Bo Peep

Bo Peep is a porcelain figurine based on the nursery rhyme character Little Bo Peep. She is also Woody's girlfriend. In private, she is a great deal more daring with her words and actions, which Woody seems to be quite fond of. The sassy shepherdess shows a great deal of concern for Woody as well as all the other toys.

Toy Story
In Toy Story, when Woody accidentally knocks Buzz Lightyear out the window, she does not turn against him like many of the other toys do, although when Woody exposes Buzz's severed arm, she begins to doubt him. She eventually helps the toys realize that "Woody was telling the truth," making the other toys realize what they have done to their leader. At the end of the movie her and Woody start a relationship that appears to still be going strong in Toy Story 2.

Toy Story 2
In Toy Story 2, she is shown feeling devastated after Woody is stolen by Al McWhiggin of Al's Toy Barn. When Buzz plans to rescue Woody, Bo gives Buzz a kiss intended for Woody when Buzz finds him. After Buzz and his rescue squad of toys leave Andy's house to bring Woody back, Bo assumes the responsibility of maintaining order in Andy's room, while waiting for Woody and the others to arrive back home. When the toys finally come back, she is more than happy that Woody is home. It is shown that she likes what Andy has done to his arm and the couple join Buzz and Jessie as Wheezy sings his own version of "You've Got a Friend in Me" in a deep voice.

Toy Story 3
Bo Peep only appears briefly in the home videos Ms. Davis makes of Andy. Later on, Rex comment that she and other toys were either given away, sold in garage sales or thrown away. Woody reacts sadly when her name is mentioned. But she does make a full appearance in the Toy Story 3 video game along with Wheezy.
