Personality[]
Nine's personality appears to be based upon the exaggeration of the skater subculture in the late 1990's and early 2000's, using slang such as "tubular", having sunglasses, and owning a skateboard, which was very popular around that time period. As a result of this, Nine acts like they're very cool. Nine also appears to get sensitive at times, as they cry after Six says that they have no "style". They also might not be the brightest of the bunch, as when Six said this to Nine, they decided to glue their feet to their skateboard in response.
Their Teenage Millennial personality also extends to trolling on the internet, a common past time for some teenage millennials. as they were disappointed to hear they were not allowed to cyberbully on a Sunday afternoon from Four in "Thanks for 1,000,000 Subscribers!".
Coverage[]
Nine made their first appearance in "The Number Playground Chronicle!" as a mention in the phone book section. They also appear renting ad space in Section A saying "Blank space! Eep!".
Nine was a recommended character in "The Escape from Four", and had no significant role.
In "Thanks for 800,000 subscribers!", they appeared upon Four requiring help and mentioning them. After greeting the others. They have a short conversation with Eight and Seven, until the next scene where all the numbers stand on one another to make a tower. Seven argues with Nine and when Four complains the two stop blabbering. Nine has a few short lines of reaffirmation after this when the video nears its end.
In "Thanks for 900,000 subscribers!", Nine begins to talk to Six, who tells them they have no style. Nine, in response, decides to glue their feet to their skateboard. Then, they make a plan with Six to kick Eight out of their standing spot, as Nine needs to take it for themselves. With X giving them the invention Stone-To-Boot, they both make a very strong boot to use for kicking Eight out. But this plan turns out to be useless as Eight steps aside without any conflict. Nine takes his spot in a withdrawn manner.
In "Why is the BFDI Mouth everywhere?", Golf Ball summons Nine to use their coolness to impress Firey and Flower into letting her onto the Winners' Seesaw. Using the Ideamaphone, Golf Ball creates the BFDI Mouth, who dethrones Nine as the coolest person in the world, upsetting Nine. Two brings Nine and Four to stop the Mouth, but they are quickly eaten by it.
In "Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers!", Nine is no longer superglued to their skateboard, and they are also seen for the first time without their sunglasses on.
In "Outbreak At Stake", while Nine wasn't seen onscreen, their skateboard was seen, hinting at them being canon.
