Bo Peep is a character in the Toy Story series. She was the tritagonist of Toy Story, a supporting character in Toy Story 2, a minor character in Toy Story 3 and the deuteragonist of Toy Story 4. She is a toy shepherd with a trio of sheep and Woody's love interest. She is voiced by Annie Potts.

Toy Story
Bo Peep is the tritagonist of the first Toy Story movie. She is used by Andy Davis in the beginning. The day later, she grabs Woody to thank him about watching the sheep. The next day, Bo Peep alerts Buzz Lightyear to avoid falling out. That evening when Woody knocks over Buzz, the toys get angry. Bo Peep attempts to stop the angry toys, but Andy makes them freeze. The next day, Bo Peep and the other toys are surprised that Woody and Buzz are taken away by Sid. Woody tricked the toys when attempting to get to Andy's house by imitating Buzz Lightyear. The next day, she and the other toys are being moved to a new home. Bo Peep feels happy why Woody is reunited with Andy again.

Toy Story 2
Bo Peep returns in Toy Story 2, this time she is a minor supporting character. She is seen in the beginning again. She explains that Andy can take him with or without his hat. After that, Bo Peep is surprised that Al takes away Woody for repair in his office. It is unknown if Bo Peep escorted with the other toys. The day after Jessie is rescued, Bo Peep and the other toys are happy Woody is back home.

Toy Story 3
Bo Peep appears briefly in Toy Story 3. She is seen the movie's beginning. She only appears in Andy's childhood. It is revealed that sometime between the second and third films, she was given away. Woody is still heartbroken over losing her.

Toy Story 4
Bo Peep returned in Toy Story 4 with a major role. In the film it is revealed exactly how Bo came to be separated from Andy's Toys about seven years prior to the events of Toy Story 3. Nine years prior to the events of Toy Story 4 and roughly 3 years after Toy Story 2, Bo is involved in the rescue effort to save RC, who was stuck in a flowing storm drain during a thunderstorm one night. While the toys succeed, Bo, her sheep and their lamp are placed in a box and given away to a man who takes the box to his car in the rain. When he runs back to the house for something forgotten, Woody tries to help Bo and her sheep escape and take them back to Andy's room; but she assures him that being taken away is part of being a toy. Bo tries to convince Woody to come with her and although Woody is tempted, hearing Andy calling his name convinces him to stay and part with Bo.

Since leaving the antique store, she chose to live a life of adventure in the outside world. Bo now sports a pink bow in her hair, and wearing the light blue undergarments she was always seen wearing under her dress, along with having suffered a couple of injuries due to the bandages on her upper right arm, left wrist, and her shepherdess crook, where the porcelain snapped. She used to live in an antique store and helped lost toys find new homes there. She still has her shepherdess dress and bonnet, but wears them while inside the antique store and uses her dress as a cape when rescuing the lost toys.

Woody encounters Bo while on a road trip with his new toy owner, Bonnie Anderson, as he is trying to retrieve Forky and gets lost on a playground, and Bo is there with many other lost toys waiting to play with new kids. Though the two are happy to see each other again after so many years, they find that they now have different philosophies on what it means to be a toy.[1] Her new friends include Giggle McDimples, Duke Caboom, and many others, who help aid Woody in retrieving Forky and bringing him home. They get Buzz, Duke Caboom, Ducky, and Bunny to help them, and after they accidentally leave Forky left behind again, Bo gets tired and does not want to go back.

After Woody gives his voice box to Gabby Gabby, Bo, Duke, Ducky and Bunny return to get Woody and Gabby Gabby back to Bonnie. Duke uses his motorcycle skills, and Gabby Gabby winds up with a kid of her own who is lost and reunites with her parents.

Ducky, Bunny, and Duke Caboom say goodbye to Woody as his about to return to Bonnie. But ultimately, Woody decides to stay with Bo, much to her joy. Buzz and the entire gang arrive and meet Bo Peep for the last time. Woody gives his badge on to Jessie. Everyone gives Woody a goodbye hug, as well as Forky. As the other toys leave in the RV, Woody begins his first moments of life with Bo as a lost toy by looking at the carnival view together

Trivia

 * Bo Peep is a reference to the fairy tale The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. This story was also about toys in a child's room coming to life when no one is looking.
 * Originally, Woody's girlfriend in the first Toy Story was supposed to be a Barbie doll instead of Bo Peep, but Mattel refused to license the character to Disney. However, after the success of Toy Story (and boost in sales for Mr. Potato Head and other featured toys), Mattel gave Disney permission to have Barbie dolls in Toy Story 2 and 3.
 * Even though she belongs to Molly, Bo Peep has been considered to be one of Andy's toys - being played with by Andy and even being labeled as "Andy's Toys" on a bonus feature on the 2005 Toy Story 1 and 2DVDs.
 * Bo Peep is a playable character on Toy Story Racer.
 * Bo Peep is the only porcelain doll in Toy Story.
 * She was renamed Betty in the Latin American dub.
 * Many fans were disappointed that she was excluded from the main events of Toy Story 3, despite appearing on a teaser poster. Bo Peep's shrinking role in the series after the first film is explained in The Art of Toy Story 3. Bo Peep was among the main cast of the first film as a voice of female reason and was not Andy's toy, but a porcelain lamp in Molly's bedroom. When traveling with the main characters, Bo could easily "shatter into a million pieces" whilst doing dangerous stunts. Due to being unable to find a believable spot in the story, Bo Peep only appears at the beginning and end of Toy Story 2. Bo Peep was ultimately written out of Toy Story 3, due to the fact Molly and Andy wouldn't want her anymore, and emblematic of the losses the toys have had over time. She also was written out due to the belief that Andy probably wouldn't have anything to say about her when he gives the other toys to Bonnie at the third film's end. A last technical reason, which might be true, Bo Peep was written out of Toy Story 3 was that she would not have been able to survive the incinerator scene due to being made of porcelain and she would easily burn and they didn't want to make the Bo Peep fans sad.
 * There was an actual Bo Peep toy released by Thinkway in 2000 to promote the release of Toy Story 2. However, unlike Bo Peep in the film, the "real" Bo Peep was made of plastic rather than from porcelain.
 * In the infamous Black Friday reel, she actually was the first to accuse Woody of deliberately throwing Buzz out of the window, and also participates in having Woody being thrown off the bed (and later, thanks to Slinky, out of the window). She might have felt terrible for her actions after they found out that Woody was gone. In addition, she sounded slightly different in this version, sporting a Southern Belle accent provided by Kath Soucie.
 * paintings of her were hung mysteriously around her lamp to show how aggressive she really can be sometimes
