(Meri for short.)
I chose Valtameri for her name. Valtameri means ocean in Finnish, I deal it fits her because of her very beautiful blues and green. Her colors reminds me of the ocean and the beautiful creatures you see with in it. I felt that Valtameri was a very pretty name. I think the JBD deserves and gorgeouse name like Valtameri. I feel the name is very fitting and pretty enough to be this gorgeouse bean's name.

Valtameri, or Meri for short is a very sweet girl and always gearing up for and adventure. She's not easy to get along with as she's often out on various travels, backpack strapped on tightly and her wonderful little insect companion by her side. She loves exploring the world and never misses the chance to take off on an adventure of nearly any variety, she's also a bit of a tinker. She loves messing with various bobbles, trinkets, and gadgets, mixing and matching parts to make new and rather quirky things. Even her backpack was a contraption of her own design, the dragonfly wings do provide a strangely entertaining flapping motion that helps accentuate her colors. The goggles she made help augment her eyesight, like binoculars or flight goggles. She's always positive and upbeat, full of life and enough vigor to power a small city and she dreams big. She want to explore every inch of this world and take notes of everyting within it, learning how things work and how certain mechanics in the world mesh together in such intricate fashions, but, at her core, she's a curious girl who's always ready to show off what she can do!!

-Short Story-
It'd been a brisk morning as Valtameri awoke from her slumber, her fur coated with fresh droplets of dew as the sunlight began to warm her up. She slowly opened her eyes, letting them adjust to the bright sun around her before standing and giving a long stretch, "Morning Prismo!" She sat and called out, a small dragonfly began to race towards her, a small sound resonating from it's wings in an almost jubilant manner. Valtameri stood slowly again, slipping her backpack and goggles on as she started to walk, "We're about three days in, right? That means we should be just about..." And before she could finish, she looked up. There in front of her was what she'd been searching for, a large structure that'd been worn down throughout the eons, leaving nothing but a few crumbling walls and a staircase that lead down. It lead so far down that she couldn't even see the bottom, She looked over at her dragonfly partner, "Well...here goes nothing." She smiled before making her decent into the darkness. She began to lose count of how many steps she'd already climbed down, and how long she'd been descending...but after what felt like an eternity she noticed a torch. As she drew nearer, the light began to get brighter and covered a small radius, about the size of a campfire. Meri stepped closer, taking the time to sit in the small spot of light, not really caring about how the torch was lit, nor how long ago it was lit. All that mattered was she had a spot to sit and rest her legs for a bit, and without any other sources of light there was no way to tell time down here either. Her stomach rumbled a bit, "Oh crud..." she pouted some, rummaging through her pouch and pulling out a few scraps from the meal before, "It's not much, but...here Prismo. We can share!" the dragonfly buzzed happily and landed on one of the many berries soon removed from Meri's pouch and began to munch happily, their story had only just begun.

One Fine Day -Ragnarok Online
-Companion-

Meri met this little dragonfly on one of her many expeditions, this particular one taking her deep into a swampland that'd rarely been spoken of except in varying legends and folklore among the many cultures spanning the globe. She'd just finished setting up her small camp and had begun to make notes of her surroundings and the star positions for the just in case when she noticed something shimmering a few yards off. As she drew closer she noticed it was an insect of the most unusual colors. It was a brilliant pink that looked almost purple in the moonlight reflecting off the water's surface that it skipped across. The ripples left in it's wake reaching all the way to Meri's feet. She was instantly fascinated by this small creature and spent the better of the next week tracking it's location and studying it's habits, that's when she decided to befriend it. Over the next few months, she was shocked that this dragonfly's lifespan seemed far superior to others in it's species and she had befriended it rather easily. She soon gave it a name, "Prismo" after it's uniquely distinctive color patterns and made sure to take the best care of it she could, always having it's favorite fruits on hand.
-Equipment-

Meri's backpack - Custom engineered herself with the inspiration from her friend, Prismo. While the wings are functional and do flap, due to the size and structure flight is impossible using this pack. This was one of the first things that Meri invented to further her study of dragonflies and all around fashion.

Meri's Goggles - These goggles are made to appear as though they're made from Compact lenses like a dragonfly's eyes. They act as binoculars and can adjust the zoom level by rotating the lenses themselves, letting Meri see up to 100 yards away with crystal clarity and all thanks to the many refractive lenses built to enhance the amount of light exposure to increase the levels of light allowed into the lenses which in turn helps bring a much clearer view than with normal binoculars.
-Talk to Meri-
"Hi there! My name is Valtameri! Raven Feather wants me to tell you a bit about myself! Let me tell you about my favorites! My favorite color is royal blue or pink! I also love the color purple! My favorite animal is a
Tree Kangaroo. They are so bouncy and cute! They look like they would be soft and cuddly! I have a Tree Kangaroo plushie! Her name is Glomp. Yup Glomp! She stays in my pouch till it's time to sleep. My favorite food is blueberries! They are like a small blue ball of electricity, Bitter but with a sweet taste that leaves your tongue tingly! I love flowers! But my Favorite flower would have to be a
Stargazer lily. I love their purplish pink and white colors and the things that come out of the center art fun to pluck of and draw with! The pollen leaves pretty orange marks. My favorite number is 41. I dont know why. I have a favorite plant too! Its a
venus fly trap! I like to watch them lure their prey in and quickly chomp it! My favorite place i have ever traveled to would have to be have to be Tibet! I love the ruins! I find it really cool that some of the structure seem to be carved directly out of the mountains! I love to run through Sunflower fields! I like how tall they are and the way they smell. I love the shade they provide in the summer. I like to swim too! Especially in rivers. I like the way the current feels through my fur! My favorite type of ice cream is Strawberry. my favorite book would have to be
Watership Down by Richard Adams! It's an amazing book! I keep a copy in my pouch! I have read it like 100 times. My best Friend aside from Prismo is
Kokopelli! He is a bit shy and is afraid of alot but i like him! He's cute! I wouldn't mind hooking up with him! Maybe when we both get a bit older. I dont really know what else to tell you!
-In her pouch-
Inside Meri's pouch you will find a paperback copy of
Richard Adams' Watership Down along with her Tree Kangaroo Plushie Glomp. She also has random odds and ends stored in there. Such as, a needle and thread to repair Glomp when needed, and what ever food she has gathered.
-Meet Glomp-
Glomp's RefIf there's anything that people who've met Meri knows, it's that she loves Tree kangaroos, even more than she loves dragonflies. Probably why she ended up with this adorable plushie. For the life of her she wouldn't be able to tell you just how old Glomp was, just that she's had him since she was first able to see. Glomp was the first and only plushie she ever held any interest for and she was Meri's primary source of comfort when she was out on her travels, even as a youngster! Glomp's taken her fair share of tumbles and falls, but with the Handy Meri and her sewing kit, she's never taken a fall she couldn't recover from. Meri doesn't really know why, but this plushie holds a very dear spot in her heart and she'd probably die of worry if anything happened to her.
