A leather chest belt and gold pauldrons ยท a spear with a bud-shaped tip on a vine-twisted shaft ยท a bean-pod shield with beans showing through ยท a brown scarf ยท a leather pouch full of beans. As he levels up the spear tip changes from a bud to a leaf shape, a pod and then a pointed leaf blade, and the shield's gold trim and vines increase. A leaf-pattern breastplate and greaves are added; in the end a leaf helm and golden armor come with a cloud step and vines spread beneath him.
Habit
Before a fight he checks the knots on his bag and the direction of the sprouts.
Catchphrase
"Grew this much today. Tomorrow will be different again, right?"
Weakness
If his precious bean pouch is in danger, he drops the spear and shield and runs to it first.
Proud of
He dried the very first small leaf that grew and tucked it inside his bag.
Likes
A new leaf more than yesterday, a well-dried earthen pouch, a spear that fits his height. He dislikes tugging a sprout to make it grow faster, a snapped spear shaft and too much vine that hides his friends.
Secret
One bean he never planted sprouted by itself one day.
Gets on with
Cumulogoose โ when Cumulogoose shades the pouch from strong sun, Goose and the Beanstalk blocks a bit of wind and rain with the grown leaves. When Cumulogoose dozes, he never shakes the stalk.
Awkward with
Asparagoose โ the same stalk people, so every time they measure who has grown taller. Asparagoose insists it has never lost.
Weather & seasons
In spring he shows off his sprouts, and in winter he makes a place for the leaves to rest.
At first there were only a few beans in his bag. While the other gladiators picked shiny weapons, Goose and the Beanstalk opened the pouch, set one in his palm and whispered, grow well again today. He was laughed at on some days. But when the stalk sprouted, he did not leave it as decoration. He learned the direction it grew, propped it where it bent, and finally raised a spear and shield that could be used on the battlefield. With that spear he does not so much fell enemies as block their approach and protect the allies behind him. Others call him a lucky goose. He is a little aggrieved by that. It is because he kept the bag from getting wet in the rain, gave the leftover water to the beans, and checked for new leaves every day even after the sprout came up. On a day he fails in battle, instead of getting angry he turns the soil over a little. If someone asks why, he answers, "Because tomorrow it will grow again." He is a little afraid of heights, but he learned to climb one rung at a time holding the stalk. What matters more to him than whether the giant's castle truly exists is whether the friends who climbed with him can get all the way down.
