Profile

Biography

Appearance

Bonnie is a kid, with dark skin and short wavy black hair: they wear a white shirt with two horizontal stripes and dots, black shorts, and black boots. They have a large round white hat with a single horizontal stripe, black circular earrings, and a black bracelet on their right hand.

They wield a frying pan when attacking.

Personality

Bonnie is described as "young and angry"[6]; as a kid, they have a rather childish personality. They love cooking, so they get easily excited when someone mentions food[7] or being hungry[8][9].

They feel upset whenever they feel as though they've disappointed someone, such as when Odile doesn't say anything about the snacks[10], or not noticing when Siffrin is upset[11].

In Stars and Time

Bonnie is originally from Bambouche, a coastal town in Vaugarde[12], where they lived with their older sister Nille. Some time ago, their village, family and sister were frozen in time[13][14], which lead them to join the party.

They were the last person to join[15].

Combat

In both START AGAIN: a prologue and In Stars and Time, unlike the rest of the party, Bonnie cannot be controlled in battle, and does not have any Craft type, attacks or skills. Only in In Stars and Time, they sometimes dish out Neutral-type attacks to enemies, heal the party, or buff stats at random points during battle by using their pan. They may also deal the finishing blow against enemies at low HP.

Bonnie appears twice in combat in In Stars and Time, once in their Friendquest, and once in Act 5. However, both of these sequences are entirely scripted, meaning that there is still no point at which Bonnie can be controlled in combat. Additionally, Bonnie deals neutral damage to enemies in the Friendquest sequence, although they are stated to use Rock type Craft multiple times in the game.

Combat Behavior

Bonnie's actions in In Stars and Time follow a specific logic. They act every two turns. Additionally, they may deal the finishing blow to an enemy below 5% HP, including bosses. During ACT 5, there is a 1 in 7 chance for the text "(You wait for help that doesn't come.)" to occur when Bonnie would act if they were present.

They have a 20% chance to heal, a 20% chance to buff, and a 60% chance to attack.

When equipping a memory that makes them more likely to perform a certain action, Bonnie has a 1 in 3 chance to perform the specified action before the usual chances for the action apply. This means if, for example, Bonnie has Memory of Snacks equipped, they first have a 1 in 3 chance to perform a heal, and if that chance misses, they still have the usual 1 in 5 chance to heal or 4 in 5 to perform another action.

Healing

Bonnie has a 20% chance to heal the party by using Life Replenishing Technique. They only heal the party if the party is at below 80% of their maximum HP. Memory of Snacks does not actually increase the odds of healing.

If the party is above 80% HP, Bonnie instead performs a buff.

Buffing

Bonnie has a 20% chance to buff the party by using Aggression Boost Technique, Fortress Building Technique, or Wolf Speed Technique. If they have a weapon equipped that dictates which buff they perform, i.e. the Griddle Pan or the Wok, they that weapon's set buff.

Bonnie prioritizes performing buffs on stats that Siffrin is currently debuffed in. In case that Siffrin is debuffed in multiple stats, Bonnie prioritizes Attack, then Defense, then Speed. If Siffrin has no current debuffs, Bonnie performs a buff at random.

If Bonnie is set to perform a buff on a stat Siffrin already has a buff in, they instead attack. For example, if Bonnie rolls an Attack buff, they attack if Siffrin already has an Attack buff. Isabeau's WE WILL WIN!!! skill also counts as a buff in all stats, meaning Bonnie always attacks instead of buffing if that skill currently applies to Siffrin. Additionally, Mirabelle's Adorable Moving Shield and Holy Care Shield both count as Defense buffs.

Attacking

Bonnie has a 60% to attack. At base, they have a 40% chance to land an attack, and a 60% chance to miss. When fighting against the King, their hit chance is boosted to 60%.

If Bonnie has learned Billion Blows Technique in the current loop, they will always perform it over the basic Thousand Blows Technique. With Memory of Training equipped, they never miss attacks.

Friendquest

Bonnie wishes to grow stronger and protect their friends with Siffrin's help.

Rewards for this Friendquest include the Memory of Training and the Billion Blows Technique Skill.
