So here is my first "An American Tail" fan character. I've got 2...maybe 3 undecided still...

Here's Butterbean not her first choice for a name but eh, whatcha gonna do when you're a Lab Mouse? She was born and raised inside of a lab pretty much where they were bread to be studied on with experiments or in some cases sold off as pets. In her groups case they were going to be sold off as pets, but that changed when one of their own experimented on himself...creating a split personality that decided to turn against them and started to speak with one of the scientists. They wanted to know more...and so started to put the Mice through genetic experiments...most of which never came back to tell the tail. One day a little homeless girl found her way into the lab and spotted the mice. They chanced talking to the girl and convinced her to set them free.. just before they had finished the escape the mad scientist and the mad mouse came in. Now, they didn't know that the mouse was a bad guy at this point, and so escaped WITH him....which enabled him to track down...even more mice.. to help his boss with.

The little girl whose name is Iris, kept the little Orange and White mouse she'd helped and called her 'Butterbean'. During their journey the two separate so she can go back to the Orphanage where there are 'no pets allowed'...outside of the cat.. but still meet up from time to time. Butterbean runs into Tony & Fievel who promptly LAUGH at her name (that she despises) and tell her that it's gotta go! Tony dubs her the nickname of 'Bebe'....and ta-da...! That's where the friendship and journey starts. (Iris made Bebe's clothes... BTW...explain more later) XD
