At some point in time, Smiley Bone's parents died, and he lived with his cousins, Fone Bone and Phoney Bone. They once fought over a coin they found, disagreeing on what to spend with it. Life was hard for the cousins, and Smiley had to steal pies from windowsills under the orders of Phoney because he was the tallest, and due to, apparently, they were poor to where they could not afford food. As an adult, he was known as the village idiot, and he often assisted Phoney in his harebrained get-rich schemes. Phoney mentions that when he became rich, Smiley made him pay everyone back. When Phoney Bone was forced to run out of town, he and Fone Bone came with him.

== Personality ==
Smiley is incredibly laid-back, cheerful, kind, outgoing, carefree and somewhat goofy, claiming in Out From Boneville that having no responsibilities makes him free as a bird. He is often seen as a happy-go-lucky kind of person, especially throughout Vernal Equinox, making him very sociable and easy to get along with, though this can get to the point where he ends up coming off as scatterbrained or dim-witted to others, particularly Gran'ma Ben, Lucius Down, and Phoney Bone.
Smiley has his joyful and happy-go-lucky personality throughout the series, but he also has his serious and sorrowful moments, especially by the time he has grown more mature after he first took care of Bartleby. The rest of the series after Rock Jaw: Master of the Eastern Border, Smiley has shown more concern about the reality of the war in the Valley, as he maintained cautiousness for his friends in times of danger. In the series, Smiley looks out for his cousins and cares immensely for them, and will fall into a state of distress when seeing either of them, especially Fone Bone, in trouble. Smiley is also fiercely protective of Bartleby; he refuses to leave the cub behind despite Gran'ma Ben's strict orders and he even tackled a Venu guard to help Bartleby escape from an angry mob following an accidental exposure.
