9
10
09 is the main protagonist of both the 2005 short and the 2009 film. He is the last creation of The Scientist, and the closest to perfection out of all of the stitchpunks. His fastening is a zipper.
9 is one of the more heartfelt of the group, putting others before himself. He starts out quite naïve, but quickly learns to overcome this flaw to empower his intuition.
In the 2009 film, 9 appears as a brown burlap stitchpunk. He has a golden/yellow zipper on his front to fasten his abdomen, and the number "9" inked on his back. 9 was initially left without a voice box, leaving him mute. Thanks to 2, however, this was fixed.
9 is The Scientist's last and final cognitive soul fragment . He awoke in the world alone, voiceless, left with the Talisman, and with no guidance from the beginning—until he was found in the Emptiness by 2, who gave him a voice box, bestowing him with his words of wisdom and inspirational enlightenment. Not long following, 9 and 2 end up being sighted and attacked by the Cat Beast (aka [quotationally]"The Beast"). The talisman is confiscated by The Beast, while 9 is left wounded in his left shoulder. The Cat Beast takes off with 2, leaving him stranded. 9 attempts to take off after the Beast, but ends up passing out from his injury. He is then rescued by 5, who sews his shoulder back up.
9 awakens in the Workshop, alarmed at first by 5, but quickly reassured that he is now safe. 5 ponders the whereabouts of 2, which 9 informs him that he had been accompanying 2. They are cut short by the entrance of 1, who walks in and immediately approaches with suspicion and inspects 9, checking his number; 5 hesitantly answers 1, stating he found 9 in the Emptiness, triggering an immediate and rash response from 1, scolding and intimidating 5 for disobeying his rule and threatening their safety with the risk of leading the Cat Beast back to them.
