Name:
Mifiti (from the word 'Mafuta' meaning "fossil" in Swahili - because possums are often referred to as living fossils.)
Mimi for short.
Gender:
Female
Fact about opossums:
Possums have a great immune system and are resistant to snake venom.
Favorite thing about his/herself:
She is amazingly flexible, which helps her impress her friends and climb trees - and other stuctures that regular beans would struggle with- with ease.
Art of him/her playing dead:

No other bean
A song by Tesserae
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi, perched beautifully on a branch.
Looks out across the world.
The other beans, though strong and tough,
Have never been this bold.
No other bean has seen this before,
None have gone so high.
No other bean has sat on these branches,
And gazed into the sky.
But there she is, breathtakingly calm.
As she reaches to touch a cloud.
Not even birds can soar above
Without drawing a crowd.
Mimi whispers to the wind.
The silence up there is bliss,
The other beans, though surely free
Don't know they're missing this
No other bean has sat here before,
None have climbed so high.
No other bean has seen the birds,
That soar beneath the sky.
But there she is, unnaturally calm.
As she reaches to touch a cloud.
No other bean has ever heard,
The noise of the wind so loud.
Mimi must go down some time,
But now she sits in peace.
No other bean will do these things,
And accomplish such huge feats.
No other bean has whispered to the wind,
And watched birds fly below.
No other bean will sit on this branch,
And grasp the sun's warm glow.

Introduce yourself, Cole.
You just said my name. Why should I repeat it?
Gender:Call me a girl and you'll find yourself missing a couple teeth.
Fact about opossums:Oppossums are actually quite similar to JBDs - part of their diet includes the same fruits and insects that JBDs snack on, and they are marsupials, carrying their young in their pouch just as a JBD would.
Well that's interesting, isn't it? //sarcasm
Favorite thing about his/herself: I've been chased by cops 23 times. I've been caught 0 times.
Yeah... we're all so proud of you. ._.
You should be. It's probably more than you've accomplished.
Art of him/her playing dead:
Yo fuzz, turn around a second. I dare you.Friends and Aquaintances:MichelleMichelle found me passed out on her couch one morning. I guess she took it pretty well considering the curcumstances. The circumstances being that I had just escaped yet another police chase, I still had my cans of spraypaint 'round my waist, and I broke into her house for a place to crash. She said I was welcome to stay, unless I got myself arrested or screwed up something 'round her house or messed with the kiddos. So she's pretty cool, as far as adults go.
TonyYou know, I don't think Tony likes me much. Thinks I'm, like, a bad influence or something. But no matter. I don't like him much either, and he doesn't try to pick any fights, so we're cool.
KaiCute kid. I'm like, his idol. That's pretty cool. I'm teachin' him things that kids should know: cops are bad, watch your back in a dark alley, how to check for cameras before you graffiti something, etc.
The PoliceOur local police suck. Or I'm really good at running. Or both. You know, I might hate them if it weren't for the fact that they're so funny. I just can't take those guys seriously.

I was hanging upside down from a tree, humming to myself quietly when I heard some music from afar. I listened a bit harder and recognized the song, 22 by Taylor Swift. I began to sing along, having memorized all the words from the last time I listened to it.
“It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters,
And make fun of our exes, uh uh, uh uh
It feels like a perfect night, for breakfast at midnight,
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh
Yeaaaah
We’re happy free confused and lonely at the same time,
It’s miserable and magical, oh yeah…
Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines, uh uh
I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don’t know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright, if we just keep dancing like we’re 22…”
I sang along happily, not even realizing that I’d left my tree and was walking towards where the music was coming from. I stopped suddenly, finally noticing that I had not even the slightest idea where I was going. After having listened to the music for another couple of minutes, I just shrugged, decided that the music was too good to let be, and continued walking in that general direction.
Another couple of minutes, lots of singing, and one song (7 things by Miley Cyrus) later, I’d arrived at the spot the music was emanating from.
I crawled into the bushes and peeked my head out on the other side. There I found the best discovery I ever made, my new friend Groggy –though I didn’t know that yet. She was dancing on the lawn while her music player sat on a table nearby. The song switched again, this time it was Kiss You by One Direction, another song that I knew and despite my best efforts not to, I began to sing along,
“Oh, I just wanna take you anywhere that you like
We can go out any day, any night
Baby I'll take you there, take you there
Baby I'll take you there, there
Oh tell me, tell me, tell me how to turn your love on
You can get get anything that you want
Baby just shout it out, shout it out
Baby just shout it out
And if you
You want me to
Let’s make a move
Yeah
So tell me girl if every time we
Touch
You get this kinda rush.
Let me say yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah…”
I stopped singing when suddenly, I heard, “Hello? Who’s that singing?” I froze as a hand reached into the bush and grasped around me, but not touching me.
“Anyone in there?” the girl said, closer this time. I felt the hand land on my tail give a sharp tug and I came sliding out of the bush by my tail. I blinked in the sunlight as I heard the girl jump up and scream, “Whoa,” making me jump as well.
She kneeled down to take a look at me while I tried to scramble back to the bush, tripping and falling on the way. “Hold on their little buddy,” she said. “What are you?”
I looked up at her and -feeling less shy and more outgoing (her mood sometimes changes with the mood of the music she listens to) - spoke, “I’m a Jellybean Dragon, and the question is who, not what. In answer to your question, my name is Symphony.”
“Oh!” said the girl, shocked. “Well, you can call me Groggy. Nice to meet you Symphony.” She smiled and from that day on, I knew I had gained the best friend I would ever have.

I mean no, I'm not Groggy... like I don't feel Groggy, but thats my name. I am Groggy, but I'm not Groggy. Meaning my name is Groggy, but I don't feel Groggy. Why is my name Groggy if I'm not Groggy? I'm never Groggy. Why did I name myself this? Oh wait, I didn't. Segie did. Thanks Segie, thanks for making choices for me.

Name: Caparina " Ri "
Gender: female
Fact about opossums: They are one of the shortest lived animals for their size, since they only live for about 2-4 years.
Favorite thing about his/herself: Her tail! She loves to chase her tail, and it keeps her warm when its chilly outside. She wishes it was strong enough for her to sleep upside down properly, but she figures out solutions to that.

Name: Furikomeru
Gender: male
Fact about opossums: Many people consider the opossum a filthy animal, in part because of their mousy gray coats but also because they're often seen foraging through trash cans and is known to eat carrion. In truth, however, the opossum is one of the cleanest animals around. They groom and bathe themselves meticulously, as scrupulously as the most finicky house cat, and have even been observed to stop in the midst of eating to clean themselves several times before finishing.
Favorite thing about herself: Furi is a very mischievousness (and cocky) little brat. His favorite part about himself (well, one of the many) is the fact that he is perhaps best known for faking death as a means of defense when attacked. While he is capable of falling over on his side, his mouth open in a death-like grin with saliva running out, from which state he cannot be roused until the danger is past, this is usually done only as a last resort. Furi loves this about himself. He loves playing tricks on other creatures and enjoys his acting (since he's always had an act for plays and books etc).
