| Bonnie just before her true nature is revealed to the player. |
Bonnie (known as Bunnie while using her killer persona) is the titular main antagonist of the 2022 horror game Bonnie’s Bakery, the main antagonist of its prequel video A Day With Bonnie and the main villainous protagonist of its prequel DLC Hunt.
She is the titular founder and owner of her bakery and lives in a town populated by anthropomorphic animals. Although she appears as a sweet and affable young woman, Bonnie lives a double life as a psychotic serial killer who kidnaps the townspeople, brings them to the basement of her bakery and murders them before baking their remains into her food products to sell to the unknowing residents of the town to keep her business afloat. She later comes under suspicion from the unnamed Protagonist, who is later kidnapped and forced to find a way to escape the bakery.

Personality
Seemingly an innocent and all-loving girl, Bonnie is in truth a psychopathic animal abuser who has no problems with kidnapping and killing others for the sake of her own bakery, which seems to be the only thing she truly cares about. While aggressive to those who try to escape her, she acts kinder to the compliant ones, not attacking them on sight. She also seems to somewhat enjoying killing, humming in her basement as she turns them into ingredients. While usually acting calm, Bonnie can become aggressive after having a bad day of work, going as far as killing all her prisoners.
Despite this, Bonnie originally was kind and sweet when she first opened the bakery. However, her optimism and cheerful demeanor began to diminish once she began to face the risk of closing up after very few customers showed. This, combined with her inability to save an injured rabbit that appeared near the bakery, sent Bonnie over the edge as she then cooked the rabbit in one of her recipes, causing her to seek more meat.
The DLC teaser also seems to show that she has a sadistic personality, at least judging by how gleeful she is when getting into her killer persona “Bunnie”.
Bonnie does seem to have a competitive side, displaying jealousy when people start attending a different bakery during the DLC. Bonnie also does not seem register the people she’s hunting as individuals, and seems to dehumanize them by referring to them as “it”. Bonnie shows no remorse for her victims, particularly when it comes to those supporting her competitors.
That being said, the DLC does show that in the present day, Bonnie does have standards, particularly around children. She states that she does not use any school children for ingredients, and seems genuinely shocked to discover that one of the mouse children outside of the school has gone missing. She also seems to find children adorable. She also seems to show some empathy towards the Town Hall Cat having to deal with her first victim. Bonnie also tends to leave businesses alone, so long as they don’t start selling pastries.

One day, an injured bunny showed up to her, and she took care of them as best as she could, only for the bunny to die. Deciding to cook their remains, Bonnie started having hopes for her dream once more when the smell attracted customers.
