Jilly Beans

Jolene grew up with siblings. She knows Rai’s pranks are pretty harmless. Rai was terrified when the luchadora built woman asked him about it, but Rai explained he was just teasing Omi, Clay and Kimiko a bit, like he does with his sisters. Normal friend stuff. One eyebrow raise from the proud Texan Mama got him confessing that Clay’s hat is super rank (dude eats, sleeps and trains in the stupid thing! It’s almost as bad as his boots!) and he just wanted him to wash it, and got really flustered when he explained he only did the virus prank on Kimi to spend more time with her. Omi….well you’ve met Omi.

Jolene gives a nod as understanding but gently reminds Rai that some pranks lead to hurt feelings you can never recover from. That if he really sees Clay and Omi as brothers, he needs to know not to cross that line, because nothing is worth losing a brother. Tarsila nods in agreement with this.

Clay then asks why she never talks to Uncle Otis then, seeing as he’s her only brother. Rai says Mãe’s the same with Tio Carlos.

Jolene says Otis ain’t her brother, he’s the devil, and the devil doesn’t have relatives. He just has spores. Like mold. Which you would know all about with your boots and hat there stank boy.

I like to think after ‘talking’ with the parents, he does decides to let tradition mix with modern to an extent.

Oh, and you know the minute Kimiko got the green light from Master Fung (cause let’s be real, she’s his favorite) she upgraded the PISS outta the temple.

New security system and measures for the vault, gps tracking on all new Wu (and Dojo, and the boys, but shhh), facial recognition technology to stop any intruders, and to top it off A DISHWASHER!

Rai almost kissed her for that last one. (She had to give him a little kick in the thigh, you know, to keep up appearances, but gladly too it later…in secret…shhh)

Not my usual style but wanted to try my hand with the lasso again.

I also have zero clue on her casual wear soooooo , hope you like it.

Jill's mother is very conflicted when it comes to her daughter. She loves her and adores her like all her children, but...

Her older brother is a typical college boy, wild and crazy. Whenever the phone rings, it's him up to, or already done something troubling.

Hey younger brother was born at 6 months and was very weak for a few years. He's better now at 9 years old and highly intelligent, but there's still that fear...

Then there's Jillian.

Ever since she was born, there was something...different about her.

From disappearing in a blink of an eye at a store, to just chatting away with animals like they understand her, she's given her parents more than her fair share of scares. It really came to a boiling point when she was kidnapped from her backyard at 5. She was gone for a week until she just...returned. The man who took her was found dead, the cause never released to the public.

It was a terrible week for her family, and she doesn't remember it, so Jillian never brings it up.

But it still haunts her mother.

For the next 10 years, she's been nothing short of a helicopter parent to her in public. Her mom never let her wander too far in a grocery store, made sure she stayed in arms length on vacation, and put people through the ringer if they asked how she was doing.

Ballet was a outlet for Jill to get away from it all and just be free for a bit. Just her in the studio and the beauty of the dance.

Then the situation happened.

Jillian started going downhill socially and mentally after it. Many people turned on her in their small town, and her parents were at a loss on what to do. They were terrified of losing their girl.

Then a headmaster from a boarding school in China approached them about one of their children being a choice student.

Her mother was against it. Sending her off to a foreign country? Alone? She's barely been out of the USA let alone all of North America. She's a baby! Their baby!

Her father has a different view. She goes just for a while, until everything dies down. Until they can make sure she'll be safe at home.

It kills her mother...but she agrees.

Jillian agrees to go. It's what's best for everyone. It's what's best for her family. It's what's best after what she did...

When she returns home after becoming evil, her mother thought she would be happy. Her baby girl's home, she's safe, she's not thousands of miles away, she's back safe and sound.

So

Why does she look so sad?

Things hopefully get clearer when her friends from school come to visit.

They don't get clearer.

Her daughter is snapping at her friends, she's getting into more trouble at school, she's just getting worse.

Then she finds out about the boarding school not really being a boarding school.

And the courses not really being courses.

And the little boy with jaundice who was raised in a closet and a cult until recently doesn't have jaundice or raised in a closet and cult until recently.

She wants to be furious her daughter lied to her, she wants to be furious her daughter has been risking her life, she wants to be furious...

But...

She can't.

Because she hadn't seen her daughter so happy in so long as she has when she was at the temple.

When Jill decides to return, her mother lets her go. Because she knows her daughter happy is what she wants most.

This actually would be a fun episode. Kimiko so overjoyed to see her bestie after so long.

As for the others;

Raimundo would like her playful nature and devious pranks she has in mind. The two would get along like a house on fire. Keiko would then tease him if he prefers a summer wedding or a spring one.

Clay would find out her family has farmers in it and learn new farming techniques. She would ask so many questions about American culture and if certain things were true.

Omi would be fascinated by this brightly colored girl. Keiko would probably love answering his questions with sarcastic answers, but would quit it with one look by Kimiko.

Dojo would become another one of her fashion victims. The poor dragon getting carried around in a purse, dressed up, getting snacks while in said pur-wait…why was this bad again?

technically not a real ex just someone one of his sisters or mom try to set him up with when he was little that his just friends with now

I see what you’re thinking, and one up you his nieces trying to hook their tio up with someone. I lower it by adding my oc to it.

While the gang are visiting, the girls keep hearing the women telling Rai he needs to get himself a girlfriend. He’s a catch, it’s such a waste! What about that girl at the temple he talks about? He instantly shuts this down, but it’s too late. The twins have heard everything.

They see how mean the sour lady (Kimiko) is to their beloved Tio Rai, so they decide to find a better match for him.

Most of the girls in town are either related, or don’t see Rai that way cause they grew up with him.

Then they see how Jill treats Rai, laughing with him, keeping him in line, sharing her food with him, AND she’s a dancer like him! They’re perfect together!

Putting their plan into action, the two get frustrated as nothing seems to work. When the showdown starts, it’s them who suggest a Dance off. Jill and Rai manage to barely win the Wu against Jack and Vlad, who almost crush them with their combined Ballroom dancing and figure skating.

Quite a few actually! And I'm almost done with my rendition of her!

Met Kimiko when they were in elementary school and Kimiko got in trouble for altering her uniform. Keiko asked her to do the same thing to her uniform.

Big horror movie fan. From classics to slashers, she loves them all. This is surprising when you see how she dresses.

Very heavy into Japanese Street Fashion. Will alternate from Gyaru, to Lolita, to any form of Kei. Can never really decided on one to permanently go with.

Misses Kimiko greatly, as the Dragon of Fire was the only other kid she really could connect with.

Loves filmography and hopes to be a director someday. Loves the videos Kimi will send her of their travels.

Teases Kimiko whenever she complains about Raimundo. (So, wearing a dress to the wedding or a kimono?)

Can actually out prank Rai, causing him to respect her instantly.

Oh absolutely. We also see it a few times in the show as well.

Since Jill is also a dancer technically like him, the two are often seen training together.

Though the closeness in moves does make Clay and Kimiko jealous annoyed by their relationship.

No real reason. Just they shouldn’t be so buddy-buddy all the time.

I think at that point the young monks will be like 'Hey, we got magical items that will transport us to where we gotta go in seconds...why can't we go to college?'

Raimundo would take the Silver Manta Ray and help improve his hometown into becoming a soccer lover's paradise.

Kimiko would take the Golden Tiger Claws and rule the tech/fashion world.

Clay would take the Longi Kite and improve on his family ranch.

Jill's Wudi wu makes portals anywhere, so she can pop between China and Scotland in no time.

Actually, I had planned for Jill to turn evil after she got an acceptance letter to the veterinarian school of her dreams, only for Master Fung to tell her that there would be no college in her future. Her destiny is to fight evil and save the world from a thousand years of darkness.

All the pain, anger, resentment and frustration just boils over and the usually calm and sweet dragon of light just...snaps.

She becomes this cold vicious warrior, tearing her friends from the inside out by using what she was told in confidence at them. She breaks ranks from within, and all seems lost.

But... her friends refuse to give up on her. They know somethings wrong, she wouldn't just betray them like this. Then they find out, Dragons of Lights are prone to mental breakdowns as their brains can literally turn a switch if not careful.

The 4 monks then journey into her head using the shadow of fears. Managing to find her inner self, they restore her mind back to normal. As the others celebrate their victory back at the temple, Kimiko notices Jill's new room is empty. Going to their old stalls, she's about to ask if she needs help moving, only to find the stall empty, except for a piece of paper that reads; Sorry.

It leaves on a season cliff hanger where a door opens to reveal Jill on her home's front steps. She weakly tells her mom she's home.

The season premiere shows Jill's life as she returns to 'normal' living. Going to school where she's bullied by others, going to classes, practicing ballet then returning home. Her mom welcomes her back and says she has a surprise for her. Her friends are visiting. She then sees the monks in the kitchen hanging out with her mom and younger brother. She tries throwing them out but her mom scolds her for being so rude to her guests, then she invites the dragons in training to stay.

The episode would show that it's been a month since Jill left the temple and she hasn't contacted any of the others since leaving. The three older monks follow her to school where they see how she's being treated and try to stick up for her. This only lands her in detention and makes her madder at her old teammates. They finally want to know why she's avoiding them and left, to which she makes them compete in a 4 on 1 showdown. Hard truths come out as the monks start disagreeing with each other, before it dawns on them. She thinks they're still mad about her betrayal.

Throwing the showdown, the others beg her to come back. They miss her and forgive her for what happened. She just says she's where she belongs. She's becoming a horrible person, and she doesn't want to bring them down with her. She gives back her fans and elemental wu, and tells them she hopes the next Dragon of Light is kinder than she was.

The others return to the temple and tell Master Fung the news, he has to find a new Dragon of Light. This confuses him and he asks what they mean. He didn't pick Jillian. He didn't pick any of them. Fate and destiny did. It's then he finally realized that he's a big cause of what happened. He gets the monks to bring (kidnap) Jill back to the temple.

He has not only her, but Raimundo stand before him where he does the one thing no one sees coming. He apologizes to them. He let his own views and ways disrupt their growth, even when he could see it wasn't beneficial to them. He let his own pride blind him from seeing their actions for what they were. Rai being selfless in returning to help, Jillian having her future stolen. He promises them to do better, to be better, for that is what they deserve. Jill breaks down crying and hugs him.

when kimiko finds out due to shenanigans, her first thought its just getting rid of rai hair products because she finds raimundo with curly hair cute.

they do have a heart to heart at the end and raimundo tries to wear his natural curls more often though he does go back to his old hairstyle sometimes

I refuse to stop drawing certain asks. Life be damned.

I think they'd be in trouble with immigration more. Clay, Kimiko and Raimundo have passports, but Omi?

The minute the older kids hear the word ICE mention, they're already forming a plan to get Omi out ASAP.
