[Agent Shark]

Name: Khiri {Keer - re}
Song: [link]
Explanation of song: An accident caused her to go into acomma and when she woke she remembered nothing. She lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged, and she searches for her 'home', It isn't a dream or a goal. Its a Need, to her she has to find herself again or she is no one.
Dream:
Khiri found herself running endlessly, unable to escape the monster that was on her heels. This way and that she'd turn, desperately seeking the exit but only finding endless tunnels. Only the rare Glowing mushroom provided some light as she ran. Hours went by and she only found herself dead-ends after dead-ends. Tired and unable to run further she collapsed. "Its just a Dream...I'll wake up soon." She repeated over and over as thunderous footsteps neared her. Finally she saw the outline of the beast. With a roar it leaped and the cave floor broke and she founds herself falling. What seemed like an eternity later she hit a shallow pool of water. As she sat up she looked around at the marvel before her.

Name: Maribella or just Mari for short.
Song: Runnin' by Adam Lambert
Explanation of song: Running from the past to keep flying to the future. You have to bend before you can break and sometimes people can get lucky and leave before that happens. Mari is one of them; she chose to leave before she broke, chasing her dream more than her mind.
Dream: Mari dreams of true freedom. Something that you can't get in this world. She dreams that one day she'll be able to spread her hidden wings (metaphorically) and leave this life. She's going to chase her dream through snow and rain, through raging heat and biting cold. Mari thinks that with this freedom, she'll finally be at peace with the world.

verb - To deaden, muffle, or soften the sound of.

"Just because f a t e doesn't deal you the right cards, it doesn't mean you should give up. It just means you have to play the c a r d s you get to their maximum p o t e n t i a l."

⇢ N A M E ❣
m u t e.
⤷ the definition, of course, you can find above. I chose this name for two reasons;
one - because the mute swan is a type of swan and
two - because the silent, soft-spoken personality of this bean matches the name perfectly

t o o c l o s e.
⤷ Too Close, by Alex Clare, is the song I think best represents Mute [x]
⇢ W H Y ❣
f r i e n d s.
⤷ it wasn't that long ago Mute was a normal bean with lots of friends who she loved to be with. Gradually though, Mute found herself drifting apart from the majority, and eventually all those she had left except, maybe, two betrayed her somehow. Mute found herself dreading her meetings with those she had left, afraid every meeting would be the last one. Eventually she just left, not being able to take her own fear anymore.
⇢ D R E A M ❣

⤷ this section will be narrated by Mute, for the most part. However, I should tell you this part. She has this dream almost every night, unless she sleeps very lightly or too soundly. When she has the dream, she never remembers having it before, but she does when she is awake.

I will never forget the dream. I could feel everything. I stood beside a lake in the twilight, surrounded by a pine forest. I could smell the pines, and feel the breeze from the sea and the rocks I stood on. The pebbles, the needles, the tiny orbs and flecks of foam on the lake. All in painstakingly beautiful detail. I want to live here, I murmured. I stood a few moments, enjoying the beauty of the water, the way it all felt. I hadn't seen something this beautiful in a long time. Then I saw a black swan fly his beautiful way across the lake. Slowly he swerved, and flew over my head and into the pine trees. I felt his wingbeats, and a feather dropped to the shore beside me. The whole experience somehow gave me the calm I had wanted for so long. Holding the feather, I remembered the black swan feather I owned that I had picked up in the forest on a hike once. Then the dream-sun finally fell behind the trees, and I woke up as the stars came out.
I lay awake and pulled my feather closer to me. Thank you, I whispered to the dream.

⤷ Well, that shading tutorial helped me. I gave bottom lit
"erase-away painterly shading" a try.
A nearly 3-hour long try, but I love how it ended up.

And, this is supposed to be her in the dream, with the feather,
beside the lake.

"It happens to e v e r y o n e as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known f o r e v e r don't see things the way you do. So you keep the w o n d e r f u l memories, but find yourself moving on."

Still trying to decide which one to pick.
Explanation of song
Dream
You may expect some Hollywood glamour star to not have any dreams left. After all, they already achieved their dreams, right? Wrong, although she was a very successful actor and has so much money that she doesn't really know what to do with, she still has a dream. She wants to find her other half, her soul mate. You would think that she would have found it during the old days. No, it was exactly the opposite. Nobody wanted to approach her for they feared being rejected, which left her alone most of the time. So she quit her job to get rid of the one obstacle that prevent her from find her other half. Her dream now has a chance to come true.

[ZombiePoodle]

Name: Weathervane

Song: Daughtry - Waiting for Superman

Explanation of song: This song relates to Weather in the essence that even though she waits for greater things to happen in her life, she's not afraid of being patient. She knows that one day good things will come to her, and she'd rather live enthusiastically until that moment shows itself, instead of making assumptions and giving up.

Dream: Weathervane's dream for the future is simple. All she wants is to live her life to the fullest, never give up on her goals, and one day find happiness that will last her forever. She doesn't take things for granted, living a comfortable life, but never wishing for anything more than she needs. Someday she wants to find something or someone that will complete her, but until then she waits patiently, with the knowledge that the day will come. Her optimism rarely fades away, and is something that she loves to share with others around her.
