        # of beans owned: 1
        About applier:
        I am a female living in the US. I own 1 bean I love dearly and other wonderful species as my own. I have been a member of CS for 3 years. I have tried for many adopts this past year. I am hoping this baby will be my second bean.



        ▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆ ▆ ▆ ▆

        Parent JBD: Fantine

        Fantine has always had a love for children ever since the day her friend had her own babes. She never had siblings and was alone for a lot of her life, so the concept of a little bean running around keep her company and calling her mamma was super appealing to her. Fantine hasn't had a lot of luck concerning mates, so the concept however was hard to reach...
        Fantine would spoil her child and treat them with the love and care she would treat her own children. She would raise the bean to be a little gentleman or a young lady...or if they have different ideas, Fantine would support them no matter what the case. She would be the type of mother that will give them choices from a young age, on what they want to be, what they wanted to do religion wise, what they want to wear...
        If she had a little boy and he wanted to wear princess dresses, he can wear princess dresses. If she had a girl and she wanted to cut her hair super short, then Fantine wouldn't stop her. Or if she had any gender inbetween...she would support them no matter what.

        Why do you want to adopt him/her?:



        I'm an owner of a single bean whom in characterization really wants a child more than anything. Not only that, but she also happens to be the only bean I have ever owned, having won her a year ago when the adopts were still up and running. I've tried for other beans the past year but have been unlucky with every single one of them, including nursery beans. I want this bean because I feel like the poor baby needs a home of some kind, being abandoned in the snow. I also have a fondness of nursery beans, especially orphan beans without families.. I really enjoy the aspect of a character with a tragic past, not only is it wonderful for character development, it gives me the chance to really connect with the character in a special way.
        Also in Fantine's Character, she would treat the bean as the little prince or princess they deserve to be, spoiling them rotten and taking care of them as if he/she was her own..
        I also love Christmas, this bean may be a Christmas bean and I don't really know what the design will be be, regardless I will love the bean like I love my own girl. Spoiling my characters has always been a specialty of mine. I especially love developing my characters...especially my new characters.

        Image


        What will you do if you won him/her?

        If I won, I would keep the baby and have my Girl Fantine of course be her/his mother. Eventually the baby will be grown and really developed in character. I would create artwork of the bean in the meantime and RP with others in the community. I will also order art and create small stories regarding the small single family. I would possibly also place the bean in honor in my signature for to show off a little bit. I don't and have never given away my characters, especially characters I have a strong bond with so you wouldn't have to worry about this little baby going off to an unknown home.

        Q & A with Fantine
        Image

        Q: Do you want girl or a Boy?
        A: why does it matter. I would love the child regardless so I don't really have a preference..

        Q: How did you find the poor baby?
        A: Alone in the snow, I was taking a stroll in a nearby park when i saw the poor dear. I kept the egg as warm as I could and waited there for hours to see if its parents would come, they never did...

        Q: Have you figured out a name for this lost soul?
        A: I can't really decide completely until they hatch....but for a girl I love the name Cosette...as for if he were a boy, I like the name Nicholson....then again, I'll have to see when they hatch

        Q: What type of mother do you plan to be?
        A: I plan on being a fun mother..my mom was really restrictive. Of course I'll have a few rules around the house but I want to be the mom that their child goes to without feeling fear... The mom who can be. well a mom and teach their kids the right things while also not degrading them as beings.



        Q: When the question comes, how will you tell them they're adopted?
        A: I would hope I wouldn't have to bring it up until they're mature enough to understand. I personally don't know who their parents are...so that would be really tough. If they do, I want to reassure them that even they were abandoned, I still love them for who they are or will be. And I will never leave them like that.

        Q: What type of activities will you plan to do to bond with your baby?
        A: I plan to watch shows with her/him on TV and watch movies. Maybe take them to disneyland.. I also hope to read them stories and take them places...out of states or even out of the country to experience new things. Of course I'll also spend time helping them with homework from school when they grow up in the future..

        Q: If your child wanted pets, would you get them that pet?
        A: Depends on what pet that is... I'm allergic to cats, so no kittens but maybe a puppy or a hypoallergenic cat ^^ I will also be happy to gift them a turtle or fish if they wanted that. I also wouldn't mind a pet bird or lizard. If they ask for a snake...I don't know about that one however snakes freak me out so maybe no...

        Q: Your child gets bullied for whatever reason at school, how do you deal with that situation?
        A: I would give my baby love and possibly go up to the school to get down to the problem personally. I wouldn't confront the children upfront, but I would definitely find out who their parents are and put a stop to it immediately. I hate bullies with a burning passion, and I wouldn't stand for my baby to be hurt in any way. Physically or emotionally.

        Q: Your child comes out to you as something other than straight, will you accept them?
        A: Of course. I myself identify as Bisexual so I would be hypocritical to feel any other way about them. I'll give them any advice they need at any given time...

        Q:do you Plan on taking them to a public school or do you plan on homeschooling?
        A: I'll take them to a public school first for preschool and a few years of elementary then I'll see how they fare.... but I'm not going to deny them homeschooling if they truly cannot handle public school.

        Q: Do you have any other family who could care for the child while you are at work?
        A: I have friends...but no other family. My parents live far away and most of my friends are other species. My best friend is a dragon of a different species named Serephina...I'm sure she would help, but she already has a litter of her own to take care of, I'm thinking about working at home so I can watch them myself, I don't want to be out of that child's early years for as long as I have to be.

        Q: What would you do if your child misbehaves/acts like a brat/throws a temper tantrum?
        A: I might be for a lot of things, but I wont stand for bratty behavior. I'll do the time out corner, and I'll ground them when needed...but right now I'm hoping that they wont turn out like that. If they do I wont love them any less, they'll just learn very quickly that I wont be a pushover about it.

        Discovering... (*this story will be told in anthro form)

        Image


        Fantine found herself strolling a December night in New York where she currently lived. The trees were covered in sparkling snow and crystal like ice from the last storm the night before. She loved winter, despite the freezing winter up north, the snow was simply beautiful in its own way. She had decided earlier that she was going to take a walk after the long hours at the science lab she worked at just to enjoy this time...
        A shiver went up her spine as she went deeper into the park. Fantine ended up tightening said scarf because of which, her eyes squinting a little. She took a glance at her watch and sighed, enjoying the silence a little. Things tended to be hectic at the Lab currently, as one of the greenhouses seemed to spout a pesky hole. Of course, they called a person to patch it up but the plants at the greenhouse were still in fear of dying from the outside exposure. It wasn't like something like that haven't happened before...it just really stressing when it does. Fantine kneaded her forehead suppressing a small headache lingering from the earlier freak out. She was recently promoted in the Lab making her in charge of most of the studies going on for medicine and plant identification. So when something like this happens it all falls on her... everything.
        Fantine looked around the quiet park fondly, she was glad she found some peace tonight, although it was really dark and the moon was high in the sky. She closes her eyes resting a bit, shivering at the slight chill seeping through her jacket. After a few minutes, she found herself leaning against a tree, and next to a lump...of blankets. Fantine opened her eyes a little and noticed a blanketed lump right next to her against the tree. The blankets were dampened with snow making them look like soaked beach towels... The tattered fabric of the blankets an ugly brown. She wouldn't have really been interested in the blankets as much but then she noticed a red ribbon...Fantine paused and crouched down, hovering her tail over the covering, lifting the blankets a little.
        She gasped, a small egg wrapped in the red ribbon was wrapped in the soaked blankets, its black shell reflective and smooth. Fantine reached down, touching the egg. The smooth surface was icy to the touch and she frowned worried.
        Fantine took off her jacket in haste and gently unwrapped the egg, transferring it into the dry warm fabric to insure it gets warm. Looking around for any sign of other beans in the area, Fantine gently brought the egg, cuddling it to her chest.
        Who's egg was this? why was the egg out here all alone...
        Fantine shivered at the absence of the jacket but she shrugged the feeling off, the child was more of a priority at this point. All she could do right now was wait....she had guessed. maybe someone would come by looking for their baby?
        Fantine rubbed the egg through the fabric to warm the outer shell, her eyes darkening a little. Who would dare even forget about their own child? who would leave their egg in the snow in a damp blanket of all things?

    If you leave someone at least tell them why, because what's more painful than being abandoned; is knowing you aren't worth an explanation.



    Username: JellyBeanRae

    JBD-hangout account: Blusang Lindwurm ( almost always free to rp)

    Name: Charred

    Why this name: I thought this would be a suitable name that regards his past. His parents most likely wanted to CHAR him out of their lives, just as I hope he does to them. He most likely will be scarred by his abandonment, so I wish him luck wherever he goes.

    Parent JBDs: Rae and Mousse
    Why do you want to adopt him/her?: When I saw this poor bean laying in the snow, begging for an explanation, I knew he needed to have someone. Anyone. When he hatches, he will need someone to go to. Imagine waking up, embracing life and hoping for a welcoming hug, only to fall forward and realize; there is no one for you. You are alone. I also imagine that he will have a lot of questions about his past, and imagine that he one day, might find his family. However, if I did get him, I would be unsure whether or not to tell him about the tag; worst Christmas present ever. This tag infuriates me, how could anyone ever abandon their own child and compare them to a mere PRESENT? For this sake, I hope he never meets his parents, only to find out how they abandoned him and will not want him back. This, I fear, would break his poor little heart.

    What will you do if you won him/her?: I would keep them, and cherish them forever. Next to nothing is more painful than being abandoned, and they will need a shoulder to cry on, someone to go to if there is something wrong.

    I forgot to mention this, but please try not to use very light colours or small font (anything smaller than 85px really). If possible, try to stick with black/dark grey text with normal size. While looks may be important, I need to be able to read your form too!

    parent jbds-
    Sprite and Enceladus
    ══════════════════════

    ════════════════════════════════════════════════
    meet your new family-

    Sprite
    Sprite is a friendly and loving bean, not hesitating to take in a
    little egg in need of a home. Being so cheerful and positive, Sprite
    will love the bean no matter what he or she is like, and encourage
    him/her to come out of his/her shell and not worry about being
    different. She’ll love the egg and the life inside it like her own.
    She’ll tell stories, take the child on adventures, and be the
    funnest mom she can be!

    Enceladus
    Although Enceladus is very shy and doesn’t talk, he doesn’t need
    words to show that he is a kind and gentle bean. He couldn’t
    even imagine leaving an egg alone in the cold, and is always willing
    to welcome an abandoned soul into his home. He knows the feeling
    of being abandoned (though he was much older when he was left
    on his own) and wouldn’t wish it upon anyone. He will be calm,
    loving, and accepting; regardless of how the baby turns out to be.

    Martini
    Martini is a bit upset about this new sibling, as she thinks
    her family is way too big already! She will, however, come
    to love and accept the newcomer as part of the family just
    as she did with her other siblings.

    Ashens
    Ashens, being the oldest, doesn't really enjoy the notion of yet
    another sibling. I mean, he already has four of them! Little by
    little, however, he warms up to the new addition and acts like
    a responsible older brother.

    Mojito
    Mo is more than a bit hesitant about it, but later on he is
    more than glad to get to know his younger brother/sister.
    After all, family is family, right?

    Helix
    Helix is the awkward and dorky brother. He's a bit unsure about
    the egg, as he realizes this will mean the end of his reign as the
    youngest of the family (even though he looks like the second
    youngest), but he's also excited at the idea of having a little bro
    or sis.

    Rillien
    Rilien himself was an orphan before Sprite took him in. Despite
    his general dislike for most beans, he doesn’t have the heart to
    hate a young bean who could be just as alone as he had been.
    He is fiercely protective of the egg and will be just as protective
    of his little sibling when s/he hatches.

    Baguette
    Bagu is the fun uncle who runs around and plays games with the
    kids. He loves his niece and nephews and would happily welcome
    another little bean into the family.

    welcome to the moonsodas!
    ════════════════════════════════════════════════
    ══════════════════════
    first encounter-

    "Tell me, how did you meet the
    orphan egg?"
    you ask, pulling out a penpad.

    Enceladus sits down and pulls
    out a chalkboard and piece of
    chalk, and jots down a few
    phrases.
    Just a moment, please...
    He pulls out another item
    from his pouch, this time a
    tattered notebook. Enceladus
    hands it to you.
    Beyond the cover, the book is
    mostly full of notes; something
    addressed to Sprite and a few
    notes for shopping.
    He takes it back for a moment
    and flips to a page, handing it
    back. The book reads as follows;

    Day Zero:
    I found this egg while walking
    to the supermarket behind the JBD
    park. There was no sign of who
    left the poor thing, but I figure I
    should take it in, at least until I
    can find its family.


    Day One:
    I asked around and I can't find
    anyone who knows who this egg
    belongs to. I'll keep trying for a few
    days before I turn it in to the
    adoption agency.


    Day Two:
    Still no news on the egg, but it
    seems attracted to heat.


    Day Three:
    I'm starting to consider keeping
    the egg... I'll talk it over with Sprite
    tommorrow.


    Day Four:
    The egg fell out of my pouch
    prematurely, but luckily, Sprite
    was ecstatic about the egg and
    we've already started thinking
    about names! Welcome to the
    Moonsoda family, little one!

    ══════════════════════

    ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
    why do you want me?
    Actually, to be honest, I didn't want to try out for this bean at first. My friend was helping me
    look for jbds to try for and when she reccomended this orphan adopt to me. "Nah," I said, "Too much
    effort. I'll pass." But for some reason, I kept on staring at this page... thinking how lonely and cold this
    poor egg would be, and how terribly alone and afraid it would be if it survived long enough to hatch.
    Idk, my maternal instinct or whatever must have kicked in. Another huge reason is the mystery this
    little egg possesses. You have no clue what he/she will become until after the fact, but no matter what
    it hatches into it will be like winning the lottery. Just a blindfolded lottery with a living, breathing
    character to take care of and develop.


    what will you do with me?
    If we manage to win this little lad/lass, I will be keeping him/her. I already have several name
    ideas but am prepared to think up even more if he/she doesn't really "fit" into any of them!

    Why do you want to adopt him/her?:
    I feel this bean is beautifully unique, and the idea of developing character for this bean greatly excites me. This bean would not only build character for itself, but for it's family as well. If Cast and Oswyn were to become the parents, there's no doubt that the bean would be showered with love. With this egg, Scout is given the opportunity to become more mature, and a forever loving sibling. To be blunt, the design does not concern me, it's the character built that is important to me. The back story is incredibly sad, even with only a sentence to describe it. I want to give a loving home to this bean. Both I, and its new family, would adore this bean endlessly, no matter the looks.

    What will you do if you won him/her?:
    If I were to win, I, Alawai would keep the bean and nothing could possibly stop me from loving him/her. No matter what, this little bean is a gift and would never be without warmth. I really don’t care about what the baby looks like, it’s the beans personality and strength of character I know I already love and whatever appearance this bean has, I will love him/her unconditionally. Oswyn and Cast would take the tiny thing into their warm arms and inevitably drown him/her with love. I, as the ‘adopter’ would likewise adore the baby with art, stories, role plays, and give him/her life and a soul because from the first moment he/she is officially born, he/she can be allowed to grow in height obviously, but also personality and strength and that is the best part. You can give a character life and then, they start growing themselves and there is that moment that you realize that actually, you know this character as a friend and more than that. I know it’s so easy to say words but truly, this bean deserves so much love and I know there are so many people who could love him/her probably as much as I do but I know I can offer a home and love and won’t ever let this baby be left alone again.

    Oswyn and Cast are a recently wed couple and quite opposite in most things. Oswyn is obsessed with her cello and is somewhat a melodramatic perfectionist. Cast is selfless and paranoid. Like really, he practically bubble-wrapped his daughter for the first few months of her life and when she was an egg he was no better. However, they both share things in common. They both have massive hearts and morals. They care, they listen and they don’t give up on anyone, certainly not their daughter Scout, nor each other and definitely not a small defenseless bean who is yet to take it’s first look at the world. It is a belief shared by the both of them that no matter what shape or size someone/something comes in, they should never be deprived of love and a home. Hence why the house is home to various species of insects and small mammals. Sure, every family has flaws, Oswyn's stubbornness and Cast’s worry being a few to name. But as cheesy as it sounds, the house is filled to the brim with love and laughs and the smell of baking and pots of tea because Oswyn is an excellent cake-maker and Cast has a love of various teas. And no matter what you have or don’t have, in this family there is an excess of love and the door is always open.

    “No!”
    “Hon, you need to practice piano, you have the Christmas concert on Boxing day!”
    “It’s Christmas Eve mama, I won’t!”
    Oswyn sighed and wondered how Scout had inherited all her mother’s dramatics and stubbornness and none of her father’s passive nature. Then again, Oswyn could be the only one to blame for that.
    “How about just one scale?” Oswyn tried again, peering through the pile of tinsel and presents where her tiny daughter was hiding.
    “NO!” Came the muffled yet surprisingly loud reply. There was a pause where Oswyn looked at Cast desperately who shook his head with a small smile.
    “Oooo this one is another for me! It’s huge!” Out popped the little black and tan head, her blue eyes wide.
    Cast chuckled and Oswyn couldn’t help but join in.
    “Well little lady, I think it might be time for bed! Santa won’t come if-” began Cast.
    “I don’t want to go to bed! It’s not fair! You can’t make me!” Scout shrieked and leapt from her little fort of Christmas mess.
    “Scout, it’s nearly eleven…” Cast tried, reaching out to pull tape stuck to his daughter’s ear.
    Scout darted away with a grin.
    “I’m gonna go find Rudolf.” She said simply.
    And with that, she rushed over to the front door, pulled it open with much practiced little paws and before Cast could pull her back inside, she disappeared into the night.
    “For goodness sake, SCOUT-”
    “She’ll catch her death out there, oh pickled beans-”
    The two beans rushed over to the door and were met with a face-fall of swirling snow.
    “SCOUT COME BACK! IT’S TOO COLD!”
    They looked at each other and then, at the exact same moment, sprung into action.
    Oswyn grabbed her coat and scarf from the chair by the fire where they had been drying from the earlier snowman-building escapades, while Cast rushed around picking up Scout’s various parts of clothing scattered around, her scarf , hat, coat, boots, and little gloves.
    Cast shoved them at Oswyn as she went to dart out the door.
    “Wait, I’m coming too!” He sounded panicked.
    “No, no, she may come back if I don’t find her so it would be best if you make a warm bath and cocoa for when we get back, either together or not. She might just have pretended to run off, you know how she is.”
    Cast nodded quickly, still looking quite petrified. Oswyn smiled reassuringly, grateful that she had the ability to keep mostly calm in these situations.
    “We’ll be back soon.”
    “Okay. Be careful honey.”
    And Oswyn stuffed Scout’s clothes in her pouch and rushed out into the snow.
    As she padded down the street calling out Scout’s name, she silently thanked the sky that the snow was only light. It was that feathery kind of snow, which was actually quite lovely. However, under the circumstances and considering how low the temperature was, a brisk trot was as slow as Oswyn was willing to go, so there was no time for watching the falling snow.
    Oswyn was heading for the park. If Scout was anywhere, it would be on the playground. She shivered violently as a blast of icy wind slapped her around the ears. Thankfully her fur and coat were thick and she pulled her scarf tighter and quickened her pace.
    “Oh Scout, where are you, pumpkin?” She said out loud, more to herself than anything.
    And then, Oswyn finally came to the playground. It only took a second to spot Scout. Her dark fur stood out against the luminous snow, she was huddled by the wire fence at the end of the park.
    “Scout!” Oswyn ran over, falling on top of her daughter and pulling her close.
    “Mama, mama, I need to-”
    “Hush, hush, here put these on, it is freezing.” Oswyn grabbed the things from her pouch and began pulling them onto her daughter.
    “But I found-” Her voice was cut off as the coat went over her head.
    “No, no, we need to get you home.”
    “But-”
    “You are a silly little bean Scout, it’s dangerous when it’s cold and dark out here.”
    Scout pushed the hat up that had slid over her eyes and tried to pull away as the booties went over her paws.
    “Mama, I found something!”
    Oswyn wrapped the scarf around Scout’s neck and then bundled the little bean into her pouch. “You can tell me at home sweetie.”
    Scout squirmed and stuck her head out. “No mama! I found an egg!”
    Oswyn paused and looked down at her daughter.
    Her eyes were wide and confused. She wasn’t lying.
    “An egg? Out here?”
    Scout managed to point with a knitted glove to the bottom of the chicken-wire fence.
    “Oh my word.” Oswyn froze, and blinked rapidly.
    There, barely visible, sat a grey egg buried in the snow. It looked like a rock but they both knew better. She felt her heartbeat quicken. She took a few shuddery breaths.
    “Mama…?”
    Slowly, Oswyn reached under the wire, her paw closing around the small egg. It was a cold as the snow.
    “Oh please please please let us not be too late.” Oswyn whispered.
    Oswyn felt Scout shiver in her pouch. “There’s a note mama.”
    Cradling the egg, Oswyn turned the little paper tag over.
    “What does it say?”
    Oswyn felt a jab of anger rush through her as she read the sentence.
    What right, what right does anyone have to abandon a child like this? How could they just leave a defenseless baby here to die in the cold alone? There would be no point looking, by the looks of that note and the egg’s temperature, that parent would have cleared off long ago-
    “Mama, what does it say?” Scout shivered again and Oswyn straightened up.
    She carefully tucked egg in next to Scout. “Sweetie, we need to get home now. Try and keep that egg warm. We are going to save this little bean, okay?”
    Scout’s voice got louder. “Okay mama.”
    “Good girl.” And Oswyn ran.
