Boyfriend is the protagonist of Friday Night Funkin'. He is a young rapper who is trying to date Girlfriend, but her parents, Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest, are trying to kill him. To gain their approval, he must sing off against them and many other characters in his way during various weeks. Boyfriend is a young man with light skin and spiky cyan hair. He wears a backward pink-red cap with a blue brim, a magenta-white short-sleeved T-shirt with a red prohibition sign, baggy blue pants and pink-red sneakers with magenta-white shoelaces and soles, as well as small holes on the quarters and the letters "NG" engraved on the outsoles. He holds a bluish-gray microphone in his right hand while keeping his left hand in his pocket. In his idle animation, he wears a confident grin and bops his head. He is drawn in a chibi style. Boyfriend is portrayed as a young, overzealous rapper with a love for music, donuts and his girlfriend. He loves to sing and show off his skills, resulting in his confident and cocky character. He is very determined and persistent about reaching his goals and won't let anyone get in the way of his success, even when threatened with death. Boyfriend is implied to be clingy, as he is never seen without Girlfriend by his side. He is also very unintelligent, either not realizing when he is in danger or being overconfident about his ability to get out of it. As a result, he is afraid of virtually nothing. This is demonstrated during both Monster and Winter Horrorland, where he does not appear to be afraid despite Monster's constant threats to him and Girlfriend. Boyfriend also seems to get bored of scary games, as he once almost fell asleep while playing one. Despite this apparent lack of intelligence, he has street smarts, as he knows how to heal people. Boyfriend has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism. When communicating with others, he will simply beep or vocalize in musical tones instead of talking, giving the impression that he is rather eccentric, although he may be able to use verbal communication in some cases (such as when singing). He is also a creative individual, which is demonstrated by his talents as a musician and freestyle rapper. Furthermore, he is never found without his red cap. Boyfriend has low levels of empathy, but he has good intuition. He may live in a messy place, as he does not wash his dirty clothes and continuously moves a pile of them around his room depending on his needs, which also suggests that he has executive dysfunction. His object permanence is also not very good at times. He has a poor concept of time, too, which is a common ADHD trait. He doesn't know very well how to handle money, either, as when he has to pay for a hamburger, he will pay less than what the hamburger costs. Boyfriend has been described as being an "asshole." He also seems quite willing to do immoral things: from tricking iPad children on YouTube for money and cigarettes, getting as much free food as possible from McDonald's while holding the store hostage, hogging up drive-throughs and vandalizing PlayPlaces, Boyfriend does not appear to care if the things he does are wrong as long as he can get what he wants. In addition, he appears to be somewhat destructive and influenced by anger, as whenever his phones fail to work properly, his first instinct is to destroy them in bizarre and extreme ways.
