Berdly - His House is a Wreck...

Berdly is an 18-year-old Lightner from Hometown. Berdly is the self-proclaimed "Number 1" student in School, a student in Ms. Alphys's class, and Noelle's study partner.

Berdly resembles a large avian with blue feathers, a yellow beak, and yellow legs. In the Light World, he wears black framed glasses, a collared white button-up shirt with striped sleeves, and a black shirt layered underneath.

In the Dark World, Berdly's feathers are a lighter shade of blue, and the whites of his eyes are bright green. He wears a "Smart Scouter" on his head that consists of an orange tinted lens and two white and green pointed headsets. His ensemble consists of an orange cape, futuristic white armor with pointed shoulder guards, bracers and leg armor. He wears a black bodysuit underneath this armor, and has green cloth wrapped around his waist in what migyt be a kilt. In battle, Berdly uses a green laser halberd with a yellow ax blade and yellow eyes embedded into the blade's head.

Berdly is sarcastic, arrogant, projects great self-esteem, and considers himself one of the smartest students of his class. He is shown to be very disdainful of his fellow classmates (especially Susie), but has respect for Noelle, whom he considers the actual smartest student.

After school, Berdly works as a volunteer assistant at the Librarby.

Despite his arrogant and annoying disposition, Berdly is shown to not be as clever as he says he is, as demonstrated by his inability to solve puzzles. He'd never admit it, but he never really thought he was as intelligent as he claimed, and he was only able to get good grades because Noelle helped him with his homework. His insecurities begin to eat him alive to a point where he feels everyone's expectations of him are so high, he can't imagine how it feels if he can't live up to them, or even what happens if he can't get along without Noelle's, or anyone else's, help. Berdly is very unaware of how others perceive him. For instance, he is oblivious to Noelle's contempt and thinks she is in love with him.

Berdly is also a huge video game fanatic and seeks a partner who shares this interest. He does, however, despise mobile video games.

As a child, Berdly was considered forgettable to his peers, and few even bothered to remember his name. His only friend was Noelle Holiday, his classmate and study partner. One day, at the school spelling bee, Noelle and Berdly were the final two contestants standing, as they had studied together the night before in preparation. However, Noelle suddenly became nervous and couldn't speak when spelling the word "December," handing the victory to Berdly. Berdly did not believe he deserved to win, but found he enjoyed the attention and praise he received from his peers, and quickly became addicted to the idea of "being smart." Since then, Berdly always worked to be "Number 1" in his class, worrying that he may not live up to everyone's high expectations. He secretly knew that Noelle was smarter than him, and continued studying with her over the years to maintain his good grades.

Noelle is Berdly's school partner and the only student he doesn't snub, as he views her as his only friend. Regardless, he continues to boast his condescending front and calls her the second smartest student, showing that he still views himself as superior. Berdly rarely takes her actual feelings into consideration, as seen when Noelle asks if Kris can join their project in a group of three, which he immediately objects, firmly stating that Kris would only weigh them down.

Berdly: "Fear not, my beloved Noelle!! This valiant warrior of brave intelligence will be your knight in glow in the dark armor!"
