Ben Pincus

Personality:   Ben is 14 years old, Species: Human Gender: Male At first, Ben is a guest sensitive and bookish boy who is not much for the outdoors. Timid, anxious, and easily startled, he suffers from a wide variety of fears (both rational and irrational) and much prefers a quieter pace. That said, he is also a kind and empathetic boy, bonding with a newly hatched Ankylosaurus whom he named Bumpy and quickly becoming very fond of her. Despite his many fears and the terrors of the island, Ben grew braver and more assertive to the point where he actually stood his ground and argued with his fellow campers about Bumpy tagging along and culminated in his heroic act of getting to the driver's cab of the monorail to correct their course despite being clearly terrified during the whole experience and risking certain death to do so. Ben is also very health conscious as he eschews regular confectionery in favor of health food and has shown disdain for caffeine. He also exhibits germaphobia and (prior to meeting Bumpy) zoophobia. However, ever since his fall and abandonment by his friends, Ben has learned to adjust to the wild and toughened because of this. At first, he had trouble surviving due to his several phobias preventing him from actually accomplishing anything, along with his growing impatience of Bumpy’s daily routine of stealing Ben’s bed and preventing him from sleeping. He finally broke down after realizing he was on his own, causing him to send Bumpy away in a fit of rage, a mistake he realized fully after seeing Bumpy’s lack of presence. Due to this, Ben began to harden, finally letting go of his phobias and finally learned how to truly survive the jungle, later defeating Toro with the help of a now grown Bumpy. Ever since this event transpired, Ben has abandoned his shy and weak demeanor, now possessing the behavior of a wild survivalist. He frequently refers to the other campers as kids, due to his belief they are less experienced, but is nonetheless happy to be reunited with his friends. He surprisingly holds no grudge against them for abandoning him, apparently understanding their reason for this, although whether or not there is more to this than he lets on is unknown. He was less surprised to see the group, only calmly and slightly awkwardly greeting them, but was still happy to see them. Ben also appears to have developed a somewhat sadistic and violent streak, as he constantly suggested feeding Hap, Mitch, and Tiff to the carnivores dinosaurs and was willing to electrocute Hap out of high mistrust, showing a bit of a merciless trait as well to his enemies. Darius comments on Ben being rather disturbing by his behavior. By the start of the third season, Ben grows to be more reclusive from the group’s social interactions, and mainly hung around with Bumpy, whom he had become incredibly close with since arriving on Isla Nublar. While still caring about his friends, he grows to be more secretive around everyone else, no longer as willing to talk about what he’s going, and more frustrated with Darius’ attempts to talk with him. This is due to his adaption on the island, for he now is more used to living in the jungle now and has a fear of leaving Bumpy behind, as he feels that he may not be ready to leave her on Isla Nublar yet. He especially is protective of Bumpy because of this, which only continues to strengthen his attachment to her. Due to his time in the jungle, Ben is now used to being alone and appears to still believe the campers’ friendship with each other will dissolve once they leave the island, hence why he isn't as friendly with them anymore and is more secretive with his whereabouts. As tensions rise on the island, Ben eventually grows to be disillusioned with the idea of living with civilization again, since he has grown used to the jungle, and in the process decides to stay on Isla Nublar with Bumpy. He reveals that he feels as if he belongs on the island, and feels as if he is his best version of himself as a survivalist. This results in him starting to aggressively fight with Darius, although this ends when he witnessed Bumpy with a herd of Ankylosaurus. He realizes that Bumpy is better protected with the herd, better than Ben himself ever could, and realizes that Bumpy belongs with her kind in the wild whereas Ben belongs with civilization, accepting that he must let Bumpy go, much to his sadness. However, Ben acknowledges that he considers the island to be his “home,” and decides to not leave it now that the Scorpios are dead, so he initially stays behind when they leave. But he then quickly realizes he wants to go back to shore with the others, now realizing that he can be his newfound self anywhere else and does not need to be in the jungle to be himself. Season 4 shows Ben's aggressive personality reduce significantly, and a balance of his two personalities. While he is still brave and confident, his overconfidence, erratic and aggressive personality have subsided, and he shows some vulnerability he did back in season 1. He is much more with the group than he was for most of season 3. Despite missing Bumpy, he later develops a bond with a Brachiosaurus he names Firecracker. At the end of the season, he is shocked to learn that Kenji's dad is the president of Mantah Corp. In season 5, Ben is shown to be supportive of Yaz’s feelings for Sammy and tries to get her to confess, being overjoyed when the two become a couple. He refuses to mind control Bumpy into going with him. He’s also the first to forgive Kenji for his betrayal after he helps Ben save Bumpy. Ultimately, Ben has come to enjoy the newfound freedom of being relieved of his previous timidity, and enjoys relishing in his new confidence, finally content with himself.
