== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Little is known about Bim's childhood,
=== Flight School ===
After passing the entrance exam, Bim was placed in Skyward Flight under the tutorledge of Cobb. His first day of flight school saw him arriving at the class room with Hurl, indicating that they may have known each other prior to the class.{{book ref|sky1|8}} He is roomed with the other male members of his flight, however, the number of male members of Skyward Flight led to Bim having to bed on a cot instead of permanent bed.{{book ref|sky1|11}} After Rig dropped out of Flight School, it is likely that Bim took over his bed.
During Skyward Flight's first lesson, Bim asked Cobb about the tradition of discharging cadets who eject during combat. Cobb denied there was an official rule that would dismiss cadets, and tried to discourage the cadets from listening to similar rumors.{{book ref|sky1|9}} When the lesson was interrupted by a Krell attack, Bim, along with the rest of Skyward Flight, were ordered to take to the sky and line up close to the battle to deceive the Krell into thinking there were more pilots ready to join the conflict.{{book ref|sky1|11}}
After finishing the exercise, Bim attempted to flirt with Spensa by asking about her interest in heroes and stories. He hastily excuses himself after admitting that he didn't know of any of the figures Spensa had listed. Realising that Bim had been trying to flirting with her Spensa attempted to flirt back by comparing him to Odysseus.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
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 ===
As someone who passed the Flight School entrance exam, Bim is highly knowledgeable about piloting and starfighters.{{book ref|sky1|8}} He has trained to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry. He is highly interested in the destructor guns that are affixed to combat starfighters, and is overly eager to train using the weapons.{/{cite}} Compared to his fellow flight members, Bim is not as skill with a light-lance.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Bim is aware of Flight School traditions prior to starting his training as a cadet.{{book ref|sky1|8}}
== Relationships ==
=== Spensa ===
Bim has some level of romantic inclinations towards Spensa, and flirts with her during their time at Flight School.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Bim's unsubtle and awkward attempts to flirt with Spensa makes it likely that he is inexperienced when it comes to romance.{{book ref|sky1|15}} He approved of her strategy to beat Jorgen in the light-lance game, not seeing an issue with her actions.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
Spensa returns some of this attraction, acknowledging to herself that she finds him relatively attractive,{{book ref|sky1|11}}{{book ref|sky1|15}} as well as finding his antics and enthusiasm to be cute.{{book ref|sky1|14}} She is aware, however, that relationships between cadets are strictly prohibited until after graduation.{{book ref|sky1|11}}
=== Cobb ===
Cobb's insistence that Skyward Flight delay their training on starship guns is a frustration for
