--- Bowie Anderson

- Bowies full name is Bowie Bonnie Blair Anderson. Her two middle names are each of her grandmothers names (Bonnies full name in the Toy Story films is Bonnie Blair Anderson)

- Her address in Redwood hollow is 1225 Sycamore Street (The Andersons home address in the Toy Story films)

- Bowie was born and grew up in a suburban town called Sunnyside. It’s not far from Redwood Hollow (Throwback to Sunnyside Daycare from Toy Story 3)

- Moved from Sunnyside to Australia and then moved to Redwood Hollow when she was 15 (Signifies the change in Bonnies life when she started daycare in the films and how this happened at a significant age for her personality growth and development)

- Her mother is a receptionist and her father is an architect (Bonnie’s mum is a receptionist of Sunnyside Daycare in Toy Story 3)

- Her parents knew and were friends with the Pride siblings parents before they disappeared, and Bowie grew up alongside Woody and Jessie until their parents disappeared and they went to live with their uncle (Symbolises Bonnie growing up with Woody and Jessie as her toys in the films)

- Bowie is creative and imaginative

- Bowie makes gadgets and robots for fun and for her job as a design engineer. The first ever robot she made was called Forky and her second was called Knifey

- Bowie is painfully shy. She doesn’t talk a lot and is mostly mute unless she has got to know someone and feels comfortable enough around them.

Morgan had a singular box of popcorn in the basket hanging loosely in the crook of their arm. Not exactly a robust trip but they had a craving damn it and nothing was going to stop them. Well…maybe something would stop them. As they passed by an aisle, they noticed a girl attempting to grab something off the top shelf. They couldn’t help but slow to a stop, absolutely enraptured by the struggle. Sure, they could help her, but they wanted to see this girl overcome! Go, short girl, go! Rise above and break the glass ceiling!

But soon they were making eye contact and Morgan straightened, a little embarrassed at being caught. “Of course!” They said, as if they hadn’t just not been helping her for entirely too long. They strutted forward and reached up, plucking the spread off the shelf without a problem and holding it out. “Here you go. You know, how are you in heels? It can be a pain in the ass at first but once you get the hang of it, they’re a real help in a cinch. Maybe a good wedge?”

-

She did consider climbing the shelves to reach the top, but she honestly didn’t think that would end well for her, so she decided against it. A helping hand from someone nearby would be the most logical step and that’s when her eyes landed on someone with popcorn.

“Thank you” she said with a smile as she took the jar and placed it into her basket. Bowie shook her head at their question “I’ve never really worn heels before. I’ve never had anywhere to go that would deem appropriate to wear heels.” Socially shy, she didn’t ever attend parties or event. Her parents did try to convince her to go to things like that, but Bowie had never taken the bait.

Anna loved to go to the grocery store, she always got cake mix, chocolate, cookies, pizza, a bunch of delicious things, which meant her sister would have to go there again and get some actual food, but she loved it anyway. Anna was in a good mood and wanted to bake a huge cake, she really wanted to invite everyone over to her house and do a small party, that way Elsa would be comfortable inviting any girl she wanted to hang out with, after grabbing everything she needed, a bunch of party snacks, and some things she did not needed but seemed fun and tasty, she was on her way to the check-out when someone asked her help. Anna smile. “Of course! How can I help you?”

-

She was nervous enough asking for help, but she hadn’t thought it through far enough that she would actually have to speak to people. Bowie wasn’t great socially and right now the nerves were rattling off of her. “Could you help me get one of the jars of chocolate spread down from the top shelf?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper “I can’t reach it and no one else is around to help” It was the last item on her list that she needed to get, and she wasn’t leaving the store without a jar - she was determined to get one.

“I might be a magician,” Rachel teased, tearing the bag so that they could use it as a make-shift plate. She had definitely tried to learn a few magic tricks when she was growing up, invented mostly to keep herself occupied when home alone, but ‘Mother’ never found them all that impressive. Mind reading, of course, wasn’t one of the tricks she had learned, and put the cupcake choice down to luck.

“Of course I’m sure! It’d go to waste otherwise,” she insisted, sliding the paper and cake across to Bowie. “I’m not very good at making choices,” Rachel admitted with little laugh. “And I felt bad for leaving the other one behind, so I ended up just buying both.”

-

“Then you’re the best magician around” If being a magician meant being able to conjure up her favourite kind of cupcake then she thought that maybe she should look into being a magician. She could do with infinite cupcakes. For now, she would settle for being the engineer while Rachel was the magician.

“T-Thank you. That’s very kind of you” she smiled softly. Still wary, but softly nonetheless. Is this what it was like to have a friend? Or an acquaintance? “If it makes you feel any better, I’m not either. I always panic and get flustered”

~ Ollie looked up at the shelf, smiling brightly. “Of course I can!” They said grabbing the spread down for them. “Is that pretty good? I’ve only ever tried the hazelnut brand, but didn’t know they had a chocolate one.” They questioned, grabbing a jar down for themselves and reading the label.

-

Bowie visibly relaxed at the other agreeing to help her reach the jar. “Thank you” she smiled and held the jar close to her chest “It’s amazing. It mixes white chocolate and milk chocolate. It tastes like kinder eggs and it’s so good”

“Yeah people might not know it but I used to have agression as a coping mechanism for stress. Thanks to therapy I learned to have better methods to cope with fear and anxiety.” Adam wasn’t proud of the man he had been in the past but he was working on becoming a better person, and everyone in his staff could see that much. “Instead of yelling I go to a quiet place and focus on my breathing now.” He said in the hope that it would be helpful advice to her. Than again everyone was different.

-

“You did? I had no idea” she was baffled by that. Looking at Adam, she couldn’t see him as someone aggressive. He was the nice man that always let her know if there was a better drink available than the one she ordered, like the unicorn drink that was going down a treat with Bowie. “That sounds like it would be helpful. Maybe I should give that a try to see if it’ll help”

With the confirmation given, Ellie was called to help out at the Redwood Hollow Zoo petting zoo while it ran for the town’s event. She was around with some other staff members to allow the general public to meet some of the zoo’s baby animals, some of which were the new lambs, rabbits and chicks. She smiled at some people who had arrived at the area and guided them towards the public area

“Hi! Welcome to Redwood Hollow Zoo where you’re able to meet some of the lovely residents here up close over the net few days. Are there any animals that you’re looking to meet today?”

-

While the town’s event was going on Bowie was working her butt off like a busy bee to make sure that she completed a prosthetic for one of the animals at the zoo that had been requested. A lamb born with a leg deficiency that when teamed with a prosthetic would allow it to have the best possible life. Bowie had brought the item along when she stopped by the zoo, her chest bursting with happiness that she could be of some help. The artist in her had even decorated the prosthetic to look like a spring field picture - it helped kids not be so intimidated when they were approached with things like this, and animals were the same.

“Hi Ellie” she waved “I-I have the prosthetic for Larry the lamb for you”

Candy. That was the only reason Ollie had come to the grocery store that afternoon. Well, candy, some fruit, vegetables. Basically all the basic food groups, but candy was high on the list. Currently walking down an aisle, a carrot that they had full intentions of paying for between their teeth, Ollie stopped when a voice called out to them. Doing a quick spin to make sure they were the one being called, Ollie stepped over. “Yeah? What’s up?” they questioned biting off another piece of carrot. 

-

She felt awkward for asking for someone's help since she was too short to reach the top shelf, her cheeks red with embarrassment that she had to ask in the first place. “Sorry to bother you. Could you help me please? I can’t reach the top shelf for the chocolate spread. Could you lift one down for me please?”

“Its all I can offer truly.” Adam joked, the café had always been a dream of his, and it was a wonder that he actually managed to start his café in such a lovely town. It was like he was a moth drawn to a flame when it came to the place, he just couldn’t stay away like he belonged here. “I understand honestly, I get frustrated when people try to rush me and anxious as well.” He admitted. “But I’ve tried meditation and that certainly seemed to help.”

-

A wide smile spread across her face and she visibly relaxed at Adam’s understanding of her anxiety. Knowing that Adam wouldn’t rush her along was a comfort to her “You do?” she asked “But you always seem so confident” Confident was one thing Bowie was not “My mum got me to try that once, but I got distracted all the time”

Rachel grinned, opening the box like she was presenting something absolutely spectacular. She even hummed a little song, like one might hear in a movie when a box of glowing treasure was opened. (She had been watching a ton of movie’s with her mom lately, she would make as many cultural references as she could get at this point!)

“You’re totally in luck,” she chirped, revealing that she had chosen one of those very cupcakes. The other in the bag was swirled with purple icing, and an edible yellow flower. “I must have mind reading powers of something. How freaky is that? Here, you can have it, and I even have some spare napkins so we don’t get crumbs everywhere!”

-

Bowie’s face lit up at the big and honestly very impressive showbiz style reveal Rachel had given her, especially when that reveal had landed on the exact type of cupcake that Bowie had just told her she loved.

“Are you a magician?” she asked because how else would she have known the exact kind she liked. It was settled. Rachel was a witch. “A-Are you sure? Why aren’t you having it?” Over the years of school, Bowie had learned the tactics of some bullies, and that in turn had made her pretty suspicious of people giving out things.

Bowie was roaming around the grocery store, collecting items that she needed for her weekly shop. Top of her shopping list was a very specific chocolate spread that she practically lived off of and unfortunately for her, it was on the top shelf and at the back of it. Bowie stood up on her tiptoes and gave her best effort to reach the jar, making a grabbing motion with her hand in hopes that it would magically help. It felt cruel of the jar to taunt her by letting her fingertips graze it only for it to still be out of reach. Letting out a huff, she stared up at the shelf with a frown on her face and a pout on her lips. If anyone doubted her determination from the jar it would’ve been wiped when she looked around to see if anyone was around and went to ask the nearest person that she thought would be tall enough to help.

“Um excuse me? Could you help me?”

One thing Rachel had been blessed with, in spite of the circumstances of her upbringing, was the gift of the gab. She was definitely overcompensating for having no one talk to but herself for so many years, but she also just really liked making friends with everyone she could. Unsurprisingly, she had spotted Bowie sitting on her own and happened to have a spare cupcake with her from a Buy One Get One Free offer at the bakery. She skipped along, chipper as ever, and plopped herself down opposite Bowie with a cheery grin.

“Hey! You totally seem like a cupcake kinda girl, am I right?” Rachel asked, shaking the cake box lightly.

-

While Bowie was talented in certain fields in her life, but she was not talented in socialising and spotting social cues. She was an anxious and generally quiet person and normally kept to herself. It was something she didn’t mind but did often wish that she would have the guts to branch out and meet people. Almost like fate itself had decided, a wild Rachel appeared next to her.

“Oh, um, hello” she spoke up after jumping slightly at the others arrival. Bowie gave a nod of her head “I like the ones with the rainbow frosting and the popping candy”

Adam would be glad to learn that the café was a happy place for Bowie. It was what he wished for all of his customers. To be in a place that makes them happy and feel safe.”I’m happy as well, I’m glad so many people seem to enjoy this place. It’s my pride and joy after all.” He admitted softly to her. “Well take your time, this isn’t a place where you need to make a reservation after all.”

-

-

She could completely understand his pride and joy for the place, she could see that he obviously pours his heart and soul into the café. “Great products and great service goes a long way.” she smiled. “Thank you...I get flustered and panic if people rush me with things, it gets overwhelming”
