Almost certainly either Blackhand or Steinarr, they're the only two family members we know spent time in the area.
That seems extremely risky.

Power demands sacrifice. And we've been adding animals to our soul for a while now.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
Thus far adding animals to our soul has gained us no power at all. The idea that it will is purely speculative and not very likely, IMO.
Like, I think it's necessary to make our soulscape work properly, which is a power thing, but specific animals don't do anything, I don't think.

I think there'd be some vague indication even with them being chumps. There being literally nothing means that there's no direct power gain for animals, or not any we know how to access anyway.

Keeping it in our soul is potentially a good way of keeping it from harming others as we try to mend it and help it not be such a threat. I'd love to make an owlbear friend, and while it might set us back a little in spiritual cultivation, I don't think it could actually kill us from inside? Just potentially kill our animals in there.
Then we could spend time visiting it and trying to make friends and peace offerings, feed it odr filled honey-rats, etc.

It might not directly add to Halla's cultivation, but it does seem like it could plausibly serve as a good stress test of the spiritual ecosystem she has going, seeing how robust it is to big disturbances like 'suddenly there is a bear'. Developing that sort of robustness does seem like it could be helpful.

I'm not at all sure it couldn't kill us from inside...I'm pretty sure evidence is that it 100% could based on the dangers we've heard of with soulscapes. Blackhand being there does make that a more difficult task for it, though.
Hey Blackhand, you wanted us to leave this creature alive, what do you think we should actually do with it?
- Pronouns
- He/Him
He didn't say we had to leave it alone, just not kill it. I'm a bit unclear what he wants us to do with it, though, hence my own question above.
I'd be down for keeping it in our soulscape. We can always take it out again if it's causing a ruckus.
Also we should reattach its missing arm, I feel bad.
[X] Plan We Caught a Pokemon
-[X] Reattach the bear's missing arm by cutting a thin layer of the Steel-afflicted tissue away on both sides, then gluing it together with healing clay.
-[X] Stick it into our Soulscape until we can work out what to do with it.
-[X] If it causes problems, then take it out again.
EDIT:
So this is definitely meant to be a cue that the bear's mannerisms remind us of someone in our family or friends - more likely to be family.

I'm not sure we need Healing Clay for this? We have a lot of other healing magic.
Per Discord I think it's just a joke that it's in the Yamcha pose.

We can't do that. The limb was cut with Steel and therefore the wound is permanent and cannot be healed if I recall how Steel works correctly.
We can slice a thin layer of the cut surface off, then reattach that - this is the procedure for healing wounds caused by Steel IIRC.
I mean sure, but it feels like a good sort of "glue" for healing stuff. Also some of our other healing magic might wake it up.

Eh...we can regrow limbs, I think with our level of Seidr we can work around that by cutting the limb off again a bit higher and regrowing it from scratch. But yeah, reattaching is probably not an option per se.
@Imperial Fister two questions:
1. As mentioned above, what does Blackhand say about what we should do?
2. How would we heal the damage the bear has taken if we wanted to? Would it require any resource expenditures?
The layer of flesh you need to remove so Steel-caused wounds can heal is not that large, IIRC. Should be doable, and Healing Clay can act as a flesh-substrate to replace any lost material as it heals. That's actually a good reason to use it specifically and not other magic.

A what? I'm confused.
Probably Tekken, the fighting game with a main character in the game adopting a bear as a family member.

Ah! Then possibly? Or it bit him and drank some blood? Really, who knows what happened.

By consuming the bear's blood, by making it a part of yourself, you gain the ability to submerge yourself in fire. The only difference between your flesh and flame is the current state it is in, which you can swap between freely.
As a direct consequence, should you so choose to imbibe it, you gain +9 Resist as a matter of fact as well as a factor of regeneration. However, you take triple damage against the traditional foes of Fire. This does not include all the potential non-combat uses you may find for it.
I'll say it wouldn't and that the current plan handles it well
'I'm about 90% certain that I've seen this bear, specifically, before. I'll need to spend a bit more time around it to make certain, though.'

Speaks Words of Wisdom... On occasion
So, it turns us into a One Piece style Logia, but in return our Weakness to Water upgrades another notch?
Whomst among us can judge a man who falls for the tender charms of a she-bear?
After all, to quote the words of famous romance author (best known for other work) Saddam Hussein:
Let's not be too quick to judge Blackhand when we too, after all, also married a bear...
