation or tranquilize the subjects if needed. Regular visits from SCP-69615 have been proven productive in keeping SCP-69616, SCP-69616-A, B and C under control. On [DATA EXPUNGED], SCP-69616, SCP-69616-A, B and C have been allowed free-roaming clearance under Level 5 protocol and the accompaniment of SCP-69615.

Description: SCP-69615 (legally known as "Merida ███████ ") appears to be an 18-year-old female human of Scottish heritage, 1.51 meters in height and 73.6 kilograms in weight. She has wild, curly red-hair that reaches midway down her back and blue eyes. No abnormal phenomenon have been found to be caused by SCP-69615, nor does she emanate any form of energy or radiation, and appears for all intents and purposes, a normal human being in good health. However, evidence and delegations have concluded that SCP-69615 may possess reality-bending capabilities, though this is still under heavy debate.

SCP-69615 (who is insistent on using her legal name) has displayed average intelligence and has passed all psychological testing, but has displayed a strong temper that can turn violent if given any reason too. Discussion with 69615 implies feelings of guilt, presumably over SCP-69616, SCP-69616-A, B and C, but she strongly denies it. She speaks fluent english with a scottish accent, but has proven to know a limited amount of traditional Gaelic. She appears to be educated in a number of subjects curtesy of a high-class education, including politics, geography, history, music, sowing, horse-riding, climbing, swordsmanship and archery. She seems to prefer athletic ventures over intellect, thriving well in recreation time.

SCP-69616 appears to resemble that of a female ursine of unknown species. She is covered completely in black fur, with hazel-nut eyes that resemble that of human eyes. Her claws leave her uncoordinated and clumsy in the event of handling objects in a manner of that of a human. SCP-69616 seems to possess an above-average intellect to that of human-beings, being able to understand human dialect enough for verbal cooperation. Many attempts at communicating with the foundation members appear to be futile, but resorts to physical gestures if all else fails. From the patterns in her behavior, SCP-69616 displays qualities of fine-breeding, manners and an above-average intelligence in subjects ranging from History to Decorum. Many personnel have claimed to have seen SCP-69616 what they could only describe as "scolding" in event that the girl or the cubs misbehave or act ill-mannered in any instance.

SCP-69616-A, B and C take the form of three small, identical male-bear cubs of the same species as SCP-69616, all with blue, human like eyes. All three do not seem to suffer from the same lapses in behavior as SCP-69616, but are shown to be prone to mischief amongst facility staff, but can be made cooperative with the promise of sweets. They all seem to be more adept at using their claws for intricate work.

According to SCP-69615, SCP-69616 is actually her "mother" and SCP-69616-A, B and C are her "triplet brothers", claiming that "a witch made them like this". DNA samples show all of them containing the same genetic potency to that of a humans, confirming this allegation. It is currently unknown at this time how their genetic structure is able to support their anatomy.

After an as of yet unknown period of time, SCP-69616 will suffer a momentary lapse it its personality for a maximum of 10-20 minutes. It's eyes morphing into that of a regular ursine and will act as tho it was a real bear. Paternal instincts will cause her to become violent if any personnel are within 5 meters of SCP-69616-A, B and C. The only other subject she seems to allow within the proximity is SCP-69615, supporting her allegations.
All four subjects seemed to have developed a close bond with some of the other free-roaming SCP, including SCP-073, 191, 69612, 69613, and 69617.

Note: It has been noted that SCP-69615 and 69616 reacted with great hostility and fear when in the presence of the recently captured SCP-69618. When questioned on the matter, 69615 was left hysterical and had to be sedated. The next day, she was questioned again, and answered "you need to put that monster down before it kills us all."

Addendum 1: Circumstances of Acquisition: SCP-69616, 69616-A, 69616-B and 69616-C where first located when Beta Team X2 were sent to ███████, in the Scottish Highlands, where 23 eye-witness accounts of a "monster bear" or (as many of the local children called him, "Mor'du") were sighted. SCP-69616 was believed to be the "monster bear" and was to be tranquilized for further inspection. Agents were then assaulted by SCP-69615 with a custom-made maple wood bow and quiver of arrows. Agent ████ was able to incapacitate SCP-69615, 69616, 69616-A, 69616-B and 69616-C with a minor sedative.

The "Monster Bear" was later captured and labeled as SCP-69618

Addendum 2: Investigation Summary

[June 10, 20XX] - Reports of the "Monster Bear" Investigation have led Agent ████ to coordinates [DATA EXPUNGED], as previously informed by SCP-69615. There appears to be a small cottage built with old stone and grass and a wooden door on the front (labeled Location-69615-88-01). Inside lies a cauldron lifted up from a harness attached to the ceiling over an unlit fireplace and a stool with three different empty beakers sitting beside the cauldron. No other strange phenomena have been reported from this location, nor it there any kind of signals, be it mechanical, psionic spiritual or otherwise. Location-69615-88-01 has since been declared a safe zone and will remain under inspection until any phenomena is sighted.

[June 11, 20XX] - Investigation of the last known residence of SCP-69615 in ███████ in the Northern Scottish Highlands. The layout of the manner dictates much respect from local village. As of Addendum 1, the manor has been left with no residence and is kept solely on inherital funds. Photographs and portraits show that the previous owners was in ████ ███████ (called "the Bear King" by local citizens), his wife █████, three small identical boys with red hair and blue eyes and SCP-69615. The current whereabouts of ████ ███████ is currently unknown, but local townsfolk have claimed that he was the first to survive an encounter with SCP-69618, and has presumably perished in a second encounter. One of the more unusual factors found was that the entire house was full of bear memorabilia, ranging from grizzly bear taxidermy, bear-skin rugs, paintings of bears and countless bear-themed items carved out of wood. SCP-69615 claims that everything that was made of wood was from the "witch".

Addendum 3: Incident Report
[August 13, 20XX]
Supervising Officer ████ ███████, Sector-23, Clearance Level 3 Reporting.

Rapunzel, (SCP-69614) was painting a portrait of me. I told her I didn't want to, but then again I may as well kick a puppy. You just can't do it with someone like her. I was assigned with supervising her after tests were finished and this sort of thing wasn't really AGAINST anything in protocol. Besides, she's not that bad either. Looked just like me. Though if I'm being honest, she didn't get my nose right.

Anyway, we both decided to take a break and I escorted her to the lunch-room and there she first saw SCP-69615. She was new to the facility and was moody. I get that. I hear she wasn't brought here willingly either. Rapunzel went up to her and tried to have a conversation with her. At first unwilling Merida (as she wishes to be called) soon cooperated and within 30 minutes, they were laughing and Rapunzel even invited Merida over for a "sleepover". Honestly, I'm not sure whether this was against protocol or not, considering that though they are free-roaming, they are still issued a curfew. I was able to talk with ████ ███████,who was looking after Merida for the time being and he told me he would be able to receive permission from the good Dr.

Rapunzel asked the Chef in that way that she does if he could prepare them a pepperoni pizza. Funny really. She didn't even know what a pizza was before Merida asked if they could have some.

They both were dressed in their facility-issued sleep-wear and spent the rest of the night doing various girl-things. Pillow-fights, stories, and so on. They didn't have a TV, so no scary movies. It's a shame really.

By the time the both of them were to be issued for testing, they both were finally asleep. The Dr was pissed, but honestly, nobody likes him anyway.
