Okay so haha Berry and Filbo ramblings ahead because of course I am I came up with so much for the two of them in such a short time (it's long ofc so be weary if you read it lol)

Also Bugsnax spoilers so be careful lol

Okay so like. Starting with Berry because yeah. She's an artist who used to draw and paint weekly, creating beautiful pieces of art. It was her way to get away from all the bad that surrounded them, it made them happy and she was able to bring herself joy. However, one day she faced a horrendous art block, making it hard to even draw a few times a month, let alone make any finished pieces. It scared her, the one thing she loved doing and brought her joy was now slipping away from her grasp, she didn't know what to do.

So, she went to snaktooth. She was hoping she could either reignite her artistic spark, or find a new thing that'd bring her enough joy as art used to. Her whole thing is realizing how hard she is on herself and how that is ruining her interests and accepting that, without beating her self up and kind of continuing the cycle.

Her and Filbo kind of help each other actually. They hit it off when they first meet and become quick friends. She didn't really hang out or talk to anyone else, being introverted and all. Sometimes people barely noticed her, which didn't add anything good to her problems. Anyways, her and Filbo both kind of suffer from low self-esteem, but they both care about each other a lot so they always try to build each other up. It took awhile before she began to get feelings for him, which led to her being extra nice and extra kind, which Filbo took as a mix of simple kindness and pity for him.

When everyone began fighting and leaving, Berry didn't really do much besides just. Lock herself up in her house. She never enjoyed arguing, especially with what surrounded her back home. After awhile, all that's left of the camp is her and Filbo, but with her locking herself up in her house it kind of just felt like he was alone. He wanted to cheer her up somehow, so he went out to try to catch some Bugsnax, specifically a Strabby because of her name. He gets exhausted, yadda yadda yadda, meets the journalist and brings them to camp.

It takes awhile to bring her back out of her house, it all starts when you(the Journalist) notice Filbo at the door of one the houses, talking to it. Dialogue goes something like this (Blue is Filbo, Green is Berry)

Everyone's coming back, you really should join us! The Journalist has been catching snacks for everyone too! It's all smiles out here!

Filbo, I appreciate the effort but I really just...don't want to be around people right now. You understand, don't you?

Yeah, but I...I kind of miss you, you know? We all do!

...sure they do. Please leave me alone Filbo.

*sigh* Okay...talk to you later, okay?

If you talk to the door afterwards, Berry will greet you and let you in a bit about her artistic struggles. She'll sheepishly ask for some Bugsnax that she thinks will help with them paint, and then finally open up the door to you when you come back with them. Since you sought her out on your own, it warms her up to the idea of going outside again so she finally does, which makes Filbo super happy.

Not sure if this next part would be a side quest or not, but it's stuff I want to happen really badly sooooo yeah

Beffica ends up asking you to get some dirt on Berry, as she still will sometimes shut herself up in her house and she's convinced that she's hiding something. Upon sneaking in, you find her talking to herself in the mirror

Okay okay, uh...Fiddlepie? More like...cutiepie! No no, that was awful. You know...my favorite color has always been purple, maybe that's why...I like your eyes?? Ugh, that one makes me sound crazy. I'm never going to be able to do this...

(then, she notices you)

Ahh!! Oh grump, what did you hear? Did Beffica send you? (Possibly. [Or] Maybe.) Oh jeez, you're not gonna tell her about this are you? She'll tell everyone about it, including Filbo! Uhh, here, let me tell you this: every night I have to sleep with a teddy bear, or else I can't sleep. That's embarrassing enough for her, right? Please please PLEASE don't tell her what you actually saw.

After that, you simply tell Beffica about the teddy bear thing and Berry gets to keep her secret. Sometime later though, you end up accidentally eavesdrop on a late night conversation with Filbo and Berry.

So you said you needed to talk to me? Is everything okay Berry?

Yeah yeah, I just...you're so- Purple is- Ugh, why is this so difficult?!

Oh uh, take your time, there's so rush!

I just- you're a pie! Aaagh, no!! I hate my grumping mouth...

Uhh...do youuu like, want to this a different time? It's no trouble, I'm not too busy these days!

No no, I can do it! I...ugh, I l-love you. I have for a while now.

Wha-huh?! Y-you-?!

I-It's okay if you don't like me back!! I just wanted to get it off my chest, that's all!!

Oh jeez I...I need to think about this. I'll talk to you later!

After that, Filbo runs off, leaving Berry to think she screwed up and that now he hates her. Meanwhile, Filbo is freaking out that someone likes him enough to love him. When you go check up on him, he kind of starts rambling about how surprising it all is to him. Then he realizes the implications of him immediately running off after she confessed, which makes him worry that she now hates him too. He feels like he has to do something to make it up for her, and decides to try his hand at art.

It's...okay(I mean she loves it no matter what), and he manages to track her down one day and give it too her, apologizing and saying that he likes her too. They share an awkward moment and do an awkward hug, not ready for kissing yet. She giggles through most of it

Then they're just. Usually together after that. Walking together or hanging out together. Mostly everyone thinks they're cute, tho they do wonder what exactly she sees in him to love him so much.

She does have a chance at "dying" in the bad ending (yeah there's a bad ending to Bugsnax it's freaking hilarious djskan), saying something along the lines of that she was worthless after all, and at least this way she could have some meaning and "become art." You can imagine Filbo's sadness when she doesn't come to the air craft and they leave without her. On the beach with everyone else however, she recognized that she was essentially ruining her own hobbies and she said she was going to try to face her issues and leave, not distract herself and stay in a toxic environment.

For the credits, she's got a picture of herself painting again, smiling happily. You can notice that a bunch of pictures are hung up on the walls around her too, singling she's been able to draw a lot again

And that's it lol
