Pillow

Pillow appears to be a bed pillow. Her sheet is white, and her inside is orchid in color.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 at that time, 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 (even though it's mostly one-sided from her), 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. It is implied that Pillow's apathy is largely a result of the lack of consequences in the competition; since everyone who dies gets recovered, Pillow views harming or killing them as worthwhile if it advances her research. When faced with the potential of permanent death, Pillow will take it seriously. For example, she was visibly terrified by the world nearly ending in "Seasonal Shift", and after she tossed Yellow Face into what she thought could be a bottomless pit in "Suite Escape" (under the assumption that it would reverse his gravity), she quickly grabbed him and apologized before getting pulled in with him.
