'''Bim''' is a cadet at the [[DDF]] [[Flight School]] on Detritus. His callsign is unknown, as he was killed in combat prior to deciding. Prior to his death, he was Skyward 8 in [[Skyward Flight]].
== Appearance and Personality ==
Bim is a short boy with dark blue hair, and his ethnicity is [[Yeongian]].{{book ref|Skyward|8}} [[Spensa]] describes him as "actually cute", and is surprised that he is romantically interested in her.{{book ref|Skyward|15}} He is also said to have an "enthusiastic, genuine way about him." {{book ref|Skyward|13}}
Biv shows an intense interest in learning weaponry, "perking up" when it is mentioned, and becomes both angry and disappointed when he learns that the other flights have been dogfighting while he have been practicing fundamentals.{{book ref|Skyward|14}}{{book ref|Skyward|15}}
== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Little is known about Bim's childhood specifically. Given that his clan maintained a large set of underground farms,{{book ref|Skyward|8}} it can be assumed that his adolescent life revolved around farming in some way.
===Flight School===
Bim passed the acceptance test and was granted admission into flight school. He flew the ship Skyward Eight in [[Skyward Flight]] and participated in the first two non-holographic aerial battles that Skyward Flight engaged in. During his time, he asked some few questions regarding the status of a cadet who ejects, but spent the majority of his time eagerly asking about weapons. He seems to believe that practicing the fundamentals of flight is largely irrelevant, wondering why the need to practice landing instead of just turning off the simulator{{book ref|Skyward|13}} and becoming sullen when the team practices with light-lances as opposed to dogfighting. {{book ref|Skyward|15}} He also shows a romantic interest in Spensa at this time. During the second real combat situation Skyward Flight engaged in, Bim maintained that he could take down the [[lifebuster]] brought by the [[Krell]], but was brought down by the Krell escort ships prior to neutralizing the lifebuster.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
=== Flight Training ===
Bim was trained in aerial maneuvers and weaponry by [[Cobb]], who has been known to effectively prepare cadets for battle.{{book ref|Skyward|8}}{{book ref|Skyward|46}} His interest in weaponry may have led to a lack of maneuvering skill.
