Teddy is normally the fourth and last character to join [[Ninten]]'s party, although he can be the third character to join Ninten if [[the player]] gets to him before reaching [[Ana]]. It should be noted that it is not a necessity to have Teddy join Ninten's party in order to finish the game.

Teddy weighs 78 kg and is 188 cm tall.<ref>[[:File:SomeTeddyInfo.jpg|Excerpt from Teddy's Encyclopedia Mother Entry]]</ref> He has black hair in the shape of a mohawk, with visible sideburns below his ears; although his hair appears to be colored red in his battle sprite. He appears to have muscular arms and a muscular torso, and a prominently pointed chin. He wears a pair of red eyeglasses, a red sleeveless shirt, a pair of yellow trousers supported by a black belt, and a pair of red, white-bordered shoes with white laces; his trousers do however appear slightly more brown in his battle sprite. Additionally, he appears to have three black dots marked on his left arm in his battle sprite, possibly resembling tattoos.

Teddy is the only main character in {{vg|Mother}} who does not share any notable physical features with the main characters of [[EarthBound|the game's sequel]]. The only major similarity he shares with the fourth possible party member in EarthBound is that both he and [[Poo]] wield [[blade|swords]].

Teddy was named after the car repair factory of his parents, which went under the name "TEDDY". Already at the age of three did Teddy display more adult-like properties, where he also used to carry around a package of chocolate cigarettes. He started to enjoy fighting at the age of five, and at the age of ten he surpassed 170 cm in height and switched his chocolate cigarettes to real ones. He was eleven years old during the first time he arrived home in a patrol car, and when he was twelve years old, lied and said that he was twice his actual age to take up a graveyard shift at the [[Live House]]. He used his wages to purchase a Siamese cat to his parents as a present at the age of thirteen, and became the leader of the [[Bla-Bla Gang]] when he was fourteen.<ref name=kenisu/>

During the events of {{vg|Mother}}, Teddy first meets [[Ninten]] in the [[Live House]] after the party's musical performance, where he challenges him to a fight, accusing Ninten of beating up some of his [[B.B. Gang|gang members]]. After a few turns, Teddy stops fighting and deems Ninten a strong person, asking him to travel with him for a while. He wants to go to [[Mt. Itoi]] to avenge his parents that were killed there, and takes [[Ninten]] and [[Ana]] up the mountain, taking [[Lloyd]]'s place.

While going up Mt. Itoi, the trio rest at a cabin on the mountain plateau. However, during their stay, they are attacked by [[R7038|a massive robot]]. Teddy got severe injuries after the ambush, while Ninten and Ana make it out safely, due to a lucky save by Lloyd and his borrowed tank. He is left to recover at a healer's house near Mt. Itoi's base for the rest of the game.

After the game's events, Teddy is shown to have recovered from his injuries, and is confirmed to be daily singing at the [[Live House]]. In the original Japanese version of {{vg|Mother}}, however, the extended ending is omitted, which left his fate ambiguous. However, [[Mother 1+2]], released in Japan, added the ending sequence that was added to the English prototype.

Teddy is battled under the name '''B.B.'s Boss''' in the [[Live House]] after the party's performance, where he first compliments them on their song, and then asks them if they were the ones who had injured his fellow gang members. Despite what [[the player]] chooses to answer, Teddy will still believe that they were the ones who did it, and fight them. The battle will however only last for three turns, as he gets impressed by [[Ninten]]'s ability to fight, calling the match a draw. He explains how he seeks vengeance for his dead parents and that he wants them to assist him, and does subsequently join Ninten's party, where he takes [[Lloyd]]'s place, doubting in his ability to fight.

Teddy's enemy sprite shows him holding a knife in the Japanese [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] version of {{vg|Mother}}, though it was removed in the English prototype and [[Mother 1+2]] port.
