Name:
Cailin.
This name actually has no specific meaning. It's a male version of the name Caitlin, which I believe is Irish? In origin. However, when I see the name Cailin, I think of something exactly like him- grey, white, and loves the sea. I just think it fits him, and that's what matters the most to me.

Gender:
Male. That's what I see him as.

JBD's companion/pet:
Cailin's companion is a small fish. It's actually a remora, or a small fish that attaches itself onto other larger fish in order to get a free ride. However they can swim quite well on their own. Cailin loves his remora, named Cirrai, or Rai for short. One of the things he does quite often is stick his hand inside Rai's cage. He likes to feel the roughness of the fish sticking onto him c:

JBD's theme song:
Wildwood Flower by the Carter Family- a beautiful song that Cailin loves.

Extra 1- About Cailin:
This is an excerpt form many things that Cailin has written, for example, job applications and such. Here you'll learn about his hobbies, what he likes and doesn't like, and his personality. However so that it's not like 3 extras in one, I've combined it into one paragraph. It's told in his point of view, so you get a picture of what he's like in everyday life.

"Hi! I'm Cailin. I'm a Jellybean Dragon, as you can see. What, my tail? Yeah, it's not exactly normal. I really love it though, along with I also have a horn. Just in case you haven't noticed! I think it's because of my tail or something, but I love swimming. It takes all your worries away, and I'm just a good swimmer. I'm faster then just about everyone else, too, but the strange thing about me tis that I only like swimming in saltwater. The sea and I were made for each other, apparently. I also collect shells. I know, a weird hobby for a guy, right? But actually, I have so many different kinds! After I get to 200 shells, I'd like to make a giant collage out of all of them, and hang it in my room. I live in Alaska, in case you were wondering, because I love the coldness. Actually I can't stand when it's warm, which is why I swim in cold water like the sea. Amethyst complains when I take up too much water in the shower, even though I'm not even using the hot water! You know what I love? Stained glass windows! Their colors shine so brightly and I love looking at scenes that have been made. My dream is to become a stained glass window artist. I do it regularly at a class. My favorite is an image of a seabird diving in the water, because it shines so brightly when the sun hits it! I love all colors, actually.
I probably sound pretty weird right now. My friends say I'm really chatty and friendly. I'm a bit of a rugged loner, if I do say so myself. I just make a few friends and then stay away from everyone else. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I like to be alone a lot. It helps me think. My favorite place to think is atop a glacier that I live nearby. It's really cool! Sometimes it moans during the night though, which I hate. I actually dislike anything that makes creepy and eerie noises. Along with people that pretend that they know everything, but they actually don't. What I do on my glacier? Sorry, I got off track a bit there. I think, like I said before, but I also really enjoy painting. Usually I just paint or sketch in monotones, but I also like adding red and orange hues. Don't worry, my art doesn't look evil!"

Extra 2- Cirrai's Story:
For this extra I decided to do how Cailin and Cirrai met, and why Cailin caught him.

It was a dark and stormy night- not exactly. It was a cold and dark night, but there was no sign of a storm anywhere. Nobody in their right mind would be out- of course, that was the problem with Cailin. He always did the opposite of what everyone else did. A chrome-colored JBD was standing on the edge of a large and potentially dangerous cliff. This would be Cailin. He seemed cold- he was shivering. However, he gripped a pencil in his hand and it was moving surely, steadily. The white paper in front of him seemed to grow these extra lines, until the lines and dashes and dots formed a beautiful picture of the Aura Borealis, or a beautiful occurrence in the night sky where he lived, Alaska.
Cailin stuck his tongue out of his mouth, concentrating. This was the particularity tricky part... His pencil moved over the paper as if guided by some force. He nodded, satisfied, and stepped back to view his work. As he did, a big gust of wind beat its' fury on him, and the paper was hurled into the sky. "No!" He shouted with a cry. His work couldn't be lost! But the wind slowed and stopped, allowing him an outline of the paper before it drifted away into the tides.
Clenching his teeth, Cailin raced down the mountaintop as fast as he could. He pushed past the green bramble that threatened to trip him, and nearly did trip once when a stone dislodged from underneath his feet. He uttered a curse, but regained his footing. It was probably only a minute after his drawing had been stolen away that he arrived at the base where the sea connected to the rocks, but it felt like so much more. He gritted his teeth and dived into the water.
The cold ocean water hit him like a bucket of cold water. He shuddered, trying to warm up. A few bubbles came out of his mouth, other them that it was very quiet and dark underneath the water, as it usually was. In the summer, when there was a lot of sun, you could see all sorts of creatures, but a cold early spring as it had been- well, the water was dark.
Blinking a few times, Cailin used his powerful tail to propel himself through the water like a torpedo. His paws, webbed as they were, caught against the water. He fought to keep going. Well, at least he was warm.
Ahead of him he saw a flash that quickly sank. It was his painting! He dived deeper until he realized he couldn't hold his breath any longer. He flipped over and started clawing his way to the surface. The water broke open at his head's insistence and he gulped air hungrily. Then, with one last deep swallow, he dived down.
Deeper, deeper. There was nothing here now but bones and rock and ice. And then a bright white in the gloom in front of him, this must be his paper. He grabbed for it clumsily, but one of his claws latched on and he started diving back to the surface.
He was astonished at how far he'd come out. He shook his head and his rugged fur sprayed water all over the ocean, letting him not exactly how cold he really was. With a resigned sigh, he transferred the paper to his mouth and started swimming.
As he approached, he noticed an odd sound, almost like a wet slapping. He followed the noise to the shore, where the water met the rocks, and came upon a small little fish. It was the width of his paw, small and brown, with a large circular sucker on the top of it's head. It was breathing, but barely.
He cooed. "Aww! How did you get here?" He didn't expect it answer, but he knew from the looks of it, it wasn't supposed to be in Alaska. Picking it up gently, he carried it to the water. The cold did little to help it, so he set off back home, thinking about a nema, and how he could get this fish alive again.
Behind him, the silhouette of a white sheet of paper floating in the wind against the Aura Borealis.

Xavier, "bright, splendid"
From the first time I saw this boy, I saw a certain fire in those eyes that just sparkled with adventure. Well... although that is 1000% true, I can't say that I did all this research before deciding on the name. In actuality, when I looked at him, Xavier was the first thing that came into my mind. There was something special about that face that had my brain connect it with that name. Such a dashing name...

Image
Male

Image
He has a rather.... strange companion. His name is Bubby, and he is a seal with wings! Yes, a seal with wings. Neither Bubby nor Xavier know where Bubby got his wings, all they know is that Bubby was not born with them. He is around the size of a miniature schnauzer (12 pounds), and has small black eyes. His pelt is a medium tone of gray but has some white splotches randomly dabbling on it. Bubby is very laid-back and friendly, but can sometimes be a bit clingy to Xavier because when he's alone he is sometimes made fun of for his wings (sometimes others just think they're cool, but he doesn't like taking chances).

Image
Green Day - Time of Your Life
When I first saw Xavier, this was the song that I was listening to. As I gazed over him, the song just seemed to fit him. In my opinion, the song is about letting someone or something go to go and have an adventure or something of the sort, and I... I just saw that look in his eyes. A look of yearning for adventure, but having to let someone/thing go in the process.

Image

Xavier wrote:Have you ever longed for something? Oh, surely you have. When you were a little bean on Christmas, woken up hours too early, did you not lie awake wanting to go and open your gifts? If you say you haven't, I'm certain you must be lying. Anyway, since I can remember I've yearned for adventure. That might not seem like such a huge thing for you, but to me my entire being was put on hold until I was able to get out. This was postponed for many years, for the sole reason that I was terrified of the unknown. Quite contradictory, eh?


It was nearly midnight, but the silhouette of a small bean was visible in the moonlight. He lay swirling his horn in the water as the shimmering waves crashed up and came to a stop right before reaching his paws. The moonlight danced joyously all over his pelt. Hee paused his horn upon hearing a noise, looking up cautiously and instantly bolted into the water when he thought he saw something., leaving only his dull pawprints as evidence of his being there. But those prints were soon swallowed by the ocean, just as he had been. After a few minutes had passed with no one claiming ownership of the noises, he stuck his head tentatively out of the water. As he became more comfortable, he brought more and more of his body up out of the water, his long tail trailing behind him sullenly. He positioned himself on his hind legs, and he watched as the moon was uncovered by the clouds that had just passed before it.

Finally he spoke, "No one would dare question the authority of Mother moon or Father ocean," he kept his gaze fixed upon those he was addressing, "Then how come they do not see me in the same light? And why can I not bring myself to leave this wretched place?" his voice shook and diminished with the second question. Once he was done he walked slowly across the sand towards his home, an intricately designed, sea-facing cavern carved for him by his father himself. His mother and father both watched at him sadly, they knew the one thing he wanted. Yet they could do nothing about it, for it was his own fear holding him back. This same routine had gone on for years, and as their son grew older they could only hope that one day he would overcome his fear.

He would go about his everyday life as normal, but every night he would come back to his sacred spot by the ocean, where he could speak openly to his parents. Sometimes when he was lucky, his father would whisper things to him, but his mother always remained silent. He didn't mind, she had, after all, given him life. Unbeknownst to the bean, the true reason his parents only spoke to him in subtle whispers was that they were not true forms.

Upon arriving at the shore one day, something was different. Perhaps it was that his mother shined a little brighter, or that his father seemed a little more excited. He couldn't be sure, but... wait, maybe the change was within him. After all, the day's events had made him feel differently. That day he had been walking along the shoreline when a baby whale washed up. When he saw the huge creature nearly motionless, he bounded towards it. It looked as though it wasn't going to make it any further, so instantly he started pressing his body up against the babies, trying to get it back to the water. The little whale looked up at him and gave him a smile, "Stop, please." When he heard the voice he stopped in surprise. He looked down and gave it a puzzled look, "But child, don't you want to go back into the ocean?" the whale laughed, "Child? Sonny, I could fit about twenty of your age in mine!" He gave a wheezy laugh, "I-I've already h-had my adventures," he weakly smiled, breath running out fast, "but you look t-t-t-too young to have had many? So I want you to promise me something," He bent down next to the old whale, "Yes? Anything!" The whale smiled, "Go have a ton of adventures for me. And always remember your pal Squabbles, who you knew for about t-t-two seconds," He giggled, "I promise," the whale smiled and then passed.

He sat excitedly at the shore, barely able to control himself, and once he had calmed himself down enough he announced, "I," he paused a bit before continuing, "I am ready". Those were the only words that left his lips that night. But when they had left them, the moon smiled upon her son, and with a soft kiss from an ocean breeze, he heard, "Go have an adventure". The teenage bean nodded with understanding, a teary smile spread across his face. With that, he dove into the fresh water of the night, ready to have the time of his life. One thing was certain, it was going to be one heck of a ride.

"Hi there! What's your name?"
Xavier wrote:Sir Xavier XXXIVIIII, at your service. -bows-


"Alright so, Xavier, could you describe yourself to us?"
Xavier wrote:Why, yes, I can! I've been told that I'm a bit of a jokester and a prankster -laughs-, and I believe it because I just love seeing other beans laughing! I would also say that I'm a huge ocean-lover and adventurer, and a tad bit fearless too!


"Are you afraid of anything? And if so, of what?"
Xavier wrote:Well, I just said I was fearless...


"No, you said you were a tad bit fearless,"
Xavier wrote:Fine, fine, you got me. I used to be afraid of something, but that was a long time ago. Even before all of my adventures.


"If you don't mind my asking, why do you keep talking about adventure?"
Xavier wrote:Woah there, a world without adventure is like... Not having a world at all! Before I left home and started having adventures, I didn't know what life was like! It was my fear of change that stopped me from going sooner, and once I did... -sighs contently- You better believe I knew it was worth it.


"I can tell you are very passionate about adventure, would you mind telling us about your favorite adventure? "
Xavier wrote:You can't just pick a favorite adventure... I like to think that they pick you. -giggles- I know that sounds silly, but that's what happened with my first. In fact, my first adventure was when I met Bubby! He was stuck under a rock, submerged with water, and he was about out of oxygen when I found him and got him out. It took me a few days to nurse him back to health, but during that time I got to know him quite well, and we become best friends! Turned out that he loved adventure as much as I did!


What are some standards you set for yourself?
Xavier wrote:Actually, I do set some. I want to keep my mother and father proud of me, especially because they can see me a lot. -cough- Anyway, I always try to be a gentleman, but sometimes that doesn't work. -laughs-


Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
Xavier wrote:Maybe I'll have settled down with a special someone in my life? I really have no idea. But I do know that I'll still be with Bubby, and of course we'll still have many adventures together!


"Aw, that's so sweet! What are some of your goals?"
Xavier wrote:Ooooh, oohhhh, ohhhh! One of them is to definitely to touch the bottom of the ocean, that would be super cool! Oh, and another one would be to climb inside a volcano! -wide eyes- I've always wanted to see how h-


"Xavier, I don't think that would be such a great idea. But... It's nice you have such... Unique goals! So what are some things that excite you?
Xavier wrote:Playing pranks, laughter, little beans... Hm... Oh! Sugar. Sugar always gets me super hyper.


"Sugar? I love sugar, gets me a little crazy too. Is that your favorite food as well?
Xavier wrote:Uh, no. ^^' I love sugar, but by far my favorite food is fish. Arctic cod, Cuttlefish, any type really!


"Ah, I'm not too keen on fish myself, I'm glad there's someone eating it! Now, what is one thing you regret?
Xavier wrote:Good! More for me then -laughs- Oh! Oh! I know this... Nevermind. I got nuthin'. I'll tell you one thing I don't regret though, taking tons of pictures of my adventures! That way I can remember them forever.


"Pictures are the best! You seem to be the type to like superheros am I right? Of course I am, if you could be a superhero, what would be your power and what would you call yourself?"
Xavier wrote:Now, this is a silly question. I mean seriously, I've thought about this question way too much for it to even pose a challenge. I would fly, obviously, so I could be with Bubby! And c'mon, flying would be totally awesome! My name would be either Sir Narwhalipus or Super Narwhalipus. I dunno why, it just sounds cool! -flails with excitement-


"Thank you so much for your time Xavier, do you have any last words?"
Xavier wrote:Any last words? That sounds like you're about to kill me. -mock terror-


"Oh no no, I didn't mean it like that!"
Xavier wrote:-laughs- Don't worry about it I'm just messing with you. ^^ This was fun, we should do it again sometime.


"Yes, we should. Thank you for your time Xavier."
Xavier wrote:No problemo mi amigo! It was my pleasure. ^^ -shakes paw-

(I am really sorry for this, but I am dropping out. I don't feel like I stand that good of a chance in this competition, and I already have so much stuff I need to get done that I don't want to stress myself over being able to get my schoolwork done and my entry done.

He is an amazing bean, and as much as I'd like to try out for him I just can't bring myself to.

I'm really sorry. ;-;)
