Pencil appears to be a No. 2 graphite pencil, a pencil most commonly used for writing. Her tip is beige, her graphite is a dark grey, and her main body is 3 shades of orange. Her metal is silver, and her eraser is pink. Between BFDI and BFDIA, her eyes and mouth were moved closer together.

TFI

  • Pencil has her eraser on the top and her tip on the bottom, which remains as a permanent change.

Personality[]

BFDI[]

Pencil was usually nice to most of the other contestants, with a few exceptions such as Ice Cube (before she substituted Match in the alliance), Blocky, and mainly, Spongy. She usually stuck around her alliance and would stick up for the other members if anyone harassed them, as seen in episodes like "Don't Lose Your Marbles" where she called out Snowball for popping Bubble.

BFDIA[]

Pencil started building more rivalries with other characters and took over as the alliance leader, officially forming FreeSmart. She also notably exhibits more sociopathic tendencies, from leaving Team No-Name behind inside Evil Leafy to win, to being much more manipulative. She does actions ranging from not caring about Gelatin saving Match's life in "Zeeky Boogy Doog", berating Bubble for popping, and in "No More Snow!", yelling at Ruby to the point of tears. Even then, she still cared for her alliance members.

IDFB[]

Pencil more or less acts the same, but is much nicer towards her alliance. However, in "Welcome Back", Pencil reveals that she doesn't really care about Match being trapped in the LOL, and calls her a little too "needy".

BFB[]

Pencil seems to be much more bossier and manipulative than usual, specifically in "Getting Teardrop to Talk," In the episode, she orders Lightning to electrocute contestants she dislikes, including Spongy, Flower, and Fanny. She also demotes Bubble to “bember” for attempting to stop Lightning from zapping Flower and later mocks Bubble with the same nickname when she tries to dissuade Lightning from zapping Fanny.

After her elimination, Pencil acts noticeably more calm since she joined the EXIT. In "Enter the Exit," she expresses frustration about the presence of boys in what she calls "an all-girl classroom," so Leafy explains to Four that Pencil likes to exclude anyone who isn't a part of her clique, that usually being her alliance, or in this case, gender. This holds true based on her behaviour in past seasons.

Pencil shows that she's still very loyal to her alliance, this being her reasoning why she should rejoin in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps". She also seems to become significantly less manipulative and cruel to those who she were enemies with, specifically David, as she was noticeably much more kinder to him. Although it isn't confirmed, she seems to have more respect for Ice Cube and those who support her now, as she was calm and nice to Bracelety.

TPOT[]

Pencil appears to be more of a natural leader than a manipulative and bossy person, which possibly put her on better terms with the members of the EXIT. In "Outbreak At Stake," she chose to interact with her former enemies (even teaming up with them despite normally being annoying to people like her, like Bracelety and David) and spend less time with Match, indicating that she wants to improve her attitude towards others first, and expand her list of friends.

Her newfound personality continues in "Out of the Blue," embracing her leadership with the emphasis of a "team." She complements David and Bracelety for setting strategies to combat Four. She also demonstrates courage to distract Four as another strategy to help the other teams. She can, however, still be a bit critical at times, such as scolding Bracelety for "going off-script" and calling Roboty "useless".

After escaping the EXIT, a more emotionally exhausted Pencil gets a chance to join the game along with the other EXITors in "What's Up Bell's String?". In the following episode, she and Liy join the game with 20,336 and 25,250 votes respectively. Despite her desire to be reunited with her old friends, she currently competes on CloudYAY. This is the only season in which she competes without her alliance (not counting Book and Ice Cube).

Official Character Guide biography[]

Pencil is a typical No. 2 pencil with a graphite tip. You probably have one in your backpack! Pencil is a born leader, but she can be very demanding.

Pencil uses Lightning to shock anyone who annoys her, especially Flower, Fanny and Spongy. Pencil is an expert at staring contests, even managing to out-stare the legendary David himself.

Did You Know?: Pencil won Total Firey Island, a BFDI-esque comic strip that came before BFDI, making her the first winner of all-time.

Abilities[]

  • Blinking resistance: Pencil can keep her eyes open without blinking for a very long time (longer than a day) and does not seem to experience any pain from this, as seen in "Reveal Novum" as she rivals even David.
  • Fire resistance: Pencil does not experience pain nor suffer any burn injuries after Donut set Pencil ablaze with Firey, as shown in "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know". She can also suck up the flames and spit it from her mouth as a fire projectile. When that happens, she remains completely unharmed. This is also seen when she feeds Firey a yoyleberry in Meaty during his elimination.
  • Drawing: In the Ad Dimension, She can draw a new product that can actually use in real life.

Coverage[]

Appearances[]

Battle for Dream Island[]

In "Take the Plunge: Part 1", Pencil is first seen with Match, talking about Flower's fear of bugs. Both of them yell when Ice Cube accidentally pops Bubble while hugging her. During the challenge, Bubble, Pencil, and Match all make an alliance. Ice Cube, eager to join, asks them if she could join, just before Pencil is knocked off the beam with new alliance members, Bubble and Match. Pencil angrily refuses to let Ice Cube in the alliance.

In "Take the Plunge: Part 2", Ice Cube complains about Pencil not letting her join Pencil's alliance when Leafy chooses her for Leafy's team, because of this, Pin chooses Pencil to be on her team. And when Pin has trouble deciding who to choose next, Pencil whispers for her to choose Bubble, which Pin does. Then, Pencil chooses Match next since she's in their alliance. Pencil babbles along with everyone else about the team name, making the Speaker choose the teams, dubbing Pencil's team the Squishy Cherries.

During the process of the boat being made, Pin makes Pen, Match, and Pencil be oars, and Pen is shown to be happy about this, while Pencil only shows a look of annoyance. Pencil goes through the hole in the boat, making Firey command her to stay there as a plug. She looks worried when Ice Cube, Leafy, and Coiny are about to crash into their boat, screaming along with the rest of her team. When the boat breaks, Pencil tries to encourage Match to swim with her, but she claims she has no energy left, making Pencil swim to the finish line without her. Pencil's team wins, making her immune from elimination.

Pencil bubble and match

Pencil, Match and Bubble begin the obstacle course after Pencil helps finding Blocky

In "Barriers and Pitfalls", Pencil was sent by Pin to find Blocky, although she wanted to stay with her alliance. Once Pencil found the fish that supposedly ate Blocky, she tried doing a dance to make it open its mouth, although the fish then tries eating her. After being freed from the fish, Pencil and her alliance went as fast as possible and did not help the opposing team. When Pencil tries jumping through the falling obstacle, she gets dulled. She falls along with the alliance when Rocky breaks the ski lift.

In "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?", she does not take the test (drawing an infinite doodle instead). When Match plays around with her mini-Match while playing Spongy Cake, brushing it against Pencil's pencil, their tests were caught on fire, so they did not turn them in (resulting in no score). While Match slaps Bubble, Pencil gets shocked then asks Match that she killed her own friend and comes to the conclusion that Bubble is dumb when she can't count to 3, even though Bubble just died before getting to 3. She also suggests ripping Bubble's test since they figure she'd be too dumb to pass.

In "Sweet Tooth", she randomly turns into Bubble in front of Match during Cake at Stake. She talks to Match about Bubble being "dumb", however, Pencil realizes Bubble is not "dumb" later in the episode after seeing Bubble count to 8. Pencil, along with Match and Bubble purchase slices of Leafy's strawberry cake for the challenge. Pencil ends up getting a low score of 13 tying with Bubble and Snowball for the second lowest score behind Golf Ball's 0.

In "Bridge Crossing", she first faints when the Announcer says he had to use an ice cake for the second time due to not having a regular cake, and Pin says she's overreacting, but it turns out the Announcer was kidding and he actually got an ice cream cake. When Needle lands back to earth, Match is grossed out at the sight of her, making Pencil state she liked "Needies", but is slapped by Needle for saying so. When the Announcer gives her cake, the cake splattered all over her back, much to her dismay. She's later seen jumping along with Match off the cliff to catch Bubble after she falls off the broken bridge.

In "Power of Three", she says she doesn't like Cake at Stake, only to claim she likes it when threatened with immediate elimination. She's placed on the same team as her alliance in the challenge. During the contest, Match accidentally locks Pencil in a safe and she and Bubble forget about her for a while until they nearly get to the next island. They place third and are safe from elimination.

In "Puzzling Mysteries", when the TLC fails to close completely, Pencil tells the Announcer that the carrying capacity is 6 and that there are 6 people inside, along with Spongy. Match and Pencil have a hard time finishing the jigsaw puzzle since the pieces are upside down and instead talk about the time when Eraser stepped on a nail in BFDI 1B. Her team loses the contest and is still trapped in the room by night.

Pencil and Pen in Cycle of Life

Pencil being carried by Pen in the relay race

In "Cycle of Life", Match and Pencil talk about their votes so far. In the relay race, Pencil has to carry Match, who she claims is gaining weight. When it's her turn, Match asks Pencil if she's fat, and Pencil says she was "JK kidding". They lose the challenge due to Bubble popping.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare", Match and Pencil notice Ice Cube falling from a cliff as a result of a prank from the previous episode. Pencil thinks Ice Cube is shrinking, to which Match corrects her and tells her that Ice Cube is falling. When Ice Cube shatters at the bottom of the cliff, She ends up pushing Pencil and Match off the cliff during her freefall. Pencil and her team finally win a challenge by being first in the six-legged race.

In "Crybaby!", she was the only member of her alliance to choose Snowball on the team along with Pen and Eraser, due to him winning more contests (albeit only because he was the only one who ripped the ties on the literal tie breakers). Match and Bubble were not very happy. Pencil has a hard time crying in the crying challenge. After tying in the skiing contest, her team finally wins in the handstand tiebreaker, but Rocky ends up vomiting on the Squishy Cherries' platform, resulting in Pencil and her teammates slipping on it. Eraser is the only one who didn't slip on Rocky's vomit and he wins a Win Token as a result.

In "Lofty", a few clones of Pencil can be seen laughing at Another Name as they walk to the Cake at Stake area. Pencil just votes for Rocky to stay since the entire team already picked him unanimously. She loses the balloon contest when Snowball, her own teammate, pops her balloon for its pink color.

In "A Leg Up in the Race", many clones of Pencil can be seen laughing at Another Name as they walk to Cake at Stake. Pencil places 7th in the ladder challenge. She is the only one who doesn't lose any points since she never got a vote and is safe from elimination after the points are established.

In "Don't Lose Your Marbles", In the prologue, Pencil is seen getting angry with Snowball for popping Bubble. After Blocky is pushed off a platform by Leafy's bouncy ball, he drops Remote who in turn releases two batteries. The batteries release acid that kills both Pencil and Snowball. Later, Pencil and her alliance talk about how great it is for them all to be in the final 11. In the challenge, she is the first to turn in a ball, giving her 30 points. This makes her the second highest in points, behind Pen.

In "Half a Loaf Is Better Than None", Pencil tries to get Match out of a cliff and calls Bubble to help her, before she and everyone else ends up falling. She is upset when Match is eliminated and accepts Ice Cube as an alliance member out of desperation. Pencil cheers for Match to rejoin in the bread loaf contest and is disgusted when Spongy ends up winning. She is seen trying to retrieve marbles from the acid vat and dies. In the challenge, Pencil tries to use "alliance power" to jump over a variable height hurdle but ultimately fails when the hurdle hits her tip.

In "Vomitaco", Pencil plays catch with Bubble and Ice Cube. She later calls Ice Cube "garbage" compared to Match, as she didn't find it fun playing without her. Pencil chooses the barf bag contest along with her alliance. She gets angry with Rocky when he pukes in the giant bag that actually had colored water and throws a bowling ball at him. She then covers a leak in the bag with a pillow and throws barf on Blocky. She decides to make ice cream with Bubble using Ice Cube as the ice. Bubble finds it disgusting and Pencil throws Ice Cube in the barf. Pencil is the last contestant on the barf bag. The hole she plugged takes her out and she falls after standing for a whole minute, giving her 60 points. She is later glad about not choosing the taco contest, to which Bubble asks why, but Pencil pops her due to not wanting to answer "stupid" questions. She then is seen telling Firey to hurry up with his taco as he has some trouble making it.

Pencil puppte

Pencil on the puppet segment

In "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", Pencil is one of the various puppets used for the beginning of the episode. Leafy questions what she's doing and she says she's looking at clouds. Leafy says she looks bored and suggests they do something fun like jumping off a cliff, which Pencil takes literally. They decide to watch clouds with Pen instead. They later get real life objects of their counterparts and stab themselves in the middle. They all celebrate when Blocky removes their counterparts and they return to normal. She mentions how it is great to be puppets, before they become animated again, resulting as an April Fools' prank. At Cake at Stake, she is the first person to receive an explosive pie. Pencil later mentions how it's wonderful to be in the final nine. During the bowling ball contest, Pencil makes the final throw, launching the ball to smash Ice Cube and hit 5 pins in the center. While subtracting points, she decides to take away 25 points off everyone except her alliance and herself. Blocky and Firey take away 56 and 30 points respectively from her for subtracting their scores, while Leafy took away 10 points off her and everyone else for equality. Pencil is up for elimination along with everyone else, except Firey for knocking down a strike, for the first time since "Bridge Crossing".

In "The Reveal", Pencil demands springy shoes from Leafy after she gave some to Bubble. Leafy takes Bubble's springy shoes from her so Pencil can have them, but Bubble later gets them back. At Cake at Stake, Pencil's no vote streak was broken (even her first voter, englishcreamcakes, got mentioned) but she is still safe with 38 votes. Pencil and Bubble do very well in the frisbee-throwing contest and both get 200 points for getting first place.

In "Reveal Novum", Pencil votes for Tennis Ball to be eliminated, despite saying he was very fuzzy. In the challenge, Pencil comes first in the staring contest beating Spongy, Rocky, and David (who took an entire day to blink). At one point while staring against David, she calls out Bubble, asking what's been with her lately, when she simply asked if her eyes hurt. Despite winning the contest, due to the scoreboard only holding 2 digit numbers, she still gets into the danger zone.

In "Rescission", Firey shows Pencil his emergency button and tests it on Bubble, causing her to disappear, making Pencil mad as she thought it was the cruelest way she ever died. She then takes the emergency button and uses it on Firey, Leafy, and all the recommended characters in the episode. Spongy then tumbles onto her, and Rocky is about to barf into her, causing her to worry until Rocky speaks. She asks him if it feels weird to talk after 15 months of silence but Rocky went back to barfing on her afterwards. At Cake at Stake, the Announcer reminds Pencil how she never got a single vote until "Bowling, Now with Explosions!", and then says that for this episode, she got 259, the most ever at that point, causing her to be eliminated. Pencil, mad at this, slams the Announcer thinking that he's been broken before she's sent by the Laser Powered Teleportation Device. The Announcer then mentions how Pencil was always a menace anyway. Bubble worries about what they can do without her and Match, and Ice Cube suggest that Needle joins in, but gets slapped because she called her "Needy".

Pencil's Promo Pic

Pencil's audition to rejoin BFDI

In "Gardening Hero", Pencil gets a chance to rejoin the game. In her audition, she uses her chanting to get the viewers to vote for her.

In "The Glistening", When Blocky votes for Firey to "put up with the fire", Pencil makes a weird exaggerated laugh. She decides to vote for Ice Cube, along with 9 other eliminated contestants. She only got 60 votes to rejoin and is teleported back into the TLC.

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 2", Pencil is first seen in the TLC where she says that she can't wait to be freed since BFDI was confirmed to be "cancelled". She and the other members are then "eaten" by the bugs, but it later turns out that everyone just faked their deaths. When the TLC disappears due to Flower deflecting the Laser Powered Teleportation Device, everyone, including Pencil celebrates, until the TLC teleports back into it's spot.

In "The Return of the Hang Glider", after being released from the TLC, she tries to vote for Bubble to win but instead votes for Leafy in fear of being slapped by the other contestants. She, Match, and Bubble are all let into Dream Island first by Firey. Pencil is shocked to hear that Dream Island was stolen but doesn't seem to mind as she tells Pen to get over it. Pencil then calls out Firey for not letting Leafy into Dream Island. Later, she is glad when a spike lands in Rocky's mouth so that he can't barf and announces the news to everyone else. After learning that Leafy stole Dream Island, Pencil finds Flower's Announcer Crusher to use to give Leafy the death penalty. After the credits, she asks Match if it would be weird if the first and last spoken words of BFDI were the same.

Battle for Dream Island Again[]

Pencil and Pen

Pencil showing Pen her Leafy-detector

In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Pencil gets 320 votes and gets into the 2nd season. In the beginning, following the events of the previous episode, she is one of the various contestants chasing down Leafy who stole Dream Island. When Golf Ball questions Pen on how they should get her in the forest, Pencil tells them about the Leafy detector she owns and uses it to slow down Leafy until they catch up to her. Later while deciding on teams she has an argument with Donut over the size of the teams and has a vertical rectangle as a favourite screen.

In "Get Digging", Pencil decides to kick Ice Cube out of her alliance because she made an "ugly face". She is assigned to add the ingredients to the team's Yoyle Stew along with Ruby and Match. They add a lot of poisonous, harmful, and often inedible ingredients to the stew. As they work, Pencil recruits Ruby into the alliance and discusses her plans on reviving Bubble, but Ruby declines stating that it would be dangerous and not worth it for "someone who can't count to three".

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", Pencil's alliance does not participate in the contest since they decided to excuse themselves. Pencil has a conference with Ruby, Pencil decides to finally revive Bubble, considering herself self-taught and explains to her why Ruby should be in the alliance, stating that it wouldn't hurt having four members. She assigns Book and Ice Cube as alternates to her alliance when they question her, to which Book only replies angrily, "Fine!".

Pencil's Blood

Pencil being sent to Golf Ball's incinerator by Tennis Ball

In "Zeeky Boogy Doog", Pencil saves Gelatin's life. She later scolds Ruby for reviving Flower and jokingly threatens to expel her from the alliance. At the challenge, she practices freedom of speech from Golf Ball which gets her dragged into the incinerator by Tennis Ball.

In "Get in the Van", Pencil saves Match from elimination by using the elimination prevention plan, which involves tying her legs to the stage used for Cake at Stake. She forms a new team with her entire alliance, calling it FreeSmart, due to not wanting to use the word of freedom, because it sounded like saying they were dumb, and drives the FreeSmart Van bringing the HPRC and later accidentally driving into Evil Leafy and Tennis Ball, Golf Ball and Rocky.

In "BFDIA 5b", Pencil is not a playable character but is coded into the game. She plays similarly to Match since their sizes are mostly the same.

In "No More Snow!", Pencil asks Ruby to press a button on top of Evil Leafy, which they have a hard time doing so due to Ruby accidentally pushing other buttons and crying when Pencil shouts at her, which then zaps her, killing her. She wasn't recovered yet due to the HPRC being crushed by W.O.A.H. Bunch.

In "It's a Monster", Pencil gets revived by Match and drives the new Freesmart Supervan. Pencil mentions how they don't need the HPRC due to already having a Leg-Powered Recovery Center, and Book questions what would happen if she used her hands, to which Pencil mentions "she'd be very sorry". Book uses it with her hands nonetheless, and the LPRC disappears, leading to Pencil shout why did she did it. She then decides to steal the HPRC with the magnet in the van. While they go across the Goiky Canal, she along with the rest of FreeSmart drown and revive each other numerous times.

Pencilsawed

Pencil being sawed in half by FreeSmart in order to win the contest

In "The Long-lost Yoyle City", Pencil finally drives out of the Goiky Canal. When she and her team reach Yoyle City, She gets caught in the tongue of a fish monster for the second time. When FreeSmart fail to set her free, Pencil insists that they kill her and recover her using the Hand-Powered Recovery Center. FreeSmart cut her in half using a saw and she is successfully recovered. Later on, She delays Team No-Name from reaching the summit by freezing them and kicking Rocky into the jaws of the fish monster, as payback for him barfing on her two years ago. FreeSmart ends up winning the challenge, reaching 1st place, although in the process Match is sent to the LOL and TLC when the Firey Speaker Box sees her. Firey Speaker Box then interrogates Bubble, who pretends to be a tree. Pencil tries to help her sound more convincing as a tree, but Bubble is ultimately flung somewhere unknown. Later, W.O.A.H. Bunch makes it to the summit as well. Pin celebrates over their victory, but Pencil reminds her that they only placed second. Pencil is last seen falling from the summit with everyone else.

In "Well Rested", Pencil and the others are still falling from the summit until they hit the ground. Pencil feels that they should stay in Yoyleland because the only recovery center is glued to the ground. For the challenge, the team's must find a building to sleep in. Pencil has the team enter the FreeSmart SuperVan so that they can drive to the Pillow Marketplace. But before they go, Pencil locks Ice Cube in the trunk so she doesn't have to hear the noise from her headphones. After driving around for hours, Pencil clearly doesn't know where their destination is. Ruby gets the information they need from Book and finds out the Pillow Marketplace is on one of the higher floors of the Yoyle Needy. Pencil drives the FreeSmart SuperVan through a balloon store, allowing the vehicle to float so that they can park on the top floor of the Yoyle Needy. Suddenly a pipe appears in the sky. Pencil isn't able to avoid it and crashes the van into the pipe. The water getting pulled in from the pipe starts to flood the inside of the van, so everyone has to hold their breathes.

Once the sun sets, the team is completely submerged underwater. They pull out some snorkels and jam them through the roof of the van, allowing them to breathe. Suddenly, the van's weight causes the pipe they're stuck to to tilt. The pipe rotates several times, allowing the team to steal W.O.A.H. Bunches pillows and sleeping bags. The pipe then balances itself out, and the two team's face off against each other on the pipe with Pencil kicking Rocky to his death. Pencil and Needle duel each other and Pencil eventually wins. Spongy charges in to help Needle, causing the pipe to tilt again. The end of the pipe with the FreeSmart SuperVan hits Pin's point, causing the water from inside the van to burst out and flood the aerospace building.

Pencil fighting Needle

Amidst the chaos, Book eventually realizes that they should be sleeping, not fighting. So FreeSmart tries to go to sleep quickly. W.O.A.H. Bunch continues to try and sabotage them by telling scary stories. Coiny starts repeating the name "Evil Leafy", which makes the FreeSmart members wince in their sleep. Eventually, Evil Leafy appears and puts both teams at a stalemate on the dehumidifier (which is now dunking each team as Evil Leafy teleports to them). Ice Cube eventually pulls out the balloons from the van and has everyone tie one around themselves in order to escape the predicament below. Once everyone is in the sky, Ice Cube plays relaxing music that puts the team to sleep, so FreeSmart wins the challenge, coming in second. In the stinger, the team decides to start recording video diaries together.

In "Intruder Alert", Pencil addresses Match in FreeSmart's daily video diary, recalling the time when she would wish upon a star that they would win Dream Island. She later gets into a debate with Ruby before hearing the contest wheel being spun, ordering her team to pop their balloons. After landing, Pencil asks Firey Speaker Box to tell her the challenge; he denies her request and she faints upon realizing they need to try every contest on the wheel. After waking up, she refuses Firey and Gelatin's request to join FreeSmart until they state they know what the challenge is. Pencil participates in every incorrect challenge Firey and Gelatin claim, being sharpened to death by Ruby in one instance. The team runs out of time, and are put up for elimination because they built no loser chamber.

In "Meaty", Ruby gives Pencil some gears for her to use as earrings. At Cake at Stake, Pencil is the last one safe, receiving 13,530 dislikes. She then feeds Firey a yoyleberry in order to turn him metal to avoid burning down the Weak Trembling Fortress. After Firey Speaker Box breaks down due to his owner's elimination, Pencil uses a magnet to remove the knife from Puffball Speaker Box, which non-fatally stabs her in the head.

During the challenge, Pencil fires lasers at Fries' car to prevent Team No-Name from taking the lead. After FreeSmart loses their paint can, Pencil infuses the laser gun with some of the remaining paint, allowing FreeSmart to cover most of the Eiffel Tower with pink paint. After Fries knocks the laser gun out of Ruby's hand, Pencil jumps after it, being killed upon impact with the ground.

In "Catch These Hands", Pencil recovers herself due to the properties of the Yoylite near her corpse allowing her spirit to remain conscious. During the challenge, Pencil shows apprehension towards volunteering to go into the crusher first, and ends up in it once Book points to her phrase in her pages. Her phrase is "blowing out a candle", which her team fails to guess. In a last-ditch effort, she blows extra hard, managing to recover Bubble in the process. The two of them are then crushed, and Pencil is next seen in Hell, believing Spongy to be Bubble; Spongy hands her a mirror and she screams at her now-uncanny appearance. She greets each new arrival, combusts due to a nearby fire, and flattens Fries when he doesn't want to talk in a verbose manner. In the stinger, Pencil expresses disappointment in the fact that no one is helping put out the fire that she's in.

Pencil advertising the ice cream

Pencil advertising the ice cream to the recommended characters

In "Taste the Sweetness", Pencil is the first contestant in Hell to be recovered, and she assists Ruby in recovering the rest of the dead contestants. She admonishes Ice Cube for making an ugly face, but reneges once she makes her beautiful face, seeing as it's bringing new alternates to FreeSmart (soon to become The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute). For the contest, Golf Ball orders Pencil (along with Needle and Nickel) to market the ice cream, and Pencil notes Golf Ball did not give herself a job. Pencil alerts the recommended characters of the free ice cream they're selling, causing them to rush into Gelatin's Steakhouse. Pencil then makes flyers to advertise the ice cream, drawing on the papers with her body. Afterwards, she successfully encourages the recommended characters to repeat the jingle she created. Despite this, her team loses the challenge.

In "Lots of Mud", Pencil worries about facing elimination. Ice Cube's upside-down ugly face ease the tension momentarily, but Pencil's anxiety resurfaces repeatedly. Golf Ball eventually halts the cycle, prompting the group to head over to the Cake at Stake place. The team walk three miles to the arena as they are surrounded by various clones of Fries, who are mocking them for losing. At the ceremony, Pencil's disgusted reaction to the plain cake flavour is evident, and hesitantly calls it "brilliant" after Puffball Speaker Box adds Jack's hair to the cake. As the votes were being slowly disclosed, she appears nauseated, but narrowly escapes the bottom three receiving only 9,808 dislikes. She embraces Ice Cube in relief, hoping that she also ends up surviving the elimination, and expresses relief and celebrating with her team as Ice Cube was unveiled to be the last one safe. After Cake at Stake, The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute is renamed to "The Bad Face Destruction Institute" but quickly disbands. Pencil chooses to stay with Ice Cube as she didn't want to lose 3 years of friendship with Match's substitute. They reform as Less Restrained, Less Dumb (LRLD).

Later, during the contest, LRLD confronts Flower, now the new host, to give her a makeover. Despite initial resistance from Ice Cube, they experimented with various styles, and eventually settled for Jack's hair. Flower rewards the girls with a petal, but it's not enough for them to avoid elimination. Book asks Pencil if she had any more fashion looks in mind, as an attempt to potentially obtain more petals, but Pencil admits that she doesn't, so they all resort to pulling. Fries insults Flower's new look, prompting her to chase after LRLD. Later, the girls are once again struggling to destroy the locks and rip off another one of Flower's petals, as Coiny walks up to [Flower] with one of the keys. Book notices this and they all fight him for the key. Coiny uses Pencil to shatter Ruby, and Pencil reprimands him for doing so whilst repeatedly kicking him in the face. Coiny then dulls her by writing in Book, and Pencil seemingly loses consciousness. They end up losing the challenge.

Pencil and Ice Cube playing Spongycake

Pencil playing Spongycake with Ice Cube

In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 4", Pencil is first seen playing Spongycake with Ice Cube. Ruby says if they were to play well enough, their fairy godmother would appear. They play enthusiastically, but instead of the Fairy Godmother, Flower appears, announcing their elimination.

At the Cake at Stake arena, Pencil criticizes Flower's hair, causing a tense exchange. Pencil ends up being the last one safe with 12,939 dislikes, and Ice Cube is eliminated. Pencil suggests replacing Icy, and Ruby agrees, and so they use the revived Swap Token to force a switch. Despite Nickel's plea, Pencil chooses Needle, who reluctantly agrees after slapping Pencil for calling her needy. During the challenge, Pencil throws bugs at Fries, who is disadvantaged by being a solo team. Golf Ball aims a rack of bugs at everyone (except Tennis Ball) which they all dodge. TB throws bugs at Freesmart, and Pencil uses Book's corpse as a shield. Ruby dons a bug-squished shirt and asks how she looks, to which Pencil responds positively. As the recovery center is about to explode, Ruby tells Freesmart to take cover behind Spongy. However, Pencil excludes Needle, saying that despite her being on their team, she is still not a member, and in order for her to get promoted she must perform an act of sacrifice.

Once they escape the fashion store, Needle urges Pencil and Ruby to run after Golf Ball and Tennis Ball to the bug hive. They follow the duo through the evil forest, the desert, the BFDIA 9 challenge arena and the snowy forest before eventually reaching the hive. Pencil realises where they are and asks why they would come here, to which Needle tells her that it had something to do with Anti-Poison. Pencil gives her a thumbs up and says that's good to know. Inside the cave, they see Golf Ball and Tennis Ball searching for the Queen. Pencil decides they should also search for the Queen by counting dots on the bugs.

In another scene Pencil asks Needle if she found any Queens underwater, but Needle hasn’t. They see Tennis Ball extracting anti-poison from the Queen, and Golf Ball mentions that high temperatures denature it. Pencil tells Needle to write this down and wonders where Ruby is. Just then Ruby appears, who is actually her sister Poo in disguise. Pencil points out that "Ruby" is looking browner than usual, to which "Ruby" quickly denies and blames it on the lighting. Pencil questions Needle about "Ruby's" appearance, but Needle slaps her because she called her needy, which in turn wakes the bugs. Everyone runs out except for Pencil, who freezes in place. Bugs land all over her body and poison her, leading to her demise.

Later on in the episode she appears in a flashback of when she told Needle that she could be promoted to a member through the act of sacrifice. This is what prompted Needle to kill Coiny in favour of Freesmart, resulting in them being the only team not up for elimination. Because of this, everyone on the team, including Pencil, is safe.

In "Well, Look Who It Is!", Pencil is revived by Ruby, and Yellow Face is also recovered. The BFDIA contestants take turns carrying Yellow Face to the WTF, and laugh at the eliminated contestants for losing. However, when Pencil joins in the laughter, the others glare at her, and Fries criticizes her for it.

As the BFDIA contestants head home to prepare for the next Cake at Stake, Needle approaches Pencil and inquires about the benefits of being a Freesmart member. Pencil, puzzled, asks when Needle became a Freesmart member, and Needle explains her act of sacrifice from the previous episode. Since Pencil was dead at that time and missed it, she turns to Book for confirmation. Book points out that she, too, was dead, so Pencil remains unconvinced and tells Needle to return once she has made a sacrifice that Pencil can witness.

In "PointyPointyPointy ♫", after Pin declares she wants revenge, Pencil quickly tells the other Freesmarters to run. They all dash toward the door, but when Pencil tries to open it, she finds it locked. As a result, the bugs punish Pencil by poisoning her for "violating cake at stake etiquette."

Later, Needle recovers Pencil using the anti-poison. Pencil asks where she is, and Needle explains that she is Pencil's team member, and that they are now on Dora's island. Due to the side effects of the anti-poison, Pencil develops a strong craving to eat something and so she ends up devouring a part of the island. Dora, impressed, congratulates Pencil for completing the challenge by eating the island and allows them to advance to the next island. Pencil, surprised to see that Dora is still alive, reacts with shock, but Dora angrily sends her away.

Pencil bringing Bubble back to life

Pencil and Needle decide to help Book and Ruby advance towards Dora's island by using a pipe. Pencil instructs them to swim up the stream, and they do so. Once they reach the top, the four of them share a warm hug. However, Ruby points out that they aren't truly reunited yet and pulls out a bubble blower. Realizing what Ruby means, Pencil takes the bubble blower and uses it to bring Bubble back to life. With Bubble revived, they all share another hug before swimming up the waterfall to ascend to the next island together.

On the next island, Pencil expresses how much she misses Teardrop. Ruby then spots a Teardrop family reunion happening nearby, and they decide to check it out. During their exploration, they encounter Toilet Brush, who talks non-stop. Annoyed, Ruby pushes them off the island for not shutting up. In response, Coffeedrop rewards Ruby with a helium tank. Pencil inhales the helium and begins imitating Ruby, which leads to Ruby slapping her in frustration. Bubble also inhales the helium and starts floating into the air. The rest of the Freesmarters quickly grab onto her, and together they slowly ascend to the next island.

They reach the fourth island, where they meet Match, Coiny and Pin. Match is thrilled to see Pencil after such a long time, excitedly mentioning how much they need to catch up. Oddly, Pencil appears reluctant to talk to her, brushing off Match's enthusiasm by saying she's too busy before walking away.

The Freesmarters then observe Coiny and Pin struggling to build a raft and begin to worry that they might have to do the same. Sensing their concern and wanting to help her best friends, Match decides to share a secret with them: there’s a hidden raft located near the shipwreck on Teardrop’s island. With this newfound knowledge, the Freesmarters quickly leave to retrieve it.

They arrive at Teardrop’s island, and Pencil asks the group for ideas on how they can find the hidden raft. Book recalls that Match mentioned something about it being near the shipwreck, so they decide to split up and search various parts of the ship. After regrouping, they discover that none of them have found anything. Pencil then asks Bubble for updates, only to learn that Bubble didn’t check because she was too scared to go inside the ship. Ruby encourages everyone to go inside, reminding them that they only live once, and they all head down several flights of stairs until they reach a room with a map of the island pinned to the wall.

On the map, the Freesmarters notice a red cross marked under the shipwreck, leading Book to conclude that the raft is hidden beneath the ship. Pencil remarks that it's great and suggests they take the raft before leaving. However, before they can do so, Evil Leafy suddenly blocks the door. As Evil Leafy lunges at them, the group scatters across the room, desperately trying to avoid her. They attempt to leave the room again but Evil Leafy blocks the exit once more. Bubble then spots a trap door, so Pencil and Ruby rush over to open it. Unfortunately, the handle breaks off in the process, causing them to fall to the ground.

Evil Leafy appears right in front of Pencil, but before she can strike, Book quickly uses Needle to pry open the trap door and throws Evil Leafy off Pencil. With the path now clear, the Freesmarters swiftly escape through the trap door, however, Ruby notices that Book didn’t make it out like the rest of them. Pencil, seemingly unfazed, dismisses it by saying that Book made a noble sacrifice and that they need to move on. But just as they're about to leave, Book suddenly emerges from the water.

The group of five shares a joyful hug, grateful that Book survived, but their moment is interrupted when Evil Leafy gets in between them. Reacting quickly, Needle grabs the shipwreck and hurls it onto Evil Leafy, revealing the hidden raft beneath it. With the raft now in their possession, the Freesmarters swiftly depart from the island.

They return to Match's island, where Match proudly remarks that Freesmart is staying on top. However, when Needle asks what place they’re in, Match bluntly reveals that they’re in last, much to Pencil's frustration. Ruby shows Match the raft they retrieved, and just as they're all about to say Bubble's catchphrase, Pencil allows Bubble to say it herself. Pencil then throws the raft onto the volcano, and the group soars towards the fifth island.

Pencil and Needle

They arrive at the final island, where the challenge is to sing a song that Puffball likes in order to advance to the bunk beds and win immunity. Pencil steps onto the platform, ready to perform, but her mind goes blank as she struggles to decide on a song. She turns to Needle for help, and Needle steps up to sing a heartfelt lullaby that brings Puffball to tears. Puffball is moved by the song and allows the platform Needle and Pencil are on to rise to the bunk beds. Pencil, relieved and grateful, hugs Needle and thanks her, saying she owes her a big one. They climb into bed as Needle’s lullaby plays again from the speakers, scoring them immunity and making them the third team to do so.

In "Spore Day," Pencil stands with Needle and Book, idly chatting until Ruby eagerly approaches them, brimming with excitement. Pencil, curious, asks Ruby what’s going on. Ruby directs their attention to a nearby chameleon, excitedly pointing out that it shares her exact color. Needle chimes in, agreeing that it’s pretty impressive, but soon shifts her attention to a caterpillar behaving strangely. Concerned, she asks why it looks so shriveled up, and Book concludes that the caterpillar is likely dehydrated.

Without hesitation, Needle pulls out an eyedropper filled with water, preparing to rehydrate the creature. However, just before she can carry out the task, Pencil steps in and interrupts her. She insists on taking over, reminding Needle that she's a "full FreeSmarter," emphasizing her seniority within the group. With a quick flourish, Pencil finishes the job, dropping water on the caterpillar as Book and Ruby cheer her on. Despite the success, Needle feels a pang of disappointment, realizing that Pencil's remark about being a "full Freesmarter" implies that she herself isn't considered fully part of the team.

At the Cake at Stake ceremony, Pencil is automatically declared safe, having been one of the eight contestants who reached the bunk bed in the previous challenge. She also casually tells Book that she's "looking a bit monstrous today". When Ruby is revealed to be eliminated, Pencil becomes visibly upset. She solemnly declares that FreeSmart is falling apart, lamenting that first they lost Bubble, and now Ruby. Her words carry a sense of helplessness, feeling as though her team is crumbling piece by piece.

Needle steps in, assuring Pencil that they don’t have to lose Bubble permanently. Pulling out a bubble blower, Needle blows a new bubble, effectively reviving Bubble. As soon as Bubble comes back to life, she gratefully thanks Needle, but calls her "needy" in the process. Needle immediately slaps Bubble, causing her to pop again.

Pencil, Needle and Book

Pencil, now utterly confused, watches Needle scold the empty air for calling her "needy" when no one is there. Meanwhile, Book scans the surrounding area and realises that Ruby's sisters are being fringed, revealing that it was they, not Ruby, who had been competing in her place all along. Pencil dismisses the idea, calling it ridiculous, adding that Book "must’ve been born yesterday". Book replies that's impossible, because she is a history textbook.

For the next contest, the contestants must form groups of three. Pencil, Book, and Needle decide to team up, but after all the teams are formed, a massive wall suddenly emerges from the ground, splitting each contestant from their supposed teammates. Confused by this unexpected twist, Balloony clarifies that the teams are actually determined by the shapes printed on their mats, meaning Pencil is actually on a team with Coiny and Fries, much to her disgust.

Blocky names their team "The Hearts," which Pencil finds cute. Barf Bag then explains the challenge: all members of a team must successfully enter the birdhouse. The first team to do so will win immunity, while the others will face elimination. With the rules set, the challenge begins. Fries tries to squeeze into the birdhouse, but it's far too small for anyone to fit. Seeing this, Coiny starts crushing Fries, trying to shrink him down, while Pencil watches in shock at the absurd scene unfolding before her.

Later, Needle pulls Pencil and Book aside, expressing that she doesn't have much time. She asks if they'll regroup after the challenge, to which Pencil agrees but reminds Needle that she's still waiting for her act of sacrifice. Needle insists that she already made that sacrifice in the last episode with the jetpack, but Pencil struggles to believe it. Needle explains that it happened because Pencil was poisoned at the time, then turns to Book for confirmation. However, she finds that Book has already left, leaving Needle feeling frustrated.

Pencil in BFDIA 15

Subsequently, Pencil tells Book that she heard from Stacy that people shrink when no one is thinking about them. The scene then shifts to Tennis Ball, who is visibly shrinking as Pencil and Book observe. Book points out that, as a research journal, she can confirm that this claim is false. At that moment, Tennis Ball stops shrinking.

She returns to her team and cheers on Coiny as he continues to crush Fries. Coiny then turns to her and insists that it’s her turn next. Pencil, feeling uncomfortable with the idea, suggests changing their strategy. As she scans the area, she spots Tennis Ball holding a shrink ray and proposes that they take it for themselves. To her surprise, Fries suddenly comes to life and agrees with her suggestion.

Fries swoops in to grab the shrink ray, and with it now in their possession, Pencil tells Fries to shrink her. He complies, but ends up shrinking her down far too much. Coiny scolds Fries for the mishap, but Fries dismisses him, insisting that Pencil is now more manageable this way. He then picks her up and places her in his fries. Inside the fries, Pencil begins sampling them, discovering they're coated with sugar. The first fry tastes salty, the second one is "sweet as a gumdrop," the third has a distinct expired flavor, and the fourth makes her gag and vomit.

Later, Pencil's team is ambushed by "The Stars." Coiny pleads with Pencil for assistance, and she agrees, declaring herself the "Queen of Hearts." She leaps from fry to fry, ultimately making a final giant jump onto Pin.

Pin tries to shake Pencil off, but the latter manages to slip into her mech suit, where she quickly splits the "garbage disposal" wire in half. The sudden jolt causes Pin pain, causing her to release Fries, who is then launched into the air. Later, Pencil continues to tamper with the wires, nearly driving Pin off a ledge, but Book intervenes just in time and uses the shrink ray on Pin. Inside the mech suit, Pencil feels the walls closing in around her. To cope, she starts singing, which unexpectedly activates the companion unit. Surprised but relieved, she uses this moment to insult Pin, causing the companion unit to retract and surround her with several knives. Initially panicking, Pencil quickly recalls that she has seen this scenario before and cleverly uses the knives as a pencil sharpener. Now sharpened and ready, she manages to squeeze her way out of the mech suit, infuriating Pin.

Pencil and Book

Pencil charges at Pin using her point, telling her that this is what she gets for axing her friend Ruby. She lunges at Pin and she screams, so Book tells Pin to take cover in her pages. She gets inside and Book slams the pages shut, stopping Pencil in her tracks. She tells Book to open up, and Book apolgoises but says she has to protect her fellow teammate. Pencil reminds her that Pin is a nemesis to the Freesmart cause before taunting her by recalling the time when Pin electrocuted Book and Ruby. Convinced, Book opens the pages and Pencil hops inside. Inside, she violently attacks Pin, inadvertently destroying several venues in Book's pages.

Later, Book's pages get soaked, causing the words and illustrations to disintegrate. Pencil starts to lose her grip and falls into the water. Once submerged, the group notice that lead paint has contaminated the area, prompting Book to warn everyone to swim away to avoid poisoning. Pencil, Book, Pin, and Nickel successfully evade the lead, and Book utilizes the zap shooter to bring the birdhouse into the water, as requested by Pin. She hits her target, and the birdhouse lands in the water, but it’s soon engulfed by lead paint. Pin urges everyone to swim toward the birdhouse, but unfortunately, all of them except for Book get poisoned.

Subsequently, Pencil is recovered by Coiny. All the teams attempt to reach the birdhouse but are halted by the lead paint, which poisons them. Pin turns to Fries, blaming him for introducing the lead into the water, but Pencil counters that she’s the reason the birdhouse is even in the water. She tries to shoot Pin with the shrink ray, but Pin skilfully dodges all her attacks.

In the chaos, Pencil accidentally hits Needle with the ray, which she acknowledges. Bomby then aims the shrink ray at both Pencil and Pin. Pencil pleads with him not to hit her and suggests he target Pin instead, but Bomby decides to use it on both of them. He successfully shrinks them down, realizing afterward that he’s the only one left unchanged. However, before he can celebrate, Pencil hits him with the ray, and he shrinks as well.

Pencil, Coiny and Fries

A chaotic battle erupts among the contestants as they use their shrink rays on the opposing teams. However, Tennis Ball pauses mid-fight and realizes that they are now at the atomic level. Coiny quickly takes advantage of the situation, learning from Tennis Ball that removing three protons from an atom creates gold, which is safe to touch. He instructs Pencil and Fries to remove three protons from each atom, and they comply, throwing the excess protons at the other contestants, poisoning them one by one.

Before long, Pin is the only contestant left unpoisoned. Desperate, she begs them not to poison her like the others, pleading for any alternative. Pencil, in a rare show of respect, shoots her with the shrink ray instead. With Pin now shrunken, Pencil, Coiny, and Fries waste no time and swim toward the birdhouse. Marker watches the events unfold, commenting that "The Hearts" are mere seconds away from winning the challenge. Hearing this, Pin becomes enraged, electricity surging through her as she yells in frustration. Pencil nonchalantly agrees with her sentiment before stepping into the birdhouse, securing victory for her team.

Also, in the stinger, Pencil, Coiny, and Fries stand outside the birdhouse, eagerly anticipating what awaits them. However, once they step inside, they are met with disappointment: all they find is a large pile of chairs, a BFDI DDS, and a dirty mattress.

IDFB[]

In "Welcome Back", Pencil is preparing to eat her gumdrops but realizes that Ruby forgot to remove the Lens Cap from the camera. Shortly after, she realizes that all the video diaries are black screens and assumes viewers do not know who was eliminated in BFDIA 6. When Ruby pulls out the BFDIA 6 results, Pencil demands them but ends up falling down the Yoyle Needy.

Pencil in IDFB 1

Pencil and Book on their way to the recovery center

Book saves her life, and the two walk to recover Ice Cube, Ruby, and Bubble. They talk about Match, but Pencil complains about her being too needy. When they reach the recovery center, she types Ice Cube's name using her tongue to recover her.

Battle for BFDI[]

In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", she reunites with her alliance from previous seasons. She proved to be meaner than usual, as she demoted Bubble from a member of the alliance to a bember. She also used Lightning to zap other contestants. She formed a team called iance, with her alliance, sparing Book and Ice Cube, who found the alliance unhealthy and joined Gaty's team, which is Bleh. The team also consisted of Snowball, Fanny, Flower, and Lightning. In the first contest, she jumps and hopes to reach the basket hundreds of feet in the air. She also made Bubble cry by zapping Fanny with Lightning. These behaviors made her disliked.

In ''Lick Your Way to Freedom", she was the first voted off the show with 4,595 votes. She placed 64th overall (65th if you count Profily as a contestant).

In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Pencil is mistakenly present on the swings when Fanny was being used to propel the them. Her eraser can be seen above Lightning.

Pencil and liy

Pencil and Liy inside the EXIT

In "Enter the Exit", She appears in the EXIT along with Leafy, Bracelety, and Liy. She complains about males in "an all-girl classroom" and the class in general. She was given a chance to rejoin the battle.

In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", she got the third most votes to rejoin, with 3,712 votes.

In "The Four is Lava", she appears in Ice Cube's happy thought, where she is burned.

In "The Escape From Four", Pencil was first listening to Loser reading Donut's Diary out loud, and suggests that he should lower down his voice because they can hear him. When 8-Ball said he can't hear Pencil, she grabs a stethoscope and said she wanted to listen to the "celebrity's juiciest secrets", thinking Loser was reading his own diary. Match shortly after wanted to hear too and grabs one of the parts of the stethoscope to hear him. After listening to the journal entries stated by Loser, she and Match were shocked and Match asked her when did Loser combine with Four, and replied she doesn't know, but screamed Donut's name as Loser said it was his last entry.

Pencil later appeared looking at Stapy who was struggling to pile up some things, and Pencil suggested that Loser should climb instead because he's smaller, and the plan worked. However, when Liy was asked to throw more things, she claimed that there's nothing else to throw, and came up with the idea to use Match and Pencil to lift Loser up since they're the tallest. Pencil replies with a bored sigh, but when she heard that they would get demoted to "bember", she climbed up immediately, not wanting to be demoted.

When Spongy was halfway sucked into Four's body, Pencil realizes Spongy just got eliminated, which grosses her out. When she heard that they should climb on him, Pencil disagrees and tells Liy she can't do that. She then says she's bailing and jumps off as Match follows, leaving Loser on his own.

In "X Marks the Spot", Pencil was mentioned. It was revealed by Ruby that Pencil gave her the FreeSmart Supervan to look after before she got eliminated.

In "SOS (Save Our Show)", Pencil appears in a couple of flashbacks that weren't ever shown before. The first being a moment where she and Match talk to Eraser while the Announcer watches from the side. The second is when the Announcer appears at the top of the summit of Yoyle Mountain. Pencil asks what he's doing back, and the Announcer manages to avoid getting caught by pretending to be a tree.

In "Chapter Complete", Pencil and Bracelety appear as Four's finalists. She says that she has less appreciation for Ice Cube compared to Bracelety, but is sure that Four is better than her. She then tells some of the other contestants to chant Four's name. Suddenly, voices can be heard talking about Four coming back. Pencil asks if he left and where to. Later, Pencil is revealed to be the winner of Four's made up show and is given what looks like a glitched scribble as the prize. When Four starts to realize that none of this is real, Pencil sarcastically compliments him for figuring that out and slow claps. Four then snaps his fingers, making Pencil and the other imaginary characters disappear.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]

Pencil in TPOT 1

In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Pencil follows Liy and Stapy as they run back into the EXIT, asking what they're doing. Liy explains that she didn't get to look behind the door before Four caught her and boarded it up and that she will definitely see what's behind it this time. Pencil then watches as she pulls out a staple and uses it to unlock the door.

In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Pencil leaves the classroom with the other EXITors except Roboty, who Pencil says to leave behind when Four catches him. After walking down a hallway for a while, at the end they discover what appears to be a dimension themed entirely around Four.

In "Outbreak At Stake", Pencil discusses with the other exitors in the Fourest about where to go next with Pencil saying they should go back to the school. Stapy comes up with the idea to split up into groups, so Pencil breaks everyone into groups of three and tells them where to search. Pencil groups herself with David and Bracelety to search the classrooms. As they climb up a wall, David complains, and Bracelety interprets that he's upset they didn't save Roboty. Pencil says they can check on the classroom along the way. However, Four attacks them, so Pencil's group runs away to another room. Inside said room, is proof that other numbers exist.

In "Out Of The Blue", Pencil finds herself in the aforementioned room with David and Bracelety, feeling confused about their location. She starts to worry that there might be no way out. Bracelety approaches the door, ready to open it, but Pencil stops her, fearing that Four might be outside. Pencil suggests a diversion. When the door opens and Four appears, they throw David out as a distraction. After Four leaves, Pencil congratulates David and they continue down the hallway. Pencil says the others are searching for an exit, so they need to help. Bracelety starts counting the classrooms but is quickly told to shut up by Pencil.

Pencil in TPOT 11

Pencil checking to see if Bracelety's okay after four throws her off

A montage shows all the exitors trying to escape without success over the course of four years. Pencil, David, and Bracelety keep opening doors, but none lead to an exit. Annoyed with all the classrooms, they end up in the principal’s office, which also isn’t an escape. Pencil admits she doesn’t know what to do. Bracelety encourages her to keep going, but Pencil is losing hope after searching for four years.

Bracelety mentions Four’s mouth, giving Pencil the idea to escape through it. Four enters, announcing he deleted the stack, making Pencil yell in frustration. She decides to create a new one and uses the mic to tell the others to bring any random items that could help, thinking it may be their only way out.

As Bracelety is beating Four up, he pushes her off and Pencil asks if she's okay. After David knocks Four out, Pencil is relieved and heads off with Bracelety and David to find items for their stack. They enter the theater and notice a bunch of props on stage. Pencil thinks about using them for their stack.

Hearing screams from the others, she deduces that Four has found some of them. She quickly runs to the principal’s office, grabs the mic, and announces a show to distract Four. She runs back to the theatre and tells David to take down the set for their stack whilst she and Bracelety put on a performance for Four. At first they seem to be recreating the first scene from "Take the Plunge," but Bracelety goes off track and starts talking about Ice Cube. Pencil is annoyed by this, but then realises that it doesn’t matter as long Four is distracted.

Backstage, David gathers props from the set and stores them in the storage room. Pencil agrees it's a good idea and rushes back to the stage to announce the end of the show, suggesting they switch to a culinary class instead. Later, she's seen baking cupcakes in the kitchen with Bracelety and Four.

David tries to sneak out an oven but accidentally makes a loud noise hitting the wall. Four asks about the noise, and Pencil quickly initiates a food fight to distract him. Bracelety throws Four's own cupcake at him. When the timer ends, Pencil informs him that he failed the class because he didn't bake a cupcake. Four retaliates by blasting them both.

During swimming class, Pencil organizes a race to the end and back. Four takes the lead, so Pencil submerges him underwater long enough for Bracelety to surpass him. They struggle underwater, and Four eventually blasts her, but by the time they've emerged from the water, Bracelety already won. Later, Pencil praises Bracelety's painting over Four's, appreciating its soulful quality.

They continue attending classes until Four abruptly leaves upon receiving a vision from Liy about a potential escape. Bracelety suggests an Ice Cube-themed class next, and Pencil says as long as they don't study her ugly face. Remembering David's stack, they head to the storage room immediately. Pencil encourages her team and expresses excitement about finally escaping.

Upon arrival, they gather items swiftly and begin rebuilding. More join them, and Match and Pencil share a hug before Liy redirects their focus back to stacking. After Firey Jr, Dora and 8-Ball arrive, Firey Jr explains that they brought less because Four destroyed half their stack. Pencil doesn't believe him, however, thinking it's an excuse.

Once their stack is finished, Pencil and Liy realize it's slightly off for their escape, but Bracelety saves them using Roboty's plunger. They manage to escape, but just as Four prepares to send them back, Two steps in and instead hires them as chefs for the failed debuters. The exitors complain that it's not any better so they attempt another escape. Liy breaks the windows using Pencil's lead and the episode ends on a cliffhanger.

Pencil's debut audition

In "What's Up Bell's String?", the exitors are continuing to break the windows, and Pencil appears to be completely knocked out due to Liy using her lead to shatter the glass. At the end of the episode, she is given a chance to join TPOT. In her audition, she references her previous rejoining auditions; "Gardening Hero" and "Enter the Exit".

In "Category One", Pencil is holding onto a rope connected to the hotel, along with the other exitors. Two decides to let Four handle the hosting, and Pencil remarks that they can't just trade away all their problems. Later, she finds herself in the final three alongside Liy and Bracelety. Two reaches out and grabs them, bringing all three inside.

As Two is about to reveal the results, they notice the whiteboard says that two contestants with the most votes will join the game, not just one. Although puzzled by this, they brush it off before announcing that Pencil and Liy both join the game with 20,336 and 25,250 votes, respectively.

They are asked to choose which team they want to join, which frustrates Golf Ball. In response, Pencil casually pushes Golf Ball down the stairs. Two informs Pencil that since Death Pact Yet Again and Bagged already have seven members, she must choose between Team 2 and CloudYAY. Pencil asks if "Two" refers to them, and when Two says yes, Pencil immediately picks CloudYAY. Two asks if she's sure, and Pencil confirms before walking away.

Downstairs, Pencil notices Book and Ice Cube and immediately heads over to greet them. However, both are hesitant to engage due to their rocky past. Two redirects Pencil to her new team, CloudYAY, and she sarcastically comments on how "great" that is. Later, Pencil spots a swarm of bugs rapidly approaching, and she quickly shuts the door.

The challenge is to prevent the wildlife outside from entering the hotel, more specifically Two's room. Pencil asks if Two really thinks they can sleep through the storm, and the scene cuts to Two sound asleep, holding a jar of milk. Pencil slaps them awake, and Two reassures her they'll be fine because the milk always helps them sleep. Pillow, doubtful, drinks the milk and immediately falls asleep, prompting Pencil to slap her awake.

With the instructions clear, everyone rushes to secure the door, but Pencil gets there first. She blocks the exit, pushes Pen aside, throws Fanny away, and trips Tennis Ball. As Snowball charges toward her, Pencil swiftly throws both him and Grassy outside. Grassy suggests using the milk to put Two to sleep again, so Pencil locks the door to Two's bedroom to prevent them from coming through. Grassy and Snowball bang on the door until Snowball accidentally breaks it, tearing a hole in the process. Angered, Snowball demands to know why Pencil did that, but she dismisses him and leaves.

Pencil charges toward Team 2, knocking them all aside as they fall down the stairs. She reaches out to grab Book, eagerly expressing how happy she is to see her. However, Ice Cube steps in, grabs Book, and walks away with her. As they leave, Price Tag casually calls Pencil a "newbie". Puzzled, Pencil pauses and questions who Price Tag is.

Pencil joins CloudYAY in the elevator, which takes them to the top floor. Upon arrival, Golf Ball immediately starts strategizing, but eventually gets into an argument with Donut, so Pillow pushes both of them out of the elevator and closes the door. They head back downstairs, and Yellow Face begins talking about drawing. Annoyed, Pencil tells him to shut up, adding that if she wanted to hear nonsense, she would’ve hung out with Dora instead. Winner tells her that she'll learn to understand him overtime before picking Pencil up and taking her to Yellow Face’s ad dimension, where they use her to draw a rope. Pillow requests for some weapons, so Winner creates a flamethrower. Once the flamethrower is finished, Pillow aims it at Winner, engulfing them in flames. Pencil tries to blow out the flames but fails. Meanwhile, Yellow Face ties the rope to a log, and they all pile into the elevator.

At the top, Pillow is in the middle of a fight with a dragon, with the rope attached to her leg. However, the other end of the rope breaks. Winner warns Pillow about the situation, and everyone tries to pull her back, but the wind is too strong. They all get swept into the air and land on the dragon, enraging it. As they cling to the dragon, it accidentally bumps into a David, triggering an explosion. To make matters worse, a fish monster lands on them. Pencil, now frustrated, tells Team 2 that they should have agreed to her alliance before launching the fish monster into Two’s room, causing Team 2 to lose the challenge. The storm subsides, the contest ends and the dragon gently setting them down at ground level. CloudYAY emerges victorious and safe from elimination.

Trivia[]

Comparisons[]

Competition[]

BFDI[]

  • In Total Firey Island, Pencil won the competition, making her the first character to win an object competition.
  • Pencil spent the most time on the Squishy Cherries, due to her being picked first and lasting until the teams were removed.
  • Pencil's elimination in BFDI is considered unique:
    • She was inappropriate for elimination, as she won the previous challenge; She was put up for elimination because her points exceeded the two-digit limit (105 -> 5), resetting back to the first few numbers.
  • Pencil was the last contestant to be eliminated before the point system was removed.
  • Pencil holds the record for going the longest time in season 1 without getting any votes, at 1 year and 3 months, or 15 episodes.
    • However, on April 1st, 2011, Englishcreamcakes cast the first ever vote for Pencil. She got 37 other votes as well for episode 17.
      • Ironically, she was the first contestant to receive the most votes in BFB.

BFDIA[]

  • Pencil came in 11th place out of the original contestants in Season 2 voting.
  • Due to Pencil teaming up with Coiny on The Beautiful Face Devotion Institute, Leafy is now the only original season 1 contestant that Pencil has never been on the same team with.
  • Out of the original four members of FreeSmart, Pencil is the only one who never won a prize.
  • Due to Pencil not being up for elimination, in BFDIA 16, she will officially surpass her rank in BFDI by placing higher than 9th place.
  • Pencil was originally going to be inside of the Locker of Losers in IDFB, but the idea was dropped and Pencil was one of the objects that were free in Yoyle City. Gelatin has a similar fate.[1]

BFB[]

  • She has the least amount of votes to be eliminated in BFB, at only 4,595 votes. This is slightly lower than 8-Ball, who got 4,814 elimination votes.
  • Pencil was the first contestant eliminated in Battle for BFDI.
    • This makes her the lowest ranking female, contestant with all limbs, contestant competing in BFDI and BFDIA, free character in IDFB, contestant voiced by Michael Huang, and member of iance.
  • BFB is the first and currently only season to have Pencil outranked by Match.
  • Pencil and David are the only contestants with rejoin auditions in both BFDI and BFB.
  • Pencil and Match are the only original BFDI contestants in the EXIT.
  • She's the only contestant in BFB who never used their voting icon for voting.
  • She is the lowest ranking contestant from BFB to compete in TPOT.

TPOT[]

  • Pencil, Pin, Coiny, Ice Cube, Rocky, Tennis Ball, Golf Ball and Needle are the only characters who've been in every season of BFDI.
  • Pencil is the second first boot to rejoin, the first being Flower.
  • Pencil is one of the four original Squishy Cherries in TPOT, the others are Pen, Eraser, and Pin.
  • Because of Pencil's debut in "Category One", TPOT marks the first time where she competes in a season without Match (not counting IDFB, as that isn't a competition season).
  • Pencil is the second person to join TPOT late, the first being Teardrop and the third being Liy.
  • CloudYAY is the first team Pencil has competed on with none of her alliance members.
  • Due to joining the same team as Donut, Pencil is now one of the few contestants who've been on the same team with every BFDIA contestant at least once, along with Bomby, Spongy, Needle, Golf Ball, and Yellow Face.
  • Unless Pencil reaches the finale of BFDIA or TPOT, she will be the only contestant in the series to be eliminated in every single competitive season by viewer vote.
  • Just by merely debuting into TPOT in "Category One", no matter where Pencil places, it will be significantly better than her ranking of 64th/65th in BFB.
    • This makes BFB the only season where Pencil ranked worse than in a previous season.

General[]

  • Pencil enjoys chanting, as seen in "Barriers and Pitfalls", "Reveal Novum", "Gardening Hero", "The Long-lost Yoyle City", "Enter the Exit" and "What's Up Bell's String?."
  • Pencil seems to enjoy drawing, particularly when she's bored as she doodles all over her tests in "Are You Smarter Than a Snowball?" and "Enter the Exit", as well as her desk in the EXIT.

  • In BFDI, sometimes Pencil and Match's mouths are seen connected into one.

  • The first version of Pencil had an upside down body and no arms. Pencil 1.0 was officially called "scary".
