“I nailed it!“

— Naily, multiple occasions

## **About:**

**Naily** is a female object contestant and one of the former 30 recommended characters that could have joined BFDI and BFDIA, as well as a competitor in *Battle for BFDI*.

Along with Tree, Barf Bag, and Saw, Naily only received 3 votes and she was flung to the Locker of Losers in “Reveal Novum”.

Naily’s IDFB redesign features a larger head and a lighter shade of gray, and her pointed end is smaller. Naily had a chance to rejoin in IDFB 2, but she only received 44 votes.

Naily competed on *Battle for BFDI* for Team Ice Cube!.

Naily is a protagonist in *Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum*. She debuted in *I Am Rodney King*, where she first appeared to Yadina when she was busy trying to put together her house for Dr. Zoom. She was asleep when Yadina picked her up, confused as to why there was a nail with legs. The two screamed in terror at each other as Yadina ran off to find her brother and best friend to tell them about the living nail that she found. Naily followed her to try and explain why she is there and calm her down from her terror.

She is voiced by Katherine Sun, her and Eggy’s voice actor from *Battle for BFDI*.

She is the first Goiky object to appear on the show. The others will eventually make their own appearances in later episodes.

## **Quotes (Voiced by Katherine Sun):**

* “I nailed it!”
* ”Nailing is what I do"
* ”Prepare for this"

## **Story:**

### **Prior to the Show:**

Naily is one of 64 living objects in a land known as Goiky, which is on a different Earth. The 64 objects encountered Four and X that gave them the chance to win ”a BFDI” (Battle for Dream Island). Naily was put on the team named Team Ice Cube! and survived 15 episodes without being eliminated. However, after the events of BFB 15, she wandered into a strange portal that opened, taking her to the Secret Museum. Berby freaked out from seeing a living, talking nail. She was eventually calmed down after Naily informed her that she had nothing to worry about. Eventually, more objects found the portal and came into the Secret Museum.

### **On the Show:**

Naily made her first appearance in *I Am Rodney King*. In this episode, she first appeared to Yadina while she was

## **Appearance:**

Naily appears to be a steel hardware nail. She often makes a cat-like face (parodying the *:3* kaomoji) in her appearances.

* Naily’s shank is now shorter and smaller.

## **Personality:**

Naily can often be silly and humorous, remaining mostly quiet other than to crack a few jokes, primarily nail puns.

On the other hand, she can be very argumentative and even dangerous, such as when she stabs Spongy (who is later revealed to be Tree in disguise). She defends this by saying that, when one is a nail, they often get the urge to stab things.

In either regards, Naily is seemingly defined by her physical being, whether she succumbs to her instincts or makes light of them varies, apparently, on the gravity of the situation and her own willpower.

On occasion, Naily can be quite boastful and confident. In ”The Liar Ball You Don’t Want”, she assures her team of her abilities by saying “Don’t worry, Icy Boys! I got this.” In ”Don’t Dig Straight Down”, she reassures Bomby about reaching the tunnel that they entered the Buried Forest, Deciduously Insulated from by saying, “Bomby, that ain’t a problem.” She can also have a softer side as seen how in the same episode, she apologizes to Woody for stabbing him seven years ago and helps him by throwing him through a garbage chute.

## **Powers:**

* **Fire Resistance**: Like Dora, Saw, Coiny, Firey, Firey Jr., Nickel, and Needle, Naily cannot be killed by lava.

## **Trivia:**

* Every time Naily uses the pun “nailed it”, she loses one friend.
