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!".

Powers and abilities

Most likely, Nine has the same powers that are subject to any Algebralian.

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 Nine takes his spot in a withdrawn manner.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 "Thanks for 1,000,000 subscribers!", Nine complains about standing in the sub count for so long, and is relieved to be let go once the sub count is announced to be 1,000,000 subscribers. Alongside the others, they compete in "Battle for Permission to Meet 10", ultimately tying second with Seven.

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 and Six journey to Fifteen's cabin to get her to take her place in the sub count. However, she refuses to leave, leading to Nine knocking her out, Due to this, the two decide to use an inanimate plus symbol to add themselves together to make Fifteen. Initially this works perfectly, but eventually Nine and Six grow annoyed by each other and begin fighting, resulting in them splitting. The resulting argument on who should go add themselves into the sub count leads to the Zeros becoming fed up and instead replacing the sub count with a whiteboard, ending the dispute.

In "Thanks for 2,000,000 Subscribers!', they notably are seen wearing a bag on their head; when asked to take it off they refuse. After hearing about what happened to Ten, they began sobbing; this causes the bag to become wet and break. At the sight of their injured face, they are forced to reveal the reason: after the events of the previous subscriber special, they went to go get their glasses back from Fifteen, but Fifteen was enraged and beat them up. When they and their friends are at Fifteen's cabin, they attempt to take their glasses back from Fifteen, which prompts her to burn them alive.

In "Outbreak At Stake", while Nine wasn't seen onscreen, their skateboard was seen, hinting at them being canon.

In "Seasonal Shift", Nine is an alternate host, hosting the Cake at Stake for a short amount of time before being replaced by Cheese Orb, and appearing in the BFB 16 Timeline instead of Two, attempting to split the show, while Two ended up on a different planet. After Two returned to Earth, Nine was kicked out of Earth.

Nine makes a minor appearance in "Thanks for 2,763,000 Subscribers!", where they are stuck on a drop tower as chaos rages around them.

Abilities

• Their abilities are similar to those of the other algebraliens, but these are the ones that stand out a little.
• Gravity manipulation: Nine is shown in “Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers!” driving a motorcycle over the Evil Canyon without falling due to gravity.
• Explosion/shrapnel resistance: In "Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers!", Nine's motorcycle explodes when it hits a tree. They are seemingly unscathed afterwards despite being caught right in the middle of the explosion.

Trivia

• Nine, Five, Ten and Zero are the only numbers not to have their color based on Minesweeper numbers.
  • This is because the numbers Nine, Ten and Zero don't appear in Minesweeper at all.
  • Despite Nine's appearance having a light gray shade color when they were recommended by MiitopianOlive, they were meant to be white.
• Nine's texture/skin might be made of glue. This could be proven in Thanks for 900,000 subscribers!, as they told Six that they glued their feet on their skateboard while talking to them. Aswell as Thanks for 1,000,000 subscribers!, when Ten asked why there is glue in his spot in the subcount, Nine responded saying that's what happens when they stand in one place for a while. However, this could be true of every algebralien; we just haven't seen any of the others do this yet.
• The shine design in Nine's sunglasses seems to be a flipped version of the background in Gelatin's voting icon, and the Final Fourteen picture.
  • Nine's skateboard has a color scheme similar to the shine design on their sunglasses.
  • This is also the same shiny texture in Adobe products.
  • According to Fourteen's Book, Nine used to have glasses with a rainbow gradient before switching to their current pair.
• The hex code of Nine's color is #DDE2EC.
• Nine is one of the four characters to not appear in XFOHV, the others are Ten, Zero and Fifteen.
• Nine is the only known character in the series to use all pronouns.
• Nine, Six, Tack, and Pie are the only known characters in the BFDI universe to own a pet.
  • In both Nine's and Six's cases, they own cats. Nine's cat is primarily white, with large spots of black fur on its body and ears. It also has a pair of sunglasses.
• Nine only uses he/him pronouns in the shorts because Sam Thornbury, the writer for the short Nine debuted in, intended for Nine to use any pronouns but ended up just using he/him.
  • Since Sam didn't write additional shorts with Nine after that, this led to Nine only using he/him pronouns in the following shorts.
    • Sam eventually wrote a short which featured the use of Nine's she/her and they/them pronouns.
