In Battle for Dream Island Again, Pillow had the chance to join at the start of the season but she only received 79 votes which wasn't enough, placing 51st to join the season and so she was sent to the Tiny Loser Chamber.

In Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, Pillow competed on Just Not until the team swap in "What's Up Bell's String?" where she was instead put on CloudYAY by One. Pillow was eliminated in "Bottle For Dream Island" with 33,613 votes, placing 18th overall.

Personality[]
Pillow generally acts with a carefree attitude. Whether it’s her nonchalant behavior during challenges, or her lack of concern about hurting others, she seems mostly unbothered by the consequences of her actions. Her addiction to violence seems to stem from an unknown event between BFDIA and BFB, as she claims in "PointyPointyPointy ♫" that she would never willingly advocate for such actions. Pillow sees killing as a form of good luck, which drives her to try it repeatedly.
BFB[]
Pillow is apathetic and eccentric. Similar to Golf Ball, Pillow is interested in research. Her research is seemingly random and made up, such as when she misinterprets Teardrop's arm fluttering as "not caring", suggesting that it's due to "care spirits" leaving her body. She seems to enjoy taking notes, as she can be seen writing in a sketchbook when Donut infected himself with the Twinkle of Contagion, although Pillow's Official Character Guide biography mentions that she doesn't know how to write, hinting that she might draw pictures instead.[note 1] It's also hinted that Pillow is illiterate, as she picks up Book to look at the pictures instead of reading her.
TPOT[]
Pillow is portrayed as someone who approaches violence and destruction with curiosity rather than hostility, making her presence scary and menacing. Her curiosity is driven by her research, which indicates that she may be rationalizing her violent behaviors through a warped perspective. To her, death is not something to fear or avoid, but rather a necessary or even positive force. In her mind, her focus on death isn’t about cruelty; it's about success and fun.
Her killing is nothing personal to the victim, as shown by how she is friends with people she's killed like Book, Bomby, and Price Tag, but she still keeps killing them. It is also shown by the fact that she didn't see the problem with putting Price Tag down in acid. This fact implies that, for Pillow, violence and harm are normal things that shouldn't be avoided.
Despite this, Pillow remains disgusted by the idea of doing good deeds. She's tried other methods of good luck, like showing kindness, but continues to display her violent tendencies in smaller doses. She torments Bomby with a blender and kills Donut in "Category One". However, her violence is occasionally used to her team's advantage, such as when Winner gives her a flamethrower to kill the dragons on the hotel's roof.
Official Character Guide biography[]
Pillow is a big, fluffy down pillow, who is unpredictable. She can stuff objects inside her pillowcase or use it as a weapon. However, she's not all-powerful... she can't even tell which things she's allowed to eat.
Pillow likes to think of herself as a scientist, although her research is often faulty. For instance, she thought that people who waved their arms around didn't care about things. She was wrong. Not a good look for a scientist, don't you agree?
Did You Know?: Pillow doesn't know how to write.[note 1]

- Pillow is one of the nine characters who own a phone, along with Coiny, Two, Flower, Fanny, Leafy, Fries, Price Tag and Barf Bag.
- Pillow is the fifth character to vomit, after Pin, Rocky, Puffball Speaker Box, and Ruby, sixth if you go by chronological order as Pencil vomits in "Spore Day".

Competition[]
- Pillow and Ice Cube are the only contestants in TPOT who have been on a team with both debutants at some point.

- Out of all these contestants, Pillow has been on the most amount of different teams at 3.
- Pillow avoided being up for elimination for the second longest amount of time out of the BFB contestants. She hadn't lost since "Fortunate Ben" and was finally up for voting again in "Gardening Zero". The only contestant who lasted longer is Pen, who lost one episode after her in "Fishes and Dishes".
- This means Pillow took to the longest to lose again out of the female BFB contestants.
- Pillow currently holds the record for the lowest amount of save votes received in an episode, despite being the most voted to stay on a team, at 3,211 votes.
- Pillow, along with Black Hole, Fanny, Marker, Pin and Tree has been up for elimination the most times in row in TPOT so far, at 3.

- In "Balancing P.A.C.T.", Pillow became the first female contestant to get the most votes out of two teams.
- "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", marked Pillow's first time not being one of the first two contestants safe, let alone it also being her first time not having the most votes in TPOT.
- Regardless, she managed to always be one of the first three contestants safe in every Cake at Stake she was in until her elimination in "Bottle For Dream Island".
- Pillow, Pin, Book, Golf Ball, and Pencil are the only females to be safe with the most votes while competing on a team.
- Pillow is the only one who didn't compete in BFDI or BFDIA.

General[]
- Pillow believes that fluttering arms indicate a lack of care in someone.
- There is an official throw and floor pillow of Pillow on Redbubble. It can be found and purchased here.
- Pillow appears to only be a pillowcase, with nothing inside of her. This is evidenced by how she was able to stick a popper inside of her without having it hit any substance.
- This is contradicted in "Outbreak At Stake" and "Oneirophobe's Nightmare" where she is shown to have actual stuffing inside of her when she's cut open with a glass bottle.
- It is unknown if Pillow wants to prevent death. This is due to her joining Death P.A.C.T. because she heard someone say "killing".
- However, given that she leaves Death P.A.C.T without even informing them in "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", it's likely that she doesn't.
- This is further proven in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life" when she kills Price Tag and Drilly, with Black Hole adding that she was always like this.
- In "Four Goes Too Far" and "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Pillow can be seen writing in a notebook. Given that she apparently doesn't know how to write, it brings into question what exactly she's writing down.
- However, in "Fishes and Dishes", Pillow is shown writing words inside of Book, and they are coherent enough to read.
- In "Enter the Exit", Pillow speaks with a higher than usual pitch.
- According to the Battle for Dream Island: Official Character Guide, Pillow can use her pillowcase as a weapon.
- This is shown in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" when she uses her body to smother Four, only to die in the process.
- In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Pillow is revealed to not have a heart.
- In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Pillow's phone number is revealed to be 2,763 by Fanny.
- She is currently the only character in TPOT being voiced by Cindy Jiang as the only other contestant who was voiced by Cindy Jiang, Foldy, got eliminated in "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters".
- In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", it is revealed that Pillow vomits fluff instead of normal vomit.
- Pillow is the 4th left-handed character, with the others being Lollipop, Pie, and Needle.
- The first death she encountered was Pan Flute's death, but that was the only death she didn't like so far.
- Pillow forms a temporary alliance with X in "The Power of Four", working as a seeker. This makes her the only contestant to form an alliance with a host or co-host.
- Pillow had the most deaths in "I SAID CAREFUL!!!", despite the fact that she mostly likes killing.
- Unlike other characters eliminated by Four, she does not get sucked up. She just disappears completely.
- Pillow is the first and only contestant that has died to one of Four's Screeches, although it was that combined with scratches.
