Okay shire, since we cannot hold it for over a month we'll start judging january 3rd. And that would be less than a month because the bab was made on the 18th. I cannot judge before january because I don't have access to a
laptop

I want him because he is beautiful, his design, though slightly complex is very beautiful. I cannot explain how much it makes me want to draw it. I also have a lot of ideas in the character development area.

- Stubborn

Jelani is a very stubborn bean. He wont accept help when it is given and is determined to do it on his own, even if the job is dangerous. He will always deny when he is struggling and wont even ask for assistance. His stubbornness can be found irritating by others because he wont see their point of view on things, he wont even hear them out. Jelani will only stick by what he believes and refuses to believe anything else

- Aggressive

Jelani can be quite aggressive and rough. He doesn't really mean to, he just has a hard time showing his feelings or trying to get his point across. He tends to snap at his parents and his brother when they ask him to do something he doesn't feel like doing, though he doesn't intend on hurting their feelings by doing this.

- Playful

The young bean is very playful! He loves to play a variety of games with his family and enjoys being active. He likes to play games that include wrestling or action. Some, however, get frustrated or annoyed with him when they play as he can get quite rough especially if it involves physical competition. He never really means to hurt anyone or offend anyone.

- Confident

Jelani is very confident and has a high level of self-esteem. This is good because he doesn't put himself down a lot and he is usually quite happy. His confidence isn't overpowering and is actually quite appealing and refreshing, he lets others know he is okay just by the way he walks. He often takes the lead in certain situations, which can be a little irritating to some but he always asks if he may do so, if he can take charge. His confidence helps him shine through the crowd.

- Sympathetic

Despite Jelani's seemingly rough personality he is extremely sympathetic. If someone comes up to him depressed or hurt he will try his best to help them and make them feel better again. He tries his best to understand even the toughest situations and always offers his help and assistance. He makes for a great listener and is always there if someone needs to talk about something on their mind.

- Bold

Jelani is bright and bold. He stands out amongst the crowd, not only physically but his unique personality shines through. His name and face is one that many remember, and that a lot tend to respect. His confidence is something that makes him stand out, that many recognize and keep him remembered.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H O B B I E S;;

Jelani loves doing a variety of things! He likes to be artistic and loves painting, drawing and sculpting. He still needs practice but he is doing really well for his age. He mostly draws backgrounds and scenery, because he finds peace in nature and it helps him express himself. Another hobby is collecting coins and finding the oldest date he can find. He loves doing this because he finds it interesting, he finds the whole idea of history interesting and that something from so long ago can still be around today.

F E A R S;;

Jelani has a couple of fears, and most of them are your
average fear that nearly everyone gets. However, his
main fear is that he will be left alone with no one. He
is so scared that he will get lost and never find his family
again, or that he will be abandoned.

╚═════════════════════════════════╝

Q U I R K S;;

Jelani has a couple of quirks, who doesn't? But his main one is that he will NEVER stand on a crack in the sidewalk, ever. He is really scared of them. He feels as though if he steps on one the ground will collapse under him and he will fall through the pavement. His family demonstrates to him that such things wont happen but he doesn't believe them and continues to avoid cracks wherever her goes.

Jelani loves rolling in the autumn leaves! He can't resist and does it every time he sees a large leaf pile. Autumn is his favourite season and mostly because he adores playing in the leaves. His parents struggle to pry him away from them as he wishes to continue to roll around until all the leaves are crushed and flat. Sometimes he annoys the neighbours because he jumps in their gardens and destroys their leaf piles.

(Questions)

When I first saw this bean, I fell in love with his design immediately. I just love his purple eyes, red panda-looking design, everything! He is beautiful. I began thinking of character concepts, personality, hobbies, like and dislikes, all the kinds of things you can imagine. But I was hesitant. I was worried that my form wouldn't be good enough, that it could not match that of the other contestants, however, I knew that I had to try out because if I didn't then I would regret it, I am sure of it. I know I would love Jelani as my final bean, because he is perfect in every way. I will put all my effort into this bean, that is guaranteed.

I will always love this bean, no matter what. I can promise you that I can give Jelani the perfect home, where he will constantly be loved and never forgotten. I will always be active with him and shower him with art. He will always be loved.

I can promise that I will be active with him, on both the fan club site and CS. I will role play him frequently, when he is a bit older of course. This will also give me the opportunity to develop his character further and to express his personality. This will give him depth. I will constantly draw him and post the art on here and on DeviantART. I know I can give Jelani the attention and love he deserves.

I am extremely active on CS as I come on here everyday for quite a lot of time. I am also very active on the fan club website and tend to go on the chat and RP in PM, but I also like to RP in the forums as well. I am very active on DeviantART too! And will post most of Jelani's art on there. I promise to be very active with him.

I have a fanclub account that can be found at the top of the page. ^u^

╔═════════════════════════════════╗

F A M I L Y ~ R E L A T I O N S H I P S;;

❥ Koyuki - Mother

Jelani adores his mother and loves to spend time with her. He finds her voice very calming and her words soothing. She is one he knows he can talk to if he feels worried or insecure and that she will understand. He feels as though he has a strong bond with her and that keeps him reassured that she will always care about him like he will for her. Jelani always offers to assist his mother in anything that she is doing, even if it is something that he finds a bit boring. He cares for his mother dearly and loves her company.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Lee - Father

Jelani loves to hang out with his father! They are like two peas in a pod. I would say they are very close as they spend a majority of the time together. He likes learning things from his father, and often asks a lot of questions in hopes that his father knows the answer, and in most cases he does. They tend to play a lot of games together that vary from intellectual activities to physical activities like wrestling and racing. Jelani loves his father and knows that he can trust him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Pokey - Maternal Grandfather

As much as Jelani loves his Grandfather, Pokey, he does find him a little bit confusing. This is only because of Pokey's shy personality and JJ finds it hard to get a massive interaction. However, setting that aside, he loves his Grandfather dearly and knows that he is always there for him whenever needed. Jelani likes to cuddle up to Pokey as he finds him cuddly and soft, and Pokey seems more than happy to oblige.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Yumemi - Maternal Grandmother

Jelani loves spending time with Yumemi. He finds her so fun and interesting, and sees a lot of traits from his mother in her. He knows he can tell her anything that is on his mind and she'd understand. Another reason as to why he loves her is because she feeds him a lot of food! Of course, he loves her regardless, but knows that she will always help him out if he is hungry before dinner. Yumemi and Jelani have a very strong bond.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Kiendra - Paternal Grandmother

Jelani loves Kiendra! He finds her fascinating and loves to follow her around all day. He is very interested in her daily lifestyle and how she does things. The reason for this is because she is quite grumpy and moody and he just wants to cheer her up and make her days brighter. Jelani likes to follow her to her coffee shop, even if she doesn't know he is there, which tends to annoy his parents. He just wants to see her happy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Roxanne - Maternal Aunt

To be honest, Jelani is quite freaked out by Roxanne. It doesn't mean he loves her any less, it's just that he has never seen anyone with a scar before, and it was quite shocking. He doesn't know how she got it but has overheard her talking to the family, he heard some about her past...Jelani felt terrible afterwards, and didn't know how to react around her. He has been warming up to her lately though and hopes that she warms up to him.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Gonzo - Cousin

Jelani hardly knows Gonzo but is very happy to play with him! Gonzo is a little bit younger than Jelani so he finds it a little bit hard to interact with him, but tries his best and is very gentle. He doesn't play too rough with Gonzo and hopes that they will grow a strong bond now that he is in the family.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Skylark - Maternal Aunt

Jelani doesn't really know Skylark well, but when he does see her he tries to play with her and get to know her a bit better. She seems quite happy to play with him and stay in his company, which makes him really happy. Whenever she is alone Jelani will come over and offer to play with her and hopes that she will agree. Skylark is very kind and allows him to play with her, with her joining in of course. They love to play all sorts of games!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Ianto - Maternal Uncle

Hanging out with Ianto wouldn't be normal if not for his sarcasm. Jelani finds it hard to converse due to his uncle's uptight personality, but enjoys his company nevertheless. He likes playing with Ianto though, because he never seems to mind and just accepts the play. Sometimes Jelani feels as though his uncle doesn't like him or his company, but reminds himself otherwise.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Violetta - Maternal Aunt

Violetta and Jelani are amazingly close, they are like siblings! He loves to visit his aunt as often as possible as she is so kind and nurturing to him. She never makes him feel bad about himself and pushes all negativity out of his mind. He has a great respect for his aunt, not to mention she is a great partner in playing games! It is rather mean, but Jelani likes playing pranks on her because she is quite gullible, but it is all in good fun and he never means to hurt her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Sven - Maternal Uncle

Sven and Jelani don't really spend much time together, at least not when they are on their own. If they are attending a family gathering then they will talk to eachother, perhaps have a race or two and just stay in each others company until the event is over. Jelani likes Sven and finds him intriguing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Valli - Paternal Aunt

Valli confuses Jelani a little bit. She does not seem very trusting and seems like she does not want to be around him, or anyone for that matter. This does not mean he doesn't care for her. He respects her and respects her privacy or if she just simply wants to be alone. He wont push her to participate in his activities if she does not want to, but if she does then he is overjoyed! He loves to see her happy and smiling.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Gecko - Paternal Uncle

Jelani loves his uncle Gecko, and loves to annoy him. He tends to play with his tail or wrap himself around his paws, which tends to bug Gecko a lot. Though, despite this, his uncle still likes taking him to the cinema. They enjoy watching films together and altogether have a decent bond.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Nibi - Cousin

Jelani and Nibi get on perfectly! They love to play together and spend time with each other. Nibi is quite a bit older than him, but they still act like they are the same age which is why they find it so easy to be in each others company. However, he doesn't see her very often which makes him a little bit sad.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Marcel - Cousin

Jelani finds his cousin Marcel very interesting, especially in his appearance. He just loves the little tuft on his head and sometimes like to bat it around, which provokes a negative reaction out of Marcel. Sometimes Marcel finds him a bit irritating but they care about each other. Jelani tends to spend a lot of time with him mostly because they are similar in age and he feels like they understand each other.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❥ Marado - Brother

Jelani and Marado are like sibling rivals. They both wrestle for attention and both want to be in the limelight, however, they do share a strong bond and spend a ton of time together. They understand each others strengths and weaknesses, and as brothers they help each other out when times are tough. Marado, being the older brother, tends to take charge and leads Jelani, which annoys Jelani greatly. They come as close as siblings can get and though they tease each other they do still care.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S T O R Y;;

The sun was beading down and glistened through the trees, leaving green beams shining through the forest. The wind was quite calm and was very peaceful. Lee turned around swiftly to see if his children still followed in worry, but to his relief they were. In fact, they were tackling each other playfully and rolling all over the place. "Jelani, Marado, please! We will play once we get to the clearing." He chuckled slightly and turned to his mate, Koyuki, who smiled softly. Both brothers stopped wrestling and huffed angrily as they trudged behind their parents. They all had been walking for about twenty minutes now, trying to find the clearing in the woods. They had been there before Jelani was born, so it was his first time and he was quite excited.

They walked near a river. It glistened beautifully in the sunlight and trickled gently upon the bed of stones. Jelani couldn't stop staring at it, he was amazed! Suddenly, a couple of small fish rushed in the same direction that the river was flowing, their cover blown by the ripples they created. The young bean was fascinated, and with his family not looking at the moment he though he could take a quick look. He padded softly towards the edge of the river bank and looked in, his eyes drifting to each fish in awe. Jelani moved further down the bank to see where the fish were going, however, once he turned back his family wasn't there!

Jelani was now frantic, he didn't know which way to turn. "Mommy! Daddy!" He called out, but it just echoed and returned back to him. He ran further into the forest, his heart now racing with fear and worry. After a few minutes he managed to take a deep breath and calm down. He took note of his surroundings and sat down in the middle of a cluster of trees. A tear fell down his face and he began to cry, which echoed throughout the forest.

Meanwhile, Marado turned around and gasped. He raced to the front of his parents and stopped them. "Jelani, he's gone!" Both Lee and Koyuki's face dropped with fear and they gasped as well. They could not believe what they were hearing and swiftly turned around to see if it was true. It was. All of them began calling Jelani's name, searching behind every rock, climbing every tree. They feared the worst. "JELANI! Where are you?!" Koyuki shouted out throughout the forest, tears streaming down her face as she was sick with worry. Lee took his time and searched slowly, not to miss any detail. Luckily he found a couple small footprints in the forest floor and a smile of relief reached his lips. He could tell they were not Marado's, he was slightly larger than Jelani as he was older, they could only be Jelani's footprints. "Koyuki, quick, look!" He smiled and looked down at the footprints again. His mate came over and sighed with relief.

They all followed the footprints until they reached the small river. There was a layer of mud on the river bank that contained Jelani's footprints, and to his family's relief they lead in a direction. But a fearful thought lingered in the back of Koyuki's mind and trailed forward. "Lee, what if Jelani is in the river? What if h-" Lee stopped his mate there, and looked at her calmly, though hiding his own panic. "Don't worry, we will find him." Giving her reassurance. They continued on with their search.

Jelani was now hungry, thirsty and tired. He feared the worst and wondered if he'd ever get back home, if he'd ever see his family again. He was left there for quite a long time now, unsure of what to do where he should go. He found a bush with a couple of berries on it, they seemed ripened and weren't attached to any nettles. The young bean smiled and took a couple, placing them into his mouth and chewing vigorously. The taste was bitter and he immediately spat out what was left of the berries in disgust. He looked up at the sky, hoping his family would find him.

Lee, Koyuki and Marado felt as though they were getting closer to finding Jelani. They all shouted his name at the same time, hoping that he would hear it and respond. "JELANI!" It echoed through the forest, right into the ears of the person they were trying to find. Jelani leaped up with joy, he couldn't believe it, they had found him! Well, almost..."MOM! DAD!" He called out. The family all heard him and rejoiced, heading in the direction of his voice.

Jelani saw their shadows and ran towards them. They all felt relief. "Oh gosh, I am so glad we found you! We were so worried!" Kayak said, letting out a joyful sigh. "I'm sorry everyone. I didn't mean to, and it won't happen again!" He was too happy to be worried about the consequences, and so was everyone else. "Jelani, we are sorry we didn't keep an eye on you." His parents looked down and nuzzled him. Lee picked up Jelani whilst Koyuki held Marado as they headed home, planning to have a relaxing day.

I looked at Marado. He glared at me with anger burning in his eyes. This is how it all ends, I thought with dread.
He charged towards me with his sharp claws outstretched but I ducked. He missed my neck, only by inches. I looked
around us and realized there was nothing around us. We were in a vast, blinding desert and the sun was high in the sky,
beating its hot rays on our darker fur. I felt the heat and was panting at the effort of dodging Marado's quick attacks.
Marado laughed maniacally and lunged forward. I dashed to the right and he barely missed my tail as I ran around him
in a circle. He growled again and I looked at him, I was not going to let him reach me. If he did, I was done, gone, dead.
He crouched low to the sand like a snake and leaped toward me. As his paws left the burning sand, I lurched forward and
we clashed in midair. He bit my ear and I buried my face in his fur, trying to find somewhere I could bite. He continued to
chew on my ear as I pulled his tail. Then the sand disappeared as I heard a distant voice. I looked around and saw that we
were actually in the living room and Marado and I were just playing. Where the sun used to be was a lamp and the carpet
below our feet had cool, sandy patterns on it. “What?” we said simultaneously to that distant voice. “Dinner is ready.”
Our mother said again; as if we hadn't just been in a desert, fighting for something we both needed, but I couldn't remember.
Maybe for the yummy smelling food? I looked at Marado and he shrugged, then ran to the kitchen to eat some of the dinner
that mom had finished making for us. I wondered if he had imagined as much as I did.

skype/fanclub account?;; Click here
How active will you be?;; I log onto Chickensmoothie everyday, multiple times and draw everyday. Not always digital, but still drawing. (Even though I don't use the drawing program on this website) I plan to draw him a lot and role play, as well. I love to write so he will have lots of little stories about him and his adventures.
What will you do with this bean?;; If I win this adorable bean, I would role play with him, draw him and write about him. He would also have a special place in my heart and would consume much of my time. He would also be in my signature, next to the red pandas who inhabit that place.
Will you love him?;; I will love him to the moon and back. Also, I wouldn't gift him away, so he would have a home with me always.
Why do you want him?;; (Look at my username) I would love to make this little guy my first bean because I really love his design as well as his family. I have always wanted a bean, and when I saw this little guy I flipped out a little because I know that he is the bean that I will try my hardest to win. I want him because red panda's are my favorite thing in the world and I am constantly drawing and doodling them. If Kodai was mine, I could doodle and draw him along with the red pandas and have my own little red panda character. I also believe that with this little fluffy guy, I could work harder drawing and creating things. I have already spent many hours on my form, and will continue spending them for him if I were fortunate enough to win this guy.

Dislikes:
Alligators ● Bees and hornets ● Dark, creepy holes ● Big bodies of water ● Being left alone

Favorites

Favorite foods
The best tasting food in the world to Kodai is raspberries. He loves the tangy and sweet aftertaste of the kind of fuzzy berries. He likes to put them in his claws so that he has one berry on each claw, then eat them off, one by one. He would eat them every day if he could. His second favorite food is clementines. He loves to try to peel the juicy fruit with one peel. Meaning that there is only one long, curving strand of orange peel to throw away before he gobbles up the segments one by one. His favorite drink is orange juice. He likes it best with the pulp because it has a lot more flavor that way.

Favorite game
Kodai’s favorite game is called Bang. The game is played with four to seven players. Each player is given one of the following roles:
● Sheriff
● Deputy to the Sheriff
● Outlaw
● Renegade
The objective of the game is different for every role:
● the Outlaws must kill the Sheriff
● the Sheriff and his Deputies must kill the Outlaws and the Renegade(s);
● each Renegade's objective is to be the last character in play. The Renegade(s) must kill all the characters with the sheriff being the last one dead.
(Thanks to Wikipedia for that explanation)
Kodai loves to be the outlaw because when there are five or more players, there are multiple outlaws who work together against the sheriff and deputies. It involves lots of strategy and some luck. He likes to pretend that his red panda is his fellow outlaw and on his team as he plays.

Frequent sayings
When Kodai loses a game or is disappointed, he yells, “Oh, come on!” But when he wins, he says, “I called it!“ He says that because at the beginning of every game he exclaims "I bet that I will win this time!". Very rarely, he realizes that he is not good at a certain game (Bingo) and says, "Aw man, I'll never win!" After a delicious meal, he tells everybody, “That was the best thing I have ever eaten.”

Preferred paw
Kodai prefers to use his right paw. He usually does, but can (If needed) use his left one. He has his leather pouch on his left arm so that he can open it with his dominant right paw.

►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄ ◆ ►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄

Hobbies
Climbing trees ● Weaving with string ● Looking for things in the forest ● Sleeping

►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄ ◆ ►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄

Fun facts
● He has a little red panda plush
● His nickname is kabuki
● His favorite color is purple
● Kodai's favorite place to be is the forest, preferably in a tree
● He has a small leather pouch on his left arm made by Libertas

Inside my tiny pouch
I know, I know, my pouch isn't that big, but neither is my little red panda. I have a cute little red panda plushie who fits perfectly inside my pouch. When I get bigger, I am going to be able to fit some string in there so that I can weave if I get bored. I could also have some snacks in there, too!


Voice
Being as males voices are usually lower than females, Kodai’s should be, but it isn't. It is a little bit high for a boy, but will lower when he gets older, he is still a baby Jellybean after all. Often times, it cracks and a syllable or two goes way up in tone for a bit, Marado laughs at this.

Size
Kodai is a little bit smaller than other jellybean dragons. But that only makes it easier to hide when he plays hide and go seek. Also, it gives him more places to sleep where others can’t bother him. His arms and legs are small because he is only a baby, but strong for his size.

Quirks
Little Kodai has lots of little habits that are odd and unusual. When he is in a tree or on a ledge, he tends to swing his tail like a the pendulum in a grandfather clock. He also tends to mumble quietly when he is nervous or tired. Another strange thing he does is flick his tail tip every now and then, kind of like a twitch. But the twitch has no pattern, the only consistent thing about it is that it flicks more often when he is nervous or angry. He also keeps his little red panda stuffed animal in his pouch at all times and rubs the plush’s paw in between his small claws when he is nervous or scared. He also wraps his tail around his back paws if he is nervous or feels small. He also likes to count how many seconds between the sound of the thunder until he sees the lightning. When Kodai talks, he moves his paws a lot, which resembles Kabuki. This is like Kabuki because Kabuki is a Japanese way to act using elaborate body movements and gestures to express emotion. He also has a nice voice, but usually only hums or whistles.

An average little morning
This was just a tidbit of a story
“Good morning, kabuki.” My mom said gently as she called me my favorite nickname.
I pranced over to mom happily and saw that she was making a smoothie. I gasped “Mom!! You are making a smoothie!” I said,
stating the obvious. “What flavor it is, mom?” I asked curiously as I dipped my claw into the smoothie and tasted it. It was better
than sitting in the sun while taking nap.“Blueberries and raspberry.” She said as she scooped some blueberries slices and dumped them in. “MMMmm!” I said loudly and rubbed my tummy with my paw. I hollered, “Dad! Did you know that blueberries help
with memory loss? You should eat lots of them! Just kidding!” I said but there was no answer.“Inside voice, Kodai.” My mom
reminded me.“Oh, sorry” I whispered. There was a knock on the door and I jumped. “Could you get that?” My mom asked, and
I trudged the door nervously with my tail sweeping behind me. I opened the door and wrapped my tail around my back paws nervously. My brain started racing all the possible weapons I could use if the bean at the door decided to kidnap me, but then
I saw that it was dad, home from the grocery store. I was about to tackle him, but he had lots of bags and I didn't want to have
to pick them up, or re buy all of the spoiled goods. I opened the door wider for the pile of bags in dad’s arms to fit through the
door. “Thanks.” He said, he was obviously still tired by the way with tail was dragging and his eyes were droopy. “Hi dad!” I
said enthusiastically and waved to him. He nodded and set the bags on the table. We started to put all of the items away into
the cupboards. Marado walked in and helped, too. Mom poured the smoothie into cups and we all drank the tasty smoothie, afterwards I told dad the fun fact about blueberries again and he chuckled.

---Personality---
●Determined●
When Kodai sets his mind to something he wants to do, he will get it done.
His opinions are strong and it is hard to change them, but possible.
Once, he had a debate over which flavor of ice cream was the best;
chocolate, or vanilla. He ended up having an ice cream making contest
to prove that he was right.

●Clever●
Little Kodai is really clever, he has an eye for detail and pays attention
to nearly everything when awake. He notices small things other beans don't, like that one
bean stubbed their paw before coming in because he heard the Oof! He can stitch
together lots of bits and pieces of information to come up with the conclusion that
someone ate shrimp, but threw it up because it was bad.

●Adventurous●
Kodai loves having adventures, whether it be inside his head, in an imaginary world
battling pirates, or out in the woods looking for cool new trinkets. He often imagines
that he and his brother aren't play fighting, but in barren lands with extreme temperatures.

●Imaginative●
Kodai has a very active imagination and often lives in a whole other world filled with
strange creatures and lands. He is always imagining different scenarios of ways to play
games or new creatures. A lot of times, he tries to explain what he's thinking, just to
see the confused expression on others faces, it's priceless.

●Curious●
This is one curious dude. He always asks a lot of questions and is always looking around for
something to do or learn about. He likes to quiz his dad for new knowledge and tries
to stump him with ridiculous riddles. He also likes exploring in new areas, indoors or
outdoors.

●Sleepy●
A lot of the time, Kodai is sleeping. He loves to sleep and take naps when he is tired after an adventure.
He will sleep nearly anywhere. When he is sleeping, he curls up in a ball and uses his tail to keep him warm,
like a red panda does. Kodai loves to sleep in his mom's warm pouch, but will also sleep in a big pile of
fluffy blankets.

●A little shy●
When Kodai is tired, he gets real shy. He might mumble a little if he doesn't feel
like talking to someone he is just meeting. But once he gets comfortable around you and starts to wake up,
he lets go of the timid attitude and starts to tell jokes, even if they are terrible because
he made them up himself. Sometimes, he wished there was enough room to hide behind
his momma with his brother without being seen at all when meeting new beans.

●Jumpy●
When Kodai is spooked, he jumps a couple of inches, he squeaks, too. When he is day
dreaming, or really tired and just spacing out, his brother sometimes pokes him. Kodai
is ripped out of his own little world and pushed into the real one. He jumps and squeaks so loud
that everyone looks at him and he blushes, but Marado just laughs and laughs.

Relationships;;
(From Kodai’s point of view)


►◄》Friend Libertas-
One of my favorite beans in the world is Libertas. He is much older than me, but we are still super close.
I follow him around, and at first it bothered him a little, but he doesn't mind it now. We are really close
and do lots of things together. He even made me a leather zipper pouch to hold small things in. He and
I explore a lot together, too.

►◄》Grandmother Kiendra-
Grandma Kiendra is awesome. I like to give her the little pinkish colored stones I find because it is one
of her favorite colors. They are the same color as her favorite earrings she often wears. She is an awesome
artist and loves to eat chocolate and other pastries. She is more grumpy around older beans, but she loves
little ones. She often slips me candy when no one is looking, it's the best.

►◄》Grandmother Yumemi-
Grandma Yumemi is beautiful with her two colors, pink and white. I love it when we go see her dance on
the stage and she sings her lines in her nice voice. I love her red, black and white kimono that goes great
with her fur.

►◄》Grandfather Pokey-
I love Grandpa Pokey, he is funny with his grumpy bean attitude. I like to try to get him to smile and I can,
it's not as hard as it looks. I like to run around his legs and play card games with him, he has a great poker
face, even though I'm too young to play poker, we can still play Go Fish.

►◄》Aunt Roxanne-
Aunt Roxanne has two different personalities, and I like the timid version better but I still love her either
way. She is sometimes scary to me and we aren't as close as I wish.

►◄》Uncle Ianto-
Well, my family calls Uncle Ianto many things like Stickler, Jones, Coffee Boy or even Jonesy, but I don’t
really understand these. He is very serious and doesn't laugh as much as I want him too at my best jokes.
If anyone needs something, he will be the first to get up and fetch it, it is very… interesting. I like to say
we are close, but he is a bit too serious for me, I like to play more.

►◄》Aunt Violetta-
Don't tell anybody, but Aunt Violetta is the best. She is always caring and kind to everybean. She is gullible
though and she’ll believe anything you say. We are very close and she loves us all to pieces. She is the kindest
bean I know and I will always love to tell her that gullible is written on the ceiling.

►◄》Aunt Skylark-
Aunt Skylark is really nice and plays with me a lot. She lets me play with her tail too, which is fun. She is
kind and quiet, which makes her an awesome listener. I like it when she gets all defensive about her family,
even though that opportunity doesn't arise as much as I'd like it to. Aunt Sky is also pretty smart and I like to
tell her the tidbits of information dada tells me, trying to surprise her with something she didn't know before.
I also like to go to her tree and look at the carvings she engraves into it.

►◄》Uncle Sven-
I don't really know Sven that well but I love his patterns. He had cool orange and brown ovals that look kind
of like huge flower petals. I wish we were closer, but at family gatherings I am too busy wrestling with Marcel
and Marado to make small talk.

►◄》Aunt Valli-
Okay, okay so Valli isn't really family, but she’s close enough. Valli likes children, but prefers to watch rather
than play with me. I like the sound of her voice because it is a nice sound, especially to fall asleep too if I am
tired and need a nap.

►◄》Uncle Geko-
I don't really know Uncle Gecko that well, even though he is Marcel and Nibi's dad. I guess you could say I
haven't really met him. Must be because I spend all of my time, if he's over, playing with Marcel. I say hello and
such, but then Marcel tackles me and the game is on.

►◄》Cousin Gonzo-
Gonzo is very shy. I am always like "hi" and he is like "hi" and then the conversation ends. Gonzo hides in his
mom's pouch a lot and I want him to come out and play with me, but he prefers it in there. I like to tell him
knock knock jokes when he is hiding in his mom's pouch, too.

►◄》Cousin Marcel-
Marcel is really fun to play with and be around. He likes to pat everyone's head and is very social. He and I
are very close and we play together all the time, the best game we play is when we just wrestle on the floor.
It gets even better when Marado comes and plays with us, too.

►◄》Cousin Nibi-
I can't pronounce Nibisonia Koffsi Aguillard's full name at all so I just call her Nibi. She is super protective of
her brother and I don't think she likes it when we play. She does lots of evil pranks to other beans. For example,
she pours marbles on the floor to trip on. She is an angel around her mom though.

►◄》Brother Marado-
I love my amazing big brother Marado, he is a big ball of fluff and love. We play together all the time and we
always are kind. Well, I say always, but you can't not ever fight with your brother, right? If we do fight, we get
over it quickly. He likes to hog all the attention, but it's fun to see his smile when everyone is looking at him.
When he meets someone new, he hides behind mom like a scaredy bean.

►◄》Koyuki Okami-
Best. Mom. Ever. Seriously. Momma is the nicest most cuddliest person ever. She loves children and always lets
me get the flavor of ice cream I want. Sometimes, when I get into trouble, mom can lose her temper, but after
I apologize and we say sorry, we both forget about it quickly. She has a lovely, beautiful singing voice and I think
she could win a huge, grand prize if she entered a singing contest. My mom and I are very close and love to play all
day together.

►◄》Lee Monroe-
I love dad, he is the best. I love how he can answer all of my questions and is super smart. He is the smartest bean
I know and I can see how much he loves all of us by the way he looks at us. He can get angry at others who he
doesn't like, but everybody does that. He always reads me to bed every night in Keindra's house and is always so
kind to me.

« The Giving Tree »



►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄ ◆ ►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄

I walked through the forest that was covered in flowers and many trees and heard a stream nearby. I perked up. The smoothest, cleanest and best stones were always in a river. The water rushes past the stones, smoothing them down and polishing them up. I walked forward and listened for the river. I reached it and walked along the bank, looking for the best one. I heard Libertas walking up behind me. “Hello!” I said, happy that he was here.
“What are you looking for?” He asked as he chewed on a flower. Yeah he eats flowers, it makes his breath better than other bean’s and I’m cool with it.
“Nothing” I said suspiciously as I continued scanning the river bed, making observations and connecting the rocks to who they would be perfect for.
Libertas chuckled and gracefully jumped over a fallen log to catch up to me. He walked with his paws in the the river and I was surprised, that water was cold.
I saw a rock glittering under some sand and reached in for it, but it was much too big. I sighed, but then I saw a pink stone that matched Grandma Keindra’s earring and grabbed it before the river could brisk it away. “Yes!” I said and dried the pebble the size of a penny on my fur. I unzipped the small pouch on my left arm that Libertas had made me and dropped it inside, then zipped it back up. I continued to scan the water’s edge.
“Um…” said Libertas, clearly confused. I gave him no explanation, he would know soon enough. Then I spotted it, the perfect little stone. It was red and had flecks of gold on the surface. I reached into the mud and grabbed it quickly. I washed of the mud in the stream and dried it off on my fur. I looked at Libertas and handed him the small rock. He was still confused.
“I like to give people small pebbles that resemble them,” I explained, “And you are fierce when it comes to freedom, so I thought this would resemble you because it looked like a fire. The fire because whenever you are in an argument or standing up for something you believe in, it’s kinda like playing with fire. Also because it looks kind of like you, see?” I pointed to his red fur and gold-tan streaks on his back, he nodded.
“Thanks.” He said and smiled. “So how many people do you give these to?” He asked as he inspected the small stone.
“Only close friends and family.” I said as I jumped in the edge of the stream, splashing everything around me. “I know it doesn't seem important, but it is to me.” I said a little awkwardly.
“I love it, Kodai.” He said simply and tousled my hair. Libertas walked me home and as we walked I felt immensely glad that the older bean was friends with me.

Links to the beans, just click their names

Thank you so much for reading this long form! I wish good luck to all of the contestants and hope that this guy goes to the best home possible. Have a nice day and happy (late) new year!!

[Ravendarus]

A-Ahhh I am so sorry I forgot to update this, see there was some family issues and changes and I never had time to update till Kyuubi reminded me. Recently Annetta had been gifted and given a new name Skylark, her new owner is FoxerOwl and you may pm her for further information on her!

Also Koyuki now has a nephew as Roxanne adopted a baby orphan bean qoq so he is now added to the family tree.


A-Ah I am so sorry about that again.

edit;; I also noticed a lot of people are spelling Marado's name wrong XD

[FoxerOwl]

Ah here's Skylark's personality guys, sorry I didn't notice earlier! I'm much too lazy to write a larger personality so I'll just list the traits, haha cx

Quiet -- Likes to be alone -- Kind -- Very protective of family -- Short-tempered -- Defensive -- Smart -- Likes kids

I read through and some of you said that Lark wouldn't play with him, or was too busy, so now that you have this you can change it! c:

Good luck guys!

edit;;

Skylark also likes to hang out in the forest, sometimes with her sister, Violetta. She has her own tree. She has made it her own by etching drawings, names, memories, and pictures into the bark/wood. She is not overly protective of her tree unless you try to hurt it, then she flips tables cx She also believes that knives would "poison" her tree, so she takes a pocket knife and sharpens a stick instead. It's a very time consuming process, but it helps her gain hours of alone time and gives her time to think about things. Lark finds it very relaxing and thus invites her family and friends to come and hang out at her tree, and sometimes gives them sharpened sticks so they can etch their own stories into the wood.

Getting A Little Deeper
Personality

• Loud
  As with all young children, boys and girls, at such a young age when the world is full of adventure and excitement, Xiaowen is no exception to being loud. It's as if he can't really tell just how loud he gets, but he has been known to shout, and especially when the little red panda Bean gets very excited or angry, he starts screaming in a sense. Lots of kids scream but Xiaowen certainly has a pair of lungs that could be remembered by many people who have seen him get really excited. Despite being naturally loud, in the presence of his mother, his Aunt Roxanne, and Grandma Yumemi he will do his best to keep quiet as a way of being polite and showing those three woman a high level of respect.
  
  
• Energetic
  There is an old fashioned term that is, of course, "bouncing off the walls" and many times this has been used to describe Xiaowen even if he has yet to start bouncing off of the walls. He could run around his house for around fifteen laps, due to being young and so full of childish energy. It has to do with why he has such trouble getting to sleep or going back to sleep after someone's woken him up - even if it was accidental, if he gets woken up there's a nine out of ten chance that he'll be up for most of the morning and then fall asleep in the late afternoon which throws off his entire sleep schedule and will more than likely cause his family a bunch of evening headaches.
  
  
• Witty
  This boy, despite his young age that really affects the first two traits that make him who he is, is not an easy boy to make a fool of if he's on his guard and whoever has put the time into trying to fool a small child. He's pretty sharp witted for a youth that acts the way he does when he gets really excited, and he's not afraid to call people out whenever he detects that they're lying. Xiaowen is really good at sensing a lie too, after talking in hushed little whispers to his two masked fox plushies, and it's almost as if someone else is catching on to it for him....how did he ever get those two little foxes that he keeps so close to him, anyways?
  
  
• Curious
  This little red panda boy is curious to a level that just might make his mother worry herself into fur loss; if he hears a spooky noise that common sense demands to go in the opposite direction of, he will stalk towards it because he wants to know what made the noise and why it was so spooky. If he's told he can't go somewhere because it's dangerous, he feels like he's being pulled towards that area because he needs to find out what's so dangerous about it. The only thing that could keep him from going to the dangerous place would be a promise to his sweet and caring mother, his tough and protective aunt Roxanne, or his dear beloved grandmother Yumemi. It'll have to be a pinky promise too, just to be extra safe.
  
  
• Polite
  Xiaowen is definitely a boy of good manners; he bows his head in respect to those that are older than him, he treats his friends and his classmates as he would want to be treated, and he uses "Yes ma'am, No ma'am" or "Yes sir, No sir" when he answers those that have not told him he can use something else in that place. In the place of his mother, it is "Yes Momma" or "No Momma", in the place of his father it is "Yes Daddy" or "No Daddy". With his grandmother Yumemi it is always "Yes Mi-mi" or "No Mi-mi", and with Aunt Roxanne it is "Yes Roxa" or "No Roxa".
  
  
• Social
  He loves getting social interaction in a positive atmosphere to be more clear. Xiao is the type of boy to be on the phone constantly during the teen years, talking to his friends through phone calls and text messaging and even through emails. He's always excited whenever he gets word of a family gathering, whether it's from either of his parents, his big brother, or any of his grandparents. He'll especially be happy to hear that he can invite a friend to the gathering because that simply means he has more people to socialize with! Some could even call him a spotlight lover, because Xiaowen certainly doesn't mind being the center of attention.

Likes
(Warning: Some of these are not relative to China.)

• Ōkami games and anything else that has to do with Ōkami for more than just his last name. He is absolutely in love with the characters within the game.
• Avatar the Last Air Bender (he really enjoys the story line and the characters)
• Ramen and pocky. He could eat both of these until he got sick.
• Manga, even if it makes reading in school harder for him since he's constantly switching which side he needs to start reading from.
• Chinese lore and dragons
• Masked foxes

Dislikes

• Frogs or toads.
  For some reason Xiaowen has a serious disliking of frogs and would prefer if everyone could keep any wild frogs/toads or any pet frogs/toads away from him.
• Really sweet things such as caramel, chocolate, or butterscotch.
• Getting really dirty; he doesn't like the feeling of dirt between his toes.
• Coffee. He's tried it before, without his parents knowing, and he found it really gross.
• Sushi. For those that do not like sushi, enough has already been said. For those who do like sushi, it's the smell and the taste that gets him feeling sick to his stomach.
• Guacamole

Quirks

• Xiaowen regularly stops to look up at the sky to check the position of the sun before he will comment on it, usually stating the time or a guess of how many hours in a day they have left.
  
• Oddly enough, especially for being someone without a compass and not yet having been taught which was is north, south, east or west, Xiao always seems to know which direction he is traveling in.
  
• Due to having sensitive young teeth, this little red panda cannot drink anything with ice in it otherwise it really hurts him.
  
• Much to the annoyance of his teachers, because Xiaowen is an artist in the making he tends to draw on each and every piece of paper given to him, which can take his attention away from the class and the daily lesson, but they have to admit that the youth can draw and well at that.
  
• He writes and draws with his left hand, but does everything else right handed (as do I).
  
• Finally, Xiao can mend broken objects or he will at least try to do it. Whether it stays mended or not depends on the method he uses to fix it.

Hobbies

• Ink painting. Xiaowen paints with ink, and gets it on his feet.
• Drawing
• Reading about Chinese lore.
• Making little buildings and random structures out of Popsicle sticks with a hot glue gun.
• Trying to write songs - which is impossible in his opinion.
• Watching birds

Common Sayings

• "It's only scary if it remains unknown." - Xiaowen.
• "But Mi-mi I want to!" - Xiaowen.
• "I know Oinari isn't a rice goddess (talking about his plushie) and I know she's not white furred on the outside, but she is on the inside! Her mask tells me so." - Xiaowen.
• "Not really spirits. Maybe more of guardians sent just for me?" (about his plushies) - Xiaowen.
• "Better watch out or you'll wake up with Tiangou at your toes!" - Xiaowen.

Family Relationships
Momma Koyuki
In the opinion of those who haven't seen Xiaowen around Grandma Yumemi, they could honestly say he's a mother's boy at heart. He adores his mother and is incredibly protective of her despite his small size, and even at the slightest hint that someone might want to tease his mother he will puff out his chest fluff and try to make himself look bigger (like a cat, in a way) before crawling into his mother's pouch for a nice nap. Some people could call him a charmer too, since he often stops to pick flowers for his mother whenever she isn't watching him.

Daddy Lee
His father is certainly one of the first people he would go to for help when something was really bothering him, probably right after Grandma Yumemi and right before Momma Koyuki, because he always feels like if he can't decide what to do and he doesn't think it's a problem that one of the ladies of the family can quite grasp, he's got his daddy to come to and ask for man advice. When he can't go to his grandmother's and his mother isn't around, Xiaowen will happily follow his father around and try to convince his old man to come play again with him and his big brother.

Big Brother Marado
To put it in the simplest of forms; this little red panda baby absolutely adores his big brother. He likes sneaking into Marado's bed at night and cuddling up to him (with his masked fox plushies, Oinari and Tiangou, close by of course) and while he tries to fall asleep, which has always been proven difficult for him, he will trace the markings on his brother's fur. Each morning, Xiaowen makes sure to tell Marado good morning first, and throughout the day he has been known to compliment his brother's eyes as he loves them, because he finds them very pretty and wants to make sure his big brother knows that they are.

Grandpa Pokey
To be honest, Xiaowen is not exactly close to his grandfather. He sees him a lot so that he can see his grandmother, but when it comes to actually socializing with Pokey he finds himself falling short and gets rather uncomfortable around his elder. Xiao feels like he can't be as open with his grandpa as he can with his grandma, and so in return to such a negative feeling he doesn't really open up at all. If for some reason it does happen to be him and Grandpa Pokey in a room together, Xiaowen will start talking to Oinari or Tiangou instead of trying to create some kind of bond with the elder.

Grandma Yumemi
He is his grandmother's boy all the way; Xiaowen adores his grandma and follows her around like a small puppy whenever he can. It isn't uncommon for him to ask about going over to Yumemi's and Pokey's house for an overnight visit, in which he will be trying to sleep in between his grandparents and in the arms of his mother's mother. He likes it whenever his mother will listen to his stories, or when he can listen to her own stories, and he can't help but get incredibly happy every time that Yumemi will indulge him in talking about things such as the Spring Festival, or anything related to China.

Grandma Kiendra
Grandma Kiendra is honestly the most confusing family member Xiaowen has, appearance wise, and he always tries to figure out why she looks so different compared to the rest of his family. He's happy that she's the mommy of his daddy, and he likes her because she's really nice to him, but he can never get over the fact that she looks so different from his dad or his mom's side of the family. The little red panda baby really likes running around Kiendra's legs, and through her legs, and sometimes he really enjoys playing a game of catch with his dad's mom's tail.

Aunt Valli
His father's sister is certainly easier to believe that she is part of his family; her darker colors assist in him believing that they are kin by blood (though...that's not exactly true) because she, in his mind, fits in so well for his mother's family but she's on his father's side. One thing that he likes to say whenever Aunt Valli is brought up is that he finds her beautiful, he absolutely adores the way her colors shift from dark to light, and he likes to touch all of her spots like what he does with his brother's markings at night.

Uncle Geko
Uncle Geko makes his Aunt Valli happy and is the father of his cousins Nibisonia "Nibi", and Marcel so of course Xiaowen is happy to have him and know him, but he isn't exactly close to his uncle. He sees Geko every now and then, and he will show his respect by saying hi to him and making brief conversation such as how the elder's day is going, but as for being incredibly close (to the point where he will let his nerdy side out to show the world within his home or any type of building) he has yet to start gaining that type of ground with his uncle.

Cousin Nibi
Nibisonia Koffsi Aguillard is quite the interesting little girl to her dear cousin Xiaowen, he really loves how her colors differ from his own even if he's more used to seeing the yellows, purples, browns, golds, blacks, whites, and reds of his mother's side of the family. Nibi is quite pleasant to be around in the opinion of the family's little red panda, and he has a wonderful affection for playing with the elder cousin's ears by either lightly pulling on them, chewing on them carefully, or just moving them around and trying to make them stand up like his.

Cousin Marcel
To him his dear cousin Marcel looks like someone took him and painted him a bunch of different permanent colors, but he loves his cousin all the same. He appreciates the little greens within his cousin's fur and his little hairdo, and has been known to jump up and try to run his fingers through his cousin's hair as a way of showing his affection towards the older. Xiao also gets a little delighted by the way Marcel's ear bends ever so slightly, and he greatly enjoys trying to get his cousin to rough house with him like he does with his uncle Ianto.

Aunt Roxanne
Aunt Roxanne is actually probably his favorite of the aunts from either side, and though her rough exterior is incredibly intimidating and sometimes even he is scared to approach her, he has a strong love for his aunt. He's a bit more cautious when it comes to sharing things with her than he is with his grandma, but eventually he'll open up to Roxanne and talk to her. If anything though, when the matters of a bully getting to him start rising, his Aunt Roxanne is the very first he even thinks to come to because she's tough as nails in his young, little mind.

Cousin Gonzo
His cousin Gonzo is certainly a pretty boy and Xiaowen is happy that he's older so that he can be just as protective of Gonzo as his aunt Roxanne is. Gonzo is a little strange to him because of his eyes, but that doesn't stop Xiao from loving him all the same as his family loves him. He really wants to be close to his cousin like he is to his grandmother and to his aunt, so he's going to keep putting his best foot forward and try to start visiting his mother's sister more often so he can see his new, small cousin too!

Aunt Skylark
Honestly and in a bit of a sad manner, Xiaowen doesn't see his Aunt Skylark often enough to really have a strong relationship with her. He tries to be the one to strike up a conversation with his mother's little sister, but he doesn't exactly feel as comfortable as he does with the family members that he does see more often. All in all, she is a pleasant aunt to be around when they're in a group, but when it is just the little red panda and his Aunt Skylark he doesn't feel at the best level of comfort to say his usual things that Grandma Yumemi, his mother, or Aunt Roxanne.

Aunt Violetta
This seems to be a common saying from Xiaowen about those in his family, but he believes that Aunt Violetta is pretty as well! Sometimes he worries about her despite the other being older than he is, because he has seen how naive she can be at times, but he loves her and how easy it is to talk to her all the same. Even if she can't actually talk back to him so he can hear her voice, he doesn't mind telling her things and trying to get her to smile because he really enjoys how beautiful her smile is.

Uncle Ianto
His uncle Ianto is one of his favorites, to be honest, right underneath dear Roxanne. The way he uncle talks and acts just gives Xiaowen an incredibly happy feeling in his chest and his belly. Xiao likes spending time with his uncle whenever his grandma and his aunt aren't there for him to cuddle up to. He tries his best to convince Ianto to rough house with him, but when all else fails Xiao is more than happy to just try and get his uncle to walk so he can bat at the tufts on the back of his front legs like a little kitten with some kind of really amusing toy.

Uncle Sven
Uncle Sven is like someone he thinks of as a horrible partner for nighttime hide n seek due to his markings, but otherwise Xiaowen has absolutely no problems with hanging out with Sven by themselves. He really adores his uncle for his eyes, even daring to stand on his back legs and put his feet on Sven's face to keep him in place while the little one tries to peer into the other male's eyes. One thing he does go around saying, and sometimes even enthusiastically cries to his momma "Uncle Sven has pretty eyes, Momma! Momma!" before he'll go off running, happy that he informed his mother of this easily seen fact. He sure does have a thing with eyes...

Finding Oinari and Tiangou(Second Story)
It was a warm evening for the Spring Festival, little safety lanterns (ones with little electric candles inside instead of the kind that could start a fire) illuminating the small youth's bedroom. The panda boy rest on his bed, admiring the lanterns and wishing that Roxanne and Yumemi could come to his home and look at his wonderful, homemade Chinese lanterns. He couldn't blame them for wanting to count down the hours of the New Year with their own families, knowing very well that Roxanne and Gonzo were going to be counting together with the world clock. It was really sweet, in his opinion, and he liked that his aunt could finally have her own baby - plus he adored the red ribbon and the special medallion....thing... around Gonzo's neck. Shaking his head sheepishly to clear his thoughts of the family that wasn't currently with him, he stood and stretched casually on his bed before bracing his back legs and leaping over the edge happily. Landing with a stumble, he grinned more and began walking towards the doorway...but something stopped him from getting out into the hallway to go join the rest of the celebrating family.
"Don't go."
"Save us."
Xiaowen went still and glanced over his shoulder curiously, looking around his room to see that it was absolutely empty... or it appeared to be. He padded forward slowly as his ears pressed against his skull warily, reaching out to lift up the covers of the bed and peer beneath it. No one was hiding under there, so he moved over to the closet and pulled open the door, then tugged on the string and illuminated the entire closet in a pale golden glow. Again, there wasn't anyone hiding in there to whisper to him in such creepy words. Humming lowly in thought and unable to figure out who could have spoken to him in the empty rooms, as there were no other places left behind, he scampered over to the door way and peered out into the hallway. No one hiding around the doorway to pull a prank on him.
"Please stay."
"Let us show you who we are."

The room suddenly felt much colder, cold enough for the panda boy to shiver and look around. It shouldn't have been this cold at all - he could just barely feel the pleasant heat from the hallway! "Alright then, you want to show me who you are? Do it, I'm not afraid of you," his voice rang out, for once soft, and always steady. The chill in the room got worse until Xiaowen was shaking, gritting his teeth, and watching where it sounded as though the voices were coming from. Nothing happened, no one appeared.
"We can't."
"You're too far away. Come outside, through the window. Quickly!"

The very last thing he wanted to do was follow a pair of creepy little voices outside of the safety of his house through his window when no one had any idea that he would be leaving, but he heard the words those voices spoke so clearly that he had to find out where they were coming from if they were even outside. Humming to himself, he moved back to the bed and pulled his pillows beneath the covers to make it look like he was sleeping beneath them, and then he was moving towards the window quickly. With a flick of his tail the latch was undone, and the wind did the rest of the work for him by pulling them open. There wasn't any hesitation this time, the little Bean reminding himself that the voices were only spooky until he found out where they came from, and then he would laugh at how he had been spooked and go down to join his family in their celebration of the Spring Festival. He stood on the window ledge and checked to make sure there wasn't a waiting pit of nasty mud beneath his window before leaping off the edge and landing on the earth with a soft thud. "...Which way do I go?"

"This way!"
"We're to your left. Past the bush, near the stream."

Again, he did not want to follow the creepy little voices and his breath caught in his throat as he wondered who he was going to meet, but he followed the instructions and went to the thick brush on the left. It tugged at his beautiful red fur, scratching him a little and making him want to run back home to hide away in his mother's pouch, but instead he surged forwards and moved faster. The branches of many bushes reached out, grabbing at him and tugging his fur to try and keep him from going further, but with another leap he was out of the vegetation and slumping against the soil tiredly. He felt utterly exhausted, warily glancing over his shoulder to see if the living plants would get up and chase after him to hurt him again, but they were still. Like they had never moved in the first place. Standing up and stumbling forward the first two steps, he looked around for the stream but could only hear the soft trickle of running water. "Am I close enough? Will you show me who you are now?" he called to the voices, who had remained silent throughout his time fighting the monstrous plants.
"Just a little closer."
"You're almost there little one."

He glanced around suspiciously before edging forwards, closer towards the stream, and when he was almost at the edge of the water he felt a presence on each side of him. His eyes widening, he glanced to the left first and let out a little enthusiastic gasp of surprise. Beside him, on the left side, was a young looking vixen with orange, black, and a cream colored pelt. He couldn't see her eyes, for she wore a half black and half white mask, with little orange markings on each side. It was smooth, as if the vixen didn't have a muzzle at all. Eager to see the owner of the second voice, the child turned to the right, and came nose to nose with a much darker furred fox. It wore a white mask in the shape of a fox's face, but the eyes were pitch black and any evening light was swallowed whole. The second one, the male fox, made him feel....afraid...like something could go wrong and he could end up hurt. "We won't hurt you little one," piped up the vixen who's mouth had yet to be seen, and her mask did not move at all. Her voice was soft, sweeter, but all the same it was an eerie voice. "Not if you say you wish to form a contract," agreed the tom, nodding his head as his dark eyes drank in the appearance of the young Bean. Hesitating for the first time in a while, caught between the two mask bearing foxes, Xiaowen felt utterly helpless. He didn't want to get hurt, and the duo didn't seem like they were too bad. "I....I wish to form a contract, then," the red panda child agreed softly, and the two foxes nodded in unison.
"Done, Master Xiaowen."

For a few moments, nothing happened, and then searing pain erupted from the pads of his front feet. Xiaowen screeched at the top of his lungs, but his voice didn't reach the house, and as soon as the pain started it was gone. On one pad, there was one symbol that he could recognize as Chinese, and on the other was a different symbol of the same language. Sniffling softly, he fanned the pads and watched as the marks faded into nothing but little scars that didn't hurt anymore.

"Let us go home, Master Xiaowen?"

!Questions!
skype/fanclub account?:
My computer refuses to support Skype for some reason, and I have yet to make a fanclub account due to a paranoia that those who do not own Beans will be...less than welcome. I'll join once I have a Bean, but I do not wish to join beforehand because my anxiety does not permit it whatsoever.
How active will you be?:
I log into Chickensmoothie, Deviantart, Lioden, and Flightrising every day after I attend school. I have English honors, Computer Science (programming, for those of you who might not know what Computer Science is), and Biology alongside Algebra so I may not get on until four o' clock in the afternoon (after checking in during the morning) but usually I will be online sooner than that.
What will you do with this bean?
Honestly? This would be my very first Bean, and of course I would call my girlfriend to tell her that I won this beautiful baby before PMing the caretakers for each parent, and the rest of the family, to see if it would be possible to find an easy way for everyone to RP together with this beautiful red panda baby. I'll definitely be looking into getting him into friendship roleplays, and I will be writing stories of him to more than likely put on a thread I will make for him.
Will you love him?:
Absolutely! I've adored Beans, red pandas, and the Chinese lore. This young boy reminds me of all three and that just adds to his beauty. I really adore the facial markings and the length of his tail fluff, by the way!
Why do you want him?:
As mentioned above I have always had a fondness for the Jelly Bean Dragons, but I am incredibly picky about which Beans I try out for because once I fall for a baby I fall pretty hard and I will dedicate my time to working on the form (as much as my schedule permits, at least!) and this particular Bean tells me a story of delight that I would love to convey to the parents of him and their caretakers.
