Firey (BFDI)

Firey is the main protagonist of the animated web series, Battle for Dream Island.
In the first season, he serves as one of the three main protagonists (alongside Leafy and Bubble), the overarching protagonist in Battle for Dream Island Again and Battle for BFDI/Battle for BFB, and a cameo character of Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two.
He is voiced by the series co-creator, Michael Huang, who also voices several other characters in the series.
==Appearance==
Firey is an anthropomorphic flame. The outer flames are orange and his inner flame is yellow orange. His outlines are burnt orange.
==Personality==
In the first season, Firey is usually more independent than others, however, he spends a lot of time slapping with his rival, Coiny. Firey is also forgetful, as he forgets that lava can kill Leafy. In the end of the season, he gets more of an understanding of his surroundings and shows signs of genuine sincerity.
In the rest of the seasons, Firey is noticeably more arrogant, as he completely ignores Leafy by "forgetting about her", because she stole Dream Island and to save his reputation. Despite their conflicts, he still cares about Leafy, and the latter fully apologized to him to make up for her actions, which rebuilds their friendship.
Firey is also a little dim-witted, as he believed that Gelatin, disguised as Flower, thought it was the real Flower, and believed the real one was an impostor.
