Entry for 
The jar is the one he was found/raised in, little version is what he looked like young/as a baby, bigger version is current self

OH AND the sizes between things in this image are not accurate!! That jar is much, much larger, big enough to comfortably fit his younger self inside, and the older version is probably bigger then the younger version then what's shown here too. 

STORY

Once there was a very lonely, old woman, whose husband of many years had passed away from heart problems and whose children and relatives lived very far away. She was a kind, considerate woman and did not want to bother her relatives to come down to see her just because she was lonely. It was very hard for her though, and the sadness of being alone and missing her deceased husband took it's toll on her physical and mental well being. One night she awoke to a knock on her door but, whoever had knocked seemed to have ran away. She figured it was probably some kids playing tricks, as weird as that would be considering there were no neighbors around for quite a ways. She was just about to go inside when her eyes caught a glimmer of light reflecting in a little jar on her doorstep. It was a cute jar, one of those old-timey looking ones that you might keep jams in with the checkered cloth. On closer inspection, she found there to be a tiny creature sleeping inside, which she couldn't believe was real for a while dispite the obvious breathing movements it's body was making. She had wished not to be lonely anymore and, little did she know, she would never be lonely to the end of her days.

They were inseparable, the little creature, blueberry he called himself, was apparently a wish-granting race born from wishing stars. He constantly boasted about how he would return to the stars one day, his bright personality and colors filled the older woman's life with happiness. It was the greatest wish she could have ever hoped for.

Then her life had finally reached it's final days, she had lived a full life with all it's ups and downs, and she was very satisfied. Blueberry didn't want her to leave him, he wanted to give her part of his life so she would live longer, but she wouldn't allow him to. With her last breaths she told him how happy he made her life at the end, how grateful she was to him. It was her time, and she was sad to leave him too, but she wanted him to live his life to the fullest for her.

For a long time after that, blueberry was an emotional wreck. He forced himself to keep traveling, to see different places like he thought the old lady meant for him to do, but he was very emotionally fragile. A few times along his journeys, he encountered those who wished awful things in fits of anger, things like 'I never want to see you again' and 'I wish I never met you'. These were very upsetting to him, how could they just throw away their relationships like that, don't they know it could be forced away and they could really never see each other again? Occasionally he granted their wishes out of spite, how dare they take such precious things for grated, he wanted to teach them a lesson. Granted these dark wishes darkened his colors as well.

One day he meets an elderly gentleman who is very lonely, whose wife recently passed away and whose relatives all lived far away. The man reminded him very much of the old woman who raised him, and he found himself watching the old man more often then he should, he should have just kept on traveling. One night like many nights, the man was having a very hard time getting to sleep, his tears and thoughts kept him awake, and he heard a knock on his door...

Now in his travels, when he finds lonely or sad individuals, he does anything he can to help them. Bringing broken families together, introducing those meant for each other, and sometimes, even delivering a small creature in a glass jar to a doorstep on a lonely night.
