The Hostage (Bonnie's Bakery)

The Hostage is the main protagonist of the 2022 horror game Bonnie's Bakery. 
The Hostage is one of Bonnie’s kidnapped victims and she plans to use their remains as ingredients to sell to residents of her hometown to keep her business up and running. The hostage awakes in her basement trying to find a way to escape and expose Bonnie and shut her business down.
== Appearence ==
The hostage takes the form of a blackish - purple silhouette humanoid figure and is assumed to be genderless. However during the DLC, Bonnie referred to the hostage with feminine pronouns, meaning they are most likley female. 
== Personality ==
Probably after eating at Bonnie’s bakery, the hostage grew suspicions and paranoia about Bonnie and her business, which are true. After the canon ending they most likely developed PTSD about the horrors they went through at the bakery.
== Biography ==
During the DLC prequel the hostage had suspicions of Bonnie and her establishment for a while, and has been stalking her and has called the police to search her bakery numerous times but with no new outcomes. Bonnie feeling annoyed and scared for her life and reputation she kidnapped the hostage and sent them to the basement of her bakery. While Bonnie was kidnapping the town’s folk, the hostage freed themselves from their restraints and attempted to find a way to escape Bonnie’s basement and expose her for her crimes. 
The fate of the player depends on the ending:
=== Ending 1 Fresh Ingredients ===
The Hostage fails to escape the basement and is stabbed to death by Bonnie. Their remains were later used to make Bonnieʼs latest dish and fed to a bear. She continues her crimes undisturbed.
=== Ending 2 Escaped ===
The Hostage escaped and informed the townsfolk about Bonnie and her crimes. At first no one believed them but the Hostage showed notes Bonnie wrote about her past, then they gathered around to form an angry mob at her bakery. However, she is nowhere to be found and presumably skipped town after finding out the Hostage had escaped.
=== Ending 3 Waiting ===
The Hostage escaped but with no proof to convict Bonnie. The hostage now resides in a hidden part of town, and stalks Bonnie in hopes to catch her in the act.
=== Ending 4 Fear ===
The Hostage escapes the bakery, however the notes that were collected were blown away by the wind and the townsfolk are unwilling to believe their accusations about Bonnie. With no one else to talk to, the Hostage moves to a different town but they cannot shake the feeling that Bonnie will be coming back for them one day.
=== Secret End 1 Free (Canon) ===
By using the secret code obtained through the other ending cutscenes, the hostage inputs the code through the door key pad and a hidden compartment opens to reveal a knife which they will use against Bonnie. They approach Bonnie and the two engage in a knife fight, in which they manage to force the knife out of Bonnie’s hand and stab her to death, finally finishing her reign of terror. They  later pick up the limbless panda out to show the townsfolk the atrocities of Bonnie’s bakery. They were frightened and sickened to discover what they’ve been eating this whole time. They escorted the hostage and the panda to the hospital to be treated. Meanwhile, the townsfolk decide to go see the rest of the horror that was hiding inside the bakery. 
=== Secret End 2 Pirate DLC (Non-Canon) ===
During Bonnie’s nights of kidnapping she entered a building with a pirate chest that has a giant gold doubloon. The Pirate demands Bonnie not to take the coin but she disobeys his orders and takes it back to her basement. The hostage can take the coin and input the code on the back of it to escape, which will play the following cutscenes: the hostage escapes the bakery, and meets up with the pirate. The pirate infuriating explains to the hostage the day that Bonnie stole his gold doubloon. He helps the hostage sneak back into the bakery to confront Bonnie. He approaches the petrified baker and kills her off screen. The duo later rescue the rest of Bonnie’s captives and give them new hook limbs, and set sails.
