Bear dad thinks his new little girl is made of sunshine and rainbows and can do no wrong. Everything that makes her scared or cry needs to be beaten into a bloody mudhole...you go bear dad. Aside from the vocabulary slips he is the perfect father figure.
@Anitvenomz had a feeling that might be taken wrong. I meant her personality and strength is probably unattractive to any of the noblemen who would likely be "qualified" to court a duchess or desiring to strengthen bonds between the Salvatore family and their own. I can't see Duchess bowing to any man, royalty aside, and I suspect that there are quite a number of noblemen who would find this unacceptable.
