PDA, short for Personal Digital Assistant, is a recommended character, first appearing in "Today's Very Special Episode". They only appear in Battle for BFDI as a Patreon-recommended character. Following "Four Goes Too Far", they replace Swappy's place under the "Recommend a Character" reward on the Jacknjellify Patreon page. In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", PDA becomes eligible to debut in The Power of Two.
Personality
PDA is shown to get irritated quite easily with no fear to speak their own mind. They are a bit bold, along with being vigilant and curious by their attempt to unlock the door in the room they are in.
Appearance
PDA is based on a personal digital assistant, most likely the Apple Newton. They have a de-saturated green screen with a dark gray, rounded rectangular exterior, containing an elliptical button. They hold a light gray stylus with dark gray ends.

In "Today's Very Special Episode", they boo Pen's drawing.

In "This Episode Is About Basketball", they're hit in the face by a ball thrown by Coiny.
In "The Escape from Four", PDA was one of the 26 recommended characters selected by Two as one of the eligible candidates to become a contestant in The Power of Two. PDA's audition features them pulling out their stylus out of their side and leaning on it, making a proud expression.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", PDA is first shown with the contestants and the eligible debuters on the ground when Two flies up to the top of the Hotel. Due to being high up, the contestants cannot hear Two's calls to do Cake at Stake. After Nickel fails to hear their calls, Two uses their telekinesis to bring the contestants and the eligible debuters up.
PDA is later told that they didn't get enough votes to join, along with Income Tax Return Document, Salt Lamp, and VHSy. Income Tax Return Document tells Two they'll pay for this, to which PDA agrees saying that they won't help them figure out how much. PDA can later be seen trying to unlock one of the hotel doors with their stylus as Shopping Cart watches in anticipation.
Trivia
- Despite bearing the layout of a Newton, PDA resembles an early Palm (Pilot) PDA based on shape and appearance.
- PDA is one of the 11 TPOT debuters who didn't die. The others are 9-Ball, Avocado, Blender, Boom Mic, Clapboard, Conch Shell, Income Tax Return Document, Onigiri, Shopping Cart, and Tape.
