Little Beanie and Friends
Say hi to Little Beanie, my very first creature in this world!
^ My first sketch of Little Beanie.
<1.Little Beanie is Born>
Little Beanie was a soybean grown by a farmer. Unlike the other soybeans, who dreamed of becoming great crops and fought over the size of their sprouts, Little Beanie was a “weird” bean that grew limbs. She spent days making robots and all sorts of inventions and was scolded by the farmer for making “useless junk.” Eventually, she ran away to the Forest of Dreamers to find her own safe haven.
As soon as she landed in the forest, she built the mushroom cottage of her dreams and spent all day building new inventions.
But she quickly grew lonely. She had no friends to admire and rejoice at other new inventions with.
<2. The Pigeons>
Then one day, a married couple of pigeons flew by and spotted Little Beanie.
"Great heavens, a newcomer! I'm Pigeonitta, and this is my husband, Pigeonitto." coo-ed the Pigeon lady.
"We're excited to greet our new neighbor!" coo-ed the Pigeon Gentleman.
"Great to see you two! I'm Little Beanie!"
Little Beanie greeted Pigeonitta and Pigeonitto into her cottage. As she sipped tea and they pecked on bird food cookies, they chatted about her inventions and her lately struggle with finding ingredients in the forest.
"We can help with that!" The couple looked at each other and smiled.
In no time, all the ingredients Little Beanie was looking for was right there, in front of her!
Finally, Little Beanie completed her flying jacket! With Pigeonitto and Pigeonitta, they flew up to the sky.
As they watched the beautiful sunset, they decided to become friends and collaborators!
<3.From then on...>
Months later, winter came around. Little Beanie looked out the window and was greeted by the thick layer of snow. Other soybeans ought to have been harvested by now, served at someone's plate for dinner. Yet here she is, in the warm mushroom cottage with her friends, living the dream life as a dream inventor (artificer) with blossoming friendships. As they gathered and decorated the Christmas tree, she became truly grateful for herself for chasing her dreams and her friends for helping her make them happen.
