Bill's canon is the section of the novel IT that takes place in the past when he's still a child. He knows a very small fragmented few pieces of his future due to his CRAU. Due to the nature of Derry, Bill will start to forget his life in Derry, his friends, and the events that took place in his canon if he does not make reminders for himself. Anything he doesn't make a point of not allowing himself to forget could be lost until he is reminded of it again.
CRAU History:
Bill meets up with Eddie, Richie and Stan on Avagi station. He briefly suffers some memory loss that is rectified when he sees Eddie's wall of memories. Although he is worried for his other friends, he is glad to have the 'core' group back.
He starts going to school and in his free time works on writing an edited version of their lives in Derry to help keep his memories strong. It's written in the form of a western, with the boys being the 'good' guys, and Henry's gang of bullies being the villains.
The ingress memorial and an unusual fog start causing unusual things to happen in the station, and Bill witnesses a glimpse of Richie's version (the movie version) of reality in the form of another him punching Richie in the face, and witnesses Henry breaking Eddie's arm. The pain of both friend's memories further convinces Bill that he needs to keep them close and make sure no further harm comes to either of his friends, from him or anyone else.
From this same event Bill gets a glimpse of his future, where he sees that he is married to a woman named Audra, and witnesses himself cheat on her with Beverly. He also sees a glimpse of Eddie's future, where Eddie dies in a fashion horribly similar to his younger brother Georgie's death, and he and the other surviving losers abandon Eddie's dead body in the sewers.
Eddie flees and Richie punches Bill in the face, breaking his nose. The boys are separated for a time, and Bill moves from their shared quarters to the medical center. After a while, Richie comes up with the idea to make a new promise, and the boys get together to start to mend their broken friendship with a new promise never to leave each other behind or let one another die. Bill slowly comes to terms with the realization that Eddie is more and more like a brother to him, and gives up even trying to act otherwise. Although their friendship will never be exactly as it was before the events they witnessed, Bill refuses to let go of any of them, and starts working to try and help mend the broken threads connecting them to one another.
The boys slowly put their friendships back together, each individually realizing that they can't and don't want to move forward without being friends. They realize that the future they saw doesn't have to be their future if they do not let it, and although things are still tense, the path to something approaching their version of normal starts to clear.
Bill and Eddie work on adapting the western version of their lives Bill has been writing into a sort of play script, and Beverly shows up at the station, unaware of everything that has already happened. Things are initially a little awkward between her and Bill, but Bill opens up not long after their first real talk on the station, and the two work on the set for the play together.
Bill and Eddie discuss Bill's future, and Eddie hints at the possibility he might be into guys in a roundabout way to Bill. Although neither directly acknowledges it, Bill assures Eddie that he would not think differently of him, and that Bill loves him.
Personality:
Bill has the personality structure of a natural leader. He is the one who unites his friends, even amidst turmoil, stress, and danger. The other Losers look up to him as 'Big Bill', and he is known to be something of a rock among the group. He is steadfast and brave, qualities that have the other kids leaning toward him for support, guidance, or just someone to look to when things get rough or unsteady. He takes this responsibility with pride, and looks out for the other losers as if they were his own family, caring more for them than even his own parents, especially after Georgie's death.
Bill is reasonable and gentle most of the time. He speaks softly, but confidently, and in spite of his stutter there is a surety to his words. He evaluates situations as they occur and reacts to them, sometimes a little too quickly or without a proper plan, but always with a possible solution. He isn't the sort to give up when he hits a wall, looking for a new path or solution each time. It's the level and even-headed response he has to most problems and conflicts the Losers encounter that make him the one to look to whenever something comes up.
For self-preservation the losers are sometimes forced to avoid Bowers and his gang, or flee from the bullies on their bikes. However in a direct confrontation, Bill stays strong. He keeps the losers together because he knows they are stronger and safer as a group, and most of the worst events happen when any of the losers are alone, like when Henry Bowers breaks Eddie's arm. He is quick to help others in need, and when the losers encounter another boy, Mike, being chased and beaten by Bowers and his gang, the losers intervene with a rock fight that they win due to sheer numbers, further solidifying Bill's belief that together they are stronger than apart and that they need to stick together.
For Bill, Georgie was the most important thing in the world. He loved his little brother and did everything he could for him, no matter how sick or tired he felt. He was the best big brother any kid could ask for, and his relationship with his brother was one of a strong and unbreakable bond and friendship. Georgie came first in all things. And the, on a rainy day while Bill is stuck in bed ill, his little brother is killed by an entity the losers dub 'It'.
Bill had made Georgie a little paper boat so he could sail it along the gutters to escape his boredom, and it was while chasing this boat that Georgie is caught and killed by It, who severs his arm and leaves him to bleed out in the gutter. Bill's parents become despondent and inconsolable over the loss of their youngest, and as a result pull away from their older son, often refusing to acknowledge him or treating him poorly while dealing with their guilt. Their family is irreparably fractured, and Bill puts the blame for it on himself, reasoning that he is responsible for Georgie's death. Later this guilt is bolstered and paired with a strong drive for revenge, as he becomes ever more determined to kill the thing responsible for taking his little brother from him. He couldn't save Georgie, but he could stop the thing that had taken Georgie from him, and stop it from taking any more kids.
Bill puts a lot of weight on his own shoulders, acting as an older sibling and the leader of the losers. He tries to carry far more responsibility for others and for the events he lives through than any young boy should. He blames himself for his little brother's death, because he was the one to help Georgie with the paper boat that eventually led to Georgie's death. Avenging Georgie drives many of his choices and decisions from that moment on. During his childhood he never comes to the realization that the way his parents neglect and ignore him after his little brother's death is not okay and not his fault. He also clings to the guilt of 'causing' Georgie's death for most of his life. He made Georgie the boat, so of course in his mind, he is the reason Georgie died.
He suffers from a stutter through most of his childhood. Even though he is a genius with words, and often spends time writing stories on the typewriter his parents gave him, getting the words out verbally has always been a hurdle for him. Beyond his speech impediment just being a verbal weakness, Bill's stutter makes it difficult for people other than the losers to take him seriously. He often has trouble getting through whole sentences without it, and because he is stubborn, refuses to give up until he gets the words out. This leads to other kids in school calling him Stuttering Bill, and taunting him about his stutter with their own imitations. He has born a lot of teasing and torment over it from his other peers and even some of the adults in Derry. In situations of high stress or tension, his stutter gets much worse, and unless one of his friends finishes a word for him, he could become stuck on one for quite some time, unable to move past it until he gets it out.
Bowers' gang targets Bill due to his stutter, and while it bothers him when other people bully or tease him over it, he takes the ribbing from his friends with good humor, and will even laugh with them over it. He can often be heard going through his mantra under his breath as he goes from place to place, a series of words aimed at helping him to overcome his stutter through repetition: He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts. There is evidence that his stutter is almost directly tied to his emotional state, worsening when he is upset, angry, or scared but improving or disappearing when he is reading an unfamiliar language, doing an impression of someone else, or making a full speech.
His time in Avagi has not changed Bill's personality much, but he has matured a little more since arriving, and grown a bit more somber after being faced with the reality that he might not be able to save his friends in the future. The most major change in his personality comes from seeing the person he becomes. As Eddie mentions, the future they saw had them each more or less become the people they would most be afraid of becoming, and this is very true for Bill. The adult him he sees abandons a friend, betrays honor and trust, and is more or less the opposite of everything Bill prides himself in being. As a result, Bill is more determined than ever to hold fast to his honor, loyalty, and bravery.
Abilities/Skills:
Creativity - Bill is a talented writer who spends much of his freetime writing stories on the typewriter his parents gave him. He also enjoys painting, drawing, and folding paper.
Natural Leader - Despite his usual soft-spoken, stuttering voice and words, Bill is the natural leader of the losers, and a level head. The other kids in the group look up to him, calling him Big Bill, and look to him for their courage and for answers. If Bill says something can be done, it can be. He unites the losers and is often the one to pull them out of the dark.
Shine - Many of the children in Stephen King's books have unusual, usually psychic, spiritual, or supernaturally linked abilities. The kids in IT have a very latent and understated power that connects all of them. They shine. Most people are unlikely to ever notice this power, and it isn't one Bill uses as much as it is a passive awareness. It allows him to see reality a little clearer, even eventually allowing him to see through Pennywise's illusions. It also allows him to know about things that are happening that he isn't actually around for and shouldn't be able to know. Bill's shining is particularly strong, and would eventually allow him to communicate with his friends telepathically and send his strength to them mentally.
