History
| From the LISA Wiki

Buddy is first seen as a baby when discovered by Brad, and as she gets older she has long hair, a pink poncho, and occasionally a mask when going outside with Brad. Throughout the course of the game her appearance changes bit by bit; over time her poncho becomes ripped, her hair is up in a ponytail, and she's suffered a huge scratch across her face. Several masks are available to Buddy as cosmetic choices as they become obtained, a Red Skull Mask, a mask in the shape of Terry Hintz's face and a Joy Mask.

She is wildly curious, and as time goes on expresses that she wants to make her own decisions, whether anyone likes it or not. Typical of any child her age, Buddy is prone to mood swings, impetuous, and stubborn. She has a playful and inquisitive nature. She is at first well intentioned, if only because of her lack of understanding of the situation she has been forced into (due to not understanding how exactly children are conceived or what will happen to her to faccilitate this), though this is turned on its head by the time she shoulders the title of player character, where her primary motivation is revenge. Buddy also has a very inflated ego, in part fueled by her position as "saviour". Her sense of entitlement is best shown when telling her brother that his only options with regards to her are to see her to victory, or to stand by but never oppose her, and the rage she feels when he understandably leaves her, unable to continue with what he deems senseless killing.

Despite these things, the story often compares her to Brad, and the twos' actions and journeys directly parallel one another. They are both at heart kind and good people in extremely unfavourable circumstances, their perceptions and motivations clouded by trauma and an unwillingness to connect with others. She eventually comes to realize that Brad truly did care for her and vice versa, a revelation which shakes and confuses her goals. Whether she attempts to move past the guilt of her wrongdoings and past or wallows in her own sorrow is the player's choice, and one that directly correlates to the ending they are awarded; Buddy's other choices also affect the epilogue subsequent to said ending.

As you progress through the game her opinion of Brad also becomes very negative, primarily due to his violent actions and her understanding of the situation behind them. She most likely begins to foster this negativity towards Brad due to being impressionable, young, as well as having been isolated for all of her life by Brad. Sticky even says "All that isolation did her some good". She is told by everyone around her that she is the most important thing alive, and Brad seems to ignore that for the better or worse. Buddy is also told about Brad's addiction to Joy, and whether you choose to keep taking joy or not does not seem to affect the outcome when it comes to Buddy's view of Brad
