GUS: Gus is a 39 year old Polar Bear who have lived on the North Pole his entire life. As a predator of the bear variety he has always been a loner, minding his own business and staying away from anyone he wasn’t looking to eat. In his own opinion he is a bit of a bad ass and back when things were normal - that was probably true. But as the temperatures rise and the ice is melting it has become apparent that he is really a very sensitive guy and not very bad ass at coping with change. Rather, he gets increasingly sad and uncomfortable as the North Pole transforms from the solitude ice paradise it used to and becomes a social hub for tourists and penguins immigrated from the South Pole.
Along with the ice Gus’ privacy is rapidly disappearing. He is forced into social situations, which he hates and has to resort to his preferred solution - the bottle. When he is drunk he doesn’t feel the agony and miss the good old days as much. In fact he becomes confident, extrovert and active. On a good binge he can both fight the penguins and ignore the gawking tourists photographing him. When he is drunk his old fighting spirit strikes back and he’s ready to take on the entire world. In elevated moments like that he becomes hell bend on stopping Global Warming and bringing things back to normal.
When bumping into Daisy it’s the first time he meets a kindred spirit. Another person who wants to stop Global Warming is exactly what he needs to be yanked out inaction. Despite the fact that he finds her more annoying than anyone he ever met, he sees her as an important part of the solution to his problems. She can bring him into the human world and Gus expects she can provide useful advice on how to deal with the strange humans.

DAISY: Daisy is a 22 year old girl. She is catastrophically dyslexic, have the most naive beliefs and had such a hard time in high school that she decided to drop out. Daisy is originally from England but she has travelled the world since she left high School in favour of saving the world. Daisy is very social. She loves hanging out with anyone: people, animals or trees they all deserve her wonderful personality. She just loves being a part of a group. However that is not something she’s had a lot of experience with since everyone she meets tries to escape her. That is probably why she is so into tree hugging. Trees are firmly rooted in the ground and therefore have become her most frequent and favorite friends. Daisy is a member of an organisation called Fuck For Forest. The aim of the organisation is to to save the forests of the world and the way the members go about this is making eco friendly outdoor porn, sell it online and let all the profits go to saving trees. When joining Fuck For Forest, Daisy wasn’t quite able to read the charter so she now believes that the more sex you have the more trees will grow. Therefore she has travelled to the North pole because here there aren’t any trees at all. Ever since she joined the organisation she has felt her popularity decrease and now she wants to rectify herself by delivering the most spectacular result imaginable - a whole continent turned to forest!
When she meets the depressed and crying Gus, she immediately decides to save him as well and make him part of her mission.
