How They Act:
Before learning the truth about happiness, most Bergens behave as gloomy, pessimistic, and selfish creatures. They often believe the world is a miserable place and that happiness is something they must take from others instead of create themselves.

Bergens are usually serious, grumpy, and dramatic. They can be intimidating because of their size and strength, but their behavior is often driven by insecurity and sadness rather than true confidence. Many act impatiently and aggressively when searching for Trolls, treating them as objects that will solve their problems.

During Troll hunts, Bergens become determined and obsessive. They set traps, search through forests, and use their power to capture Trolls. They celebrate Trollstice as the most important day of the year because they believe eating a Troll will finally make them happy.

However, beneath their rough exterior, many Bergens secretly want the same things as everyone else: friendship, acceptance, love, and a reason to smile. They simply do not understand that happiness cannot be taken from another creature—it has to come from within.
