Hello! My name is
Flying Fox and I am trying out for this beautiful little
boy! I have long liked the tradition of naming beans after food, and
this adorable critter would be no different than my other cuties. I
would call him
Banana Pudding ("Ban" for short); he reminds me very
much of my favorite dessert, which is special to me both for personal
reasons and simply because it's super delicious!

I feel that Ban's personality would be a blend of his parents, with a
dash of something unique, as with most children. He would be very
shy to those who he doesn't know, to the point of hiding behind his
parents or big sister. But if he knows you? The kid would be very
outgoing, having no limits to his energy and enthusiasm. I think he
would have a brave streak, like his mother, and be very willing to
stand up for what he thinks to be right- even if it takes him out of
his comfort zone. He would be very determined and stubborn; not
even his shyness can stop him when he wants something. Like the
rest of his family, he would be fairly smart. What subject his
intelligence lies in would develop as he grew up. Ban would very
much love music of almost every type and would make an effort
to always have some playing. Perhaps he might even learn to play
an instrument. I personally think his favorite would be the drums.
(A loud, noticeable instrument which hides in the back on stage!)
He would enjoy problem solving and I can see him often being found
with parts of his toys scattered all over the floor, him trying to piece
them back together so he could understand how they work. He would
probably be somewhat skilled with abstract types of art, such as
interpretive pieces using more unusual mediums (such as metal, shells,
or bottles). As far as shortcomings, I can see him being a poor writer
and probably reader as well, too easily distracted to focus on words. He
would be easily distracted, thus probably not great at school, despite
that he would actually be pretty smart. I feel he might be closest to his
parents. He would probably be more comfortable with adults, but the
sass of his sister and the riddles his brother weaves would probably
entertain him.

As someone who is most outgoing when around those he knows,
Ban would be very close to his family for the simple reason that
he is most comfortable with them. He would probably spend
most of his time with his parents, learning things from them or
playing games. He would also hang out with his brother, though
he might hide if Thorin were to start talking to strangers, as Ban
is much shyer than his twin. I think he would admire Enika, but
because of that, he'd be a bit more timid of her than the others
members of their family. Her intelligence, bravery, and sarcasm
are what cause him to look up to her.

I've told you how I think Ban would react with his family, but let
me tell you how I imagine his interaction with my own beans. He
would be interacting with them on a regular basis; in fact, they're
all like "adopted" family (with brother-sister bonds). These bonds,
of course, vary depending on the beans. Cupcake is more or less
the "leader" of my band. She is the oldest (or, rather,
acts the
oldest). I think Ban would like her because she is protective and
also sympathetic to the whole "not liking strangers" bit. He likes to
learn, and she likes to teach. They would probably get along well.
He would also probably like Syrup. I can see Syrup allowing the kid
to take his mechanical-things apart and try to piece them back
together. The older bean would probably confuse and sometimes
even bore Ban with his weird talking and if the child no longer felt
like tinkering. I think he would almost completely avoid Oreo, for
the black and white dragon is simply too outgoing and straight-
forward. Maybe when Oreo is painting Ban might show interest,
but otherwise Oreo is not his favorite "brother". Then we come
to Sato. Sato would probably remind Ban of his actual brother,
who is also mischievous. But considering Sato is usually off with
his own twin, I'm not sure how much Ban would get to play with
him, and when he did, he would probably be double teamed
(unless Thorin was with him. Twins vs twins!). I think he would like
Sato, when he is in calm-ish mode and separated from Sake. They
would probably play well. Aside from Thorin, Sato would probably
be one of the few kids his age that Ban would get along with.
I can only imagine his tolerance for mischief is higher than most.

Ban has many favorite things! Here is a list of some random favorites:

Food: Icecream! (Superman flavor)

Element: Water

Animal: Seagulls

Season: Spring

Music Genre: Rock
"Is it so bad to be misunderstood?
Pythagoras was misunderstood, and
Socrates and Jesus, and Copernicus,
and Galileo, and Newton and every
other pure and wise spirit that ever
took flesh.
To be great is to be misunderstood."
-
Ralph Emerson
I made a poem based off of Ban's favorite season!
"It's getting warm out there!
Spring has come from her lair,
Refreshing the world with clean new air.
Emerald things grow in spectacular array,
Birds have love messages to relay,
Unblemished life is on the way!
The water is heating,
The sheep are bleating,
Winter is retreating!
Now a little dragon sits next to Spring.
He asks,
"When will the gull hatchlings take wing?"
She laughs and replies,
"When they learn to sing!"
The child retorts,
"Most people don't like their song,"
Spring gives a frown.
"Well, isn't that just wrong!"
With that, she left.
But she wouldn't be gone long.
What has grown is growing,
What was born is showing,
Those new to this Spring are still quite unknowing.
Survival they yearn!
It's time they learn,
To live is something you earn.
The trees are bright,
There's always light,
Everything's just right!
She returned with the smell of a rose,
With a story yet to tell,
Only to find the dragon a'doze!
She opted not to yell,
But instead poked him on the nose!
"Awaken!"
The child opened his eyes.
"Mmm...bacon...?"
She facepalmed.
"No...I am mistaken...
Return to sleep!"
She watched as he slept,
Surrounded by new buds.
More than just a time,
Spring is the greatest chime!
As a season of start,
Can we really part?
There can be no end
So we'll just pretend
To stop this rhyming trend

Banana Pudding would like accessories! Small
ones, mostly. Little things similar to the trinket
on his dad's tail. He would probably wear a
variety of anklets and bracelets, as well as
necklaces and tail-things (like Sen's). He would
probably prefer things on leather cords. He
would, as a child at least, enjoy putting pieces
on the cords and making the necklaces, bracelets,
ect by himself. They would probably be something
he liked to gift to others. He would also like to
find new ways to wear them, such as around his
ear(s) or muzzle- anything that might be fun!

I shall let Ban assign himself a few "themes",
or things he thinks would either represent
him...or stuff he just finds cool!
