Who Francesca DuClaw is
Francesca is the fifth resident bear, a quiet artist who appears to be made of wood. She introduces herself as a tree and gradually discovers that her memories belong to a wood sculptor instead.
Her workshop turns clutter into pigment and gives you control over decoration color. She is also one of the best examples of how Cozy Grove uses a simple service to reveal a much more personal story.
“A sculptor who thought she was a tree, and your route into recycling and dye.”

What they do for your camp
Recycling, flower pigment, dyes and decoration recoloring.
Where to find them
Island location
South of Patrice’s post office and west of Mr. Kit’s Canteen, among carved trees and a hollow stump.
Notes for the daily round
Complete her second story quest to unlock recycling. Wood, gems and decorations can be broken down, and flower blossoms can become tins of flower pigment.
Her dye shop turns pigment into dyes. Dye is permanent on an item and can be reapplied, but it cannot be removed; preview before you commit.
Do not sell every flower blossom. A stack of common blossoms may be worth more to you as pigment than as a handful of coins, especially once you start decorating.
Story, without the spoilers
Francesca’s story is about art, family, and the difficulty of admitting that you have a self apart from the thing you make. Her father’s work threads through her memories, and her relationship with the other bears becomes clearer as her color returns.
