Appearance[]
Boyfriend is a young, rather short, light-skinned man with spiky cyan hair and a confident expression. He wears a magenta-white T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy dark blue pants, pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles as well as black dots on the quarters, and a backward pink-red cap with a dark blue brim. He holds a bluish gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket. He is drawn in a chibi style.
During Week 4, his hair gets blown around as a result of standing on a moving car.
During Week 5, he wears a red parka with white fur, light blue pants and light brown snow boots, to suit the Christmas theme.
During Week 6 and as the opponent of the unused song Test, his regular appearance is brightened and rendered in pixel art style. He also moves his microphone differently.
During the last track of Week 7, he holds Girlfriend up by the waist with his left hand and sing with her.
Personality[]
Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts, and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent about reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death.
Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, not realizing when he is in danger or being overconfident about his ability to get out of it. As a result, he is afraid of virtually nothing. This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threatening of him and Girlfriend. Despite this, he has street smarts, as he knows how to heal people. Boyfriend also seems to get bored of scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one.
Boyfriend has been diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. Oftentimes, he will simply beep at strangers instead of talking, giving the impression that he is rather eccentric, although he often does communicate verbally with those whom he is close with. He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap. Boyfriend has low levels of empathy, but he has good intuition. He may live in a messy place, as he does not wash his dirty clothes and continuously moves a pile of them around his room depending on his needs, which also suggests that he has executive dysfunction. His object permanence is also not very good at times. He has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. He doesn't know very well how to handle money, either, as when he has to pay for a hamburger, he will pay less than what the hamburger costs.
Boyfriend seems quite willing to do immoral things. From tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes, getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs, and vandalizing PlayPlaces, Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.

- Then, he appears again making another cameo in Spooky Month - Tender Treats where there is a kid who wears the same clothes that Boyfriend wears.

- However, much like Girlfriend, Boyfriend is afraid of lightning, as whenever lightning strikes, Boyfriend will briefly wince and shudder.
- Boyfriend is capable of speaking English, he just chooses to speak in "Beeps and Boops" since he doesn't like talking to people.
- The only time Boyfriend is shown talking in English is in the Bf remix of Fresh.
- Bf's voice is provided by Kawai Sprite, the music compositor for the game.
- It's confirmed in a Reddit post that Boyfriend is shorter than Girlfriend, as she appears to be taller than him while sitting on the speakers.
- However he looks short because he, along with Girlfriend and Pico, are drawn in the chibi artstyle, though it is possible he really is on the short side as shown in the gameover screen with his skeleton albeit he is slouching.
- Bf is canonically 7 feet tall.

- In the wintertime, when Boyfriend and Girlfriend look away from each other for more than 10 minutes and then look back toward each other, they hold their arms out wide and run toward each other to hug each other, as their object permanence is sometimes not very good. Sometimes they will go to kiss and accidentally bump into a cold pole and kiss it, and both get their tongues stuck there for hours. The fire department even knows them by name.
- If Girlfriend became a worm, Boyfriend would still love her. While it would impact their love lives and change things, they could get used to it. Boyfriend would also figure out a way to change her back, even if it took him a decade.
- Right now, WeekEnd 1 is currently the only week where BF isn't the playable protagonist, not even appearing in the week aside from a brief mention in the opening cutscene.
