Mrises Bo Peep( of Toy Story Franchise)

Bo Peep is a supporting character in the Disney•Pixar Toy Story franchise and the deuteragonist of the fourth film. She is a porcelain shepherdess figurine and Sheriff Woody's girlfriend in the films. Bo Peep and her sheep were originally adornments of Molly Davis's bedside lamp.300px300px300px
==Background==
She is inspired by the character of the classic children's nursery rhyme Little Bo-Peep. Bo is sometimes considered to be "Andy's toy" because Andy likes to make her the damsel in distress of his plays. Bo is the romantic interest (later girlfriend) of Woody, providing a calm and loving comfort whenever he is overwhelmed. She is noted for using her shepherdess crook to hook her cowboy and bring him closer in a romantic way. In private, she is a great deal more daring with her words and actions, which Woody seems to be quite fond of. In Toy Story 4, her origins are slightly explained by Woody to Giggle McDimples. She and her sheep were bought along with the lamp not too long after Molly was born, due to the baby being scared of the dark, which "broke every toy's heart", according to Woody. The lamp comforted Molly and she would often have her hand lay on Bo's feet.
===Development===
Originally, Woody's girlfriend in the first Toy Story was supposed to be a Barbie doll instead of Bo Peep, but Mattel refused to license the character to Disney. However, after the success of Toy Story (and boost in sales for Mr. Potato Head and other featured toys), Mattel gave Disney permission to have Barbie dolls in Toy Story 2, 3, and 4.
In the infamous Black Friday reel, Bo was actually the first to accuse Woody of deliberately throwing Buzz out of the window, and also participates in having Woody being thrown off the bed (and later, thanks to Slinky, out of the window). She might have felt terrible for her actions after they found out that Woody was gone. In addition, she sounded slightly different in this version, sporting a Southern Belle accent provided by Kath Soucie.
Bo Peep's shrinking role in the series after the first film is explained in The Art of Toy Story 3. Bo Peep was among the main cast of the first film as a voice of female reason and was not Andy's toy, but part of a porcelain lamp in Molly's bedroom. When traveling with the main characters, Bo could easily "shatter into a million pieces" whilst doing dangerous stunts. Due to being unable to find a believable spot in the story, Bo Peep only appears at the beginning and end of Toy Story 2. Bo Peep was ultimately written out of Toy Story 3, due to the fact Molly and Andy wouldn't want her anymore, and emblematic of the losses the toys have had over time. She also was written out due to the belief that Andy probably wouldn't have anything to say about her when he gives the other toys to Bonnie at the third film's end.
===Personality===
Bo Peep is a very romantic and levelheaded toy. She has strong feelings for Woody, which causes her (along with Slinky) to give him the benefit of the doubt when he allegedly murders Buzz Lightyear, whom she clearly considers attractive as well, and consistently whispers to the wall her worries about where Woody could be. Despite this, she still behaves like a free spirit. She only believes what she has witnessed for herself, such as when she looks into Lenny's visor and sees Buzz riding behind Woody aboard RC, while the rest of the toys immediately take her word for it. By the time she is moved to Molly's room, she becomes more of a leader amongst her toys as she is described by Woody to be the most capable of easing Molly's cries at night which often caused great dismay to everyone.
Since she parted ways with Andy, Bo has taken on a different point of view in life. As a lost toy, she never worries about being loved by a child and is open to see the world.
===Physical appearance===
Bo, along with her sheep, is a porcelain figurine. She has painted blonde hair with three curls on the back, light vinyl skin, and tall. In the original two films, her outfit consisted of a pink bonnet with a white ribbon, a pink dress with a long, poofy, white skirt that featured pink polka dots, a blue jumpsuit under her dress with ruffles at the pant legs, and black Mary Jane shoes.
In the fourth film, she has an updated appearance: Her skin is fairer, and her eyes are wider. In the beginning flashback scene, her dress has the same appearance, but the colors are brighter, and her dress is looser for Bo to move more freely, indicating that the petticoats and hoop skirt that gave it its original appearance were removed.
When becoming a lost toy, Bo is faded, and her skin, particularly around her face and arms, has been chipped. Her bonnet was burned from an incident involving a light bulb from her lamp exploding and was discarded, half of her dress is also discarded while the skirt has been created into a two-in-one skirt/cape that while still has the white side with pink polka dots, has purple on the other side with a plastic flower button to keep it in place. Her remaining attire is now her blue jumpsuit with pink ribbon wrapped around it, Mary Jane shoes, white tape on her right bicep, purple tape on her left wrist, and a large, pink bow on her head to replace the bonnet.
==Biography==
===Before The Movies===
Sometime before the events of the films, Bo Peep was found by a young female named Molly Davis. She soon became Andy's favorite toy and eventually met Andy's other toys - including (but not limited to) Slinky Dog, Woody, Rex the T. rex, Hamm the Piggy Bank, and Mr. Potato Head.
===Toy Story===
In Toy Story, Bo Peep is introduced as Woody's love interest. Andy has set up a stage and is portraying Bo Peep as a distressed shepherdess who is despaired when Mr. Potato Head, (One-Eyed Bart) "robs" the bank. While holding her at "gunpoint", he tells her to be quiet or her sheep (who are put on Andy's race track) will get run over which horrifies her. Bo then calls for help and Woody soon arrives to save the day yet again. Later, as Andy and Molly leave their bedroom, Woody tells everyone the coast is clear, causing every toy to spring to life. As Woody prepares an unplanned staff meeting, he is pulled away by Bo's crook. She kindly thanks him for saving her flock, and offers to get someone to watch her sheep, with the intention of spending time alone with Woody. The cowboy nervously giggles in response, but Bo then reminds him that she's "only a couple of blocks away" as she walks back to her lamp.
After Buzz Lightyear arrives in Andy's room, Bo is impressed by the space ranger like the other toys. Woody murmurs in jealousy to Bo how the other toys act as they've never seen a new toy before, but she defends them by saying that Buzz has more gadgets on him than a "Swiss army knife." After showing off his wings, Buzz takes on Woody's challenge that he can fly with his eyes closed. The action figure stands on the top of Andy's headboard and leaps off, landing on a ball, bouncing off of it to land on the racetrack, goes through the loop and gets caught on the model plane hanging on the ceiling, spins in circles, and lands back where he was, all with his eyes closed. Much to Woody's shock, the toys cheer in excitement, with Bo saying how "she just found her moving buddy".
Even after Woody is shoved to the side by Andy, who soon decorates his room with Buzz Lightyear paraphernalia and eventually writes his name on Buzz's boot, Bo still remains faithful to Woody and tells him she knows Andy is excited about Buzz but reminds him that he will always have a special place for the cowboy. But Mr. Potato Head overhears this and jokes to them about how the only special place for Woody is in the attic, causing Woody to angrily storm over and confront Buzz. Soon, however, they hear a kid laughing maniacally outside. The gang looks out the window to find Sid Phillips, Andy's neighbor, abusively playing with a Combat Carl toy in his backyard. After being informed by Rex that Sid tortures toys for his own pleasure, Buzz believes he should teach him a lesson. He is about to jump down from the window, but Bo restrains him with her crook, telling him to get down. After watching Sid blow up the toy, Bo says that the sooner the Davis' move out, the better.
That evening, after Buzz is accidentally knocked out the window, Bo Peep is horrified when Mr. Potato Head blames Woody for the accident, and she tries to stop the toys from ambushing him, but they are forced to retreat when they hear Andy coming back to the room. As the Davis family leaves for the evening, the toys try and use the Barrel of Monkeys as a chain to grab Buzz (not realizing Buzz grabbed onto the bumper of the family car as it drove off) out the window with Bo's crook, but it's too short, and they've used the whole barrel.
That night, the toys are shocked when they hear from Andy that Woody has gone missing. She comforts a saddened Slinky and tells him she hopes Woody's okay.
The next day, She is surprised to see Woody in Sid's room. Bo asks Woody what he is doing there, to which Woody tells her that he'll explain later. He then tosses the gang Christmas lights across so Buzz and Woody can shimmy to Andy's window. But Mr. Potato Head holds the lights away from the gang, telling them that they can't just forget about what Woody did to Buzz. Woody tells them Buzz is with him, to which Mr. Potato Head asks him to prove it. Woody then uses Buzz's arm (which broke off after Buzz unsuccessfully tried flying) by hiding it behind the window and impersonates Buzz. But then Woody accidentally pulls Buzz's arm into the toy's view, and Bo screams in horror. Worriedly facing the possibility that Mr. Potato Head was right about Woody, she walks away from the window, trying not to think about it. The night before Moving Day, Bo watches a depressed Andy sleep while clutching onto his cowboy hat. Bo then whispers how if only Woody could see how much Andy misses him.
Later the next day, after the toys, under the orders of Mr. Potato Head, throw Woody out of the moving truck, thinking he was only trying to get rid of R.C, Bo Peep was unable to do anything to stop them, but then Lenny the binoculars catches sight of Woody riding R.C with Buzz. Bo picks up Lenny and looks through his eyes to indeed see Woody, Buzz, and R.C catching up to the van and Buzz's arm fixed. Bo confirms to the gang that Woody was telling the truth, to which the now guilt-ridden toys band together to rescue them.
A few months later, it is a snowy Christmas morning and as the gang parties and listens to Mr. Potato Head karaoke, Hamm tells everyone Sarge has a view of the kids' presents. Woody follows the gang but is once again pulled back by a bonnet-less Bo. Woody tells her there must be a better way to get his attention, but Bo nonchalantly wishes him a merry Christmas and points upward with her cane. Woody looks upon the bookshelf and notices her sheep-holding mistletoe, to which a smug Bo drops her cane, grabs the cowboy, and smothers him with kisses. Soon, Woody (now covered with kiss marks across his face) sits next to Buzz on the bed and listens along with the gang as they hear Andy excitedly getting a new puppy for Christmas, shocking all of them.
===Toy Story 2===
Unlike the rest of Andy's toys, who were upgraded to a larger role than the original film, Bo Peep remains a minor character, only appearing at the beginning and end. She first appears when the toys search for Woody's lost hat. Bo, her sheep, and Molly's troll doll arrive in Andy's room, saying his hat isn't in Molly's room, despite looking everywhere. As Woody becomes upset, saying this will be the first time he'll miss Cowboy Camp, all because of his hat, Bo tried to cheer him up by reminding him that Andy will take Woody regardless of his missing hat. Woody then apologizes and explains that the camp means a lot to him since it is the one time in the year he can be alone with Andy, which causes Bo to pull him closer to her with her crook, and she calls him cute for caring. Embarrassed, Woody tells her not to do it in front of Buzz, but Bo simply tells him "to let him look". The two are about to kiss when they see Bo's sheep in a tug-of-war with Rex and his gaming system.
Slinky then announces that he has found Woody's hat with Andy's rambunctious puppy, and Buster begins to approach Andy's room, so the Green Army Men and Rocky Gibraltar hold the door while Bo tells Woody to quickly hide. Despite the toys' best efforts, the dog charges into the room and finds Woody. Andy soon arrives, and when he decides to squeeze in one last playtime before he leaves, he once again makes Bo the damsel of distress, being held hostage by Evil Dr. Porkchop (Hamm). Porkchop tells Woody to choose Bo's fate: Eaten by sharks or death by monkeys. But Woody says he chooses Buzz Lightyear, so Buzz arrives and knocks Porkchop off his pedestal while Woody rescues Bo Peep. She then professes her love by kissing him.
After Andy accidentally rips Woody's arm and decides not to take him to the camp, the toys try to call out to a saddened Woody that was left on a shelf, and Bo asks if he's okay. Woody doesn't answer and pulls his dangling legs up from their view, causing Bo and Buzz to share a look of worry. The next morning, when Woody attempts to save Wheezy from being sold by Mrs. Davis, she and the other toys witness Al taking and drive away with Woody, and Bo Peep asks why someone would steal Woody.
Later that afternoon, Bo and the other toys examine what happened by making a diorama, and Hamm (with the help of Etch A Sketch) makes a presentation, trying to create a sketch of the "kidnapper". Bo points out that he didn't have a beard and that he wore glasses. Eventually, they discover that the man was the chicken mascot from the Al's Toy Barn commercial.
Before the toys leave to rescue Woody, Bo walks up to Buzz and kisses him on the cheek, saying it is for Woody when they find him. Buzz blushes and awkwardly agrees but says he doesn't think Woody will get it directly from him. Buzz says he will do his best as Bo smiles. She joins in on the other toys waving goodbye to the main five walking across the roof to find Woody.
She is not seen until the end of the film, where the group returns with not only Woody, but also with Jessie, Bullseye, and the Aliens. She watches Woody admiring his newly fixed arm done by Andy. When Woody says he did a great job and flexes his arm, saying it's nice and strong, Bo squeezes it and says she also likes it, saying it makes him look tough, causing Woody to giggle. Wheezy, now fixed with a new squeaker, says to Bo and Woody that he feels well and feels a song coming on. As Wheezy grabs Mr. Mike's microphone and sings You've Got a Friend in Me, Bo, Woody, Buzz, and Jessie soon watch together from the desk as Wheezy finishes his number.
===Before The Events of Toy Story 0003===
Bo Peep is The Entirely One of The Central Protagonists. The film shows that sometime in between the second and third films Bo assisted Woody and the other toys in rescuing RC from being washed away in the rain. However, upon getting RC safely inside Molly's bedroom, Mrs. Davis enters the room and collects Bo Peep to give away to a friend. Woody attempts to rescue Bo, but she refuses to go back with him because she isn’t one of Andy's toys and being given away is one of the hardships a toy might have to face as their owner grows up. Bo hints that Woody could come with her, as toys can be misplaced and lost, but although Woody considers it, he decides to stay after hearing Andy searching for him.
After she was given away, she went to be the lamp of two little girls. Unlike what Mrs. Davis did with Andy, their mom wouldn't let them play with Bo or the sheep separately, so they played with her in secret until they outgrew her and gave her away. There, she had several interesting owners until she was just left outside on a street when she was found and placed in the Antique Store. One day, she overheard Harmony's mother talking about taking Harmony to a park, and desperate for a play, she snuck out and had a play. Eventually, she realized her calling was helping lost toys find owners, so she ditched her pink dress, replaced them with blue bloomers, and has been helping toys ever since.
===Toy Story 3===
Bo only appears in the background in the home videos of Andy playing with the toys. She is later mentioned by Woody during their final staff meeting. Woody says that the main gang is still together despite losing their friends to the past yard sales and spring cleanings. He uses Wheezy and Etch A Sketch as examples, and Rex awkwardly adds Bo Peep to the list, which visibly saddens Woody.
===Toy Story 4===
Nine years later, Bo Peep is reunited with Woody at a playground while she is helping lost toys find new owners. When Woody requests her help to rescue Forky from Second Chance Antiques, she initially declines, stating that she can’t handle being around Gabby Gabby, but after Woody persuades her on how important Forky is to Bonnie, she agrees to help.
The two reach the roof of the antique store, where they meet up with Buzz as well as his newfound “friends” Bunny and Ducky; the group then heads inside, where Buzz, Ducky, and Bunny retrieve the key, while Woody and Bo recruit a friend of Bo’s named Duke Caboom. The group then infiltrates a china cabinet where Gabby Gabby is holding Forky hostage, but in the struggle with Gabby’s henchmen and the store owner’s cat Dragon, they barely escape, resulting in Forky being left behind, and Bo Peep’s sheep breaking one of their legs.
Woody tells Bo that they need to go back in there and rescue Forky, but after the chaos that ensued, Bo refuses. The two get into an argument, in which Woody ends up insulting Bo indirectly, telling her that loyalty is something a lost toy wouldn't understand. Heartbroken by his words, Bo Peep leaves.
As Bo and her friends return to the carousel, Giggle McDimples mocks Woody by mentioning how selfish he is to put his life on the line to rescue one toy. Upon hearing this, Bo realizes that that trait was what she liked about Woody, and convinces the others to return to the antique store.
When Bo arrives back at the antique store, she overhears Woody talking to Gabby Gabby after the latter is rejected by store owner’s granddaughter (even after Woody gives up his voice box to make it happen). Woody convinces Gabby to travel with him to be one of Bonnie’s toys, to which Bo Peep further convinces Gabby and reconciles with Woody.
Woody, Bo Peep, Gabby Gabby, and Forky regroup with the rest of the lost toys, where they all travel back to the carousel to meet up with Buzz and the rest of Bonnie’s toys. Upon reaching their destination, Woody and Bo Peep exchange goodbyes, knowing that they will likely never see each other again. Buzz on the other hand, tells Woody to “follow his inner voice”, implying that Bonnie would be alright without him. Realizing that Buzz is right, Woody changes his mind and decides to stay with Bo Peep. The shepherdess, upon heating that Woody wishes stay, jumps onto the canopy and embraces him, knowing that they will remain together again. They other toys then arrive and briefly reunite with Bo Peep, before having to say goodbye to their old friends. Bo and Woody then watch from atop the carousel as Bonnie and her toys leave the fairgrounds.During the mid-credit scenes, Bo, alongside Woody and the lost toys travel alongside the fair, releasing various carnival toys to hopeful children by rigging one of the fair games so that each kid always win a prize.
