Name:Marli
Gender: Female
Personality:Marli is incredibly calm. Hardly anything can freak her out, except for fire, that is. She enjoys sitting and watching the clouds roll by. Her patience is needed every day, for she has to wait for her owners to come home from school. She's about the size of a large cat, so she gets cuddled a lot. She loves the attention of her best friend, Fizz. Her affectionate nickname is Mar, but only her very closest friends call her that. She loves warm weather, her favorite season is April because of this. She enjoys watching the rain pour down outside her window. Peaceful, calm, serene. Those are some of her favorite things. She loves to play with Emma, her owner, and will do anything that the young girl asks. She also likes to play with other Jellybean Dragons, as long as it's not too rough. She loves kids and hopes to one day become a mother, but that would be in many years. She's still just a young girl! Marli is very artistic. She loves to paint with her paws. She loves listening to Emma play the piano and sing. Sometimes, she even makes little noises, trying to sing with Emma!
History:Darkness. That's the first thing that I remember. Cold, wet darkness. Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a loud noise. I remember crying out for help...but I was very young. It was just a loud cry. There was a sweet, soft scent in the air that I wanted very much. I felt something warm and soft wrap around me. I felt a warm mouth around my scruff and I was being carried away. I don't remember much after that, though. The next memory I can recall is being on the couch with Fizz. I later learned that Fizz had found me on a stormy night in her back yard. I've really never had any questions about how I got there or who my parents were. I learned to just accept the fact that I was now living with Fizz, Emma, Liz, and Wyatt. I was happy with my life with my family. It was calm and peaceful. Little did I know, something would challenge that life forever.
It was an early Sunday morning when it all started. I was laying with Emma and Liz, watching the news. I didn't understand much of it, but I enjoyed the pretty pictures on the TV. A picture of a large Jellybean Dragon came up on the screen. I didn't know it, but that dragon had attacked a little girl. The president had made a law, banning all Jellybean Dragons. They were all to be put to sleep humanely. But I didn't know this. I stood up and walked out of my little door to go outside. Liz ran after me and pulled me back outside. I tilted my head with confusion, but dismissed it. Maybe she thought that it was to hot outside. Fizz picked me up by the scruff of my neck and took me upstairs. I went limp and just let Fizz carry me.
It was only three days after that they came for me. I heard a loud knock on the door and Fizz got up and put me in a toy chest. I laid silently in the chest and I heard Fizz go in to the closet. I sat in the chest for what felt like a very long time. The workers finally came upstairs and in to the room that I was in. I heard a small creak and I saw a flash of light. A man had opened the chest and he reached in. I squirmed away, but he picked me up and threw me in to a small cage. "Fizz! Fizz help!" I screamed. But it was to late, they had already taken me downstairs. They loaded me in to a car with lots of other Jellybean Dragons. We went for a short car ride, and then the door opened. I bolted from the truck and ran as fast as I could. I'm a pretty quick little Dragon and I got away. I ran until I reached a small forest. That's where I am now, waiting for something to happen.
Story:Marli and the Thief
Marli loved to collect things. She would collect dirt, rocks, grass, and her favorite things were feathers! She would hide her 'prizes' under the couch. She called it her 'Secret Stash' and she would visit it daily. She loved to play with her little items from time to time. But one morning, Marli walked downstairs to check on her stash and it was gone! She knew that there had to be a thief in the house, but who? Marli re-stashed new items and waited for the next theft. It happened when she was asleep again! She once again re-stashed and camped out for the night. She laid in the living room, determined to stay awake. Finally, it happened! There was a loud growl and a huge monster took all of her things! Brave little Marli chased it, "Hey! Come back here you meanie pants!" She finally caught up to it and pounced! She was surprised to find that it was a plastic monster and it had stopped making noise......Marli looked up at Liz, very confused. "Silly dragon, it's a vacuum!"
