Personality:

Jellybean, usually known as Bean or J.B. to her friends, is as outgoing as her adoptive mother is standoffish. She is happiest in the company of large groups of dogs and especially males as she is quite the flirt. Bean enjoys casual romantic relationships with many street dogs, happily flitting between lovers. In contrast to her attitude to other dogs, she avoid humans at all costs as she is deeply afraid of them, a trait picked up from Willow.

Background:

Just a couple of weeks after she was born, Jellybean was orphaned when her mother passed away. For several hours she shivered next to her mother's body, but her distressed squeaks caught the attention of Willow who was passing by. Willow immediately took the puppy as her own and raised her, constantly showering her with affection. Under her adoptive mother's loving care, Bean grew into a big and strong young dog with a real knack for making friends. While she always remained close to Willow, as a young adult she moved on to living in a small dog gang headed up by her 'cousin' Dash (Dodger and Rita's daughter). Despite their contrasting personalities, Jellybean and Dash were very close, each becoming the most trusted friend of the other. Jellybean eventually had two litters, one of eleven and one of eight, each with different fathers. She doted on all her babies, and two of her sons remained in their gang for life.
