**Bow** is a fictional character of TEG1994. She is one of the main characters from Inanimate Insanity who is friends with Fan and Microphone. She is also the daughter of Test Tube and Orlando Jefferies, and the sister of Marshmallow. In June 2023, Bow was fatally shot by Elinor during her shooting rampage, losing her life at the hangout room where Mark Kirschner performed surgery.

## Personality

Bow is the daughter of Test Tube and Fan and a sister of Marshmallow. She first appeared in PBS Logo Bloopers Episode 4: More Logo Chaos. At the time, she was one of the very few object show characters to appear on TEG1994, until Fan and Microphone were introduced.

She is usually calm, cute, and happy during the happenings in the studio, though the loss of Microphone and Fan could cause her major grief. When Microphone died in December 2022, Bow attempted suicide, but her mother Test Tube talked her down. Later in February 2023, Bow jumped off the bridge when Fan died, but survives her second suicide attempt.

She also murdered drug dealer Neil in his hospital bed by slashing his wrists, and suffered PTSD as a result. Despite killing Neil, Bow was not sent to prison. When OJ and Test Tube announce their wedding in June, Bow realizes that Fan was her father all along. OJ is also revealed to be Bow's stepfather.

## Character Development

### The introduction of the Jefferies Clan

In Late 2022, fans realized that Bow's mother was never seen on-screen. TEG1994 decided to create Test Tube as Bow's mother, who first appeared in a 2022 Christmas special of PBS Logo Bloopers. Her first appearance on TEG1994 was baffled among many viewers, saying that the whole thing was "a joke".

Later in early 2023, TEG1994 confirmed that Bow will have a family unit created around her. In February 2023, Orlando Jefferies was introduced as the new owner of the Blooper Center, later revealing to be Bow's father. Later in March, Marshmallow was also introduced as Bow's sister.

### Death

On June 16th, 2023, TEG1994 confirmed that Bow will be written off from the channel after 2 years. The channel felt that they were getting tired of Bow as they started to have storylines focusing less on her. It would later be revealed that Bow would be killed off, though it is unknown how will she die out. 2 weeks later, it was confirmed that a shooting rampage will break out at the Blooper Center that could "cost lots of lifes". Bow was shot in the stomach by Elinor when she and Maggie were trapped in the lift. When Mark tried to save her life during a surgery at the hangout room, she dies in the table. The last scenes were aired on PBS Logo Bloopers on June 26, 2023.

## Critical Reception

An episode that dealt with the aftermath of Fan's death saw Bow's suicide attempt. She jumped off a bridge and was swept away for days. Many fans were shocked and saddened by the scenes, and praised the episode for its depictions. Fortunately, Bow turned up to the studio alive and well, thus surviving her suicide attempt.

Later in March 2023, Bow killed drug dealer and the mastermind of the Blooper Center heist Neil by slashing his wrists while in the hospital bed. The episode was noted by Engarian medical expert Dr. Theodore Zboncak from That Kiwi Doctor, who says that "A heist like this can cause a lot of stress and grief, and even suicide. If you're looking for someone for help, then TEG1994 is the right channel for you." However, many fans were outraged by Bow's murder of Neil. Bow is later placed 6th on the "Top 10 TEG1994 Characters that Should Go to Prison" video by Clever Mark Entertainment.

In a double episode of PBS Logo Bloopers in June 2023, Bow and Maggie were both trapped in the lift when Elinor draws a gun and shoots Bow in the stomach. She later died during surgery at the hangout room. Her death was praised by fans, describing it as "The saddest death in TEG1994 history".

## Trivia

* Sometime around June 2023, it was planned that Bow would have an AI voice, and it would have made her the first TEG1994 character to use an AI Voice of its own character.
	+ However, the idea was scrapped when Bow was killed off.
