Background:
Her background prior to Arcadia is unknown and is therefore, not included here. However, she was taken when she was around twenty years old. She rarely speaks of her time in Arcadia, mainly because she only remembers snapshots and fuzzy images. It is known to some that her keeper maintained the disguise or the appearance of a large black bear. He kidnapped small children, changing them into cubs, and forcing Bolgra to take care of them in a large underground cave system. After being locked away in the dark for so many years, she developed bat perceptions and characteristics.
Bolgra emerged from Arcadia in 1959. She was found wandering the hedge by a Beast named Tomcat. He taught her how to survive in changeling society and bought her a cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. One day Tomcat disappeared; it is assumed the Gentry took him.
Over the next several years, Bolgra made it her purpose to collect as much information about the hedge, the Gentry, and Arcadia. She joined Phoenix's underground changeling railroad in order to help new changelings adjust to the normal world. This mentor position has established Bolgra as a teacher to many in the freehold and it allows her to stress the importance of using and maintaining the magical abilities granted to all changelings.

Quotes
"Bolgra? Well she is one of the few people who actually scares me...plus she is frighteningly agile." - Alex Summers
"So she says she is old...real old...yet, I think I can hear her heart flutter like a 16 year old when I wink at her. This doesn't mean she is always a cordial dame - get on her bad side, and that face will be the last thing in your mind." - Jimmy Quick
"Alway so eager to help, I wager there must be a rather large oven waiting behind the candy coated doors she calls home." - Kyrie
"If there are mysteries to be dealt with, she is the first one I will bring them to. Now, if she would just stop trying to have her rats watch me." - Pyotr Koud Hart
"She means well. As strange as that may sound." - Morgana Damphair
"As much as her rats get in my way, I have to admit she's one sharp lady. And mercilessly concerned about us all, too." - Jax
"Bolgra is a good friend and teacher. She might seem a bit scary and a little creepy, but I believe she's more like the Blue Fairy then the scary witch."- Azlene Mooga
