I am a fairly new member of Chicken Smoothie, I joined on June fourth, so I have been a member of CS for a little bit more than a month now.. A very close friend of mine introduced me to Chicken smoothie and I found so much to love about this site, and just about everyone I have met on it is really awesome. Before I knew much about the site my friend Ruki ki showed me her first Jellybean dragons Tazer Beam and Night shade, and I fell in love, it’s actually been almost a year since she showed me Jelly bean dragons, but my confidence in winning any kind of contest was very low, I haven’t won any beans yet, but I have been working diligently to try and win my first, since Bean #506. Though I have not won any
Jellybean dragons yet, I am proud to say my art and formatting abilities have both improved a lot.
The reason I decided to try for this Bean is because
when I first saw him I didn’t realize that his fur pattern was like sea charts.
But, the minute I looked a little closer, I saw the sea-like pattern and nearly squealed at how perfect he is. I adore anything and everything that has anything to do with oceanic life.

Name:✯Coava wrote:Nemo: As soon as I saw that his pattern was like sea charts, I automatically thought Captain Nemo. Though-
I don’t know much about the real captain Nemo, myself.
Thinking of Captain Nemo often makes me think of the Disney and Pixar movie, “Finding Nemo.” As stated earlier, I absolutely adore sea life and Finding Nemo is one of my favorite films.
Since thinking of captain Nemo reminds me of the movie, and the little clownfish, I believe that Nemo would be a very suitable name for this guy.

Item ideas:✯Coava wrote:The items that I think that Nemo would wear would be…
A simple captain’s hat: This makes Nemo feel very much like an explorer or the captain of a ship, so he wears it practically everywhere he goes.
A red Bandana: This is a red bandana that Nemo found in his parent’s abandoned belongings when they left home, he’s never told anyone but he’s worn it around his neck almost every day for as long as he can remember.
His pirate sword: Nemo carved this small sword out of wood that he wears on his hip. Though it may seem odd for a grown Jellybean dragon to have a pirate sword, Nemo is a very playful bean. He wears his pirate sword just about everywhere it’s appropriate, even if he’s not wearing it he’ll sometimes shove it in his pouch with a few other things, to hide that he has something he shouldn’t.

Personality:✯ Coava wrote: Nemo is a sweet and lovable bean. He never blames others for anything, even if someone else is responsible, he’ll take the blame. He’s trustworthy, if you have a secret and tell this bean, no other soul will ever know about it. While it’s good that Nemo is trustworthy, it’s not evident that this “happy go lucky” bean has his own untold secrets, he might tell the right person besides his adoptive mother, but for now he is sealed shut, like a superglued zipper.(84 words)
Five things he keeps in his pouch:✯ Coava wrote:1: Bandages: Nemo keeps a small package of bandages (Bandaids) inside of his pouch. Normally you might think- with how many scratches and cuts Nemo has gotten all the time that he would be the one he keeps the bandages for, but actually Nemo keeps his bandages to give to other beans whenever they’re hurt. Nemo is a very pain tolerant bean and he often doesn’t notice when he has a scratch or cut.
2: a small stick: This bean has a tendency to collect small sticks to keep in his pouch. He will never go anywhere where he knows that he could get bored, and might have to stay in one place for too long.
Whenever Nemo is bored, he’ll either carve the stick into a small object, or if the stick isn't thick enough, he’ll simply etch lines into it or peel the bark off of it.
3: a small telescope: Inside of his pouch is a small telescope he got for his birthday. Nemo’s telescope is one of his most treasured possessions, given to him by an adventurous regular at his favorite donut shop. Though Nemo adores his telescope, he’s a rather nosy bean and it often gets him in trouble to be caught spying on others. He even almost had his telescope taken from him once, but he was saved by a doughnut.
4: a birthday card: During the time of Nemo’s first birthday, after he was adopted, his adoptive mother gave him a birthday card along with his welcome into her home. Nemo keeps his card because he remembers the day they celebrated his birthday together as the best day he has ever experienced in his life.
5: a donut: This Bean’s one true love is sweets. Nemo especially loves the chocolate donuts, so much that he’ll do just about anything to get one. (But he would never steal; he’s too good a bean for that.)
I can’t say it’s always good how much Nemo loves donuts, if he has a box he’ll just eat and eat until they’re all gone. Unless he sees someone else who wants a donut he’ll gladly share the fresh ones and then will eat the one he keeps in his pouch later, after nobody is looking.
Nemo could also consider that a donut saved him from losing his telescope once.
A forceful bean whom he had been spying on once, had reached into his pouch to try and retrieve his telescope. But they got their hand stuck in his jelly that his donut was filled with, which made a very big mess that Nemo had to clean up afterwards. Nemo has told some folks about the incident and that he had been very sad about his doughnut being ruined, but at least his telescope was safe.
So he will always keep a donut in his pouch. (“Just in case”)

Three of his favorite things to do:✯Coava wrote:1: Eating donuts: This is Nemo’s absolute number one. Nemo loves eating donuts- just about as much as cats love to knock things off of your desk, or as much as dogs love to lick you.
Donuts are one of the small things that will always cheer Nemo up no matter what’s bugging him - a donut is the one thing that can always make him smile.
Nemo always takes his time to eat donuts, even if he’s busy. If Nemo sees a donut shop, he’ll stop and buy some. He is always keeping at least one donut in his pouch at all times, can often eat a whole box of glazed or chocolate. But he’s a sweet, kindhearted bean, so he will definitely share some of his donuts if you ask him, or seem like you need cheering up.
2: Exploring: Nemo is a very curious bean. Curious as the day he was born. He will do to a lot to learn about the things people are doing, even if it is none of his business. Though this often turns people’s views to think of Daniel as a pest, he really is just trying to learn about what your doing, not trying to get into your personal business. He enjoys watching things especially if it has something to do with something he’s never seen before.
But even if he means well, Nemo is still a very nosy bean.
3: Playing pirate: Nemo may be a full grown bean, but that won’t change the fact that he’s an overly playful goofball. He will use any excuse to play pirate, so this often leaves him playing with younger, or other overly playful beans, like himself.
Nemo is a very childish bean, so you will often find him playing pirate, be he hunting for treasure, or sailing an invisible ship- Nemo is one of the most fun beans that children love to be with.[/size]
(332 words)Back story:✯Coava wrote:• Nemo is a Happy and kindhearted bean, but he hasn’t always been so happy.
When Nemo was a young teen bean, his parents became very Ill. Nemo’s parents were poor and couldn’t afford a doctor to get themselves well again. Not wanting Nemo to catch the unknown virus his parents had developed, they told him they would leave and come back, but they never did.
When Nemo’s parents left, he was young enough that he should have been taken into foster care.
Nemo was old enough to decide that his parents weren’t ever going to come back.
Nemo was an independent young bean but one of his biggest fears was that he would be sent away to an orphanage.
Once he was old enough, Nemo got hired for a decent paying job, decent enough that he saved up for a small house.
After moving, Nemo taught himself to carve wood with his claws until he saved enough for
carving tools enabling him to make unique pieces of art, which he would sometimes sell. But Nemo saw carving more as a hobby.
Nemo preferred exploring and donuts over everything else, though he never had much money to travel; he always had a very imaginative mind, and found other things to explore.
But sometimes exploring got him into trouble, Nemo was a good bean, but he was often the sort who would get blamed for things other’s do, so he just accepted it in fear that conflict would let the teachers find out that he was orphaned.
So Nemo took the blame and the teachers dismissed it, deciding that he was just a glutton for punishment.
After he got farther into school, a lot of the older beans found they could manipulate Nemo into covering for them in almost every stupid or trouble causing thing they did. They even started bullying him if he tried not to, since he’d often take the heat for just about anything they did that they shouldn’t have. But it wasn’t until more than halfway through his third school year that Nemo finally got to a point where he couldn’t keep quiet about his secrets and troubles any longer. He felt that he needed to let go of his secret or he might explode. So Nemo went to his favorite donut shop to talk to the one bean he trusts the most. And then he told her his entire story, about his parents, his life alone, and the bigger beans bullying him and taking advantage, he was in tears while she hugged him.
The bean comforting Nemo was shocked; for years he had been a regular at her humble shop, but she had never seen him cry before. It hurt her deeply to see Nemo in such pain, because she was a kindhearted bean and had grown to love him as her own. After drying his tears, she decided that she loved Nemo and loved seeing him happy, after a day, she showed Nemo signed adoption papers.

Art:✯ Coava wrote:For the art, I decided to do something a little bit different this time, I’ve been drawing too much lately and I have a tendency to take very long periods drawing, I recently figured out how to modify a regular newspaper hat to be shaped more like a captain’s hat while I was playing around doing small origami projects for toddlers living in my house and thought that a captain’s hat would be a perfect thing to use to represent Captain Nemo.


Coava wrote:But after I finished making Nemo’s hat. I felt like it was really hard to see captain Nemo by just holding it up. So I attached a little red strap in order to allow one of my own dragons to model it.
Meet Chocolate.
Coava wrote:Chocolate is my standup model of one of the dragon plushies that my Mom made for me.
I used him for my model the hat, along with a little red scarf, because out of all of the dragons I have. Chocolate was the one resembling a Jellybean dragon the most. (and he was the only one the hat would fit XD )
