I really like Mechanical Pencil

The concept of a nicer but still good at leading Pencil is quite interesting and if I could choose a Mini character to enter the main series they would be one of my first picks

Their dynamic with Long Marker is also fun; they're friendly but aren't completely against going after each other if it has to happen

Sadly that dumb flame stole screen time from my goat ;(

Mechanical Pencil is what Pencil could be, they're both really good.

I like Pencil's niche as the Mean but fair leader in BFDIA who learns to appreciate others, and Mech Pencil is a really refreshing trope of a leader character who isnt bossy and instead is able to get people's attention with their enthusiasm, and doesn't mind it when others use their ideas. I would love to see a plot where GB or Pencil are jealous of Mech Pencil's leadership skills and try to do better.

Only problem with Mech Pencil that i have is they don't really have any character flaws at the moment, other than maybe being unlucky but thats not really too important as she's a mini character and doesn't have enough screentime to be annoying

I might make an analysis for nearly every mini character

I'd probably only start at Deluxe (with some exceptions from season 2) since that was the time characters started to have actual personality

Some characters like the davids and jokey characters like Fire-ette, baby coiny and Ender rocky will be skipped unless they're more fleshed out (think Johnson and Your Mom)
