 |[[Information Card]]
}}

{{TN|Bubble}} is one of the {{ToonAmount}} playable [[Toons]] in [[Dandy's World]]. She was introduced on June 14, 2024, and can be selected for free as the player's starting Toon or purchased in [[Dandy's Store]] for 250 [[Ichor]] if {{CI|Boxten|name=true}} is chosen instead.

== Appearance ==
Pоppy is an anthropomorphic light cyan bubble who has a smaller bubble on the lower back of her head that resembles a bun. She has lighter highlights reflected on the front of her face, back of her smaller bubble, and on her hands. She sports an oversized, pink bow with a yellow middle piece and wears a pink dress of the same color as her bow that consists of a simple sleeveless bodice and a circular skirt. She also wears pink and yellow striped socks that completely cover up her legs. Her body is outlined in blue, specifically arctic blue.

== Personality ==
Poppy is a bubbly and extroverted [[Toon]]. She is often loud at times, such as in her interactions with {{CI|Boxten|name=true}} and {{CI|Goob|name=true}}. She seems to like fashion or looking good, shown by her interactions with {{CI|Scraps|name=true}}, {{CI|Rodger|name=true}}, {{CI|Pebble|name=true}}, and {{CI|Flutter|name=true}}. She is also likely good friends with {{CI|Gigi|name=true}} and {{CI|Looey|name=true}}. She is overall outgoing, enthusiastic, and social. Additionally, it's heavily implied that she is addicted to Pop to the point of harm, based on her interaction with {{CI|Astro|name=true}} and the fact there are multiple vending machines with an image of Poppy holding a can of it. There are also {{II|Bottle O' Pop|name=true}} and a {{II|Pop}}Pop in her room, as seen in [[Roleplay Mode]].

== Mastery == 
* Finish 30 [[Machines]]!
* Activate This [[Toon]]'s Passive Ability 30 times!
* Pick Up 30 [[Items]]!
* Survive 25 [[Floors]]!
* Use 30 Items!
* Travel 50000 Meters!

Reward: {{Vintage}} [[skin]]

=== Mastery Strategies ===

* For the '''1st mastery quest''', go in a solo run and equip Extraction Speed [[Trinkets]] such as {{TI|Vee's Remote|name=true}} or {{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}} and try completing as many [[Machines]] as you can.
* For the '''2nd mastery quest''', you can start multiple solo runs and get repeatedly hit by [[Twisteds]] until you die, and then repeat.
** If possible, you can also try to ask a Healer toon to join you (in a duo run) so they can help you survive at least 1 more hit before you eventually die, which can save you some time for doing the quest. {{CI|Cosmo|name=true}} is the most recommended Toon for this due to his short cooldown ability, as well as he will be able to immediately heal you right from the start, though  {{CI|Sprout|name=true}} (with {{TI|Fancy Purse|name=true}} equipped) or {{CI|Ginger|name=true}} also work. Doing this can help aid both you and the Healer toon themselves if they are stuck on their mastery quest to use their active abilities.
** However, it's recommended that this should only be focused on when you have already completed all the other quests of Poppy, since you'll eventually progress on this one while working on the other ones anyways.
** Take note that equipping {{TI|Savory Charm|name=true}}, though also helps you survive more hits, will '''not''' contribute towards this mastery quest progress.
* For the '''3rd and 5th mastery quest''', just go on multiple runs and collect as many [[Items]] as you can.
* For the '''4th mastery quest''', you can go on multiple runs and try to reach the furthest you can.
* For the '''6th mastery quest''', equip Movement Speed Trinkets such as {{TI|Dog Plush|name=true}} or {{TI|Pink Bow|name=true}} and walk around the floor as much as possible.

== Strategies ==
Poppy is a balanced beginner character with the [[Ability]] to boost her speed, allowing her to outrun [[Twisteds]] upon losing a Heart. As an All-Around [[Toon]], she does not specialize as a Distractor or Extractor, but leans towards being a Survivalist due to her unique Ability. For optimal performance, it is recommended to equip her with Extraction-based [[Trinkets]] such as {{TI|Wrench|name=true}} and speed-enhancing Trinkets like {{TI|Pink Bow|name=true}}. The aformentioned combination effectively improves her Movement Speed and extraction capabilities while remaining easily accessible early-game, making it ideal for new players. Other good, easy-to-access Trinkets for new players are [[Speedy Shoes]] and [[Party Popper]].

Poppy is an excellent choice for beginners who are unfamiliar with the game. Her ability provides better recovery from mistakes, making her ideal for learning the basics. However, this same Ability is less advantageous for experienced players since it requires losing a Heart to activate, which limits its overall viability and contributions. It is most effective for experienced players when dealing with large swarms of Twisteds, and is more useful if multiple healers are present.

Her balanced [[Stats]] offer new players a chance to get accustomed to the gameplay without the challenges posed by low Stealth or Movement Speed. That said, Poppy lacks the significant advantages needed to appeal to seasoned players.
If you are confident in your kiting abilities and tend to adapt quickly to new games, consider selecting {{CI|Boxten|name=true}} as your starter instead. For those who enjoy playing as Poppy, transitioning to {{CI|Looey|name=true}} could be a suitable next step to enhance your experience.

If a teammate cannot escape a Twisted— whether because they are playing as a slower Toon, being chased by a fast Twisted like {{CI|Twisted Pebble|name=true}}, or are low on Stamina— it may be a viable strategy to intervene by taking a hit from the chasing Twisted. This is especially effective if your ability is active and you have {{TI|Blushy Bat|name=true}} equipped. By doing so, you can provide both yourself and your teammate an opportunity to escape, even if you’ve expended significant Stamina to reach them. If multiple Twisteds are pursuing the same target, your intervention will cause them to switch their focus to you, which is beneficial because you have activated your speed boost and increased the chances of survival. While this strategy may not be as efficient as using an Airhorn or good positioning— since it sacrifices a {{Heart}} to ensure their escape— it is worthwhile in situations where low-health {{Type|Main}} Toons like {{CI|Shelly|name=true}} or {{CI|Sprout|name=true}} are in clear danger. Their Abilities can be invaluable to the team, with Sprout even being able to heal you afterward, mitigating the cost of the sacrifice. '''Do not attempt''' this strategy if you aren't yet used to the game, as there are many intricacies that may turn this into sabotage rather than a rescue and inexperience may prevent you from saving anyone at all. Instead, wait and learn- surviving is enough in the beginning.

If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot reach the [[Elevator]] in time during [[Panic Mode]], it is advisable to walk in order to conserve or regenerate Stamina before intentionally taking a hit (good knowledge is required on Stamina regeneration and navigation, so just skip to getting hit if you're not sure). Afterward, you can sprint to the elevator. Failing to reach the elevator in time results in an instant death, whereas losing one or two Hearts to Twisteds provides an opportunity for survival.

===Trinket Combinations===
{{Preference}}For specific [[Trinket]] recommendations, here are some possible combinations:

==== Extraction ====
* '''{{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}}/{{TI|Participation Award|name=true}}'''
** This set speeds up machine completion by maximizing Skill Check extraction.

==== Survival ====
*'''{{TI|Pink Bow|name=true}}/Options'''
**This trinket helps Poppy to outrun all Twisteds before Panic Mode <small>(26.9 run speed)</small>. Here are some options to pair Pink Bow with: '''{{TI|Speedy Shoes|name=true}}''', to further improve run speed <small>(28.2 run speed)</small>; '''{{TI|Vanity Mirror|name=true}}''', to outrun every twisted during Panic Mode <small>(35 run speed)</small>; '''{{TI|Magnifying Glass|name=true}}''', '''{{TI|Vee's Remote|name=true}}''' or '''{{TI|Wrench|name=true}}''', to help with floor progression; etc.

==== Other ====
* '''{{TI|Blushy Bat|name=true}}/Any'''
** Blushy Bat synergizes incredibly well with Poppy's passive and due to its accessibility, this Trinket is a must have for newer players for giving them a generous amount of time to gain distance from Twisteds after a hit.

== Trivia ==
* At the end of the "Meet Poppy" teaser video, you can hear "KEEP YOUR ALLIES CLOSE" in morse code.
** This is also one of the texts that can appear when you start a new run <small>(at the bottom of the elevator screen)</small>.
* Poppy appears to be a marketing mascot for a soft drink company, as she is printed on every vending machine in all of the maps. The company is also trademarked as "'''Poppy Pop'''".
* Poppy has two [[UGC Items]], those being {{II|Poppy's Bow}} [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/123232839320052/Poppys-Bow Poppy's Bow], and {{II|Poppy's Head}} [https://www.roblox.com/catalog/84522490047255/Poppys-Head Poppy's Head].
* Her name, Poppy, is a pun on both the feminine name Poppy and her status as a bubble, which not only pops easily when touched but also produces a popping sound.
* Poppy's favorite tea is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_tea Bubble tea], as shown in her interaction with {{CI|Teagan|name=true}}.
* Poppy is designation ''C-001'', with the '''C''' standing most likely for {{Type|Common}}.
* Poppy doesn't know how to drive, as confirmed in her interaction with {{CI|Vee|name=true}}.
* Poppy likes Pop, as seen in her room in the [[Roleplay Mode]].
* A small doodle of her and Toodles can also be found pinned on her vanity mirror in her room over on Roleplay Mode. This could possibly hint at a close relationship between the two.
* Though Poppy and {{CI|Boxten|name=true}} seem to be good friends, [[Qwel]] has said they have no confirmed relations.
* Poppy is one of the [[Toons]] that has an official [[merchandise]] plush as of now, with the others being {{CI|Astro|name=true}}, {{CI|Dandy|name=true}}, {{CI|Pebble|name=true}}, {{CI|Boxten|name=true}}, {{CI|Sprout|name=true}}, {{CI|Shelly|name=true}}, and {{CI|Vee|name=true}}.
* Poppy, {{CI|Boxten|name=true}}, {{CI|Rudie|name=true}}, and {{CI|Eggson|name=true}} share the same stats <small>(3 {{Star}} for all sections)</small>
**{{CI|Razzle & Dazzle|name=true}} technically don't count as they switch between Movement Speed and Extraction Speed sections on their stats on odd-numbered and even-numbered [[floors]]. (5<small> Stars for Movement Speed and 1 Star for Extraction Speed on odd-numbered floors, and 1 Star for Movement Speed and 5 Stars for Extraction Speed on even-numbered floors.)</small>
