Design notes

• The flower is on Bean's back (the angle is a bit weird but it's on his back, not his shoulder!)
• He's approximately the size of a small kitten / large rat
• Some of the fur tufts got yoinked by the flower in the reference but he is a floofy boy :)
• Travels a bit but prefers warmer climates - if you draw him in colder regions/weather, be sure to show him cuddling up to another esk for warmth! 
• My little troublemaker 2022 edition^TM - feel free to draw him getting into everything, because if he sees something shiny he will steal it

lore

status: contending

Bean is currently contending with his own emotions and figuring out how he wants to live his life as an esk. His outlook on death has led him to view his form as a curse, as if the peace of death was robbed from him and he's now been left to do nothing but wander. He travels as a way to meet other esks and distract himself from the burden that hangs over him like a shadow. Suspecting that he was created by the same esk as Marian (5196), he's reluctantly agreed to join their search.

relationship with self

Bean isn't all that thrilled about being an esk. He believes that living a second life is more pointless than the first. While he doesn't lash out often, it gets on his nerves if another esk gets preachy about how great being an esk is. He doesn't share that feeling, and he sure doesn't want to be lectured on it. He appreciates the beauty of the world and doesn't regret being able to see it, but he still struggles with his own purpose as an esk. If he already lived what he was mean to live before, what is he meant to do now as a wandering spirit? 

relationship with other esk

Despite his chaotic nature, Bean is quite friendly around other esk. He has a joke-y attitude and likes to tease, but his jibes are playful and made with good intention. No, the real trouble is when he sees something shiny. If Bean wants something, he's going to get it. He's got a hoard hidden away in his boundary and it grows day by day. He steals from humans, animals (have you seen the stuff you can find in bird's nests?) and even other esks!
