A Bean Born of Adventure
"Wait, you hear that? The treasure is calling! Get your butt fluff propelling in the general direction my talon is pointing. ADVENTURE AWAITS!"
"It's not Grave robbing, it's historical ancestral research -_-"
"Bloody hell, and I thought that was bad."
= Personality =
-Strong willed-
If there’s one trait Jayleo has, it’s a resolve and unruly defiance to achieve anything she desires, she certainly isn’t one to sit on her butt fluff wishing for wishes she knows she can reach. Her motivation is unrivalled when her mind is set, she puts it to good use defeating her “enemies” and keeping her like natured twin brother from harm (he's got the irritating, flirty personalty that calls in trouble). Others assume her rebellious streak has been grafted from her twin, who shares the same brash qualities. Either way Jayleo’s bold behavior is only implanted around Beans she finds unsavory, if she doesn’t like you she’ll defy your orders with impudence.
-Generous-
Warm, gentle, calm and sincere Jayleo is a tender hearted bean, her affectionate nature knows no bounds. She loves snuggles with her closest friends and relatives, often whistling a soothing melody. It's said she’s inherited Uncle Amir's compassion if it were possible. She is never lacking a consoling word, being observant she senses when someone needs a hug and has a steady patience caring for beans she who deserve her company. However with her benevolent qualities springs an honesty and sincerity that's been refined to a direct bluntness, a trait she's unconsciously learnt from her mother. Many can’t handle what she has to say and form a server disliking to her frank methods. Jayleo Believes the truth will set you free and never lies if she can help it.
-Spirited-
Her main disposition and the one most associate her with. She leaps four paws into adventure never missing the opportunity to tromp off into the unknown. A level-headed, poised, and dauntless personality emerges from her youthful bravery and while nothing on the planet can stun her terrified, she respects that sometimes fear is a good thing and doesn’t cower behind false bravado- a throwback to her mother’s imprinted honesty. She is a stickler for being in places she doesn’t belong, and will defiantly stride off into the uncharted despite protests, her stubbornness and courage can thrust her into many hairy circumstances. But there is nothing she can't beat with her expertise swordsbeanship. Stemming from her confident, intrepid nature is a fierce instinct to protect her family and friends just like her father, to tamper with them is to incur her hard to provoke wrath.
-Witty/Clever-
Sharp, astute, quick minded, and incisive Jayleo has a mind that can radically formulate a plan and sling back a result at lightning speed, she might not be the most intelligent bean in the universe, and certainty not the smartest but her brain is like a well oiled machine storing everything she sees in vivid memory and retrieving them when she wishes.
At times it can be hard to keep up with her radically thinking brain, this has made her a superb swordsbean, her strategies ever evolving to suit the moment, her exceptional memory remembering every minute detail in her opponent. She has a wit unparalleled, her lashing tongue able to disarm even the most intimating of beans and as mentioned before she
certainty has a courage and determination to win any argument. Apart from the obvious uses Jayleo focuses her clever talents on being silly and attempting to make others laugh if her soothing words have no effect first, influenced by Cousin Wine's flamboyant and joking nature of cause.
-Adaptable-
Flexible, easy going, adjusted, and in sync with the world Jay-Leonardi isn’t a bean easily overwhelmed by life’s unexpected events, her strong will and caring demeanour are able to carry her through the brunt of emotional storms, her quick mind is able to adapt to any situation. She’s very in-tune with the world around her thanks to Mum’s naturalist ways, and can survive in the wilderness if need be. She's often good at weather prediction as a by-product. Jayleo loves wildlife and plants, especially trees, and began the slow process of bonsai-fying her favourite tree, a maple, to keep nature close to her heart. In her adult age it's a magnificent specimen, joined by many others in her own bonsai garden.
-Dexterous/ Persistent-
Deft, insistent, adroit, and preserving Jayleo never ever gives up or gives in, she will search for a solution to a problem with undying commitment, her determination able to see her through to the end. Along with Jayleo’s quick mind she can easily pick apart a dilemma to unearth an answer, a quirk honed to a craft by her grandpop who has nurtured her love of riddles and tricky puzzles - just, don't give her technology, she has no mind for machines with a tendency to break them.
Her acute sense of purpose and subtle changes in life’s many mysteries leads her to aid numerous individuals. However sometimes her persistent nature can thrust her down a path of obsession, her detective skill set an unhealthy mix when personal matters are involved, this can lead others to view her as nosey, rude, impudent, and intrusive.

Occupation:
|
= Occupation in detail =
Is a professional treasure hunter, she tracks down artefacts, gold, historical documents, ect for private collectors, museums and universities. Is the go-to girl if you ever need a rumour to be proven. Due to marrying an assassin, she also works for her Husbands guild in the exploration branch. She treads a fine line in doing so as it's much more risky work with an infamous name. = Quirks = - Whistles melodies when happy, sad, or attempting to cheer another Bean. - Has an affinity for pouncing on objects even in adult-hood. - Is an advanced Bonsai grower, her first bonsai is her most precious possession. - Is entranced by Lanterns all shapes and sizes. - Easily distracted by bird song often whistling back. - Gets overprotective of her belongings to the point of obsession. - Will argue a point even when she's wrong. = Voice Description and wording = Jayleo's voice is clear and sweet, almost melodious, that is if you can ignore the subtle rough gruff she's adopted. As a result her voice has a strength not easily forgotten. Not to mention she'll never let you have the last word with a lashing tongue able to disarm even the most intimating of beans. She likes to use a lot of British jargon starting with B such as; Brilliant, blimey, bloody (Bloody hell), bullocks, and honestly (or honest). = Pouch Innards = Jayelo's pouch is rather neat and tidy despite her spontaneous and adventurous lifestyle, she normally keeps a select few items which stay with her ether by choice or she's forgotten. They are a tea candle which she uses to she light up dark areas for her Twin, a tiny jar of salt for protection, lost lego bits from Amir's collection that have been there since childhood, and a knife. |

Leo's Side
* Not blood related In-law = Not blood related |
= Family Relationships =
Family tree: XxX XxX Mate Zayden: If opposites attract than you can surely count these two into such a category. Jayleo is your adventurous sort, a thrill seeker and intrusive family bean who wears a caring heart on her sleeve. Zayden is the reserved one, protective but withdrawn into a deep shell from which he hardly, if ever, emerges. How these two ever found love is a quirk of nature, and yet Jayleo couldn’t imagine life without Zayden, his very persona is endearing to a point she could curl up by his side forever. However she never would for their life is one huge endeavour, and that’s how she likes it, travelling on the road, completing missions together is what she lives for. Zayden is her one and only love even if feelings aren’t shared openly, she knows what he feels and that’s all she needs. Daughter ZJ: Children hardly entered the scene for Jayleo, no thoughts were ever given the expense of being thunk-up. But the day she fell pregnant and consequently laid ZJ's egg, was the day she knew she'd have a forever minion. Motherhood didn't change Jayleo at all, and she acts like an older sister, showing very protective qualities like she does with all her siblings. She shares a close bond with her daughter, and is over the moon that ZJ has a fancy to technology instead of treasure hunting. Twin Brother Michelangelo: Her Bro and partner in crime, it's a rare sight to see these two sitting quiet and innocent in each others company, normally their doubled appearance heralds trouble is underway. A dangerous mix is concocted between Jayleo's will-power and Mikey's rebellious streak leading them into all kinds of mis-adventures, and generally causing hilarious mayhem where ever they go even into adulthood. On top of this the twins are at constant verbal warfare, besieging one-another with bickerish taunts, jibes, and awful pet names, a bout will always conclude in peals of delirious giggles for their snarky remarks are only superficial and never penetrate their thick fur, although Jayleo does tend to embarrass Mikey when he's being particularly mean. Contrary to their seemingly rocky relationship the twins are as thick as thieves, Jayleo has a deep rooted, unswerving love for her brother and could never ever imagine life without him, to such an extent she's picked up on her fathers protective qualities and will blatantly shove him aside in order to investigate a dangerous situation before him. When free time permits, she can often be seen hanging out at his bar. Best Friend Strider: Jayleo can’t remember her life without Strider’s stoic presence by her side, like her Twin he’s been a constant revolving around her, if not even more so. From dot one she’s been on his case, teaching him that the outdoors is a place of wonder instead of being cooped up behind a screen, people are awesome too if only you gave them a chance. She can read Strider like a map, the only one who can, and knows when and how to push his buttons, effectively forcing him into situations that he doesn’t want to be in. These especially include her adventures and missions, a girl needs a handy techy after all. He puts up with it, and she can see that, their bond runs deeper than any relationship status can define and it’s the one unearthed treasure she’s always been grateful for. She will always have his back, no matter how many arguments they have. Mother Anevay: The one bean she truly confides in, Jay-Leonardi runs to her mother for advice, huggles, a loving lick, and release. Anevay is her most trusted secret keeper, whispering her deepest desires and terrors. She's her reassurance when she pretends she doesn't need one. In saying this the two aren't the closest a mother and daughter can be, this is due to Jayleo's love of blades and her ingrained fear that her dearest mother wont approve of her talents and disposition, it can make her edgy, jumpy, and closed when the subject is broached. Aside from this, these two can be seen tending to nature, Jayleo cherishes her time learning the ways of the bush with Anevay - the occasional wiggling tail is still pounced upon. Father Leonardo: Jay-Leonardi is extremely close to her father, he is her world of wonder and excitement, of adventure and swords. She looks up to him, admires him, and follows in his steps, literately! Being an adult doesn't mean she wont be under-paw, not for one minute going to miss out on the action. Where her father goes, marvels follow. Her grabby hands still reach for the assortment of blades he keeps hidden from Anervay, and she's always begging him for a sparing match. Grandfather(Pop) Base: Jay-Leonardi absolutely, positively adores her Grandpop, when she was younger, there was not one day without her jumping up in earnest to see her favourite grandparent. If she had her way she’d spend her whole weekends hunting down the detective bean, for if there’s one thing Jayleo loves more than sweeties it’s Grandpop’s treasure hunts and enthralling stories of his prime years. Like her father there is not one dull moment when she’s in his company, always another clue note to find or riddle to solve. Cludo is certainly neglected in their household for she’s thrust into the very heart of a real life board game. Cousin Wine: Jay-Leonardi is glued to Cousin Wine's side whenever he's in the immediate vicinity, she shares a strong bond with the airy, fatherly Bean and utterly adores his steady flow of verbal shenanigans. Thanks to Wine she developed her own wit and can often be seen trying to remember his better jokes while honing her prankster skills. Jayleo might not be a fan of potentially harmful practical jokes but she does dabble in cheeky revenges and moral inducing pranks, the latter involving Beans or people she thinks need a lesson. Wine is more often then not wrangled into her devious plots along with her twin, both acting as her loyal arsenal of tricksters. She still loves to make fake mustaches out of his tail tuft. Uncle Amir: Jay-Leonardi's first meeting with Uncle Amir was a full on bouncing tackle, she left no time for introductions liking the golden teenager immediately, nor did she care about the shyness he first exhibited because she saw right through to his imaginative, childish heart. The pair hitted off immediately from that day on, Amir showing Jayleo the finer points of being a child, and Jayleo relishing their time spend together. In truth she would never have known the true meaning of "being a kid" if it weren't for her uncle learning a whole new creative world full of imaginary monsters and lego creations. When in each others company the two (or three if Mikey's around) can be found playing pretend, Amir taking the Twins onto wondrous adventurers to far awaylands over the rainbows. From Amir Jayleo learned Kindness and to indulge in the creative arts, the world is her lump of glass to be blown into what ever shape she chooses. Today Jayleo likes to take ZJ to see Amir, and play like she used to. Friend Dale: A professional Treasure Hunter needs an admirer, and Dale happens to be Jayleo’s. As a kid, the raptor bean was a shadow, hanging off her every word when she happened to speak even if not directly to him. She didn't’t mind, after all she knows his attention is not over zealous or harmful to her missions. He’s a strange one, liking the symbols on her maps and artefacts. Nowadays, Dale is happy to handle any FBI related matter she has, whether it's a question about how "lenient" a law is, or to get her out of a pinch. This is all in exchange for a few artefacts and a peek at her agenda. |
Questionnaire
I sat down with Jayleo for a nice little chat, always enjoy talking to my precious blue fluff <3 She gave me a lot on insight into her character and unlike certain Dragons I know there was no bribery involved.
What do you think of your name?
I do like the idea of it being a mishmash of my heritage in an indirect way. Not to mention it flows off the tongue nicely. But blimey who wouldn't want their middle name being snagged from THE Winchesters ^u^
I personally love it! Feels right and perfect. Some beans and people call me Jay, my first's first name, but I don't mind.
And one might include all my scars, rather proud of them to be honest. Each tells their own story.
I have respect for myself.
Strider says they're "ironic" considering what I fashion out of my daily life, but I find them to be irritating. What adventurer wants their hide marked?
What's your favorite song? Got any you don't like?
nearly any type of berry and melon conforms to my taste buds. I don't like overly doughy foods, such as doughnuts and soft cookies -_-
is enriching. Plus coffee, life would not be right without caffeine. But blimey, I don't think I've come across a drink I don't fancy. Hmm, I must admit Coke doesn't sit well with me.
brilliant! Can't stand trifle, no matter how many times I try.
those movies. Hmm I don't like a lot of "chick flicks" they seem pointless and not very plot driven. Also Horror I detest that genre.
SuperNatural ^u^
difficult choice. I love Lord of the Rings and any book fantasy or action based. Don't like romance, bleh.
burning for eternity but I don't play games. Never had much appeal to me when I can roam the outdoors.
Honestly anything adventure based is my cup of tea. Don't much like being stuck at home washing dishes or other mundane tasks.
colour is BLUE! All shades and hues. And honestly there's no real colour I don't like, they're all stunning.
Storms also bring a sense of danger which I bloody love. I cringe when the dreary, overcast days set in.
favorite object, somedays I sit under a tree and sharpen it until it gleams. I don't much fancy microwaves. . . the noise they make is unnerving.
even if Strider pushes against boundaries. Least favorites would be anybean foolish enough to obstruct my brilliant explorations.
the ones who give generously, more so sincerely. I can't stand liars! Honestly there is no worse personality trait. What are your favorite items/effects?
It's seen me through tough times and is the one object I can rely upon. After my sword I'd have to say the lanterns made for me by Uncle Amir ^u^
without it I'd be left near defenseless, I'd feel naked without it's brilliant sharpness by my side. Uh, the lanterns not so much, they look decorative.
more then the world to me. Foremost would be the first wooden blade Dad gifted me. Next is the studs Strider gave me for my 12th birthday.
One Jar of salt, never know when you might run into the supernatural. Two tea candles, ah some lego bits, a map . . . And OH! Looky, a really old clue note from grandpop :3
Cargo pants are made out of a breathable, quick drying and hardy materiel, they also have heaps of pockets which is brilliant all round for casual adventures. Button up shirts are easy to tear for any wounds which may occur.
get his clutches into it. Normally he brushes it into a nice sleek appearance with a slight swept look.
honest. But yes, I guess so. I'm small enough to fit into tight spaces yet high enough not to be at a disadvantage. |
Describe your personality in 5 words.
and determined!
Well I can be a wee bit intrusive.
I can't cheer them up.
the world, as is controlling your emotions. But the one thing that irks me is people picking on the weak -_- Or on my family for that matter.
Also preparing for a brand new mission, one that I have yet to experience it's type.
people trying to bluster their way through to my good books, it pisses me off something chronic. Can't stand my falchion dulled ether.
bad days, and I have nothing to hide. I guess being naive over a subject and later discovering you were indeed a total noob. *Shudders* I despise that feeling.
Hmm that’s a good question depending on your point of view, because, well, you know – I’ve done a few actions others consider bad. But in my eyes it’s accidently pushing people past their best, and expecting more.
It is my forte.
on occasion. Yet my biggest fear is of one day losing my eye sight, without it my world would be a dismal place. . . I also have an irrational fear of ghosts, heh, it's stupid but once I thought I felt the presence of one. Probably an overactive mind after watching supernatural though.
from them I learned near everything I know. Strider helped shape my personality too, the bloody moron. How do you feel about your friends?
and that reason nestles neatly into the realm of trust.
Despite Mikey being a down right turd. I doubt I could live without the large family I have, so many new faces and it’s always GROWING.
strangers are, casual encounters are taken at face value. I like to give the benefit of the doubt no matter who they are. Normally I’m quite enthusiastic to meet new people.
family, so I act as if they’re my family.
We were little beasties at the time, I heard a rustle in some bushes while out with Gazsi, we were looking for the book of truth at the time and I thought he might be a monster! So I tackled him to the ground. We never left each other’s side since. Zayden was a different matter, I caught sight of his scars while ordering coffee and it hited off from there, hehe, he seemed quite surprised to discover I didn’t scare that easy. Jilly was actually a planned meeting, I decided it was about time I met Sollux’s sister.
my wayward life I can't say I have. I've spent too much time revolving around quests I never stopped to "smell the roses".
heart sneaks up on you likes it's got a sense of humor. Not going to disclose who though, it's my confidential intel.
bugger at keeping this quiet. . . He gave me my first kiss. The bloody moron thought it’d be funny to give me a soggy, wet reward after saving his life.
for instance if it wasn’t for my father I’d never known adventure, or to take care of myself while out on it. Mother gave me knowledge of plants and honesty, and Grandpop Base showed me the thrill of riddles. Bloody hell, there are so many I can’t say them all.
time with my twin sisters as I should. Oh and causing Strider to break his arm >,< Why? They speak for themselves of my neglect. How did you grow up? What's your history in a nutshell?
you wish your butt to be glued to that chair.
that I was enrolled into a university which I promptly dropped out of, too much book work for my liking when there’s adventures to be had. At school I was the athletic kid, I guess, to be honest I don’t know what I’d be classified as.
*Winks* But when I’m not striving to enter a certain guild I work for the same University I dropped out of, they hired me to scour the lands for artefacts and ancient valuables. In essence I’m a treasure hunter and professional explorer.
siblings. By dwelling I'm going to translate into my room. It's chock full of artifacts, news clippings, and research papers. My HQ one could say.
some I normally spend it with ether my family, or Strider, mostly Strider though. |
