I never had one as a kid so I'm very curious what other people's experiences were.

My imaginary friend was very tiny, and I'd imagine him cartoonishly jumping around whatever environment I was in so he could talk to me on my level. I used to hide out in the bathroom a lot, so oftentimes he'd be jumping on top of the toilet paper roll, then scampering up to the counter so we could have a proper conversation. If I was in the car, he'd sit on the edge of the window.

The best way I could describe him looking back would be like the vault boy from fallout. Not the same clothes or look, but just that cartoony style. I probably imagined him to be a little darker and with different colored hair.
