Bonnie is portrayed via animatronic puppet effects provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, alternating between a stationary animatronic puppet and a full-body suit with an animatronic head.

Appearance[]
Classic[]
Bonnie's appearance is almost identical to his original incarnation in the first Five Nights at Freddy's game, although he does bear a few slight differences. He is now more of a light blue, like in Help Wanted, as opposed to his original self's looking more faded indigo. His bow tie is now made of fabric instead of molded plastic. The lighter color on his belly now extends up to his neck as opposed to stopping just below his bow tie. Curiously, the pads on the bottoms of his feet are now black instead of sharing the lighter blue color of his accents.

Ghost Kid[]
The Ghost Child who possesses Bonnie, is shown to be quite tall. He has short, curly black hair and on his head he wears a pair of paper rabbit ears, like the machine he operates. he wears a dark blue sweater with the midsection and end section being gray, and wears blue denim pants.
Personality[]
Like his video game counterpart, Bonnie is an animatronic who kills any security guard working the night shift. It's said that he is the most hostile of the group, which is reflected in his actions. He seems to reflect a form of anger the others don't show naturally. This doesn't mean he is not patient, as he's capable of predicting if somebody is going to enter a room before hiding in that exact room in preparation, as demonstrated by how he killed Hank.
However, Bonnie isn't a bad person and, like his bandmates, he is instead a very tragic individual. Like his friends, he was once an innocent child who had his life cut short by William Afton, who abducted him, killed him and stuffed his corpse inside the Bonnie animatronic suit alongside his friends. It's also mentioned by Vanessa that Bonnie and his bandmates don't want to hurt anyone, as they are influenced by William into committing all of their murders for him.
Despite this, Bonnie, like his bandmates, is shown to be kind and playful towards children, as demonstrated through his relationship with Abby. Despite being manipulated by Afton into attempting to stuff her into an animatronic suit and kill her brother, Mike, he does seem genuinely care about the girl, participating in building a fort with her and the others. He is also quite comical, shown when he falls on his back while building the fort, but manages to give a thumbs up to let Abby know that he is fine.
History[]
For an unknown certain amount of time, Bonnie killed several people under William Afton's control before Mike arrived as a security guard at Freddy's.
During Mike's first shift at Freddy's, as Mike explored the place, he was discovered by Mike whilst checking the animatronics behind the curtain on the show stage. After several minutes later when Mike fell asleep, the child appeared in his dream along with the other ghost children. When he was asked by Mike to as what happened to his younger brother, he and along with the other ghost children ran away from Mike.
Mike encountered the child again during his second shift during his second dream sequence, when Mike asked furiously where Garrett was, he and the other ghost children ran away from Mike again. Later, Vanessa Shelly showed Mike, Bonnie and the other animatronics because she wanted him to properly meet them.
After Mike's second shift, Bonnie and the other animatronics were activated after a group of criminals broke in and began hunting them down. Bonnie was precisely after Hank, and encountered him in the supply closet when he was trying to hide. Hank was unable to escape and screamed helplessly in terror as Bonnie moved slowly towards him, killing him off-screen in the process. Later on when Jeff came into the office and checked on the security cameras, Bonnie and Chica were in one of the hallways.
During Mike's third shift, Bonnie and the fellow animatronics attempted to kidnap Abby, but were interrupted by Mike, who was trying to rescue her. Before leaving the place, Abby drew a heart for Bonnie as a gift. He went back to the show stage after Mike and Abby left the place.
During Mike's fourth shift, Bonnie and the fellow animatronics build a makeshift fort along with Mike, Vanessa and Abby. At one point during the fort's construction - presumably due to his heavy weight as he is an animatronic - Bonnie fell backwards onto the floor, but gave a thumbs up when Abby asked if he is okay. While Abby is dancing with the animatronics as Mike and Vanessa returned, Abby strums Bonnie's guitar despite Vanessa calling her out not to do it, which electrocutes her, knocking her unconscious.
In the final dream sequence, when Mike ultimately refused to surrender Abby Schmidt to the ghost children, they began to retaliate and attack Mike, nearly killing him.
During Mike's fifth and final shift, Bonnie and Freddy Fazbear were performing on the show stage while Chica and Abby Schmidt went into the backroom. Bonnie did detect Mike and was shortly electrocuted alongside Freddy, where they both slipped backwards and were briefly deactivated.
Moments later, after William Afton tells the animatronics to wake up because they have someone to play with, Bonnie reactivated and joined the other animatronics under William Afton's control and tried to take Abby, but after Abby drew a picture for the animatronics - of William murdering him and his friends - to show what he truly was, the memories of their deaths returned to the animatronics. Bonnie and the others ultimately turned against Afton after they discovered the truth about him.
During the Spring Lock Failure, Bonnie and the other animatronics watched him as he suffered and writhed in pain, and with Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place internally collapsing before them, Bonnie and the other two animatronics followed Foxy into the engineering room.
It is uncertain at this time as to what might have happened to Bonnie along with the rest of the animatronics after Freddy Fazbear Pizza's Place internally collapsed.
