Hello! I'm IronicwOrLd, but you can call me whatever
you want. I am a non-owner and this bean is on of
the prettiest bean's I have ever seen! She looks
amazing and I would like to try out for her.

I am left handed and have a very humorous
personality. I like to draw and adore looking at
different styles of art. I also love to play video
games and enjoy taking walks outside. I love to
listen to pop music because it makes me feel
really happy. I also love to eat sweets when I
feel a bit hungry... for sugar! My favorite
color is purple, followed by grey and lime
green. I also like wolves and cats.


Image
Image
Swift doesn't have a specific favorite color,
but she like monotones and many cool color's
such as blue and purple.


Image
Coffee, in general. If you want a more specific answer
than a warm creamy cappuccino with dark chocolate on top.
On hot days she prefers a iced cappuccino with whipped
cream and cinnamon on top.


Image
Swift's usual facial expression looks neutral
but slightly smiling. But sometimes when she is
faking happiness she looks like she is about to cry.

"Like the first blossom of spring, she brings the sunlight her way so the other flowers may bloom"

Being a calm and happy girl, Swift is caring and kind and loves to make people laugh. Her smile is contagious and spreads happiness with every step she takes. She hates to see others sad and takes extra steps into making others happy, even at her own unhappiness. When a young JBD's swing broke Swift gave him a piggyback ride, taking the giggles pointing in her direction everywhere she went.

"You will never be able to hurt me from the outside, only from the inside. Only question is, how will you get to my inside?"

Swift may seem strong, but you will almost never be able to see the shy and delicate girl underneath. Swift's personality works in layers; you will be able to see a layer of her, only to find many others underneath. She is very fragile in her innermost layers and tough on the outside, like an egg. It has a protective shell over the contents inside. But once you crack the shell you see the egg white, just another layer of Swift from a whole. In this way she will be able to take the hardest blow, but never the slightest sneer. When someone insults her she wishes she had a table to hide under or a hole to crawl into and cry. Swift is very defenseless to verbal insults, and has never been able to stand up and say 'Stop' when someone is saying mean and hurtful things to others, even if it isn't her. She can be weak at times, especially with the domineering people around. Even if someone says something that was not intentionally or very hurtful Swift would start to tear up. She has never been involved in a fight before, and tries to avoid anyone that might hurt her.

"When all comes down to the inevitable sadness, I resort to gaming. Why? It's very simple; because I enjoy it. Isn't that what everyone does things for? "

Swift is very competitive when it comes to video games. She hates it when she loses and gets overly excited when she wins. However even with gaming being half her life (or more) she still finds the time to communicate with the outside world---of course, to compare scores! Swift has always been a hardcore gamer since her father presented her with her first gaming device. Since then, Swift has been glued to it and won't stop until she's beaten her high score, which, evidently, leads to more high scores to beat. Swift can be sarcastic and just a tiny bit sassy. She's never sassy on purpose, it just pops out of her mouth when she is messing around with her friends. She doesn't intentionally do this, but she can't seem to be able to extinguish this behavior either. It's just who she is, and although her friends don't seem to mind this, other people may find her odd or a sassy freak!


Image

Image
As a child Swift had few cares and worries. Although her family wasn’t rich she grew up cheerful and happy, and well liked by almost everyone she saw, whether it was the old lady she met on the bus or the shy new kid at her school. But no one’s journey though life is smooth, and the bumpiest part of Swift’s path was being picked on in fifth grade. It had been a rainy day, and the worms were slowly dying in the almost dried-up puddles. During lunch break Swift finished her lunch early to rescue the worms in the playground. Another kid ran up to her, surrounded by his friends who were all much bigger and older than Swift and pointed and said, “Ooh! You’re all slimy and stuff, maybe you should become a worm too.” At that point of her life Swift had always been the delicate one, but now being exposed to such harsh words made her break down and throw a tantrum. Her parents had to drive to school and pick her up, and her mother gently talked to her. After that day a few of her classmates started teasing her and calling her ‘Drama Queen’ and sneered at her, saying that she just wanted the attention. But by that time Swift had become skilled at wiping her face clean of emotion and not reacting to the taunts that eventually the humor died from it. During her childhood Swift did not have access to any sort of electronic device, which was the reason why she spent so much of her time outdoors.

Image

Entering middle school was a very squirmy experience for Swift, who had never seen so many people her own age at one place before, crowding in the halls trying to get to their next class. Swift met many friends that were kind and shared many of the same interests. Being a gamer, it was unusual for her to have straight A’s, but she loved to read, and sometimes she reads so far ahead of her classes she gets top scores in pre-tests. She still gets pushed around a bit because there are a few people who came from her elementary school. In high school most things became a lot easier, and due to school transferring she was able to move to a new school, make new friends, and adjust to new teachers and classes. But what’s happened in the past is not to be forgotten—she is still in touch with many of her old friends, and sometimes they would arrange and go bowling or to an amusement park as a huge mob of people and take up half the seats on the rides!

Image

Going to college was one of the most climaxed times of her life. She worked part-time as a babysitter, a restaurant waiter, and a fast food restaurant front desk person. Swift had no problem in finding a job since she was a lot smarter than the average JBD, but she still kept her quirks from her childhood, such as the intolerance for bullying. College was a bit stressful for Swift since she was not used to so much work, but her family, especially Jowee, gave her a lot of support so the weight on Swift’s shoulders was considerably lessened. After several hard years Swift graduated with a Computer Science Degree which her family was proud of. And…at last…she was free from the school world.


Image

Swift woke at noon by her phone vibrating right next to her ear. Darn! she thought, You could have given me just one more minute to play that awesome dream video game! She checked the text: “Hey Swiffy, I’ve invited u and all of our other friends to come over at 5 this afternoon to play video games. I don’t know when we’ll stop, possibly the next morning XD but can u come today?” Bubbles of excitement rose up inside her, and she nearly dropped her phone jamming the ‘reply’ button and feverishly typing in “Sure! I’ll be there at 5!” Then she flopped back onto her bed to continue that video game dream. Waking up an hour before the party, Swift decided not to go to her friend’s house looking like she’d been hibernating. Swift walked out the back door, amazed at the sunny skies and cool air; they’d had thunderstorms for a week already. Too bad today’s the party. I could do with a little fresh air… She immediately pushed away the thought. No way I am missing this! It could be the best day of my life! Staying up all night with her friends gaming…she couldn’t think of another way to spend the night. Swift snatched up her computer bag and loaded her arms with gaming devices and unceremoniously tossed all of them into the car. She arrived at her friend’s house ten minutes early because she couldn’t stand waiting, and her friend was not surprised either. Within twenty minutes everyone started appearing, fizzing with excitement like Swift. All night long the friends chatted and ate popcorn and drank soda, each playing their own video game and comparing high scores. For Swift, it was an interesting experience, not knowing how many of her friends enjoyed gaming too. They left early in the morning and each fell into a dead sleep out of exhaustion and exhilaration.

Image
"If Swift was in a tough situation what do you think she would do? This question will be answered in the following story."

Swift was with one of her friends and out of no where her friend spilled coffee on someone neither of them knew. Swift stared at her giggling friend and then looked up at the unfortunate pedestrian. She quickly stood up and gave him a towel, which her gladly thanked Swift for. Her friend was very mad at Swift for helping him and told her to never do that again. Swift felt confused because she should be to one saying that to her friend. Swift said "That wasn't funny, you shouldn't have done that!" It was actually one of the first times Swift ever stood up to a friend. Swift didn't want to cause drama in a busy coffee shop so she stood up and walked away. Her friend started yelling at her to get back there, but Swift didn't listen and let her friend make a fool of herself. The next day Swift though her friend would have called, but she never did.


Image
"Have you ever wondered when Swift got her gaming device, what it was, and what her reaction was? Those questions will be answered in the following story!"

I was Swift's 8th birthday when she got her first gaming device. When she first opened it, Swift didn't exactly know what it was until her dad told her, Swift's dad used to love playing video games when he was young. Swift didn't exactly want to try playing but she gave it a try. She has watched her older sister Jowee play before, and her sister was quite good at it. Jowee teased her a bit when she couldn't play that well. Swift didn't give up, she played everyday for a long time trying to gain more experience, her parents actually got worried. Swift started to get more and more obsessed over video games, it changed her life forever. She started t get more interested in technology than the environment. Swift realized that she really wanted video games and technology to be a big part of her life. She never actually knew what she wanted to be when she grew up, she could't see a future in front of her until the day a whole new world was introduced into her life.


Image
Image

Image
The loving husband that Swift fell in love with would have been a bad match in another JBD's eyes. But as they say, opposites attract, so it's no mystery that Swift makes good decisions. Although Concord may be crabby and bad-tempered at times, none other than Swift can see the goodness in him, the true qualities that made her choose him as a mate.

Image
As the sister that has always been by her side, Jowee is loyal and supportive of Swift, and so is Swift of her. At an early age the sisters formed an unbreakable bond growing up together, and it has remained as strong as steel to this day.

Image
The son that is distant from everyone around him, including her mother. But sometimes Tatl becomes more happier and joyful around his loved ones so the don't become worried and upset. When Tatl is in a very bad mood he would often fight with his family.

Image
One of Swift's sons who doesn't want to stay close to her family. Unlike Tatl though he is clam, and sensitive, kind of like her mother.

Image
Swift's only daughter, who is a bit like Swift who loves to play video games. Though Navi spends only some of her time with Swift and her family, she loves to go to parties and hangout with her friends. Like Swift when she was young.

Amazing <3 Thank you so much, mute!

Is there any chance you could give us a bit of info about Swift and Concord's relationship history?

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


Zodiacs and such:

    Birthstone:
Diamond - This stone signifies love, eternity, strength and everlasting affection.

    Zodiac Sign:

Aries


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


Personality:

    Sweet:
Swift is a very sweet bean. She'll do quite a bit to try to make whoever's
around her happy and it always brings a smile on her face to see other beans
happy and smiling too. She's very giving and hardly raises her voice at many beans.

    Sensitive:
Swift is a very sensitive individual. The smallest thing someone could
say around her or directly at her can put her down and into a rut for hours
if she doesn't talk about it. She dislikes yelling because even if its her yelling
at someone, she'll get pangs of guilt and she'll feel worse. If she's yelled at, it
breaks her heart and she's possibly bound to cry.

    Loyal:
She's a very loyal friend and she'll do her best to stick around and
to help out wherever she can in her other friends' lives. Even if
she gets in an argument or fight with one of her friends, she's still bound
to probably care about them and stick around them if they let her.
She doesn't let small things like that get in the way of her relationships.


    Competitive:
As sweet and quiet as she may be, that can very quickly change. Especially
when it comes to her video games. She is very hardcore with her games.
She doesn't like losing when it's a multiplayer game and she can get very
cocky, which can trigger her sensitive side if she did lose. She doesn't really
hold too big of grudges though, they never last very long.

    Possessive:
Swift is possessive of what's hers. Her video games, her mountain dew and of
course her family and friends. She usually hides her games and things she wants
to use later so others don't use it, as selfish as that may be. She only does it with
her games though- she dislikes the idea that someone might break one of them.
She can't exactly hide her family members and friends though, I guess you can say
she's just protective of them. She's not way too vocal or aggressive about that though.


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


What's in her pouch?

    Mountain Dew:
Swift will have a can of mountain dew in her pouch once in a while. Most of the time she has it with her
when she needs a refreshment as she plays her video games.


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