Nguyen is a supporting character of the We Bare Bears franchise.
As the tallest and most experienced member of the Poppies, Nguyen is the second-in-command of the Poppy Rangers, and like her fellow Poppies, Nguyen is a brave and adventurous little girl scout/park ranger and troop who has a close friendship with Ranger Tabes and the bears, more especially Grizzly, and aspires to grow up and become a principal dancer in the future. Nguyen shows high commitment to her aforementioned fellow Poppy Rangers, but Nguyen is more silent and confident, yet more wise and mature than the other Poppy Rangers, like Parker. Additionally, Nguyen has more hyperawareness than the other Poppies. Outside of her career as a park ranger like Ranger Tabes, Nguyen is typically seen casually playing with the other Poppy Rangers and having fun, more especially by having tissue and pillow fights with the other Poppy Rangers, and/or flying kites with them.
Ngyuen is voiced by Audrey Huynh, who also voices Stella Cho from XO, Kitty, Kim Jun-hee in the English dub of Squid Game, and the Namashitas from The Boss Baby: Back in Business.
Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In general[]
- Nguyen is a supportive, affable and dedicated girl who is heavily beneficial in numerous situations, showing high loyalty towards her fellow Poppy Rangers and more especially, Ranger Tabes and Grizz Bear, and Nguyen is almost never overconfident and incompetent in her heroism compared to the aforementioned two, respectively, as with the other Poppies.
- Nguyen typically follows all of Ranger Tabes and Grizzly's commands, regardless of the severe consequences that await from their commands.
- Despite showing clear awareness of and low patience with Grizz's moral flaws, Nguyen builds a huge friendship towards Grizz Bear, even though she was astonished to encounter him for the first time, frantically yelling out "A bear with a backpack!" upon first meeting Grizz, equivalent to Chloe's first interaction with the three bears. Additionally, Murphy even refers him as "Bear Guy," "Mr. Bear" or "Mr. Bear Guy" rather than just aliasing him as a traditional bear animal by basically calling him "Bear," like the other Poppies, which references Grizz and his fellow bear brothers' philanthropic interaction with the human race.
- While Nguyen likely sounded a bit too arrogant on bragging about Grizz's incompetence and how he managed to start a series of flames that were otherwise impossible to do so while attaining the other previous Camping Poppy Badges before attempting to attain the Island Camping Badges, as well as having a wrathful outburst towards Grizz for foiling the last-ditch effort to hunt for food by attempting to shoot a bird with a flare gun to use it for nutrition, both instances are heavily understandable because both moments are for Grizz to reform from his incompetence, as Grizz started a fire while attaining the Forest Camping Badge, which would have started a forest fire.
- Nguyen is a voice of pure reason in several occasions:
- When Ranger Tabes encourages Nguyen and the other Poppies to explore the Howling Mountain Cave for the Spelunking Badge, Nguyen and the other Poppies were reluctant on it and tried to reason with her, with Nguyen confessing to Tabes that the Spelunking Badge is not worth it for embarking through the formidable Howling Mountain Cave, fearing the danger they will get themselves into (and sided with Grizz in deciding to take the safer and lighter route of the cave), such as being eventually stranded in the cave, and Ranger Tabes felt insecure and worthless when they did get stranded, but Nguyen encouraged her that she is still an excellent forest ranger, motivating Tabes into optimism and getting herself, Grizz, Nguyen and the other Poppy Rangers out of the Howling Mountain Cave before it collapsed on them.
- After the Ranger War in the episode, Lord of the Poppies, Nguyen was reluctant on eating Grizz, even though she and the other Poppies kidnapped him in the first place to do so, but this was out of insanity from immense starvation, and even Grizz himself allowed Nguyen and the Poppies to devour him in order to keep them alive, so this is understandable.
- Despite being dismissive of Grizz and his incompetence in the annual Peewee Ranger Games, Nguyen eventually motivates and encourages him to defeat the Ivy Rangers, and feels remorseful of dismissing Grizz and his initial lack of skill in the annual game, more especially through cheerleading, in which Grizz reforms his incompetence because of this, a sentiment that would go on over the course of the series.
Her actions[]
- Nguyen and Wallace prepared the fire extinguisher while Diaz and Grizz prepare the campfire, in case if Grizz unintentionally causes another fire and states that "he didn't do it," which would potentially cause an island fire if the campfire spreads everywhere.
- Nguyen was the one to alter Grizz that Wallace is outside flying her kite in the Hurricane Hal, prompting Grizz, Nguyen and the other Poppies to save Wallace from the aforementioned hurricane.
- Nguyen, alongside the other Poppy Rangers and their fellow commander, Ranger Tabes, assisted Grizz Bear, Ice Bear and Panda Bear in defeating Agent Trout, leading to his well-deserved imprisonment and preventing Trout from unlawfully capturing and torturing the three Bears.
- While Ranger Tabes and Grizz are more admirable than Nguyen and the other Poppies throughout the series, both of them have far more resources than Nguyen as Tabes and Grizz boast almost superhuman physical strength, and the latter even possesses sharp claws and the ability to unleash a loud and devastating roar. Meanwhile, Nguyen is just a little girl with genius-level intelligence and expert usage of spikesmanship.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- Although she had done a series of admirable actions throughout the series, Nguyen still manages to fail the admirable standards to Grizz, who saved dozens of endangered grizzly bears from a wildfire, and Ranger Tabes, who prevented Norm from annihilating the forest, and summoned the Ranger Con Rangers to imprison Norm to prevent the latter from causing even more chaos, and performed even more admirable actions throughout the series, among others.
- Despite Nguyen's aforementioned loyalty towards the other Poppies, Nguyen is still eager and arrogant enough to still argue and bicker with the other Poppies from time to time.
- Nguyen has the least patience of Grizz's incompetence, like Wallace.
- Nguyen is dissociative and lethal to be qualified as PG, as demonstrated in several moments:
- This is demonstrated in the infamous scene in the episode, Lord of the Poppies, where she and the other Poppies fall into insanity after succumbing to immense starvation and having had enough of Grizz's incompetence in attempting to nourish them, where Nguyen and the Poppies go as far as turning against Grizz and attempting to devour him.
- Nguyen is also shown to be a control freak, which is what further extends her signs of being lethal, especially through the brutal Ranger War, where Nguyen insulted and brutally fought the other Poppies for the guidebook to attain leadership, just to rule over the other Poppies out of ruthless abuse of power.
- During the Ranger War, Nguyen went as far as throwing wooden spikes toward Diaz for the guidebook, which heavily endangered the latter.
- Even before the Ranger War, Nguyen threatened to boil Grizz into stew without visible signs of remorse for it.
Trivia[]
- Along with the other Poppies, Nguyen was originally classified as a Heroic Benchmark, but when the brilliance of her saving Wallace from the Hurricane Hal, notifying Grizz that Wallace was flying her kite outside in the aforementioned hurricane, and offering a positive influence to Grizz and Ranger Tabes with even fewer resources was pointed out, Nguyen was eventually approved as Near Pure Good.
