Toon Demon

**Bendy the Devil, also known as "The Dancing Demon"** is a cartoon character created by Henry Stein as Joey Drew Studios's mascot in the very late 1920s. He is as well the titular character of the Bendy franchise, being its namesake. The studio's flagship character, Bendy starred in a series of cartoons and comic strips thirty years prior to the events of the first game, often alongside the studio's other characters such as Boris the Wolf and Alice Angel. Bendy was also hired by Briar Label as a spokestoon for their Bacon Soup.

## General Description

### Creation

Bendy was originally created in 1928 by Henry Stein by Joey's request prior to the next year (1929) opening of Joey Drew Studios, but the record book of Joey Drew Studios states that Joey Drew was the person who created him. It is unknown who among the 2 is the actual creator.

Henry first drew a cartoon character based off of Abby Lambert's drawing that Joey disproves. It looks like a smiling young boy wearing overalls with the addition of devil horns and a tail just like the original drawing, only in a cartoon form and minus the nose. Joey wants a full new approach for the character, so Henry redrew the character to have devil-based traits while using the demon goat creature drawing as a reference, drawn with a bean-shaped body and wears a pair of shorts, boots, and a shirt. After the second attempt by Joey's demand, Henry removed the clothes except for the boots while adding the gloves, but the head was still too goat-like and has a small beard. Therefore, the head was drawn to have more cartoon shapes and less life-looking, while making the character look younger, completed with a white face for the black circular horned head, classic pie-cut eyes, and a big toothy grin. For the finishing touch, the character was added with a bowtie.

### Physical Appearance

Bendy is a cartoon imp-like demon character with his appearance entirely colored in black apart from his face, which is white in color. He wears shiny black shoes, a white bowtie, and a pair of gloves that closely resemble those of other cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, each possessing two black buttons. The shape of his head resembles cartoonish horns that always remain facing the viewer no matter which way Bendy is facing. Because he lacks a neck, his head floats a few millimeters away from his body. Bendy has a most notable wide, toothy grin, showing eight teeth when he's grinning fully. His alleged "invisible eyebrows" from above his large pie cut eyes can even move when expressing his emotions. In terms of his height, Bendy appears to be short, being easily towered over by Boris. In Bendy and the Dark Revival, revealed through several merchandise prior to the game's release, there will be a "perfect" version of Bendy that wears a brown sleeveless jacket with pockets and two white buttons, and a pair of black pants with thin white lines along with a white patch on the left ankle. The right side of his face and bowtie seem to be slightly covered in ink. Even though Bendy is a Demon, surprisingly he doesn’t have a tail.

### Personality

> "A playful little fellow, Bendy can get up to some naughty antics when left to his own devices." — **Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook**

>

> "As seen in our animated cartoons, Bendy is mischievous and full of fun. He likes to get people's attention and he'll stop at nothing to make sure he has it." — **Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook**
>

Bendy is a borderline troublemaker, but rather impatient and easily startled or timid, yet justifiably cheerful, fun-loving, and mischievous as his devilish nature would imply. Bendy often refuses to pay for anything he buys, as he tries to take his burger without paying Charley in "Tasty Trio Troubles" and didn't pay Gaskette for his ride according to the latter's bio image. According to Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook, while Bendy can be playful, he is not evil and his jokes are never mean-spirited. Bendy is also attention-seeking and easily distracted, he is never hardworking or courageous. He is also adventurous. He would often get mad when someone mentions the Ink Demon. His favorite animal are cats. He also sensitive about height. He’s also a bit of narcissist. His favorite songs are Welcome Home, Recording Town, The Dancing Demon, and Bendy and The Ink Machine. When he gets mad, like really mad, his body is entirely covered in ink, and he starts hurting people. He does not hurt them on purpose. The only way to turn him back to normal is to calm him down. After he's calm down, he'll turn back to his loveable old self. So it is not advised to get him mad.

## The Ink Demon

**Ink Bendy** is the main antagonist of the Bendy Franchise, and a failed attempt at creating the studio's popular mascot Bendy in real life in an attempt to bring cartoon characters to reality by Joey Drew, who turned out defective along with several other physical cartoon characters due to lacking a soul. A demon-like entity of the Cycle, Ink Bendy is a large threat to anyone in this ink world, constantly pursuing them down and attempting to kill them whenever they are caught in his proximity.

As a failed recreation of Bendy, his tall, lanky physique, skinny with a small and big hand, along with his melted appearance, make him vastly different from his original cartoon counterpart. The Ink Demon and Toon Bendy are both separate entities, but unlike all the other Toons and Coruppted Ink Counterparts, they’re connected in a way. This is due to the fact the Ink Demon not possessing a soul, so he has a sorta connection to Toon Bendy due to him being the original. Ink Bendy haunts Bendy’s nightmares and is in his head. Bendy can do same to him, though he mostly uses it to annoy him. Ink Bendy’s wish is to absorb Bendy’s Toon Powers, and when that happens, Ink Bendy has full control over Bendy. Bendy will become Evil. The only way to undo this is either Destroy The Ink Demon or to separate the link between them. The only thing that can destroy The Ink Demon (and Bendy!) is The Last Reel. Keep in mind that destroying The Ink Demon will reset the cycle, making everything start over again and Ink Demon will technically still be alive but their connection will know longer exist.

Ink Bendy has a tall, malformed figure, with skin made of black ink resembling tar. His head highly resembles that of the original Bendy, but the top area of his head appears melted, obscuring his eyes. His horns are slightly more curved to bear a shape like a deformed crescent moon, being able to articulate similarly to animal ears. His toothy, Cheshire grin, with sketch-like shadings, is shown to vibrate. His spine appears slightly crooked or curved, similar to the spinal condition scoliosis. His bowtie is also slightly in place.

He has a slightly-hunched back, which induces endless wisps of blackish smoke, also sport spiky spines for demonic features. Ink streams down from him whenever Ink Bendy is running, idling, or walking, making it hard to see him. His left arm is slightly longer than his right, which looks thinner and less human. On his left hand, he wears an oversized sepia glove with four fingers, though it does not sport two buttons like the original Bendy, while his right hand is much smaller and more human-like, with five fingers. His feet are also mismatched: His right foot faintly resembles that of a human, while the left is just a diseased-like stump, which gives him a limp. ( due to Buddy cutting it off in Dreams Come To Life)He also wears a drooping bowtie close on the middle of his chest, appearing almost identical to Bendy's except being larger, and is slightly tilted to his left to give him a misshapen appearance.

## Trivia

* He does not have a girlfriend (and probably never will, lol)
	+ But Bendy has been kissed by two girls so far: Alice Angel and Yui Nyan
* He is a Toon who was created in the late 1920s, (1929 to be exact!) which means he is one of the first Toons in the history of animation.
	+ The only toons older than him are Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Felix the Cat, and Mickey Mouse.
		- Bendy hates the fact that Mickey is older than him by one year because this makes people believe he’s a copycat. So he has kinda of a grudge toward Mickey.
			* The funny thing is Mickey’s not aware of his grudge, making him think they’re just friends.
* He is an excellent dancer and singer
* He's embarrased by the nickname **"Little Devil Darling"**
