**Bonnie** is the titular character of the game *Bonnie's Bakery*.

## Physical Appearance

Bonnie has short blonde hair, with light skin. Her eyes appear to be either brown or black in color, and have eyelashes on the outer bottom edge of her eyeline. She has small blush stickers below to the sides of either eye. She lacks a visible nose. She wears a reddish pink hair ribbon, and a long sleeve reddish pink shirt with yellow wrist cuffs. She has a green collar with a carrot at the end of it. She has a green skirt that goes down just below the knee. She wears yellow shoes.

While hunting for ingredients, she wears a white bunny mask with yellow eyes and pink blush stickers.

## History

Bonnie has always been interested in cooking from a young age, where she would make food for others and they would eat it, something she enjoyed, especially since it's implied Bonnie was somewhat distant from social interaction. She has a family, and possibly separate individuals who raised her, but its somewhat unclear. Bonnie stated she wasn't smart enough to get scholarships in school, and furthermore, the individuals who raised her didn't have enough money for Bonnie to go to college, implying they weren't that well off. Her family disappeared one day, along with any other humans (besides mabye the protagonist) and befriend anthropomorphic animals. She grew especially close to Bear, the closest thing to family since humans went. At some point, she found an very un-bakery like building, and renovated it to suit her purpose and started the establishment. Notably Bear was her first customer. Out of actual customer distaste, her own paranoia, or both, Bonnie felt the bakery wasn't doing so well, and was at least lacking in business. It got to the point where Bonnie would have to close down, to her disappointment and distaste. One day it would get worse, as a very injured female bunny came to her bakery. Bonnie tried to stay optimistic and to help the bunny the best she could, but to no avail. The bunny had died, and she decided to cook her remains into a dish, to be called the Meet Bun. To her surprise, customers had caught the "wonderful smell" of it, and enjoyed the Meet Bun very much. This was a turn, as now the animals throughly enjoy her food. Bonnie, realizing this, decides to continue the success by murdering townsfolk and using their meat for her new recipes. This was a turn for Bonnie, as she became violent, devoid of most if not all empathy, and more secretive. She then started getting organized with her crimes, and notes specific individuals, who she feels are catching on to her deception, and targets them for their meat.

## Personality

Bonnie initially seems like a kind and pleasant person, but in reality, she is revealed to be a violent serial killer, who is willing to do whatever necessary to keep her bakery popular.

She has no problem with kidnapping townsfolk and killing them to use as ingredients for her food. She also cuts off their limbs, but whether she does that out of sadism, or to immobilize them is unclear, but she keeps the place locked with a code, making immobilization seem unnecessary, but could just be an extra measure. She hums and smiles in her basement to the sights of gore, but interestingly not in a malicious way, indicating she may not be sadistic. However, her still cheerful demeanor when she is going to get fresh ingredients, could indicate at least some sadism.

She also doesn't like being watched, and is good at picking up suspicion, and pretty observant in general. This is shown as she is shown to make note of and go after those she knows are suspicious of her, belittling them by calling them "silly ingredients". She is also mildly paranoid, being quite alert to wanderers in her basement, and feeling as though the townsfolk are watching her because she thinks they are jealous of her bakery's success, when in reality it's because they think something is off. Her claim of others jealousy toward the bakery's success shows her to be somewhat full of herself, and indicates she believes she is doing things correctly, and is either unaware or ignoring the fact her activities are heinous.

Despite that, she still has some moral agency, as she realized in ending 2, that she was "done for" knowing why the townsfolk were coming. She also flees rather than owning up for her actions, showing her to be a coward. Despite that, when she thinks she can win, she is quite insistant and ruthless on catching those in her basement, and giving chase to them, as well as to go out and kidnap townsfolk, or possibly to even follow the Protagonist to their new home,

She also has some kind of conscience, in a warped way, as she wanted to "clear her mind" in ending 4 by clearing out her cellar, and that she feels better with a clean basement. This indicates she may possibly have slight guilt on her part when her actions are apparent to her. While usually calm, and friendlier to those who are compliant in her basement, when she has a bad day, she can get aggressive, and kills everyone in her basement.

Despite this, she does seem to be friends with Bear, evidenced by their dialog, the trailer, and the Twitter posts. She even tells him to stay safe, after Bear speaks of the kidnappings (which she is the culprit of). While she may have just said that to ease possible suspicion, its possible she genuinely doesn’t want to kidnap or involve him in her heinous crimes, further supported by her notes in Fresh Ingredients, calling Bear the closest thing she has to family, despite still referring to him as "it". While still covering up her actions, the Twitter posts show a more genuinely friendly and cheerful side, as long as you don't interfere with her actions. She also has standards, as she would not kill and kidnap children. She was also able to feel empathy for the town hall cat, and thinks the animals are cute, despite kidnapping and killing them.

From the notes, she certainly uses to be an all-around good person, but the failing of her bakery, and failure to save an injured rabbit pushed her over the edge, cooking its corpse and realizing people enjoy fresh meat. Evidenced by her actions afterwards, it seems the incident with the bunny traumatized her, and some of her actions may be partially due to trauma, but given the extent and heinousness of her actions, it's no excuse. Furthermore, her family disappearing may have affected her emotionally, possibly even before they disappeared, as she says her family is "dead" to her.
