    Username:
    .o p t i m i s m., but please, call me Opti or Rose. <3

    Dragon Name:
    If I had the honor of owning this blonde dragon, I would name her Diana.
    This beauty reminded me of Green Arrow's sidekick Artemis. Artemis has beautiful blonde hair {the gold on her fur}, wears a green costume {The green markings}, and has stunning stormy gray eyes. Although Artemis was already taken, Diana is the Greek form of Artemis, and the name is absolutely beautiful.
    {Exactly 50 words for the explanation}

    There was always something odd about her...:
    Diana was born hearing, but at the age of 7 contracted Spinal Meningitis and was lucky to survive. But unfortunately, she damaged the hearing nerves in her ears almost profoundly. She is almost fully deaf but knows how to speak. How, you may ask? Having lived 7 years of her life before contracting the disease she learned how to speak as a child, but simply cannot hear most sounds. But throughout most of high school the female bean kept it a secret through reading lips and speaking as she always had. It wasn't until her junior year of high school -When she wasn't watching someone's lips closely enough and interpreted incorrectly- that she finally admitted her secret.

    {Note: For those who don't know, Spinal Meningitis is a airborne bacterial disease that causes the inflammation of the spinal cord connected to the brain. This usually results in death, but the lucky few have brain damage. Diana's hearing nerve was damaged through this disease.}

    200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle:
    A beautiful memory....
    The blonde bean skipped towards the meadow with her lunch in hand, only 8 years old. The green markings seemingly danced on her fur as she darted through the patches of sunlight quietly humming to her own tune. And then came the distractions. Diana blinked as a moving brown shape moved out of the corner of her eyes. A duck! And ducklings! The bean wandered off the path and down towards the mallard duck and her ducklings. She calmly extended her hand, giggling as the smallest duckling pecked at the freckles on her fur hungrily. And suddenly, Diana had an idea! She unwrapped her sandwich and started extracting the lettuce before dividing it up into pieces for all the ducklings. Handing a piece to each, she soon realized that they were still hungry! Next went the bread, and last, she fed the pickle to the smallest duckling enthusiastically. "Better?" She whispered, as the duckling gulped down the green shape with gusto. "Good." She giggled, batting her storm gray eyes. Diana gently stroked the soft fluff on the duckling's head while humming a little tune. Somehow, she just knew. This was a memory that would stay with her forever.
    {200 words exactly. Phew. <3 }

    {Good luck to anyone trying out for this gorgeous bean, whoever gets her will definitely be getting gift art from myself. :P }

Username: notes. Not sure if you've seen me around before. ^^
Dragon Name: Lime. Simple as that. You know, like the fruit? People sometimes call her Li, though. ((pronounced li as in liar))
There was always something odd about her...: I mean, she didn't seem to be capable of telling lies. I mean, of course she did, what do you do when someone finds you stealing turtles from the pond or cookies, but she just couldn't handle it. She always, always, no matter what, covered her face with her tail when she lied. So, when one day, she did a very silly little thing, she had to admit it. Perhaps I can figure out what happened? She can't lie, after all.
200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle: So, what happened?
"I wasn’t thinking.” Uh-huh.. "It was the perfect day to do have fun. I was at the lake when I saw a duck. I fell in love. Wait. It wasn't like me. How could we be friends? I had to give it freckles, like me. I dashed home, squirming duck in hand. I looked in the fridge. Blueberries? Grapes? No. Pickle? Yes! I got the pickle. I squeezed it over a container. The container filled eventually. Pickle juice! I dipped my finger in and immediately regretted it. The juice was gooey. I dabbed some on the duck and looked back, admiring my work. Then, I dragged my new friend back to the lake. If notes found it..that would be bad. When I got back, I saw notes, obviously angry. I looked up at her innocently. Duck? Pickle? Pickle juice? Oh. It lay on the counter, a green puddle. Eww. 'What happened?' 'Just cleaning up seaweed from the backyard.' I forgot to remove my tail from it’s usual place on my face, so i'm sure she only heard 'seaweed...in backyard.' ‘Hm. I don't remember seaweed.'
I never was a good liar.
((199 words according to google docs. phew))
anything in italics is one of the things you asked for. ^^ Thanks for the chance to try for this beauty. <33

Username: flyteck

Dragon Name: Apple
Her green markings remind me of granny smith apples, her yellow base makes me think of golden delicious, and her freckles remind me of the spots some apples have. The brown on her feet is the same colour as an apple stem. Her nickname is Appaloosa, because of her spots.

There was always something odd about her...:
Ever since she was a bean, Apple has had frequent visions. They are a lot like dreams, and in the same way you have little control in dreams, Apple has little control in her visions. They can strike at random, although stress almost always triggers them. They aren't "weird" in the way some dreams are (ex. chasing lemons on winged lemurs. You know those crazy derpy dreams XD), but are very surreal. The environment is often real but warped, such as pink trees, floating rocks, or a purple sky. These visions are almost always untrue, but often reflect real events that have happened or will happen. Apple can read these visions fairly well, but not always. Although most visions are not "scary" per say, they always have a grim element of some sort. This can range from a dark environment to her life being in danger. In times of hardship in her life, Apple sometimes longs for her "dream world", a safe place a small few of her visions occur in. She is in control here, like a lucid dream. This place has soft pink grass and a light pink sky. Grey blue mountains rise into the sky, cherry blossom trees grow in thickets, and small grey stones float inches from the ground in some areas. There is always a reddish pink mist in the air, almost like fog. She feels most at home there and never has experienced a nightmare in that place.

Apple does not collapse when a vision hits. Normally, she'll pause in whatever she's doing, and her eyes will close. She will generally stay silent, with occasional noises of fear or discomfort. Many people don't even notice she's fallen into a vision. Her expression will change, and you can tell her eyes are moving behind her eyelids. Her ears will also flick around, like she's listening to real sounds. When she comes out of it, she'll normally brush it off and get on with her life, although some visions are too much, and she'll need to sit down. Nobody has found a cause for her visions, or a way to snap her out of them. They normally only last for a few minutes, although some can be only a few seconds or almost an hour. She keeps a journal of all her visions, and combs through it frequently, looking for answers. She also draws her "dream world" frequently.


200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle:
Apple trotted down the street, heading to her favourite place. The soft dawn light shone on her fur as she headed out from behind the tall buildings and into the open. Soft grass and cattails surrounded her as she treaded slowly down towards the pond’s edge. Visiting the pond at sunrise was one of her favourite things to do. She approached the water’s edge and dug her toes into the soft mud, breathed in the smell of mud and water, listened to nature’s symphony of crickets and birds. Out in the middle of the lake, a family of ducks paddled slowly about. Apple smiled as she noticed one of the ducklings had some freckles on its cheeks. The mother duck was picking away at... was that a pickle? Apple watched the mother duck roll the pickle around, creating ripples that glowed in the dawn light. The little freckled duckling paddled towards her and stopped a few feet away, gazing up into her eyes. “Hello there little one,” Apple whispered, a small smile on her face. Suddenly, the mother duck let out a loud quack, and the tiny duckling splashed back over to her. Apple smiled and gazed to the sky.

200 words bang on


Really love this girl <3 Good luck everyone~

Username
.Alucard.
Dragon Name
Ventore
Ventore doesn't really have a meaning I just thought of it off of the top of my head. I thin it sounds cool but that's just me.
There was always something odd about her...
Well, the thing that is odd about her is the fact that she always draws on her self, now what the drawings are can very from her mood, but the most common thing you see on her body are song lyrics written on the inside of her fore arm, and bats drawn on her face, by the eye. This is called odd because you never see her without any drawing on her body.
200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle
So the day that I started to draw on myself, happened when we were learning about ducks in Jelly kindergarden. We had an artist speaker come talk to us. He had pale skin and had ginger hair with little freckles spread all over his face he also had the strangest markings all over his body, he called them tattoos, I thought those were the coolest things. He spoke about how to make tattoos, a lot of Jellys were sick by it, but I found it interesting. Snack time came soon and we were having pickles. But after, he gave us nontoxic pens, and said that we could draw on ourselves. I didn't want to make myself look like an idiot in front of this man. So I drew a duck, since we learned about them they were already in my mind. I thought it was alright, but apparently it was good, because the artist was so blown away that he took a picture of it and added it to his tattoo collection. To this day I still draw all over myself in my highschool class I was known as the most decorated Bean, but I will never forget that day.

Username: Austriagirl, at your service

Dragon Name: Duckle, but most people just call her Duck
(get it? Duck, pickle, freckle)

There was always something odd about her...:
though no one knew what exactly. She chewed on her tail, she giggled at the most awkwardest of moments, she talked funny and with slurs, and she daydreamed a lot. The teachers whispered about her in school, and the students spread rumors. Duck kept her head down and just kept staring off into space while remaining head of her class. No one understood her, and she didn't feel the need for them to.
In 8th grade, however, Duck decided to tell the entire school her story. She was nervous, but she needed them to understand, to at least know what was wrong with her.

"He-hello." Duck spoke into the microphone unsure of what to do. She breathed deeply and began her speech.
"I-i am sorry for i-interrrupting y-your lun-ch ti-time, b-b-but I have somefin impo-por-portant to s-say. Everyone th-thinks I am j-just stupid and slow, b-but I am just a normal kid l-l-l-like you." She got more into her speech as the students eyes started turning to her. Her slurs became less, her stutter smoothed out.
"I m-may sound strange to some who- who have never heard me talk. But I-I need to tell y'all somethin that I-I have neva eva told anyone i-in here. I have d-down-syndrome, and i-it affects half of my brain, w-which is why I can't sp-speak to you all so well. B-but I'm getting over it, conquering it, and I do my best." Duck smiled as the rest of the students finally turned to her and it became silent in the room.
"I just h-hope you can forgive me and not say mean things behind m-my back anymore. Cause' I know you do. Thank you for listening..." Duck smiled, and gave a clumsy bow.


200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle: And this JBD, of course!
Duck smiled as she skipped out of school. It felt good to have told the entire grade about her problem, and in the end everyone had given her a round of applause. She finally felt good about herself. As she approached the door, she heard a voice call out, “Duck! Could you come here for a second?” Duck turned and saw her teacher standing not too far away, holding something in her hands. Duck grinned and came over.
“W-what is it Ms. Ronal?” She yelped with joy as she saw a little duckling squirm in Ms. Ronal’s hands. It had such cute freckles!
“Where did you f-find him Miss?” Duck asked, as she realized that the duckling’s momma wasn’t anywhere to be seen.
“I found him in that bush over there honey, I don’t know where his family is! I was hoping you could take him home and maybe take care of him?” Ms. Ronal knew how much Duckle loved ducklings.
“Sure, b-but I don’t know what to f-feed him! Do y-you know?” Duckle asked.
“Yes, you can feed him cubed pickles and bread!” Ms. Ronal exclaimed.
“Okay, I will take care of the little duckling!” Thank you, Ms. Ronal!

Dragon Name: August
There was always something odd about her...: August has always been... special per say. August was always considered a late bloomer. While all the other dragons of her age had already been communicating and speaking, she never quite learned until a year later! Even now, being fully grown, her horns haven't began developing yet.
200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle: Sighing in annoyance, I forced my tired body –drawing can be some hard work- and clambered outside into the open field near my house to go pick the pickles my mom asked me to. Sauntering through the open area of blooming azure forget-me-not flowers, I heard a strange sound.
“Quack!”
Strange indeed. I nearly tripped over my own leg, but luckily, using my amazing skills, (not) I managed to catch myself. I looked behind me to find a nest of eggs, all of them open and empty… except one. Well, it was opened (now) but not empty. I eyed the little duck suspiciously, wondering where it’s mother and siblings were. Then it struck me-
“Are you a late bloomer?” My eyes widened as they softened with compassion. The poor little guy. Being abandoned and left for dead simply because it didn’t hatch with the others. The duck blinked at me, it’s body loosing the moisture and fluffing up slightly. I paused, wondering why the duckling was standing around watching me. Maybe it was my freckles?
I shrugged, beginning to walk away to find someone to help the duckling, but was surprised by the duckling following me. Oh crap… he imprinted.
