Gender: Male.
Species: Sprout; a unique closed one off species that is a cat and plant hybrid that is made out of and consists of ground soil, a main plant and the flowering bush "mane" around his neck. The plants that grow on his back and neck are the following;

• Roridomyces Roridus; is the species of white mushroom that are found growing on his back and neck. It is commonly known as the dripping bonnet or the slippery mycena, is a species of agaric fungus in the family the family Mycenaceae. It is whitish or dirty yellow in color, with a broad convex cap 5–15 mm (0.2–0.6 in) in diameter. The stipe is covered with a thick, slippery slime layer. This species can be bioluminescent, and is one of the several causative species of foxfire.
  
• Lachenalia Viridiflora; is the species of plant that is basically his tail, as it grows where his tail would've been if he wasn't part plant. Common Name: Cape Cowslip. Family: Asparagaceae Juss or Hyacinthaceae. (Two different sites have completely different plant families for the same plant? Uhmmm...) Lachenalia viridiflora is a most appealing autumn- and winter-flowering bulbous plant, growing up to 200 mm high. Its startling turquoise blooms place it among an exclusive group of plants with turquoise, greenish-turquoise or sea-green flowers that include the exquisite green ixia, Ixia viridiflora, from Western Cape, and the dazzling jade vine, Strongylodon macrobotrys, from southeast Asia. Although critically endangered in its native habitat, the ease with which L. viridiflora can be cultivated as a pot subject has endeared it to gardeners around the world.
  
• Dianthus Gratianopolitanus; is the species of flowering bush that makes up almost all of his bushy mane, there are a few mushrooms that grow in/on his mane however they count as a different plant. Common name(s): Cheddar Pink and Firewitch. Dianthus gratianopolitanus is a species belonging to the Caryophyllaceae family. It is a herbaceous perennial blooming from May to June. Flowers are fragrant and rose pink. Grows best in full sun, and has medium water requirements. Overwatering or poor drainage leads to crown rot, and they do not tolerate wet winter soil conditions. This plant is moderately salt tolerant.

Physical Disability: Blindness - Beo was born blind and despite this, his eyes are a brilliant seafoam teal. However although he is blind, he has heightened hearing, touch and taste to make up for it and can "see" by hearing and feeling his way around, this is because that his hearing is similar to the echolocation that most bats have.
On top of his heightened senses; he has a magical gift, which acts like an fifth sense; for he can see the magical energies or life forces of other beings and even objects like books, trees ect. This acts a lot like seeing, however everyone looks ghostly in appearance. (This is partly inspired by the french anime; Wakfu.)
Role/Occupation: Herbalist, alchemist assistant and occasional babysitter or assistant when you need it. Basically Beo will tend to help out where he can. Although he is well versed and skilled in the art of gardening, he still enjoys other activities (amazingly enough despite his blindness) such as drawing, reading and even playing video games or watching TV. He especially loves sipping on a hot drink such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate or apple cider on a cool autumn day.
Abilities:

• Gifted with leaf speak, he can easily communicate with plants and encourage them to grow up healthy and strong. The plants on his body are apart of him as well as individuals in their own right. He has a symbiotic relationship with them and cares for them like the plants in his garden. If you catch him murmuring to himself, he might be talking to the plants growing on him or any of the plants in his garden if he's out there of course.
  
• Being part plant and having hightened senses has it's advantages: he is very in tune with his surroundings, often catching subtle changes in the weather or the animals long before anyone else does. If there's a storm brewing or something worse, he'd be the first to know and will share this information with all of the other residents of Myst Grove before it happens. Maybe weeks or days in advance: often giving his friends a warning well before it even happens.
  
• He unlike other cats, loves water completely and is a very skilled swimmer! It's rare to find him very far from a source of water in the summer months as he likes to stay well hydrated and his plants are included in this. His garden is always well cared for and he tends to swim in lakes or ponds during summer to keep all of his body well hydrated.

Personality: Friendly, kind, caring, outgoing, honest, loyal, brave, protective and creative. He loves being outside in nature, especially if he is deep in the forest surrounded by trees and a slow flowing stream. He finds that sunning himself with the sounds of a slow flowing stream and birdsong in the air to be quite calming.
Sexuality: Pansexual Demiromatic (only develops an attraction to another after getting to know them personally)
Young/Children: Beo doesn't have any children yet, but he will often help cares for the younger residents of Myst Grove alongside Zuma, Arissa and his best friend, Chime. But technically his garden is full of all his plant children and he'd most likely be the one to care for any Honeygilders or the like once they moved into Myst Grove, of course!
