♕ Hello! ♕

Before we continue onto my form,
I'd like to give you, reader, a quick introduction.
Hopefully that will give you a feeling of who I am,
and how that influenced the beautiful character you're about
to meet.

As for my reality: I'm a highschool student taking advanced
classes, an author, a horseback rider and a dog trainer.
I can be found on most websites, and am a bit too friendly
for my own good. I'm a nonowner when it comes to JBDs,
although I've been stalking watching the
community for quite awhile and have tried out for some
of my own, but never won. While I'm not exactly the
best artist or author, I do my absolute best to breathe life
into each and every one of my characters through art and writing.
While my characters may not have the prettiest art or the most
grammatically - correct stories, I can promise you that each
is well loved, thought out in detail, and sketched on every available
sheet of paper. I'm an active, literate roleplayer with a JBD Fanforum
account, a Skype account, and many more.

Without further a-do, please allow me to present to you:
Princess Harper Orpheus Sithia of Adonis!

When Harper was just a baby, she
experienced a minor case of meningitis.
It was caused by a virus, and she was cured
of it in under a week. However, one of the
serious symptoms of Meningitis is
hallucinations. Even after she was cured of it,
Harper continued experiencing hallucinations
when she felt an extreme emotion. If she was
happy, she would see clouds of butterflies.
When upset or afraid, Harper would see large
black silhouettes. Around the age of seven,
the hallucinations inexplicably stopped, although
they are occasionally featured in her dreams.

If Harper was asked to describe herself, she'd probably fake a serious medical crisis in order to escape the question, laughing at "the priceless look on your look on your face" just afterwards. Luckily for us, Harper isn't the one being quizzed.

One of Harper's main characteristics is her compliance. She's a crowd pleaser, in short. Raised by a mother who insists Harper "is and always will be a princess", Harper has learned to wear the ridiculous dresses and jewelry. While she despises being anyone but who she truly is, Harper will go through the tedious process of painting her nails and stuffing herself into a dress just to see her mother happy. In a very similar manner to Ciria, her mum, Harper can be selfish when things boil down. While much of her personality is similar to her mother's, including her irritable and selfish side, she's very similar to her father as well. She despises change and has trouble adjusting to new people or places.



While Harper did acquire some aspects of her personality from both of her parents, she is her own person, and as such has her own personality. Highly intelligent, Harper's favorite subject of thought is the idea of self-change and self-improvement. She insists that she can always get better, can always be better. One of Harper's major personality traits is her mischievousness. Likely taking root from her mother's days of early rebellion, when Harper's home alone (or even in a room alone) chaos will ensue. Pranks, sliding down banisters, breaking things... You name it, Harper's done it. Harper is a hopeless romantic who swoons at cute couples, a klutz who always manages to trip over her own tail, and a little punk rocker. Her punk side is a little more subdued, as it has been discouraged by many, and is limited to her musical tastes and the way she dresses when she's in private. Confident and fun loving, Harper seems to have bought into her mother's idea that every little girl is a princess and as such should behave properly. Although, Harper's take on "properly" includes tossing mud pies at the homes of her enemies, so we'll use that term loosely. Harper despises conflict and, against her confident nature, will often keep away from even a verbal conflict. Confrontation has never been her thing - after all, she is a crowd pleaser.

While Harper doesn't believe herself to be better than others, she can be a tad overly confident and a bit of a disaster on four paws. With a dramatic and chaos causing personality, Harper has a tendency to break things in her path that she doesn't notice. While Harper gets distracted easily, she is incredibly intelligent and ambitious, and honestly believes she can do anything she sets her mind to. Harper is afraid of very little - except the dark.

Harper believe respect should be earned, and walks with her head held high, regardless of how much mud is on her crown.

Keep Your Eyes Open - Needtobreathe
While Harper isn't exactly the most religious, this song means a lot to her. Some interpret the song as a religious one, others still relate it to relationships. When it comes to Harper, however, this song means everything. Depending on her mood, the song can take on one of two different meanings.

If she's angry, upset, or sad, the song rings true with it's lyrics about how hard things can get sometimes, but things will get better if she just keeps fighting.
If she's in a good mood, Harper will often find herself tuned into this song for its incredible lyrics, smiling as she lip syncs or belts out the vocal harmonies, all while banging on the air-drums.

Ciria and Harper are much more alike than Harper would care to admit. During Harper's early years, she and her mother have a gentle and kind relationship, with Harper trying on whatever ridiculous outfits her mother pushes her way, brushing her tail out to match her mother's perfectionist ideals, and doing her best not to anger the easily irritated Ciria. There always seems to be a tension between the two, although Harper is convinced that they both love each other (she'd never admit it, however.) The two have good days and bad days together - if Harper manages to irritate her mother early on during the day, you can bet arguments, yelling, and a grumpy Harper will be involved until sundown. If the two keep each other happy, then the day will fly by, occasionally ending with Harper leaning gently into Ciria, who hums a lullaby. During her teenage years, Ciria suspects that she and her daughter will grow further apart, but only time will tell.

Despite Sithis's lack of parenting skills, Harper utterly adores her father. His childish demeanor around the two makes her giggle quite often, and she seems to study him, to a degree. After hours each day of clinging to her father's side, Harper seems to have picked up some of his sarcasm, as well as her father's lack of self-pity. Harper listens to his stories eagerly, and is especially intrigued by the story of "uncle Mana". She enjoys playing games with him, but gets angry quickly if he is ignoring her simply because he lacks the time. She always wants to be the center of his attention, and gets frustrated when Sithis is focusing on something other than his daughter.

The relationship between Harper and Sey is an odd one, to say the least. Sequinn is probably the only bean that Harp would set her selfishness aside for, but you wouldn't be able to tell by the way they bicker. The twins fight about everything - from who's book is more interesting to which parent loves who more. At the end of the day, however, Harper can always be found by Sey's side - warming him up by the fire, her face nuzzled into his fur.

Chance the Delta Velorum Fox is a close friend of Harper's. The duo met when Harper was outside digging up the garden once, and ever since they met they've been causing trouble. Harper finds Chance's sense of humor and general selflessness refreshing, and Chance loves Harper's free, fun style. While they occasionally get in arguments over Harper's selfishness, they usually end up friends again.

Emery the Viscet is someone Harper considers her "archnemisis". The two don't even remember how they met or what their first argument was, but they've been butting heads ever since. Emery lives nearby the Sithia family's home with her older sister, and whenever the two run into each other you can rest assured that fur will fly. Their arguments are frequently caused by Emery's bossiness and Harper's selfishness. Deep down, Emery finds the arguments between them hilarious and cares a tiny bit about Harper. Harper doesn't seem to reciprocate these feelings, however.

Viola the Viscet is something of a mentor to Harper. Viola has a habit of self-improvement that Harper likes to study, and has picked up several of Viola's habits. These include her habit of "people watching", studying others and learning about behaviors and her ambitious drive. Whenever Harper is looking for advice, she often finds herself making her way to the introverted Viscet's home. Since Viola loves children, she doesn't mind Harper, and goes so far as to call her "little love" and "my girl". Harper never leaves Viola without some sage words of advice or an interesting quote to think about until their next visit.

Quick note: Several of the characters that Harper has a relationship with are not Jellybean Dragons, as you may have noticed. All the characters outside of the Sithia family that she had a relationship with are owned by me. I noticed that having relationships with out-of-species characters seemed to happen occasionally in the Sithia family (like the lovely Mippi Airi, for example C: ). If you have any questions or problems concerning this matter please let me know and I can change this ^^

Of course Harper would at some point have relationships with Jellybean Dragons outside of her family if I were able to develop her further. She'd probably go crazy if she only had contact with family members lol.

The night was cold, a chill setting over the home inhabited by the Sithia family. Only when she heard her brother's teeth hitting together did Harper realize just how cold he must be. Pushing her side gently into his, Harper gently wrapped a blanket around his shoulder. "It...It'll be okay." Her brother didn't seem worried as much as cold, but Harper had never been able to read her brother well. As she watched her parents move around within the living room, she remembered the day Sequinn had first uttered her name. Hers was the only name he remembered, seeding a need to protect him deep within Harper's heart. "Are you two ready?" Ciria asked quietly as she slipped onto the cushion beside the twins. Exhaling onto the kindling, Ciria lit a fire as Harper watched in wonder. Her mother's fire was red - a color Harper associated strongly with passion, fury, hatred and, oddly, love. For the first time, both Ciria and Sithis were preparing to spin a tale. Harper pressed herself gently into Sequinn's side, even though her father sat adjacent to the young beanlet as well. Opening the story book, her mother spoke quietly, her voice pulling strings within Harper's mind that couldn't help but trigger visions.

The story seemed so familiar to Harper, yet the words have never once graced her ears. Ciria began the story, her velvet voice ringing through Harper's mind. "Once upon a time, there was a castle within the French countryside. The night was cold, and rain battered every stained glass pane of the building. An old women, her skin wrinkled, her back hunched, approached the castle. Her only possession was a single rose. Seeking shelter, the women approached the castle and knocked gently on the door. The prince - a stunning young man opened the door slowly. The women then asked to stay the night in the castle, offering the beautiful rose in return. Disgusted by the women's hag-like looks, the conceited prince slammed the door on her." Sending a sly look towards Sithis, Ciria cleared her throat before continuing. "Ripping off her cape, the old women revealed herself to be a beautiful witch. Angered by the rejection, the enchantress turns the handsome prince into a vicious, hideous beast. Within the secluded castle, the beast lived alone for years - convinced nobody could ever love him. Between the chattering of his teeth, Sey opened his mouth slowly to speak. "B-but...tricked him!" Tilting her head, Harper curiously listened to her brother's insight on the story. Sithis nodded slowly from his position. "Most people side with the witch, actually, because the prince judged her by his appearance. But I suppose you're taking the prince's side?" Sithis's voice was smooth and calm. Harper remained silent as Sey thought moment before responding. "N-no. They...both wrong." Ciria nodded, blowing gently on the fire before passing the story book to Sithis, who continued the story.

"Years later, a young women named Beauty said goodbye to her father, a merchant who left on a quest in search of goods. Beauty had asked her father to bring her back a single rose, but before he is able to reach land and find a rose for her, his ship was conquered by pirates and he soon found himself in a strange land. Sithis paused glancing towards Sey. The young beanlet was quiet, waiting for the next part of the story. Ciria's eyes landed on her daughter, who was staring at the fireplace. "Harper...?" Ciria's voice was cautious, not knowing what to expect. "Do you see a shadow again?" Sithis's voice had a deep undertone of worry as he watched Harper nod. "Harper, c'mere. You're alright." The five year old girl was pulled into her father's embrace, but she continued staring above the fireplace for several more moments before the trance was broken. "S-sorry...I...scared from...story... Makes...things appear." Her voice was quiet and low, but she nodded for the story to continue. Sighing and hugging his daughter gently, Sithis passed the book to Ciria.

"The merchant found a castle and, seeking shelter from a rain storm, went inside. Once within the castle's walls, he discovered a massive garden. Awestruck by all the plant life, the merchant soon found a single rose, which he delicately pulled from the ground. As soon as the rose's roots had been yanked from the dirt, however, the doors swung open and the Beast roared inside. Angry that the merchant has stolen his only rose, the Beast tells the merchant that he must be locked away forever. The merchant, afraid, tells the Beast of his daughter and begs to return home, give her the rose, and then come back and be locked in the dungeon. The Beast, intrigued by the man's love for his daughter, obliges. The merchant happily returns home and reveals to Beauty what has happened. Beauty, a kind hearted girl, returns to the castle in place of her father." By now, Harper had stopped staring at the silhouette that only she seemed able to view. Instead, she faced her mother, who looked up when Harper placed an unsure paw on the book. "But... why? Why did she stay?" Harper tended to be quite selfish, and she was having incredible difficulties understanding. Ciria had heard the story when she was young, and had asked the same question. Smiling, the mother bean replied, "Because she loves her father. He raised her, cared for her, and now it's Belle's turn to repay him." The answer seemed to satisfy Harper, as she nodded slowly, turning her gaze to her brother, who she nuzzled affectionately, before nodding for her mother to continue. Sithis glanced at the two, and Ciria passed the book quietly to him.

Sithis began reading in one of his voices, but he glanced at Sey's face before dropping his fake impression of Ciria's tone. "Once Beauty reached the castle, the Beast offered her his finest room, taking wonderful care of her. For several months, Beauty remained in the castle, unable to leave, but treated well. Each night, the Beast would ask Beauty to marry him, and each night she would decline. Every evening, Beauty would dream of a handsome prince proposing marriage to her, and every night Beauty would agree, then waking only to find that she was still within the wall's of the Beast's castle. Beauty eventually became homesick, and the Beast allowed her to leave for exactly three days. He sent her away with a mirror, which allowed her to see what the Beast was doing, and a ring that would allow her to return to the castle." Harper's brow furrowed at Sithis as she glanced anxiously around the room. "But... why? Why he... let her go?" Sithis glanced at his daughter, his head tilted in curiosity. The answer seemed simple to him, but Harper didn't understand. "He loved her, and he wants her to be happy. So he let her go." He said, glancing at Ciria, who glanced at him through narrowed silver eyes. Returning to the story, Sithis readjusted the book's position and continued. "When Beauty returned home, her sisters were shocked that she had been living such a luxurious lifestyle. Incredibly jealous of their younger sibling, the two sisters began to plan. On the day that Beauty was ordered to return to the castle, the sisters force themselves to cry using pieces of onions, begging her to stay another day. Beauty agrees, and the two sisters rejoice, believing that the Beast will be angry that she has not returned and throw her in the dungeon. When Beast does not show up at the cottage, Beauty looks in the mirror and is horrified to find that the Beast has died from heartbreak. Using the ring to return to the castle, Beauty sits next to the Beast, sobbing, and a single tear lands on his jacket. The Beast disappears, and in his place stands the prince that the witch so long ago transformed into a hideous monster. Beauty rejoices, and the two are married the next day. Sithis shuts the book, turning to face his children. Sequinn remains shivering under the blankets as Ciria focuses on feeding the flames in the fireplace. Harper looks concerned, angry even. "What's wrong?" Sithis said quietly, his voice showing little signs of his worry. "That story is stupid. She only married...handsome prince, but refused to marry the... same person... he was ugly." Haprer shook her head, her tone final and cold. "That story is stupid."

The world was completely silent - sound that allowed Harper to relax. Waking with a yawn, Harper stretched before making her way to the window and glancing outside. A massive grin spreading across her face, the young beanlet watched in wonder as gentle flakes of snow graced the ground and treetops. Winter felt so magical to Harper. Even though she didn't care much for all the gifts around the holidays - a rare trait in beans of her age - she appreciated the sense of "magic". Rather, the cold that led to snuggly winter nights watching holiday classics and sipping hot chocolate would be forever ingrained within her mind.

Nudging Sey gently, Harper smiled as she turned to her bed and tugged a wool scarf free of the clutter. Motioning for Sey to be quiet, so as to not wake their parents, Harper wrapped him in the scarf before digging up various other winter clothes and bundling her brother up. Once Sey was coated in layer upon layer of insulation, Harper gently nudged open the door, entering the winter wonderland with a massive grin on her face. Butterflies - seen only to her - wove their way between the snowflakes, making Harper giggle. And for the first time in her life, Harper felt happy, truly happy. She felt like nothing was missing, like she wouldn't change a single thing.



Harper rolled around in the snow, coating her dark fur in a frosted white color. Her breath escaped her maw in gentle white wisps as she exhaled, snowflakes falling from the sky. Sey seemed cold and uncomfortable, but Harper turned her face to the sky - catching snowflakes with her mouth, a wide grin on her face - and he finally did the same. Rolling a snowball, Harper tossed it around before pelting it at a nearby tree. "New game!" She announced, her voice quiet but filled with joy. "Whoever can hit closest to the center of the tree while blindfolded...wins!" Grinning, Harper tugged a scarf over her eyes and began, every aspect of her being happy when Sey seemed interested in participating.

Time flew by, and Harper soon found that Sey's teeth were chattering. Slowly realizing just how cold it must be for him, Harper bit her lower lip. "I'm sorry, Sey," she murmured, the empathy that only Sequinn seemed able to access appearing. Huffing loudly in annoyance with herself, Harper felt a warm feeling in her chest. "Sey....?" She asked, a small spark igniting before her. "Sey, look! I can keep you warm!" Harper exclaimed, blowing gentle wisps of flame into the snow filled air, the fire casting a gentle light on the smiling faces of two young beanlets.
