Blue is one of the main protagonists of the Animator vs. Animation franchise, being one of the five members of the Stick Gang.

He is one of the Fighting Stick Figures, alongside Red, Green and Yellow, who first appeared in Animator vs. Animation 4, where they met an orange stick figure known as The Second Coming who taught them how to escape their website out into the rest of the internet.

Shown to be naive and peaceful, he prefers to resolve fights instead of joining them and is usually the last one to resort to violence. He has a variety of skills such as farming, cooking, archery and alchemy in Minecraft, being referred to as the "hippie" of the group because of these traits. One of his most defining traits is his serious addiction to nether warts and will go to extreme lengths to obtain them, even at the risk of his own safety.

Appearance

Blue is a cyan natural stick figure of average height. His official hex code is #33CCFF as stated by Alan Becker in a Discord message.

Personality

Blue is shown to be a pacifist, and is described by Alan as a "hippie," probably due to Blue's love of plants and hatred of violence. That said, he is not afraid to fight whenever he or his friends are in trouble. Oftentimes, he is the one to try and diffuse a situation before it gets out of hand. He is a natural leader, showing the Villagers how to defend themselves against a Raid, and is eager to help others, even at the cost of his own safety. However, he is also a nether wart addict that is willing to go to extreme lengths to obtain his supply. Blue has a deep love for his friends, and a genuine compassion for almost everyone he meets.

Relationships

Yellow

Of all the members of the Stick Gang, Blue is closest to Yellow, and the two of them are often seen spending time or going on adventures together. The biggest adventures involving just the two of them were when they rescued a village from the Titan Ravagers (Titan Ravager - AVM Shorts Episode 23) and when they returned to said village to fend off a raid (The Raid - AVM Shorts Episode 28).

Even when they are not fending off baddies, they enjoy each other's company and could be considered best friends. They are shown playing chess together in Ragdoll, building a snow golem in Ricochet, bouncing on slime blocks in Slime Trampoline, practicing archery in Gunslinger, and Blue was used like a horse for Yellow in Carrot on a Stick. Blue has also shown to be quite protective of Yellow, shooting Yellow's Ghast when he mistook tickling for attacking, and Yellow feels the same way about Blue, avenging him when Green shot him with a crossbow in Gunslinger.

The Second Coming

Blue is shown to be good friends with The Second Coming, and the two of them have similar personalities, being the more passive and protective compared to their peers. Despite this, they don't spend a whole lot on time together, just the two of them, but they have spent time with other members, like when they bounced with Yellow in Slime Trampoline. Some interactions they have had include discovering a Minecraft-photoshop tree hybrid in Plantenstein, Blue geting a :P face drawn on him by The Second Coming in Faces, and practicing their sword-fighting with each other in Turtle Eggs. The Second Coming has also had several dreams involving Blue, involving Blue turning money into trees and cleaning up trash, but also dreamed of him and Green using the orange stick's ringed head as a basketball hoop in Basketball. Blue is also protective of him when The Chosen One is forcefully attempting to awaken his powers.

Red

Blue and Red are shown to be very good friends, and often spend time together, but they do not have a lot of one-on-one time together. They have quite opposite personalities, with Blue being the most pacifistic of the group and Red being the most aggressive. Nonetheless, they are both very protective of their friends, and of each other. The best example of this is in the episode Potions, when Red, finding Blue wasted from drinking so many potions, ran to him and woke him up to make sure he was okay. Some of their other memorable moments together is when the two of them discovered Note Blocks in Note Blocks when Blue was tasked with making a chicken statue for Red, and when Blue used his alchemy knowledge to brew himself and Red potions of invisibility to sneak up on The Second Coming in PvP.

Green

Blue and Green are also shown to be very good friends, and they enjoy hanging out together. Their biggest adventure together was when the two of them ventured into the Nether for the first time in The Nether. This led to them meeting Purple, going to the End to fight the Ender Dragon, and the rest of the first season of Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts. Blue seems to live in Green's shadow when it comes to building, as shown in Build Battle, when the jack-of-all-trades Green seems to best Blue at every turn, until Green accidentally makes a Wither. Green has been shown to not be a fan of Blue's Netherwart addiction, as he declined when Blue offered him some in Command Blocks and, while Blue was enjoying his snack, Green smacked it out of his hand in Fireworks. Despite their differences, they still have a tight bond with each other.

Purple

Blue and Purple's relationship has evolved greatly over the course of the Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts. When the two sticks first met, Purple was the king of a village on a Mac and Blue, along with Green, were given to him as an offering of sorts. Blue was excited to meet another stick figure, and seeing the quartz in his hand, he and Green gave quartz to the villagers. Purple, however, would not take kindly to this and would throw them in jail.

Blue and Green would bribe themselves out with blocks of gold and would turn this into a trade-fest where the sticks would resemble wavy inflatable tube men in front of car shops for a little while. Purple would learn of their escape and plotted to deal with them himself, drawing his sword to slay them, but before he could, the villagers created a huge monument dedicated to Purple--a statue of him in his castle. Purple's anger faded and he instead gave Blue and Green crowns, showed them a secret room in his castle leading to a Stronghold and placed the last Eye of Ender into the portal. Purple leapt into it, and Green and Blue would follow.

Upon reaching the end, Green and Blue would try to defeat the Ender Dragon, leading it away from the main island, with Purple along for the ride, grabbing onto Blue as he hooked onto the dragon with a fishing rod. The two of them slammed into the mast of an End ship, where Purple, investigating the ship, found a pair of elytra. When Green brought the dragon back around, Blue used a fishing rod to tie it to the mast. Purple, however, eyed the dragon's egg, and using his new elytra, flew out to get it.

The dragon would see Purple going for her unborn offspring and would try to stop him but was still held down by Blue's fishing rod. She breathed on the ship, disintegrating it, and leaving Blue and Green stranded, with only 10 seconds of levitation (thanks to a shulker's projectile) before dropping into the void. They cried out to Purple, who weighed his options before going for the egg, abandoning Green and Blue. With time almost up, they threw their crowns away and hugged each other, bracing for their demise, but got rescued by Red, The Second Coming, Yellow, and the Villagers making a human chain.

They returned to the Mac to confront Purple for his betrayal, but before they could, the villagers overthrew him for causing the dragon to wreak havoc upon their village.

There would be little interaction between Blue and Purple after their adventure together in Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Season 1. They briefly met while playing a game of League of Legends in Animation vs. League of Legends and met once more in Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Season 3, where Purple betrayed him and the rest of the other stick figures during a game of Parkour. However, Purple was forgiven and embraced by the whole gang after Purple's redemption at the tail end of The King before the two parties separated, Blue with his friends back to ALANSPC and Purple with King Orange as a new family.

Powers & Abilities

• Expert Chef: Blue is shown to have a love for cooking, as he is always making meals for all their friends, which are received with great gusto (except for when he tries to put Nether Warts in them).

• Expert Farmer: Blue is shown to have expansive knowledge of farming from Animation vs. Minecraft onwards. This skill has come into good use on their adventures and is the initial reason for Blue's discovery and addiction to Nether Warts.

• Expert Alchemist: Blue is shown to have amazing skills with potion making. He made the first discovery of potions, and was very quick to learn the functions of the brewing stand. Blue also is shown to incorporate potions into their fighting style, best seen during the fight against the Witch, where Blue is shown to have been on par with them, up until his eventual exhaustion of potions.

• Expert Bassist: Blue is shown to be extremely good in playing bass. This was seen in Note Block Battle or any other musical Animation vs. Minecraft videos.

• Expert Fighter: Blue is shown to be an extremely adept fighter, as with the rest of the other Fighting Stick Figures, being able to take on multiple enemies. His most common weapon is a Bow and Arrow, but he is also shown to be able to use dispensers in a manner similar to that of a minigun, and in The Raid he uses a Crossbow with Fireworks as ammo. He, much like his friends, is also quite skilled with a sword, capable of singlehandedly killing several Zombified Piglins and Zoglins in The Piglin War as well as being the last stick standing when he and his friends fought the Butcher in The Chef.

  • Expert Archer: Blue is shown to have very proficient skills in archery, best seen in Cave Spider Roller Coaster, where he is shown to have been able to hit multiple targets in rapid succession whilst engaging in high-activity movement.

• Expert Grapple Hooker: While not his typical tool of choice, Blue can use a fishing rod to climb or attach to big objects, just like Green and Yellow, especially shown in Cave Spider Roller Coaster.

Trivia

• Blue was the first of the Fighting Stick Figures to ever appear on-screen in Animator vs. Animation 4.

  • Blue is the first ever natural stick figure to be introduced.

• Alan described Blue as cautious, free-spirited, and hesitant to get into fights. This doesn't account for when he spars with Yellow, Green, Red, and The Second Coming, or the time he killed a Ghast due to believing it was attacking Yellow when it was actually tickling him. He is also described to be a little bit of a hippie.

• Blue seems to be the one who always cries when he believes one of his friends dies, as when The Second Coming thought to have accidentally killed Green in PvP. However, he was also spooked enough by Green's apparent "resurrection", that he and The Second Coming immediately attacked him out of fear, only to immediately realize they killed him twice.

• According to Alan himself, Blue has a serious addiction to Nether Warts, claiming it was a "problem for him". When Green was asked by one of his fans what he and the others think about Blue's addiction, he claimed that they've "mostly come to terms with it".

• Blue can breakdance, as shown in Power Outage.

• He is confirmed to be around 10-13 years old, along with the other four stickmen, in the AvG reaction to Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts Season 3 - In Real Time.

• Blue is the first stick figure to be named after the color he is.

• In the Animation vs. Minecraft series, Blue is shown using a bow and arrow more than using a sword, similarly to Primal, as he is the only mercenary to not use high tech weapons.
