Background = Born and raised in the lush, green jungles of Darkest Peru with his Aunt Lucy and Uncle Pastuzo. Left his home and family to seek a better life in London. Had a difficult journey across the ocean, leading to his arrival at the train station with a label around his neck. The label read "Please take care of this bear. Thank you.", written by his Aunt Lucy before he departed. Paddington arrived in London, hoping off a train in Paddington station, sitting down on his suitcase and waiting. He was told stories of children arriving in London before being taken into the homes of kind people, so he awaited patiently for someone to adopt him. Many people passed by him, assuming he was a child in a costume or a strange mascot, unaware he was a real bear looking for a home. Paddington named himself after the station he arrived at, hoping it would be easier for any potential kind strangers to converse with him. Paddington patiently waited, confident there would be a kind soul who would help out a bear in need.
