**Bolt** is LastyGhost's avatar in the self-care app *Finch*.

## Description

*"A tiny bird with a huge heart. It's hard, if not impossible, to miss out Bolt whenever someone feels weighed down by life. It's an unconfirmed rumor that Bolt is a disciple of Lasty, though it can explain why they might appear just unexpectedly to give away good vibrations. The intention is what matters, right?"*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Bolt is a lavender penguin-like avian creature with a dark magenta head patch. They have beady eyes, a tiny scarlet beak, and semi-transparent dark magenta cheeks. Their wings are dark magenta, their feet are dark purple, and they have a cornflower blue belly.

#### Default outfit

They wear a maroon sports cap with a white brim surrounded by red and black stripes, a brown shirt with a ghost emoji sleeping, red sports pants, and wields a non-binary pride flag.

### Personality

Bolt is highly curious and secure. They are always willing to try different stuff whereas giving Silvana and other Finches like them positive vibes, regardless of who or where they are. They have a highly adaptable palate, eating or drinking from the sweetest to the strongest flavors without hassle. Additionally, Bolt is always trusted to be talked to in case someone is feeling down.

Albeit a pure spirit, Bolt has their flaws; they can become confused towards some of the things they try to a point they can either dislike them or search for help with it. When it comes to videogames, they can take the context seriously.

### Powers and abilities

* **Small birb, big heart:** A wave of hearts released by Bolt to give their surrounding allies encouragement to keep going.

## Story

### *Finch*

One day of August, LastyGhost scrolled for apps for her phone when she found a self-care app featuring an adorable pet bird. Enamor came almost immediately after opening it for the first time; it was the day Bolt hatched as a gray baby Finch.

During their first months, Bolt lived on LastyGhost's phone. It would not be until the introduction of events in October 2022 when she became significantly more active with the app, causing Bolt to grow into a child in a matter of weeks. As LastyGhost was terrible at saving Rainbow Stones, the colors she picked for Bolt when given the chance were between the provided options.

The connection between them grew stronger as Bolt celebrated LastyGhost's birthday. Before the Halloween event ended, Bolt's data was moved to LastyGhost's iPad, with the thought she would use the app more often if Bolt were on a device she used more -as the months flew by, this was proven true. Even when the months grew dark as 2022 ended, Bolt continued to listen to LastyGhost.

Currently, Bolt continues to discover about themself and the places they visit with every day LastyGhost checks in and marks tasks assigned by herself as complete, as well as reflect about her life. Between one of the Finchies that Bolt would never turn down after LastyGhost reconciled with the owner is Fuzzy, who is still taking the steps to discover herself and be present for her owner, a friend of LastyGhost.

Bolt's first birthday might have been celebrated as one more day in their life, but it is to be remembered as the day they came to LastyGhost to accompany her regardless of how things get for her.

During the final days of 2023, despite still showing continued interest in the app, LastyGhost has been checking Bolt less often, only to register their discoveries and mark her tasks as completed, mostly in a single go, causing Bolt to go into adventures late into the night, much to their invisible concern.

## Relationships

* **Lasty** -  *"The one who cheers me up with every adventure, cheep!"*
* **Earthstar** - *"You will always have someone rooting for you, cheep cheep!"*
* **Floyd Eagleton** - *"I just can't understand how he lost all of his memories in a matter of hours."*

## Development

### Design

Bolt was conceptualized with the default Finch aspect when LastyGhost first used the app. As they grew up with exploration and check-ins from her part, clothing and colors were given to them.

### Name

Their name was the first thing LastyGhost produced.

## Trivia

* Bolt's favorite colors are blue, pink, red, and brown. The latter two are part of their default outfit.
* Their first artwork for LastyGhost Wiki featured them as a child, albeit the clothes were the same.
