History Characters / CantGoHomeAgain

* KickTheSonOfABitch: A verbal case. [[spoiler:Telepathically scolds and taunts Chance as most of the cast takes shelter from an hurricane, throwing back at him what he said to the other animatronics the night he tried to burn them alive. Chance doesn't even manage to retort, as Fritz shuts him off as he had previously requested.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness:
** Fire. [[spoiler:Fire is capable of killing animatronics by destroying their bodies beyond repair, leaving nothing for their souls to hang on to.]]
** This extends to heat in general, as high temperatures cause them to tire out and lose control of their bodies. Unlike fire, they can recover upon cooling down. Baby, and later Monty, specifically have a built-in air-cooling system to try and circumvent this problem.
** [[spoiler:''Going Home In A Box'' reveals that temperatures below the freezing point are not kind to them either, especially to those without insulation such as Ennard. Although it might be a weakness specific to him.]]

* AfraidOfDoctors: Really, ''really'' doesn't like hospitals. Justified, given what he went through after the Bite of '87. He seems to have grown out of it -- or at the very least managed to subdue it -- by ''Going Home In A Box'', as he happily performs for sick children in a hospital.
* BadassAdorable: In-universe, he's a beloved children's animatronic who is, nonetheless, capable of taking out multiple opponents at once. Ask Baby, Ennard, or [[spoiler:the Funtimes]].

* BizarreAlienBiology: Able to "cry". Whilst already bizarre for a mechanical body, the tears are made of a gooey, purple, paint-like substance which creates the purple marks on his mask. [[spoiler:Their disappearance upon being forced out of his body by Golden Freddy and immediate reappearance upon saving Mike hints at them being ethereal.]]

[[folder:Chance]]
'''Chauncey "Chance" Evans''' [[spoiler:'''Johnson''', Henry's father]], a former technician for the Freddy's chain [[spoiler:who worked under both his son and his partner, William Afton]]. He knows the animatronics are alive and is trying to release the souls inside of them.

* CoolOldGuy: He's well into his sixties by the time of the plot, and is still a very capable technician. [[spoiler:Enough to rig an entire building into a gigantic incinerator in order to burn down the animatronics and any humans from Freddy's who he thinks deserve to die alongside him.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:He wants to die and free the souls from their animatronic bodies, allowing them to move on after lives filled with tragedy and despair. However, Chance is doing it out of a twisted sense of entitlement and perverted justice above all, whilst the animatronics want to continue living their lives as if they were still human, something he refuses to accept. In the sequel, he desperately begs to be destroyed once it's revealed his soul is now inside Lefty, which denied him of even his own, personal death.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To his son, Henry Johnson, who influenced him as Golden Freddy.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:Serves as one to Mike Schmidt. The two are heavily involved in the tragedies caused by Afton and Freddy's, but Mike keeps their secret to protect them and treats them like the humans they are. Mike doesn't want to bury the past, but carry on and fix what can still be fixed. Chance, instead, dehumanizes the animatronics at every given moment, putting himself on a pedestal above them in the process, and constantly tries to destroy the past, believing it is best left forgotten.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:As revealed by Charlie come ''Almost Feels Like Home'', behind the mourning façade, Chance was always absent in her family's life, never helping Henry with Sammy's disappearance, and focusing exclusively on his son's death above everyone else's... to the point he was ready to kill some of those very same people ''again'' in Henry's name. He at least admits to it, even if he needs to be metaphorically beaten over the head with it repeatedly beforehand.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Springtrap drags him into the fire he caused so both will die together. And as it turns out, his soul is now trapped inside the same device he made to trap Marionette.]]
* IronicDeath: [[spoiler: Twofold! He drags Mike into his plans in part because he believes him to be Michael Afton, continuing his father's legacy of killing; thus, Chance plans to erase what he thinks remains of the Afton family in one fell swoop. Michael is the one who makes sure everyone ''but'' Chance escapes his death trap, saving the lives of Mike and of three other Aftons in Marion, Gabriel, and Elizabeth.]]
* ItIsDehumanizing: [[spoiler:One of the signs that his goal isn't as merciful as it seems, since he refuses to acknowledge the animatronics as human, using terms like "creatures" and "machines" to describe them, ignoring the souls that by all means want to ''continue'' being alive in their new bodies.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:Delivers this line during his Motive Rant, which makes it seem, at best, that he thinks no other parent mourned their own children's deaths, and at worst like Henry's death was the single biggest tragedy out of all of them, and the only one that ''deserved'' to be avenged.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Chance:''' I wasn't the only one to lose a child to his madness. The only difference between me and the countless other parents… was that mine had a family he was leaving behind.]]
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:His mind is completely set on erasing the blood trail left by William Afton and his creations, and he'll make absolutely sure the animatronics are freed, no matter what they think or feel about it, and this also extends to the human workers who still remain, keeping Freddy's memory alive indirectly.]]

** [[spoiler:His soul ended up possessing the LEFTE unit, the very same device he created to trap, torture, and ensure Marionette's death in his trap. Thus, the man who wanted to destroy the animatronics ends up being not just any animatronic, but the one he built himself.]]
** [[spoiler:Foxy doubles down in that regard, refusing to kill him and let him move on and instead letting him live to understand how they felt at first.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:He wants to kill Mike, but because he believes him to be Michael ''Afton'', William's son.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:He returns in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', now stuck in the LEFTE unit.]]
* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:His son died before William, and William is long dead, so he chooses to kill William's legacy by incinerating animatronics and personnel alike.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Attempts to pull one off by gathering as many animatronics as he can before locking them in the fake Pizzeria and setting it on fire whilst he's still inside. Note that this is in no way, shape or form heroic; rather, it's nothing short of mass murder-suicide.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:His fake pizzeria trap was originally supposed to have Scott in the role of the fake security guard to burn alongside the animatronics, but he decided against it at the last moment: in his mind, Scott was already too shaken by his experience to deserve death on top of everything else.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Hoo. Chance is so important to ''Can't Go Home Again'', he cannot be talked about without giving away the entire book's narrative and key twist, as well as some fundamentally important plot points. Yes, he is ''that'' important.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He certainly ''thinks'' he's doing this for the souls trapped inside the animatronics, but all he's doing is continuing the Freddy's tradition of sweeping the problem under the rug and covering it up from the public eye.]]

The protagonist of the Home trilogy, a former Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria security guard who inherits the belongings of the franchise's last owner, including his house, kickstarting the entire plot when he meets the animatronic that came with the place.

* AcquaintedWithEmergencyServices: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With.]] Mike ends up in the hospital three times in ''Can't Go Home Again'' (broken hand, wounded back, [[spoiler:smoke inhalation]]), but every time, he uses a fake name.
* AdaptationalBadass: Being a security guard who survived Freddy's, multiple times even, already qualifies him. But Mike steps up to plate and goes well beyond any expectations when he finds himself in situations when he has to defend himself or his loved ones. To wit, he successfully talked down Springtrap and deactivated him, managed to push Ennard back ''twice'' (and he was heavily wounded the first time), survived four shifts at Hickory Dickory's Funcade, and managed to [[spoiler:dent Golden Freddy's head with a sledgehammer]].
** ''Almost Feels Like Home'' reveals Mike has become something of an urban legend; a security guard with many names who shows up out of the blue, takes the job, solves whatever problem is at hand, and then disappears over the horizon.

** Averted with Chipper's and Sons (later El Chip's). Mike cannot even bring himself to snark at the cringe-worthy spectacle falling apart before him. Marionette and, later, Fritz pick up the slack for him.

* DeadpanSnarker: Most of what Mike says is sprinkled with with biting sarcasm and bitter remarks, to the point it's one of his defining traits. Later events and flashbacks suggest it's something akin to a coping mechanism for when things start heading south.
** That said, if the situation is truly desperate, such as the confrontations with [[spoiler:Golden Freddy]] and [[spoiler:William Afton]], Mike drops the snarkiness completely.
* MadeOfIron: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]]. Mike is just a human in the end, and in spite of surviving some truly harrowing experiences, his injuries tend to pile up and leave behind scars both physical and mental. [[spoiler:In particular, Mike suffers from panic attacks and low self-esteem, causing him to go searching after situations that further put him and his loved ones in danger because he wants to feel the same importance he felt when he first worked for Freddy's.]]

* RelationshipUpgrade: With Marionette, a.k.a Marion Afton, beginning in Chapter 47 of ''Can't Go Home Again'' after a confession from the latter, and confirmed in Chapter 49. [[spoiler:It isn't until Chapter 74 that Mike reciprocates out loud, though.]]

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; whilst he's first introduced as Sam Fritz in ''Can't Go Home Again'', his real name is revealed a few chapters in the story.

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler: With Natalie.]] Whilst Fritz breaks up with his first girlfriend shortly into ''Can't Go Home Again'', [[spoiler: Natalie]] invites him to a date after [[spoiler:finding out the truth about the animatronics and Marionette]]. The two end up together shortly afterwards, and live together by ''Almost Feels Like Home''.

* RelationshipUpgrade: With [[spoiler:Foxy]]. Jeremy starts off by saying Foxy was always his favorite, and it doesn't take long before the two become best friends. They decide to enter a relationship after the [[spoiler:fake Freddy's]] goes up in flames.

[[spoiler:The daughter of the late Henry Johnson, one of Freddy's two founders.]] Charlotte first debuts in ''Can't Go Home Again'' as a teenager, as she and her friends try to break into Foxy's to see if the new restaurant is hiding any secrets. Her role is gradually expanded following a series of reveals, until, at the very end of the book, Marionette reveals the whole truth about the animatronics and Freddy's to her as part of [[spoiler:Henry's]] last request before moving on.

** Marionette and Foxy were designed to be this, with Marionette in particular being [[spoiler:designed by the child who would become him]], and it only grew when they were inhabited by the souls of Marion and Gabriel Afton.

The other protagonist of the ''Home'' series. Also known as the Puppet, formerly part of the Toy Animatronics line-up from the late eighties. Marionette took residence in Fredrick Fazzman's home after escaping the Pizzeria, and ended up continuing to live with Mike Schmidt when the latter inherited the house from his former boss's will. After a first, tense meeting, the two become very close, and Marionette returns to working, and later performing, inside a restaurant, this time Foxy's.

* BileFascination: {{Invoked}}. Mike ''loves'' to watch B-grade horror movies with cheesy special effects, as well as playing incredibly hard or boring games. In the latter case, this is in spite of his constant complaining;

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Marionette's Sensitive Guy.
** [[WordofGod Extra content from the author's own Tumblr blog]] further compounds it; Mike's favorite genre is alternative rock and he used to be into motorcycles, whilst Marionette listens to symphonic music and his favorite hobby is baking sweets.
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Not ''literally'' to death, but Mike's best skill is shown in how he approaches haunted animatronics and talks them down. Lampshaded in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', when Jeremy and Fritz bring up how Mike got through to Marionette, was the first one capable of approaching Foxy, and talked Springtrap down from attacking them, allowing them to repair his wiring.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Although not nearly as good as Marionette at delivering them, Mike definitely has a knack for them. Three in particular stand out:
** The first time, he delivers one to [[spoiler:Chance Johnson]] in ''Can't Go Home Again'' as the [[spoiler:fake]] new Freddy's [[spoiler:burns down around them, pointing out the animatronics are just human beings in different bodies and chastising him for thinking he has the right to their lives]].
** The second one is delivered to [[spoiler:Golden Freddy a.k.a Henry Emily Johnson]] a few chapters later, [[spoiler:as he reveals his motivations and forces Marionette out of his body]], even dropping a [[PrecisionFStrike Precision F-Strike]] in the process.
** The third one comes in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', during the Magictime Theatre Memorial Service. After being shown by Marionette how Detective Clay Burke handled the investigations, Mike delivers a scathing speech in front of the cameras to the entirety of Hurricane's citizenship and police force, calling them out on their hypocrisy over the handling of the Missing Children incident and how they prefer to take the easy blaming over an actual conclusion.

* CompositeCharacter: Might have become this with [[spoiler:''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted Help Wanted]]'''s Jeremy, as he begins to suffer hallucinations and nightmares involving knives and bodies after play-testing a videogame. Much like in ''Help Wanted'', it's not the game itself that's the cause, but rather, it's William Afton's doing]].

* HiddenDepths: Shy, meek Jeremy Fitzgerald has a ''criminal record''. In particular, he's a repeated offender for petty larceny, and was arrested for car theft after taking a stole car for a joyride with his friends. [[spoiler:If Golden Freddy isn't to blame, it might be what caused Mangle to attack him during opening hours, as it became aware of his criminal record thanks to its' facial scan ability.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's hard for Jeremy to actually get angry over something, so it comes as a surprise when he starts lashing out in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' after his family starts contacting him again.

* RelationshipUpgrade: With Foxy, a.k.a Gabriel Afton. Jeremy starts off by saying Foxy was always his favorite, and it doesn't take long before the two become best friends. They decide to enter a relationship after the [[spoiler:fake Freddy's]] goes up in flames.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Foxy's Manly Man.
* TraumaButton: Mangle's bite left scars both physical and psychological. When trapped in Hickory Dickory's Funcade on what should have been Mike's fifth night, Jeremy promptly freaks out when a similarly broken animatronic tries to tear him to pieces, screaming for Foxy. [[spoiler:Granted, that specific animatronic ''was'' Mangle to boot.]]

* ActionSurvivor: Once again, a former, still living security guard at Freddy's. Ever since he decided to help out, though, he has found himself in similarly risky situations, in particular surviving Ennard's attempt at scooping him down in Afton Robotics.
** The last ten chapters of ''Almost Feels Like Home'' see him survive [[spoiler:the Twisted animatronics at an old Fazbear factory, crashing a van into a ditch because of William Afton's attempted possession, and both Nightmare Bonnie and Nightmare Fredbear in the span of a few hours.]]

* CrazyPrepared: Recorded, and continues to record, every phone conversation he's ever had, keeping them on cassette tapes for safe-keeping. He also kept a lot of tapes from Freddy's, down to the maintenance tapes for the animatronics. Those tapes come in handy in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' when Mike needs to understand what part of Marionette broke, and how to repair his music box.
** He also kept track of ''every'' former Freddy's employee or business partner that he could keep track of. [[spoiler:It's how he gets Ennard his own suit.]]

* MuggleAndMagicalLoveTriangle: ''Twice'':

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Getting Chrissy away from Dave Miller, even if it cost Charlie her human body, caused him to go into a tailspin. Mike, Marionette, and later Foxy make it to Magictime Theatre in time to save the kids, stop Miller, and save her... even if at a great price.]]
** [[spoiler:And, as mentioned later below, it completely derailed William Afton's plans too.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Narration at the end of Chapter 24 of ''Going Home In A Box'' hints that his predicament came from a vague desire of being in the Pizzaplex to begin with. In that very same chapter, he narrowly escapes from both Monty and Chica.

* PintSizedKid: Notably smaller than even those his age, if he can fit inside Freddy's torso hatch, a torso hatch usually meant for oversized birthday cakes and pinatas.
** He's small enough for Marionette, a paperweight animatronic who struggles to drag around an average man like Mike, to lift him in his arms and carry him around.

* DeathByIrony: How their original bodies died, at least.

* FriendToAllChildren: Marionette and Foxy were designed to be this, with Marionette in particular being [[spoiler:designed by the child who would become him]], and it only grew when they were inhabited by the souls of Marion and Gabriel Afton.
** Averted with Baby: She '''seemed'' to be designed like this as well, but like all other Funtime Animatronics, [[spoiler:she was secretly built and programmed to kidnap and murder]], causing her much anger and annoyance to this very day.
** Also Averted with Ennard, who wants to be this, and comes close on one occasion, but the left-over programming from the Funtime components of his body makes everyone remain weary of letting him come close to children. Including himself.
** Played Straight with Lottie and Glamrock Freddy. Played Straight in general if there isn't any programming to cause them to act against their will.
* GhostAmnesia: Played With; most of the haunted animatronics tend to have varying levels of recollection of their lives before their human deaths. Some, like Marion, recall most of their lives, but have forgotten details. Others, like [[spoiler:Baby]] and [[spoiler:Ennard]], don't even remember having been humans, at least at first. It's shown, however, that those memories can be regained through interaction and introspection over time. [[spoiler:That's without mentioning how much Golden Freddy's tampering in the pursuit of revenge might have caused those memories to be supressed to begin with, in some cases.]]
** Subverted by Foxy. Marion believed he had lost all memories of his past, but it turned out to be a ruse, as he retained them from the very first moments he became an animatronic.
** Straight-up Averted by [[spoiler:Michael]], [[spoiler:Charlie]] and [[spoiler:Chance]], who did not lose any of their memories in the process of becoming animatronics themselves.

* WasOnceAMan: Every living animatronic was a human being at one point. The level at which they remember that, however, varies:

* WeaksauceWeakness: Fire. [[spoiler:Fire is capable of killing animatronics by destroying their bodies beyond repair, leaving nothing for their souls to hang on to.]]

The other protagonist of the Home trilogy. Also known as the Puppet, formerly part of the Toy Animatronics line-up from the late 80s. Marionette took residence in Fredrick Fazzman's home after escaping the Pizzeria, and ended up continuing to live with Mike Schmidt when the latter inherited the house from his former boss's will. After a first, tense meeting, the two become very close, and Marionette returns to working, and later performing, inside a restaurant, this time Foxy's.

* AchillesHeel: His music box. His programming causes him to react to specific songs in specific ways as long as they play, with "My Grandfather's Clock" in particular putting him into sleep mode. It might be the only thing that is capable of doing that, as he seems to lack a shutdown button, unlike every other animatronic.

* AfraidOfDoctors: Really, ''really'' doesn't like hospitals. Justified, given what he went through after the Bite of '87.
** Seems to have grown out of it -- or at the very least managed to subdue it -- by ''Going Home In A Box'', as he happily performs for sick children in a hospital.

* BileFascination: {{Invoked}}, much like Mike. He enjoys the same cheesy B-grade horror movies and he loves playing the knock-off Freddy's Monopoly game. As they watch the terrible Chipper and Son's show, whilst Mike is rendered speechless, he picks up the slack for him in the [[DeadpanSnarker snark department]], watching in amusement as [[SpecialEffectsFailure the non-possessed animatronics fall apart and utter nonsensical lines]], even falling out of his chair at one point in laughter.

* CharacterTics: Almost literally, as the noises coming from his music box are the easiest way to tell how he's feeling. To wit:

* ElectiveMute: It isn't until Chapter 5 of ''Can't Go Home Again'' that Mari utters a single line, before explaining that he didn't feel the need to speak before.
** Subverted by his programming, which causes him to seize up in front of adults he's unfamiliar with. He slowly overcomes it, but it flares up every once in a while, [[spoiler:like when first introduced to Charlie's friends]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Much like Mike, although his are far more effective.
** A stand-out example is the one he delivers to [[spoiler:Chance in ''Can't Go Home Again'' as the fake Freddy's is burning down with him, Mike and several other animatronics inside as part of Chance's plan to "release the trapped souls" and end Freddy's legacy. He proceeds to tear apart his entire argumentation, pointing out they're not "trapped", they are human souls with animatronic bodies and free will, and he has no right to their lives.]]
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Mike's Manly Man.
** Also the Sensitive Guy to his brother Foxy's Manly Man.

** ''Going Home In A Box'' takes this a step further. [[spoiler:The reveal of Vanny and the possibility that someone has already died in the Pizzaplex due to the Glamrocks' sentience causes such a strong emotional reaction that, when Mike tries to get a hold of him, he suffers from a series of side effects, such as visual distortions, hallucinations, headaches and an accelerated heartbeat. It's only when Marionette calms down that they all disappear.]]

* TroubledFetalPosition: Often assumed in ''Can't Go Home Again'', when particularly distressed. Has fully grown out of it by ''Almost Feels Like Home''.

* TheAtoner: Shockingly enough, his true character-defining trait. Foxy still feels responsible for the bullying he put Marion through, as well as causing his original death, which then spiraled into the death of his friends and himself. In spite of Marion's own reassurance, Foxy still wants to make up for it, becoming much better as a person and as a brother in the process.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: In-universe. In spite of Foxy barely wanting to play ball and often faking malfunctions to get out of performing, his design and personality saw him outshine the other three members of the Fazbear gang over time, even amongst the staff. The security guards use this as the reason behind making him the star of Foxy's, which ends up working.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Jeremy's Sensitive Guy.
** He's also the Manly Man to his brother Marionette's Sensitive Guy.

* ThatManIsDead: [[PlayingWithTropes Played with]]. Whilst he used to think the soul inside him was just a battery that would've ran out when they killed the Purple Man, Foxy now openly regrets it, having wasted years of a life that was just different than before because of it. He balances his humanity and his status as an animatronic well enough, but he's been Foxy for so long he prefers to go by that name and turn the character into his real self. Part of it also stems from his belief that Gabriel Afton was an awful person, and that the more he distances himself from what he was, the better. Marionette, Jeremy, Max and [[spoiler:Springtrap]] are the only ones who called him Gabriel or Gabe so far, with Jeremy being the only one to repeatedly call him that to his face when the situation's bad enough.

* VoiceChangeling: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Foxy starts off speaking using his pre-recorded lines, chopping and screwing them together to create more complex sentences. It's when he starts speaking himself again through his voice box that he can vocalize properly, but he cannot replicate others' voices like Marionette.

* ObfuscatingStupidity[=/=]SadClown: He acts quirky and constantly spouts jokes and snarky comments, overdoing his goofy voice whenever possible, but it's all an act to hide the fact that he's neither as stupid nor happy as he seems to be. Ennard is a ''fast'' learner and can easily see through a lie or attempts to dodge the subject, as he knows that the security guards still don't quite trust him, all while still harboring the pain he feels from being made to kill children and being unable to do anything about it on his own.
* PunnyName: His name, as usual, is a play on "Innards".

* StealthExpert: The seven-feet tall, hulking mass of wires and endoskeleton with a mask and party hat manages to move around suburban Hurricane ''completely undetected''. If Ennard gets seen, that's because he ''wants'' you to see him.
** ''Going Home In A Box'' reveals he apparently knows how to pick locks, and is capable of moving without making a single noise, as he sneaks up on Clay Burke without anyone else in the household noticing.
* TakingTheBullet: Unwillingly, but[[spoiler:Ennard takes a bullet to an eye, courtesy of a possessed Detective Burke, towards the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home''. In spite of being in excruciating pain and with one eye remaining, he still moves over to Scott to protect him. Thankfully, Scott easily replaces it with a new part.]]

* VoiceChangeling: As Ennard's made out of the Funtimes' parts, he's capable of speaking in their voices. His default voice is a spin on Funtime Freddy's, he imitates Baby perfectly on several occasions, and he briefly uses Funtime Foxy's voice in ''Almost Feels Like Home''. The only Funtime he's never replicated, so far, is Ballora.
** Not only that, but he retains Funtime Foxy's ability to mimic ''any'' voice, and one of his built-in abilities is audio sample analysis, which only makes him more skilled at it. He mimics Scott's voice the most, pretending to be him as he answers the phone, but on the flip side, Ennard gives himself away laughably easily to just about anyone.

* {{Yandere}}: His obsession with Scott can come across as this after his HeelFaceTurn, as he often tries to keep the Phone Guy all for himself and acts wary of his neighbors, even after he stopped trying to drive them off. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that he never wants to harm anyone in the process.

\\

* CynicismCatalyst: Her treatment down in Afton Robotics was very much akin to torture, and led her to see all technicians much like the other animatronics saw the security guards, [[spoiler:without Golden Freddy's influence]].

\\

* CharacterTics: Like Marionette, her true feelings and emotions come out through her internal music box. Unlike Marionette, hers isn't the normal type that produces chime, but rather, an ensemble of bells that ring.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Eventually, [[spoiler:with Marionette.]]

* WrenchWench: Had started to attend college, planning on studying robotics. She decides to continue studying the subject regardless, becoming something of an apprentice under Fritz. [[spoiler:She even helps repair Springtrap's wiring]].

* AmbiguousSituation: The Staffbots exist in a bizarre spot between "unintelligent machines" and "living animatronics". Their typical behaviour is more akin to a Roomba, as they wander on a semi-set path and need constant human intervention for them to continue functioning. They're also easily hijacked and remote controlled.[[spoiler:But several incidents suggest there to perhaps be more to them, due to their reaction to certain events and off-hours behaviour. That is without getting into the Alpha-series Staffbots buried under the Pizzaplex, which is a whole different can of worms]].
** Averted with the animatronics proper, however. Foxy's crew spends weeks wondering, at first, if they are truly alive, as their behaviour, intelligence, emotions and reactions are not ones of simple machines. [[spoiler:Glamrock Chica is confirmed to have formerly been Funtime Chica and, thus, one of William Afton's original victims alongside Andrew. Narration and events later strongly imply, if not outright confirm that Freddy, Monty, Roxy and Beelora are all alive]]. [[FridgeBrilliance Moreso, it was abundantly clear if one recalled how Chipper's non-living animatronics behaved compared to them, and]] ''[[FridgeBrilliance especially]] [[FridgeBrilliance if one recalled]] [[TheNineties the timeframe the series is set in...]]
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Seen with the main Glamrock line-up:

* MeaningfulName: "Freddy" contains the Old Germanic "Fred", which is usually translated to as "Peace". Out of ''all'' the Freddies, he's the one to truly deserve the name, with his peaceful nature and constant attempts at negotation and peaceful resolutions.
** The name is doubly meaningful is Freddy is short for "Frederick", which combines "Fred", "peace", with "ric", "power", to form "peaceful ruler". Glamrock Freddy is the leader of the Glamrocks on paper, and a very peaceful person. Far too peaceful in most situations, which holds him back from effectively leading the band and causes each member to do as they please, with painful consequences for all involved.

* SignatureHeadgear: Well, he ''is'' a Freddy, so the top hat is a given. It does stand out a lot more as the only member of his band to wear one, and even more when one realizes the only other animatronics 'period' to wear hats are Orville and Ennard.
** Chapter 76 of ''Going Home In a Box'' reveal he has a bunch of different top hats, all for different shows.

* ShipTease: Promotional material from Fazbear Entertainment strongly pushes her with Freddy, to the point she openly flirts with him in private. [[spoiler: It goes nowhere, due Freddy, being incompatible with her, already taken, and not being remotely interest in anything outside friendship]].

* SuperSenses: Unlike other living animatronics, whose sense of smell is deeply dulled to the point of near-absence, hers is far more developed than a human's thanks to sensors installed by Fazbear Entertainment. [[TruthInTelevision Such sensors have been around for decades]], [[FridgeLogic but why they'd install them inside an animatronic remains a mystery for the ages]].

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Do not bring up Glamrock Bonnie whenever he's nearby. Especially, do not even remotely suggest whatever happened to Bonnie was his fault.]]

* WeirdTradeUnion: Discussed, amusingly enough. Monty believes that the best way to end the mistreatment from Fazbear Entertainment towards him and his fellow animatronics is to unionize. Nevermind the fact that the staff is not even aware they're alive to begin with...

\\
[[spoiler:He was one of William Afton's victims who Marionette saved by placing his soul in an animatronic.]]

* JekyllAndHyde: The Attendant has two forms, Sun and Moon, that he switches in-between depending on the amount of light at any given moment. It's a key characteristic of his that is constantly invoked by everyone else.
** That said, what is actually going on is... ''complicated'', to say the least. [[spoiler:The Attendant's actions might lead one to think that Sun and Moon are wholly separate identities at first, but it becomes immediately apparent that he's fully aware and remembers everything that happened in the other form. Once he's gotten more comfortable with Gregory, it's revealed that the two forms have differing personalities, the Sun being more jovial and dramatic whilst the Moon is more down-to-earth and serious, but Andrew is always in full control of himself. It's later revealed that this is caused by the two forms' conflicting programming, as Fazbear Entertainment forcefully reprogrammed him to play both roles after Jake was scrapped.]]

* TheSmartGuy: He knows the Pizzaplex, its systems, its intricacies, its policies and its (''[[NoOSHACompliance many]]'') flaws inside and out, making him a very precious ally to the Foxy's gang. [[spoiler:Justified, as he's been living off-the-grid for months by the time he meets Mike, and he had to learn quickly if he wanted to hide and survive.]]

** That said, she hasn't figured out what happened to Charlie and that she and Lottie are the same person... yet.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Works at Foxy's, is in on its big secret, and yet continues to work dilligently as a cook in spite of it.

* InspectorJavert: Still driven to solve the Missing Children case after a decade. This leads him to start putting his hooks into Foxy's, on the sole basis that its animatronics originally performed at Freddy's and its owners worked there as well. He grills Fritz and Scott at the Halloween party in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', and it takes the combined efforts of Tabby and Carlton to make him leave.

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[MythologyGag Well, it ''is'' Springtrap, he does have a penchant for always coming back]]. To wit, he survived having his main cables cut off by Mike, a burning building caving in on itself, and an entire year of hiding in the sewers.

* NotQuiteDead: Mike cutting off the main wires from his neck only kept him down temporarily, as he showed up in the fake pizzeria towards the end of ''Can't Go Home Again''.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather mean-spirited, often making comments aimed exclusively at getting under people's skin, but he's thankful to Marionette for having saved him from ARI, treats Jeremy with the utmost respect, and often gives helpful advice. Case in point, he's the one to tell Jeremy to not use Ballora's song to approach the Minireenas, and is repeatedly warning the guards about Baby in ''Can't Go Home Again''.

\\

\\

\\

* AbusiveParents: It doesn't get any worse than causing the deaths of all of your children and then continuing to harm them even after their souls have settled in new bodies.

* AdaptedOut: His Scraptrap form, from Pizzeria Simulator, never makes a single appearance. Justified in that it's not him, but Michael in the Spring Bonnie suit, and he retains his original, bulkier appearance.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Everything our protagonists face in ''Can't Go Home Again'' is a result of his actions, be it Springtrap (his much-maligned oldest son, whom he indirectly caused to be scooped and later locked into the suit), Ennard (a former technician who worked for his animatronics factory and who was scooped by his daughter out of desperation), the Hickory Dickory's animatronics (the former Toy animatronics, scrapped after Mangle bit Jeremy and driven mad by having forcefully undergone concept unification), Chance Johnson (another former technician who worked for him, the father of his business partner whom he accidentally killed) or Golden Freddy (Henry Johnson).
** ''Almost Feels Like Home''; his possession of Dave Miller results in Charlie's death as a human and transformation into the Security Puppet, and from there, he does everything in his power to have her for himself, secretly driving most of the conflicts and only revealing himself at the very end.

* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers to Mike and Marion to continue his work and hand over Charlie, in exchange of continuing their peaceful existence. Neither even remotely consider the idea.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His soul ended up possessing the LEFTE unit, the very same device he created to trap, torture, and ensure Marionette's death in his trap. Thus, the man who wanted to destroy the animatronics ends up being not just any animatronic, but the one he built himself.]]

* AxCrazy: Downplayed; Vanny appears to be calculating and plans every move of hers, as shown by her constantly being one step ahead of the inexperienced Vanessa. This only serves to make her behaviour and tendencies all the more terrifying.

\\

* AlphaBitch: Baby puts herself first, and everyone else last. Not even being called out by Charlie after putting both of their lives at risk does much to change that. It gradually disappears over ''Almost Feels Like Home'' [[CharacterDevelopment as she grows as a person]], however, and is fully gone by the time of ''Going Home In A Box''.

* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Keeps insisting that she was never human, even after [[spoiler:Chance's reveal]] at the end of ''Can't Go Home Again'' and the obvious issues that would imply. Foxy bitterly notes it's a family trait of Aftons to be in denial at all times. [[spoiler:Ennard manages to cause the memory of her death to resurface, leading her to finally accept her identity as Elizabeth Afton.]]

* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:Baby has been so thoroughly starved of affection from her father that she latches on just about anyone to imitate and receive recognition at first. Without her abusive father to latch on to and lead her down a dark path, Baby regains her memories and grows as a person, facing the consequences of her actions and wanting to make up for them, managing to partly fill the void in her life with her friendships with Charlie, Ennard, and later Scott, as well as reconnecting with her family. By the time William comes back knocking, Baby has turned over a new leaf and turns him down in the name of her friendship with Charlie, finally breaking free of his shadow.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Metaphorically and literally. Baby is so starved of affection that she'll want anyone who shows it exclusively to herself. [[spoiler:In particular, she tries to scare Natalie away to keep Fritz all for herself, and much later, when Charlie reconnects with her friends, she makes it abundantly clear she's not happy about having to "share" her, leering at Jessica and even trying to intimidate Carlton.]]
* LovableAlphaBitch: Eventually develops into this by the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home''.

* SpoiledBrat: Per Foxy's words, Baby got everything she ever asked when she was Elizabeth, even though she doesn't remember at first. It should be noted that, while Foxy's point of view is by his own admission biased, Marionette gives at least ''some'' confirmation to it.
* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Fritz in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', in a particularly egregious case as her need for affection caused her to mistake his kindness for something else. [[spoiler:This leads her to being antagonistic with Natalie and eventually cutting a chunk of her hair off in her sleep, only for Fritz to kick her out of their house.]]
* VoiceChangeling: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Baby speaks with her built-in voicebox for most of her appearances, which makes her sound child-like. [[spoiler:When she regains her memories, she briefly speaks with her actual voice, which sounds like the one of a young woman, before reverting to her usual one.]] Her body wasn't built with voice mimicking in mind, with Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy being given those abilities and directives instead.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Baby could've easily abandoned Charlie at any point during their raid on Chica's Party World, but she decided to help her regardless. [[spoiler:Later, her father, William Afton, tries to convince her to break Charlie's body, and when that doesn't work, he tries to use her love for him as leverage over her friendship with Charlie. It backfires spectacularly, to the point Baby breaks her own wrist in order to protect Charlie from her father.]]

Due to the ever-growing nature of the work in question, as well as its ''many'' chapters, currently over 200, '''some spoilers will be left unmarked'''. Read at your own risk!

\\

The daughter of the late Henry Johnson, one of Freddy's two founders. Charlie first debuts in ''Can't Go Home Again'' as a teenager, as she and her friends try to break into Foxy's to see if the new restaurant is hiding any secrets. She's later seen at the very end, as Marionette reveals the whole truth about the animatronics and Freddy's to her as part of [[spoiler:Henry's]] last request before moving on.

\\
She reappears in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', now eighteen and having started college, yet still getting into trouble as she looks into the new wave of children kidnappings. For tropes regarding her after [[spoiler:her fatal accident and transformation into the Security Puppet, see the "Lottie" folder]].

* WalkingSpoiler: A key character in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', whose actions shape the entire plot. As such, it's hard to talk about Charlie without spoiling key parts of the story.

\\

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Souls possessing animatronic bodies continue to age in this setting. This means that whilst most animatronics were kids or teenagers when they died, they are now in their twenties, if not thirties for Ennard and [[spoiler:Springtrap]].
** They are also capable of smelling, although the smell needs to be strong enough or pungent enough to almost seep into their bodies. This also grants them the ability to faintly taste.
* WasOnceAMan: All of the haunted ones. The level at which they remember that, however, varies:

** [[spoiler:Lottie remembered everything, although some suppressed memories seemingly re-emerged because of the trauma.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: Fire. [[spoiler:[[{{Retcon}} With Remnant not existing]], fire becomes capable of killing animatronics by destroying their bodies beyond repair, leaving nothing for their souls to hang on to.]]
** This extends to heat in general, as high temperatures cause them to tire out and lose control of their bodies. Unlike fire, they can recover upon cooling down. Baby specifically has a built-in fan to try and circumvent this problem.

\\

\\

* AscendedExtra[=/=]BreakoutCharacter: In-universe example. He steadily grew more popular than even Freddy Fazbear himself, both with kids and adults, and thus was the perfect mascot for the three guards to open a new pizzeria with.

* ClothingAppendage: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], unlike the games. His shorts aren't molded onto his suit, they're worn on top of it. Foxy tends to dig his remaining hand's fingers into them when particularly distressed. [[FridgeLogic How he doesn't tear through them when he got his claws back as part of his repairs is a mystery.]]

* LeeroyJenkins: It's ''Foxy''. Charging problems head-on is the only way he knows how to deal with them. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Often with downright catastrophic results.]] In particular, his shenanigans get him locked out of Hickory Dickory's Funcade and Jeremy locked inside with five hostile animatronics, it gets him trapped and almost burned alive in [[spoiler:Chance's deathtrap]], it causes him to reveal to Charlie that he and Marionette are [[spoiler:William Afton's sons as he attacks Chance]], and finally, he [[spoiler:earns Fazbear Entertainment sympathy from the public and his own restaurant attracts Detective Burke's suspicions when he breaks into the Pizzaplex to try and vandalize it]].

* RelationshipUpgrade: With Jeremy Fitzgerald. Quickly being fond of him, as Jeremy already thinks Foxy is his "favorite", the two fast become close friends, although at one point it becomes clear both would want to become more. It's Foxy who makes the first move after almost dying in the fake pizzeria fire at the end of ''Can't Go Home Again'', with Jeremy gladly accepting.

* TheUnfavorite: Of the Afton children. Michael was the first, Elizabeth was spoiled near-rotten, and Marion got a lot of care, which only fueled his resentment towards all three of them. It took being stabbed in the back and killed by [[spoiler:his father]], possessing an animatronic body, and reconnecting with his siblings to realize it wasn't their fault at all, but [[spoiler:William's]].
* VoiceChangeling: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Foxy starts off speaking using his pre-recorded lines. It's when he starts speaking himself again through his voice box that he can vocalize properly, but that leaves him unable to copy other people's voices like his brother.
** Seen that he can go back to his "real" voice at the drop of an hat, and a conversation at Mike's house reveals he puts his pirate accent on top of another accent, it can be presumed Foxy cannot copy nor imitate voices.

!!Ennard the Clown[=/=]"The Hurricane Clown" [[spoiler:(Benedict Hansberry)]]

\\

* AmbiguousGender: Ennard starts as an "it" at first, as it's not clear exactly if he's even alive. It then becomes "they", once it's revealed he's seemingly composed by three male animatronics and two female ones. He briefly pretends to be Baby to get out of ARI, only to return to the abandoned building upon being found out, where he rejects Baby. Afterwards, he clearly becomes a "he". [[spoiler:After all, his soul is a man's.]]

* BigEater: More than Foxy, and that's saying something. Ennard chows down actual food, helped by the fact that it somewhat has somewhere to go (his wires, which Scott routinely needs to clean). [[spoiler:Ends up being {{Foreshadowing}}, as only animatronics possessed by human souls can taste, and it's revealed Ennard is one as well.]]

** A ''literal' case, as he was born as [[IAmLegion a mish-mash of the Funtimes and Baby]], with the latter going her own way after their second attempt at escaping failed, upon which Ennard came to be as his own, separate self.
** Furthermore, ''Almost Feels Like Home'' reveals [[spoiler:a connection between Eggs Benedict and himself. He ''is'' Eggs Benedict. Michael merely held onto his HandUnit during his five days working in Circus Baby's Pizza World, as a memento of a friend he believed to be gone]].
** He's this with Molten Freddy as well, - in the original games, Molten Freddy is technically still Ennard, albeit without Baby and most of his sanity. Here, [[spoiler: Molten Freddy is what remains of Funtime Freddy after he separated from Ennard, with the two being separate characters]].
* DiscOneFinalBoss: The last major threat of the first half of the story, as well as the threat that causes Marion to realize his feelings for Mike and for the two to get together.

** To Marionette. Both are animatronics themed around entertainers, with Ennard passively resembling a clown, whilst Marionette is a cross between a jack-in-the-box, a mime and a jester, and both become romantically involved with a former Freddy's security guard, which eventually blossoms into a relationship. However, Mari is calm, soft-spoken, and speaks with his natural voice, which is described as being light and inoffensive. He [[spoiler:died as a human child and grew up an animatronic]], and needs to gradually be coaxed into being more sociable and open. By contrast, Ennard is loud, bombastic, speaks with a voice that isn't his natural one ([[spoiler:at least usually]]), [[spoiler:and died as an adult technician, losing his memories as he possessed his new form]]. Moreso, he wants to interact with far more people, but his programming is a constant obstacle to it.
** To Baby. Both are meant to be clowns, both are later-generation Afton Robotics designs, both have programming problems that make them dangerous around people much to their own frustration, [[spoiler:both take great strides in improving themselves as people]], and [[spoiler:both live with Scott by the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home'']]. However, whereas Ennard enjoys messing with people with no real ill will or desire, is overly confident in his step [[spoiler:to an almost suicidal degree (as shown in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' and ''Going Home In A Box'']], and actively tries to find positives, Baby is still aggressive, tends to be more hesitant in planning out her actions before carrying them out, and tends to be a lot more negative.

* BadBoss: Double subverted. The reason why William kept getting away with everything he did was because of his unrivaled charisma and capacity to pick the perfect targets, as well as emotionally manipulating everyone around him, like Scott. As such, he never came across as an awful boss, either as himself or as Fredrick Fazzman. In reality, William didn't care about anyone but Henry, and forced Fritz to take his sweet time in taking Scott out of the suit he was stuffed in to intimidate him into silence.

* DemonicPossession: An ability he gained after his human death and possession of a modem of his creation in the basement. He's capable of using the phone lines to influence people's thoughts and gradually corrupt them, if not straight-up take control of them. The end of ''Almost Feels Like Home'' reveals that, whilst he relies on the phone lines for a sure-fire way, he can spread his influence through radio waves, as he tries to do to Charlie, Scott, and Baby.

* FalseFriend: To everyone he ever met. This includes Henry Johnson, Scott Caldwell (with whom he was in a relationship), Mike Schmidt, Fritz Smith, Glenn Voroff and Chance Johnson.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Everything our protagonists face in ''Can't Go Home Again'' is a result of his actions, be it Springtrap (his much-maligned older son, whom he indirectly caused to be scooped and later locked into the suit), Ennard (a former technician who worked for his animatronics factory and who was scooped by his daughter out of desperation), the Hickory Dickory's animatronics (the former Toy animatronics, scrapped after Mangle bit Jeremy and driven mad by having forcefully undergone concept unification), Chance Johnson(another former technician who worked for him, the father of his business partner whom he accidentally killed) or Golden Freddy (Henry Johnson).

* IHaveNoSon: Repeatedly. Disowned Michael when the two were still human, disowns Elizabeth when she refuses to kill Charlie, disowns Marion by implying he isn't his real father.
* KarmaHoudini: Killed dozens of children, including his own family, caused the deaths of various security guards under his employment, ruined lots of lives and continued to hunt Hurricane's nightmares... only to die of an heart attack, completely free of any punishment.

* SoulJar: His soul possessed a modem of his creation in order to continue his work undisturbed by possessing others. Whilst having its perks, it's a lot less durable than the animatronic bodies, and he's at the mercy of whoever holds the modem. When Mike found it and smashed it to pieces, it was all over for William.

* TheVirus: Fittingly, his possession manifests itself as physical illness, with fever, sinus inflammation, coughing, and later white splotches on the skin. In its final stage, William is capable of causing heart failure in those he's possessing. He successfully manages to kill Dave Miller this way, whilst Glenn Voroff and Detective Burke survive.

** Tries this again immediately afterwards on Baby, trying to get her to break Charlie's body to release her soul and tempting her by promising her a role as an headliner. [[CallingTheOldManOut Liz sees right through his lies and temptations, and reiterates her love for Charlie, breaking her wrist to protect her from her father.]]

* HomicideMachines: It ''actively seeks out humans to kill'' during the night shift, and influences the other robots in the showcase to patrol the area and set traps.

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:Mike is horrified when he sees Marionette apologize to them for "running away", since he catches on really quickly that these are the animatronics from the Pizzeria before his time.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Courtesy of William Afton, the closer the time gets to the end of the night shift, the crazier they become.]]

* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:The Toy Animatronics]] were re-outfitted for the Funcade with new bodies and programming. It did nothing to soothe the angry souls still inside those husks.

'''Chauncey "Chance" Evans''' [[spoiler:'''Johnson''', Henry's father]], a former technician for the Freddy's chain [[spoiler:who worked under both his son and his partner, William Afton]]. He knows the animatronics are alive and is trying to release the souls inside of them... Whether they want it or not.

* CoolOldGuy: He's well into his sixties by the time of the plot, and is still a very capable technician. [[spoiler:Enough to rig an entire building to become a giant furnace to burn down animatronics and any humans from Freddy's who he thinks deserve to die alongside him.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Like the games' Cassette Man, he wants to die and free the souls from their animatronic bodies, allowing them to move on after lives filled with tragedy and despair. ''Unlike'' the games, however, Chance is doing it out of a twisted sense of entitlement and perverted justice, and the animatronics want to continue living their lives as if they were still uhman, something he cannot accept. In the sequel, he desperately begs to be destroyed once it's revealed his soul is now inside Lefty, which denied him of even his own, personal death.]]

* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:To [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator Pizzeria Simulator's]] "Cassette Man". In the game, the animatronics were near-mindless monsters, the souls inhabiting them fully overtaken by anger and vengeance to the point of murdering anyone who fit the criteria of their killer's basic appearance... or unrepetant murderers. Here, the animatronics regained their sanity, embraced their humanity once again, and went to great lengths to make up for what they did in their quest for vengeance, some managing to abandon it in exchange for near-normal lives. Chance's plan, thus, morphs into the mass murder of innocent victims, some of whom would die a ''second time'', all out of a desire to rid the world of Freddy's legacy permanently.]]
** [[spoiler:He's also this to Mike Schmidt in the Home series. The two are heavily involved in the tragedies caused by Afton and Freddy's, but Mike keeps their secret to protect them and treats them like the humans they are. Mike doesn't want to bury the past, but carry on and fix what can still be fixed. Chance, instead, dehumanizes the animatronics at every given moment, putting himself on a pedestal above them in the process, and constantly tries to destroy the past, believing it is best left forgotten.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:As revealed by Charlie come ''Almost Feels Like Home'', behind the mourning façade, Chance was always absent in the Johnson family's life, never helping Henry with Sammy's disappearance, and focusing exclusively on his son's death above everyone else's... to the point he was ready to kill some of those very same people ''again'' in Henry's name. He at least admits to it, even if he needs to be metaphorically beaten over the head with it repeatedly beforehand.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Springtrap drags him into the fire he caused so both will die together. And as it turns out, his soul is now trapped inside the same device he made to trap the Puppet.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Like in ''Pizzeria Simulator'', he's meant to burn down the pizzeria so he can bring peace to the souls within the animatronics as well as himself. Unlike Cassette Man, however, Chance is pulling a murder-suicide.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:His fake pizzeria trap was originally supposed to have Scott as the "security guard" to burn with the animatronics, but he decided against it because, in his mind, Scott is already too shaken by his experience to deserve death on top of everything else. Given Chance's portrayal, however, this could be CruelMercy.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Revealing his involvement in the plot in detail basically gives away the ending and the deeper plot points it tackles.

Throughout the fanfic, a strange phenomenon starts haunting the warehouse given to Fritz in Fredrick Fazzman's will, turning the place into a cold storage for parts and making things move on their own. [[spoiler:This is none other than '''Henry Emily Johnson''', William Afton's former business partner and co-founder of the Freddy's brand, killed in a springlock suit accident. His soul possessed the suit, however, allowing him to survive and take the mantle of '''"Golden Freddy"'''. In the years following the accident he became a mentor and boss to the other animatronics, leading them in revenge against their murderer. Marionette claims he moved on alongside the others when Michael Afton tore them apart... and then, Mike starts seeing a bipedal bear made out of wires around town...]]

* BearsAreBadNews: [[spoiler:The trope fully comes into play with the reveal that the "entity" is Henry, who took up the mantle of Golden Freddy.]]

* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:An interesting case. Henry truly cared about the animatronics, and took all of them under his wings, acting like a father figure, but their constant failure in killing the real Purple Man, combined with his own slipping sanity, lead him to manipulate them without even realizing it. Best exemplified by his friendship with Marion, as he truly cares about him, but his behaviour and attempts at murdering him and Mike almost cause everythign to fall apart. Henry ultimately apologizes before moving on, and reiterates what he said upon reappearing in ''Almost Feels Like Home'']].
* ChekhovsGun: The warehouse becomes haunted early on in the plot, as the driving force that gets Foxy relocated and starting the idea of opening a restaurant for him and Marionette. By the time [[spoiler:Chance's]] part of the plot is done with, the fanfic is close to the end and the warehouse is the only plot point left unfinished.

* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:Started the trend of pursuing security guards and killing them in order to hurt the business after William took it from him, no matter how involved these people were in Afton's real schemes, meaning that several innocent guards just doing their jobs might've been killed before. This also applies to Mike, who Henry sees as continuing William's legacy.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:To Marionette, both in life and post-mortem. In life, he was very close to Marion and greatly enjoyed their time together, and he stuck around even after death by bonding to the young boy's Fredbear plushie. As Golden Freddy, he was Marionette's mentor and best friend, instructing him on how to catch the security guards and plan ahead for their attacks, acting friendly despite this being the approximate time his authoritative and vengeful emotions started taking hold.]]
* {{Poltergeist}}: Turning the warehouse cold, causing objects to fly all over the place... the presence fits the classical archetype to a T. [[spoiler:Except it isn't ''really'' a poltergeist, but Henry's telepathy at work due to being stuck in storage without a way to move. He shares the same powerset with Marionette.]]

* DemotedToExtra: The main antagonists of their own book, reduced to arc mooks who first appear towards the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home''.
* MechanicalMonster: As with their original appearance, they're malformed, terrifying mock-ups of the originals.

* FauxAffablyEvil: She acts as if she's only playing games and having fun while making it clear she's a deranged psychopath out for blood.
* HairRaisingHare: There's absolutely ''nothing'' cute or even lightly endearing about Vanny. [[spoiler:Her attempts at goading Gregory into following her in particular are terrifying.]]

A music-themed animatronic from Funtime Chica's Party World, an abandoned restaurant in a shopping mall. [[spoiler:He's very much haunted, and develops an unhealthy fixation on Charlie, due to the built-in bells in the Security Puppet.]]

The '''L'''ure '''E'''ncapsulate '''F'''use '''T'''ransport and '''E'''xtract, or LEFTE for short, is a black animatronic bear, found abandoned in the back alley near the site of the new Freddy's. [[spoiler:In reality, the LEFTE unit, or Lefty, was created by Chance Johnson as a way to trap Marionette, exploiting parts of his programming regarding the security bracelets, to make sure he would be unable to interfere with the plan and escape the fake pizzeria as it burned down.]]

\\
[[spoiler:Whilst Lefty's goal failed, as Marionette managed to escape the bear thanks to Ennard's help and foiled Chance's plot, it somehow managed to survive the fire... and became Chance's new body in the process. For tropes regarding him once he re-appears in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', see the Chance Johnson folder.]]

* CompanionCube: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted on the "companion" part]], but Lefty is given plenty of "character" for a suit that is essentially empty, [[spoiler:being the one thing that the Puppet absolutely fears even after escaping it]].
* NotQuiteDead: "Dead" is a stretch, as it wasn't ever alive, [[spoiler:but the suit escapes the fake pizzeria burning and survives into Animatronicon. And as it turns out, it applies to Chance as well, whose soul now possesses the animatronic.]]

A red alligator suit introduced in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', found fishing in an ethereal pond-like location in a dream. [[spoiler:Haunting Mike's dream, and warning him of events to come, it's later revealed he's William Afton, using the form as bait for Mike.]]

[[spoiler:It, too, was created by Afton Robotics, and shares the same wire-based endoskeleton as the Funtimes. First appearing during an excursion into a small theme park by Baby, Scott and Ennard, she ends up ripping her feet off to follow them home. She does it ''again'' upon being thrown in the trash compactor by the gang, finally staying down after being reduced to a liquid puddle inside ARI's incinerator. But what she brought upon them all isn't so easily gotten rid of...]]

* BrutalHonesty: In contrast to her brothers, Baby [[JustForPun doesn't beat around the bush]]. [[spoiler:Particularly, she gives Charlie some strong criticism after their daring raid on Chica's Party World, pointing out that her old life is over and she's never getting her human body back, and that she should start living in accordance to her new body]]. In spite of everything, [[spoiler:Charlie takes those words to heart, and they help her embrace her new life.]]

* RecognizableBySound: Not by voice, which still stands out due to its light robotic reverb compared to every other non-Glamrock animatronic, but by his step, which is loud and distinct enough both Foxy and Vanessa recognize him immediately.]

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Physically the strongest of the Glamrocks, capable of kicking security doors open. He has the threatening presence to back that up, but underneath that, he's similarly concerned about his fellows like Roxy. [[spoiler: Moreso, he proves himself to be gentle, if not a bit dorky, when interacting with Louise, and he managed to befriend Natalie. The worst thing he had to say about Mike when the latter was pretending to be James Wight's son was that his position Similarly to Roxy, he has a scary image and off-putting personality, but he's not that bad a person deep down. [[spoiler:Natalie eventually manages to befriend him, and he seems to want a genuine relationship with Louise.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts aloof and full of herself, but it becomes clear she loves what she does and greatly enjoys making kids happy. She also cares immensely about her bandmates, [[AngerBornOutOfWorry to the point of getting worked up about them whenever they appear to be in danger]].

** He's also a very talented gambler, atleast when playing card games, as proven when he metaphorically mops the floor with Mike whilst the former and Marionette stay over at his apartment for a night.

* GhostAmnesia: Played With; most of the haunted animatronics tend to have varying levels of recollection of their lives before their human deaths. Some, like Marion, recall most of their lives, but have forgotten details. Others, like [[spoiler:Baby]] and [[spoiler:Ennard]], don't even remember having been humans, atleast at first. It's shown, however, that those memories can be regained through interaction and introspection over time. [[spoiler:That's without mentioning how much Golden Freddy's tampering in the pursuit of revenge might have caused those memories to be supressed to begin with, in some cases.]]

** Marionette and Foxy remembered most things, but needed their memories jogged on some key details. Atleast Justified in Marionette's case, as he was eight when the Bite of '87 took place.

* SpoiledBrat: Per Foxy's words, Baby got everything she ever asked when she was Elizabeth, even though she doesn't remember at first. It should be noted that, while Foxy's point of view is by his own admission biased, Marionette gives atleast ''some'' confirmation to it.

* BookDumb: Monty isn't the smartest tool in the shed, atleast at first. He prefers to solve problems by smashing through them or bruteforcing them, and he doesn't have much knowledge over his own attraction's theme. That said, he's a lot more aware than what he appears to be, and frequently talks about workers' plight, arguing against nepotism and poor treatment by the executives and in favour of unions. He also hints of speaking ''some'' French, or at the very least Cajun, judging by his use of terms belonging to the languages.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:He goes from begrudgingly respecting Natalie for treating him with respect, especially when compared to other staff members, to being downright amicable with her after she goes out of her way to give him the means of seeing Louise ago.]]

!!Marionette (Marion Afton)

His real identity is Marion Enoch Afton, William Afton's youngest son, and the victim of the Bite of '87.

!!Foxy the Pirate Fox (Gabriel Afton)

In life, he was Gabriel Afton, the Afton family's second child. After accidentally causing Marion's death by Golden Freddy's maws, Gabriel tried to make things right alongside his friends... only for the Purple Man to kidnap him and take him down to Afton Robotics, where after five nights of surviving the Nightmare animatronics, he was stabbed in the back. Ironically enough, he was saved by Marion, who placed his soul into Foxy's body.

The staff and animatronics who work/reside in the newly-opened Mega Pizzaplex, a massive indoor amusement park and pizza place located just outside of Hurricane. Built with state-of-the-art software and mechanics, the place's performers are also highly intelligent and animated, interacting and talking to guests on their level, despite upper management still treating them like mere robots.

* AmbiguousSituation: If the robots are alive or not. The main cast is led to believe they are because of their level of self-awareness and personality, but it could also be a case of highly-advanced artificial intelligence. [[spoiler:Of the active group, the Daycare Attendant and Glamrock Chica are the only Pizzaplex animatronics fully confirmed to be haunted, with Glamrock Freddy heavily implied to be as well. This, of course, does not account for Jake, who is alive but considered decommissioned.]]

* BearyFriendly: Unlike the last four Freddys, who were antagonistic, insane, programmed to kill, or all three at once, Glamrock Freddy is a [[NiceGuy Nice Guy]], period. [[spoiler:He reaches out to Foxy and befriends him, warns Vanessa of possible dangers and listens to her orders, and protects Gregory with all he's got.]]

* RecognizableBySound: Not by voice, which still stands out due to its light robotic reverb compared to every other non-Glamrock animatronic, but by his step, which is loud and distinct enough both Foxy and Vanessa recognize him immediately.
* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:Has a crush on the Daycare Attendant, who gladly returns his feelings in either form.]]
* ShipTease: Seemingly with Glamrock Chica in-universe, who feels far more at ease when he's around, blows him kisses, and even describes herself as "[[{{Pun}} his chick]]" to Vanessa. Freddy doesn't seem to reciprocate, [[spoiler:and later the two come clean to each other that it's not the case for either, amiccably at least]].

* TraumaButton: [[spoiler:Downplayed, but mentions of rabbits or the Pizzaplex's bowling alley seem to cause him some anguish.]]

* AndIMustScream: After she gets repaired, the technicians removed her voicebox and sealed the mouth hole on her shell so she wouldn't eat or talk again without permission. Even her internal communication system now has a turn limit for how much she can talk to the others.
* BigEater: Compulsively looks for food to gobble down when she's not performing or rehearsing, even if it's from a garbage can or completely expired. [[spoiler:It's implied to be a holdover from when Baby ate her wires when she was an immobile Funtime, trying to fill the void in her with whatever she can find.]]
* BrightIsNotGood: She's brightly-colored and acts all nice when in-character, [[spoiler:but still carries programming that makes her try to hunt down children]].
* ChildHater: A variation; she's the only Glamrock who's openly hostile towards Gregory on sight, actively hunting him down and chasing him with thinly-veiled threats, even hurting his arm after grabbing him once. [[spoiler:This is due to her Funtime programming never having been dealt with before she was remodeled.]]

* EmptyShell: Implied to be the reason she eats so much, wanting to fill a sort of void inside her. [[spoiler:It came to be after Baby ate her wires beforehand, and seeing both her and Ennard again makes her change from wanting pizza to wanting to tear them apart for ''their'' wires.]]
* GirlyGirl: Her style as advertised by the Pizzaplex, as the brightly-colored "cutie" archetype who's full of energy despite how much she loves eating. [[SubvertedTrope In reality]], she might act girly on occasion but it's far from who she really is.
* ShipTease: In-universe, she and Glamrock Freddy are said to have a thing for each other in the Pizzaplex' promotional material, and she does occasionally flirt with Freddy outside of rehearsals if only to match the image. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope After the events in the garbage tunnels]], however, she drops even the pretense of being in love with Freddy. Not that [[StraightGay Freddy himself]] was interested in her like that. That all being said, she seems to now desire Ennard's company after he helped her.]]
* TokenEvilTeammate: "Evil" might be a stretch, but she's the only Glamrock to act fully hostile towards Gregory and even thinly insulting Freddy on one occasion just because he offered an opinion she didn't like. [[spoiler:Being the only Glamrock to have been repurposed from a haunted Funtime with missing inner parts might have something to do with it.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When she's Shattered after falling down the garbage chute, Chica goes completely insane and becomes a full-on predator, the Funtime programming making her chase Gregory obssessively through the underground tunnels until Fritz knocks her out with a taser.]]

The keytar player for the Glamrocks and mascot of Roxy Raceway, a kart racetrack themed after the great outdoors (currently undergoing rennovations). The band's {{Tomboy}}, she's no-nonsense and acts reserved and angry most of the time, with the occasional showcase of gentleness. Seems to have a bit of an ego issue.

* AdaptationalNiceGirl: Not counting the mere fact she's not chasing Gregory around for malicious intent, she also doesn't go around telling someone she never met - a CHILD, no less - that they're "nothing" and that nobody will miss them. Roxy here only chases Gregory because she's doing her job and never says anything so hurtful to him, saving her anger for the human staff and higher-ups.
* ArchEnemy: Severely downplayed, but she's the only one who seems to treat Foxy's as genuine competition to their brand. [[spoiler:Meeting him in person shows they're more like a SitcomArchNemesis duo, trying to one-up each other with SnarkToSnarkCombat.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: Her outfit consists of red and black and even her body has darker shades compared to the other Glamrocks, but she's far from a bad person.
* GoodAllAlong: She's aggressive, but she's not mindless or cruel. She willingly saves a child from a hole that caved in at the raceway, [[spoiler:and even after learning about Gregory, she runs straight ''past'' him to chase off Vanny when she tries to take him away from her and Freddy]].
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Downplayed, but she does sit down in front of her vanity in her green room to tell herself she's good enough and the "best" out of everyone else, so she definitely has some image issues she's compensating for with her bravado.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She acts aloof and full of herself, but it's clear she loves what she does and greatly enjoys making kids happy and hanging out with her bandmates, even if her "tough girl" persona won't let her admit it. [[spoiler:It's how she manages to befriend Cassie and make her birthday better after no one showed up.]]
* SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:She knew about Foxy breaking into the Pizzaplex and that Freddy was seeing him, possibly even seeing Gregory before, but didn't do anything because she could tell Foxy wasn't coming over to do any real damage.]]
* SuperSenses: Roxy has an innate sense of smell, and is later revealed to be able to [[XRayVision see through walls]]. [[spoiler:And past Vanny's camera distortion, as well.]]
* {{Tomboy}}: Darker colors compared to Chica, loves racing and racecars, and likes to act tough and abrasive.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: A far cry from the berserked monster he's portrayed as in the games, even with the mood swings still present.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Natalie-as-Vanessa eventually befriends him just by treating him like an equal and encouraging his efforts to see Louise again. She ends up becoming the only human staff member of the Pizzaplex he doesn't hate.]]
* BerserkButton: Don't ever bring up [[spoiler:Bonnie. Don't ever ''accuse'' him of getting rid of Bonnie]].
** On a general note, he's the most angry when it comes to the human staff treating the animatronics like assets instead of intelligent beings, even mentioning they should [[WeirdTradeUnion unionize against them]].
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: Similarly to Roxy, he has a scary image and off-putting personality, but he's not that bad a person deep down. [[spoiler:Natalie eventually manages to befriend him, and he seems to want a genuine relationship with Louise.]]
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: [[spoiler:Starts flirting with Louise when she visits Monty Golf with Natalie and Ness. He even gets her into the Pizzaplex during after hours just so they can hang out in his green room alone.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: Implied to have been the case with [[spoiler:Bonnie, the bassist before him. In fact, Monty gets truly pissed off when Moon accuses him of killing Bonnie just to get his spot in the band, but a flashback shows that their relationship was indeed not the most stable]].
* MoodSwinger: Usually quiet and to himself, Monty can break into wild thrashing in certain occasions. The first thing Foxy heard from him when [[spoiler:he invaded the Pizzaplex the first time around]] was a series of loud noises like slamming and breaking, which was all Monty ''tearing up his green room''.

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:Dearly loves Freddy, and the feeling is very much mutual.]]

[[folder:Queen Beelora]]

A bee-themed ballerina animatronic who supervises the Hive Arcade, a special location for VIP members of the Pizzaplex that's located near the West Arcade. Foxy and Gregory stumble into her "home" and find out she's a little ''too'' fond of visitors.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:She somehow seems to know who Jeremy is, despite him never even hearing about her before visiting her arcade.]]
* AnimalMotifs: Naturally bees, with Beelora herself as the queen for her many "Babee" subordinates.
* CanonForeigner: Created specifically for the fanfic, as there's no Ballora variant in ''Security Breach''.
* GoMadFromTheIsolation: Since she runs a VIP section, very few people come to the Hive Arcade, and even less people notice her as a result. [[spoiler:It's part of why she's so clingy when she finally gets visitors, and even after they manage to set a few limits it's clear this trait hasn't quite gone away.]]
* NotGoodWithRejection: She doesn't take it well at first when [[spoiler:Foxy and Gregory tell her they need to leave the arcade and gets more and more agitated until Foxy manages to talk her down, promising they'll visit. The fact they do good on their word eventually makes her subvert the trope and be more accepting]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her "Babees", described as little UFO-like bees that make cute "buzz-buzz" vocalizations. [[spoiler:Jeremy tries and fails to earn one in the arcade.]]
* VerbalTic: Inserting "bee" into words in any way possible.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Charlie's group of friends]], teenagers from Washington County who are dragged into the world of haunted animatronics due to a combined desire of finding the truth over their friend's death and having justice be delivered. They are '''John''', Charlie's [[spoiler:ex-]]boyfriend, '''Jessica''', her best friend from childhood, ''Carlton'', Detective Clay's son, '''Marla''', Carlton's girlfriend, and '''Lamar''', a mutual friend.

!!Marionette [[spoiler:(Marion Afton)]]

[[spoiler:His real identity is Marion Enoch Afton, spoiler: William Afton's youngest son, and the victim of the Bite of '87.]]

!!Foxy the Pirate Fox [[spoiler:(Gabriel Afton)]]

In life, he was [[spoiler:Gabriel Afton, the Afton family's second child.]] After accidentally causing Marion's death by Golden Freddy's maws, [[spoiler:Gabriel]] tried to make things right alongside his friends... only for the Purple Man to kidnap him and take him down to Afton Robotics, where after five nights of surviving the Nightmare animatronics, he was stabbed in the back. Ironically enough, he was saved by Marion, who placed his soul into Foxy's body.

!!Ennard the Clown [[spoiler:(Benedict Hansberry)]]

[[folder:Glamrock Freddy]]
!!Glamrock Freddy Fazbear
!!!'''Debut''': ''Going Home In A Box''

A brand new, state-of-the-art animatronic developed by the reborn Fazbear Entertainment, visibly improving on the technology developed by Afton Robotics Industries. [[TheFace The headliner]] of the Pizzaplex, as well as leader and vocalist of its [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin glamrock band of animatronics]]. There is far more to him than what meets the eye, however.

* ShipTease: Seemingly with Glamrock Chica, who feels far more at ease when he's around, blows him kisses, and even describes herself as "his [[JustForPun chick]]" to Vanessa. Freddy doesn't seem to reciprocate.

[[folder:The Daycare Attendant]]
!!The Daycare Attendant [[spoiler:Andrew]]

The eccentric animatronic in charge of the Pizzaplex's daycare facility, fashioned after a smiling sun-and-moon-themed jester figure whose personality shifts depending on whether or not the lights are on: the excitable and bouncy Sun when the lights are on, and the sneaky vigilant Moon when the lights are off.

\\
[[spoiler:He was one of William Afton's victims who Marionette saved by placing his soul in an animatronic.]]

* AscendedExtra: Has two attractions to his name, one being the Daycare and the other a bouncy castle-like structure themed after his Moon form. [[spoiler:It's a ''bit'' more complicated than that, as Sun and Moon were meant to be separate animatronics and, thus, he was supposed to only have the bouncy castle to his name.]]
* ForcedSleep: Has access to this in his Moon form. Although it's not fully understood how, he's capable of lulling animatronics in a trance before commanding them to shut down. [[spoiler:It doesn't work either time he tried it, with Charlie shaking it off with ease, and... ''something'' causing Monty to break free of it in a rage.]]
* FragileSpeedster: The Attendant is the most agile animatronic known so far alongside Roxy, and his agility is only amplified thanks to a cable system within the Daycare. However, this came at the price of durability, as his body is built using lightweight, fragile materials. [[spoiler:Monty breaks his casing and renders one of his arms useless by plowing into him at full speed just once.]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Hoo boy, what doesn't set him off?
** Breaking the Daycare's rules, even when trivial or made up on the spot by him.
** Turning the lights off.
** Any kind of action he deems dangerous or reckless applies, really.
** [[spoiler:The Puppets' mere existence is one at first. Justified by the fact that he was one of children killed by William Afton and saved by Marionette, something he has had trouble accepting or understanding. He finally lets it go after an entire decade when he and Marionette talk it out.]]
** [[spoiler:Anything that puts Jake in any danger, full stop.]]
* JekyllAndHyde: The Attendant has two forms, Sun and Moon, that he switches in-between depending on the amount of light at any given moment. It's a key characteristic of his that is constantly invoked by everyone else.
** That said, what is actually going on is... ''complicated'', to say the least. [[spoiler:The Attendant's actions might lead one to think that Sun and Moon are wholly separate identities at first, but it becomes immediately apparent that he's fully aware and remembers everything that happened in the other form. Once he's gotten more comfortable with Gregory, it's revealed that the two forms have differing personalities, the Sun being more jovial and dramatic whilst the Moon is more down-to-earth and serious, but Andrew is always in full control of himself. It's later revealed that this is caused by the two forms' conflicting programming, as Fazbear Entertainment forcefully reprogrammed him to play both roles after Jake was scrapped.]]
* LargeHam: Every single word he utters as the Sun feels like he's ChewingTheScenery, although this is downplayed with Moon, who is normally more of a ColdHam, but is capable of hamming it up as normal.
* {{Tsundere}}: Towards ''everyone''. His strictness and control freak nature make way for a strong dedication towards those he considers friends or feels like he has a duty towards to uphold.

!Supporting Characters
[[folder:Chrissy]]
!!Chrissy
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again''

A little girl from Hurricane, who first met Marionette when he peered into her bedroom's window, scaring her. She later became a regular at Foxy's, and a friend of Marionette.

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: No one inside Foxy's objects to her presence and friendship with Marionette, and she's always shown to be nice, polite and smart enough to catch on quickly to what happens around her.
** That said, she hasn't figured out what happened to Charlie and that she and Lottie are the same person... yet.
* BirthdayHater: Not her birthday ''itself'', mind you, but she doesn't like parties with lots of people in them, and wanted her birthday to be at Mari's "home" in the pizzeria. [[MyBelovedSmother Her mother thinks differently, however.]]
* BreakTheCutie: Twice over the course of the trilogy. [[SubvertedTrope In spite of it, she manages to bounce back remarkably well.]]
** [[spoiler:Almost killed by Ennard disguising himself as Baby]] in ''Can't Go Home Again'', only saved by the staff's timely intervention.
** [[spoiler:Kidnapped and held hostage by a possessed Dave Miller]] in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', saved by the combined efforts of Mike, Marionette, Foxy, [[spoiler:and Charlie]].
* DamselInDistress: As mentioned above, Chrissy has ended up in danger on a couple of occasions, which required Foxy's crew to save her.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With the Foxy's Pirate Cove Pizzeria crew, who are all one generation removed from her at the very least. Even Marionette, her closest friend, turns twenty by the end of ''Can't Go Home Again''.

[[folder:Isabelle Schmidt]]
!!Isabelle Schmidt
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again''

Mike's mother. A recovering alcoholic, she was one of the main reasons why Mike ran away from home and fled to Hurricane a few years before the events of the trilogy, reappearing a few months after Foxy's opening.

* TheAlcoholic: Was this after her husband's passing. This, combined with the lack of support from the rest of her family, caused Mike to run away from home.
** RecoveredAddict: Has stopped drinking by the time of ''Can't Go Home Again'', although it takes Mike a while to believe her.
* BrokenMasquerade: [[spoiler:After Mike and Marionette partially admitted parts of the truth to her -- namely, the two were in a romantic relationship and the latter's real name was Marion -- the former decides to stop hiding and reveals the truth about the animatronics to her. It takes a moment, but Isabelle is surprisingly accepting, and even begins doting on Marionette by the time of ''Almost Feels Like Home'']].
* ParentalSubstitute: Discussed. Mike muses on the possibility that Marionette hopes Isabelle can be this for him, having never met his own mother. Played Straight once Isabelle learns of the truth, as she even shows up for his twentieth birthday at the end of ''Can't Go Home Again''.

[[folder:Louise Morris]]
!!Louise Morris
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again''

A waitress at a local diner who meets Mike after a rough night. She becomes associated with Foxy's Pirate Cove through her mother, Tabby, who volunteers to work as a cook there, becoming a waitress for the new location.

* AscendedExtra: Started out as a potential love interest of Mike in ''Can't Go Home Again'', and was brought on-board as a waitress for Foxy's in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', accidentally discovering the restaurant's hidden truth but nothing much beyond that. She plays a far more important role in ''Going Home In A Box'', as she shows up far more regularly and helps out the rest of the crew in investigating the Pizzaplex. [[spoiler:She also becomes a potential love interest to ''Monty'', of all people, causing him to doubt his past actions and further rebel against his "owners"]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She has no prior involvement with Freddy's whatsoever, and is the only one of the group who doesn't know the animatronics are alive yet. She starts to see it in the Halloween party in the sequel and Mike even approaches her about it, but it's clear she's still getting used to the idea when she has to stay with the full group for a while.

[[folder:Tabitha Morris]]
!!Tabitha "Tabby" Morris
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again''

Louise's mother, a former cook and waitress for Hickory, Dickory and Doc's Funcade who starts working at Foxy's as a cook.

* CoolOldLady: Downplayed, at least on the "Old" part. Tabby works in a restaurant alongside animatronics possessing human souls, and she ''could not care less'', merely treating it as part of the job. She also stood up to Detective Burke during the Halloween party in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', calling him terrible at his job in the process.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Already suspected there to be more about the animatronics when he heard the guards talk with them through the walls, and had her suspicions confirmed when he saw Marionette hang out with Chrissy by a playground. She didn't bring it up and continued to work diligently, though: she needs the paycheck.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Works at Foxy's, is in on its big secret, and yet continues to work dilligently as a cook in spite of it.
** Played For Laughs in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' when Mike and Marionette begin dancing during the Halloween party, nonchalantly telling her daughter to let the security guard be... before pointing out no one else would dance with him due to the "costume" he's wearing.

[[folder:Glenn Voronoff]]
!!Glenn Voronoff
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again''

Owner of Chipper and Son's Lumber Co., a failing animatronic showroom and theatre formerly associated with Freddy's. An old acquaintance of Fritz, who worked on his animatronics as part of his apprenticeship. Later remodels his business into El Chip's Fiesta Buffet, a much more successful all-you-can-eat Mexican-style animatronic restaurant.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: At first, Glenn appears to be envious of more successful businesses, and his showroom houses a robot with very aggressive programming. He keeps it even after turning Chipper's into El Chip's and turning his business around, and baits Fritz into being locked inside to allow said bot to kill him. On both occassions, Glenn tries to make up for it, but it's never clear if he's being honest or just making up an excuse on the fly, even if it's very convincing and disconcerting. [[spoiler:Subverted by the ending of ''Almost Feels Like Home'', as it's revealed he was possessed by William Afton, which is why he retained the Lumber Bot Maximum and tried to kill Fritz.]]

[[folder:Clay Burke]]
!!Police Chief Clay Burke
!!!'''Debut''': ''Almost Feels Like Home''

The police chief of Hurricane. Head of the original investigation into the Missing Children's incident at Freddy's, he reopens the investigation after the events at Magictime Theatre, believing to have found a new lead.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:One of the many victims of William Afton's possessions, who plants thoughts into his head about the Freddy's case and overlays Mike's voice over his own in his memories, making Mike appear to be the Purple Man.]]
* CanonImmigrant: Reprises his role from the books, albeit to a lesser degree, in a continuity that combines elements from most forms of [=FNaF=] media.
* DaChief: Police chief of the HPD, and fits most of the trope's characterizing elements. In a bit of a twist, he's also far more involved in actively investigating cases that end up on his desk than the average chief, causing him to be often referred to merely as "Detective".
* InspectorJavert: Still driven to solve the Missing Children case after a decade. This leads him to start putting his hooks into Foxy's, on the sole basis that its animatronics originally performed at Freddy's and its owners worked there as well. He grills Fritz and Scott at the Halloween party in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', and it takes the combined efforts of Tabby and Carlton to make him leave.
** Escalated as he devises a trap at an old Fazbear Incorporated Processing Plant towards the end of the book to make Mike confess to a crime he never committed. [[spoiler:His behaviour was wholly caused by William Afton, as he comes down his paranoid high and apologizes afterwards.]]
* MoreThanMindControl: [[spoiler:What his possession by William Afton boils down to; all the Purple Man had to do was leverage on his pre-existing frustration and paranoia, before pointing him towards Mike by manipulating his dreams.]]
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Usually, as demonstrated in the ending of ''Almost Feels Like Home'' and ''Going Home In A Box''.
* ThatOneCase: The Missing Children case still haunts him after a decade, [[spoiler:giving William Afton an easy hook to influence and eventually possess him.]] [[spoiler:Upon recovering, he finally closes the case, realizing he can't prosecute a soul, least of which one currently [[FateWorseThanDeath being tortured for eternity.]]]]
** Played for laughs with the "Hurricane Clown" case. Clay, in spite of [[spoiler:his memory being spotty post-possession]], figures out that [[spoiler:the clown in question is another haunted animatronic associated with Foxy's crew, and orders them to keep him under control]]. Scott later comes clean to him about it, but the case still pops up on his desk semi-regularly, much to his chagrin.

[[folder:Charlie's Friends]]
!!John, Jessica, Carlton Burke, Marla, Lamar
!!!'''Debut''': ''Almost Feels Like Home''


[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Charlie's group of friends]], teenagers from Washington County who are dragged into the world of haunted animatronics due to a combined desire of finding the truth over their friend's death and having justice be delivered. They are '''John''', Charlie's [[spoiler:ex-]]boyfriend, '''Jessica''', her best friend from childhood, ''Carlton'', Detective Clay's son, '''Marla''', Carlton's girlfriend, and '''Lamar''', a mutual friend.

* AscendedExtra: Carlton [[spoiler:goes from being the most focused on member of the band to being promoted to a more important role in ''Going Home In A Box'', being hired by Foxy's as their new janitor.]]
* CanonImmigrant: They all come from the book series, with their roles slightly altered.
* DemotedToExtra: From main characters in the books, to supporting cast who appears thrice in ''Almost Feels Like Home''.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Charlie is this to John, dating her at the time of her death.]] [[spoiler:Even after revealing herself to be still alive as an animatronic, Charlie wonders if she can pick up where they left off, due to Jessica now being his girlfriend, but ultimately realizes their story was never going to work and splits amicably with him come ''Going Home In A Box''.]]
* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Charlie lets them in on why the animatronics are so life-like -- in that they ''are'' alive, their bodies possessed by human souls, knowing they wouldn't dare to put her at risk. She turns out to be correct.]]

[[folder:Springtrap]]
!!Springtrap [[spoiler:(Michael Afton)]]
!!!'''Debut''': ''Almost Feels Like Home''

A decaying rabbit animatronic found in a sealed room in the back of the abandoned Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, awakened as the security guards and Marionette try to move Foxy out of there. In reality, it's a springlock suit that malfunctioned, crushing its wearer inside and still having their dead body rotting within.

\\
A wearer that was already supposed to be dead, mind you. [[spoiler:The one in the suit is '''Michael Afton''', the eldest Afton child, who was the second technician scooped in Afton Robotics, [[AndIMustScream alive through-out the entire ordeal]], rejecting the animatronics wearing him like a skinsuit after a week. He stumbled into Freddy's to take apart the animatronics there, only to end up locked into the Spring Bonnie suit, which he then proceeded to possess.]]

* BerserkButton: If at first it's hard to discern what exactly angers Springtrap, ''Almost Feels Like Home'' reveals [[spoiler:Ennard to be one for him, pinning Benedict Hansberry's death on the amalgam. Except Ennard ''is'' Ben.]] That button later changes to [[spoiler:Ennard's pointless risk-taking, as shown when he almost freezes to death in the opening chapters of ''Going Home In A Box'']]. Beyond that, Springtrap does ''not'' like being touched.
* BodyHorror: Just like in the games, there's a rotting body inside the springlock suit. [[spoiler:Most of it is removed and buried by the Foxy's crew in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' to repair Springtrap's wiring problems, but most of the head is still jammed in there.]]
* EnemyMine: With Ennard, first to prove that [[spoiler:he's really Michael Afton, and then to escape ARI and what remains of the Funtime animatronics]]. With the reveal that [[spoiler:Ennard is his former best friend, Benedict Hansberry]], the situation resolves itself peacefully.
* {{Jerkass}}: Comes across as one at first, attacking anything blindly and refusing to listen to the others, even when [[spoiler:they're trapped in a burning pizzeria]]. It isn't until his own survival is at risk that Springtrap starts collaborating. [[spoiler:In ''Almost Feels Like Home'', he invades the homes of Henry Johnson, Mike Schmidt and Fritz Smith instead of trying to approach them peacefully, and kidnaps Fritz to hold him as a hostage in order to be repaired.]]
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Grows into this upon being repaired and shown genuined kindness for the first time in years, actively caring for [[spoiler:his siblings and Ennard]]. He will call out the latter over his stupidity at times, but it's clear that [[AngerBornOfWorry he does so because he cares about him.]]
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: [[MythologyGag Well, it ''is'' Springtrap, he does have a penchant for always coming back]]. To wit, he survived having his main cables cut off by Mike, a burning building caving in on itself, and an entire year of hiding in the sewers.
** [[spoiler:Special mentions to what he went through before becoming Springtrap, as he somehow survived ''being scooped and worn by Ennard for an entire week'' before rejecting him and dragging his failing body into Freddy's, where he ended up in the Spring Bonnie suit after trying to tear the animatronics there apart.]]
* NotQuiteDead: Mike cutting off the main wires from his neck only kept him down temporarily, as he showed up in the fake pizzeria towards the end of ''Can't Go Home Again''.
** And again in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', [[spoiler:having survived the fire barely worse for wear and with none of his strength sapped]]. [[WordOfGod Word of God]] later revealed that Springtrap is capable of overriding his shutdown, unlike any other animatronic, making him near impossible to keep down.
* UnstoppableRage: His default state. Justified in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', [[spoiler:as the pain of his damaged wiring and springlocks seizing was becoming unbearable]]. He gets better after being repaired.
* WhamLine: Delivers a whopper line before [[spoiler:[[TakingYouWithMe dragging Chance Johnson into his own burning death trap]]]] in order to prove he isn't [[spoiler:William Afton]].
-->'''[[spoiler:IT WASN'T ME.]]'''

[[folder:Jeremy's Animatronics]]
After their first visit to ARI, Jeremy took one of the Minireenas home with him, naming her '''Daisy''', alongside the animatronic they went to get in the first place, '''Max''', a magician doll who used to be a neighborhood bully Marionette knew. Jeremy ends up adopting the remaining Minireenas when he goes back for them, naming them '''Rose''', '''Forget-Me-Not''' and '''Lilium''', as well as taking in a modified '''Balloon Boy''', two Bidybabs (who now go by the names of '''Bow''' and '''Button'''), and '''Plushtrap''', a plush-sized version of Spring Bonnie, after saving them from the fake pizzeria fire.

!!General tropes
* AffectionateNickname: The Bidybabs start referring to Jeremy as "Daddy" later on.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: All of them stay with Jeremy because he showed them kindness and actually treated them like human beings, [[spoiler:which they all were]], with Plushtrap and Balloon Boy in particular hanging around because Jeremy offered them a new home. They still stay with him [[spoiler:even after his apartment is destroyed by a tornado in ''Almost Feels Like Home'']], considering themselves family.
* TheQuietOne: Plushtrap and the Minireenas seem unable to speak, although they can still express their feelings through certain sounds. Plushtrap is shown to be capable of laughing, whilst the Minireenas giggle or grunt depending on their mood.
* UglyCute: [[InvokedTrope Invoked in-universe]]. Others tend to point out they're all different levels of unsettling, especially Max and Balloon Boy. Jeremy loves them as a family all the same.

!!Tropes related to the Minireenas
* CharacterTics: They can giggle and grunt to express what they feel.
* DaddysGirl: They're by far Jeremy's favorites, obviously barring Foxy, and the ones he's the closest to having an acutal father-daughter relation with.
* FloralThemeNaming: Daisy, Rose, Forget-Me-Not and Lilium.
* OlderThanTheyLook: The Minireenas act like small kids most of the time, but [[spoiler:it's revealed that their actual age is closer to the mid-teens in ''Almost Feels Like Home'']]. It's likely that only living to perform and obey Ballora's orders massively stunted their development.
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler:All four were children when they were killed, as shown during Jeremy's possession.]]

!!Tropes related to Max the Magician
* TheBully: Max used to be a bully who picked on Marion Afton when both were human children. At one point, he was taken down in Afton Robotics by the Purple Man and killed, and his soul inhabited the Magician's body.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very rare for Max to not be sarcastic or pepper his speech with jabs at anyone in his sight.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather mean-spirited, often making comments aimed exclusively at getting under people's skin, but he's thankful to Marionette for having saved him from ARI, treats Jeremy with the utmost respect, and often gives helpful advice. Case in point, he's the one to tell Jeremy to not use Ballora's song to approach the Minireenas, and is repeatedly warning the guards about Baby in ''Can't Go Home Again''.
** Again in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', as he often makes snide remarks about Foxy's and Jeremy's relationship, but is the first one to bring up the latter's family issues to the former, [[spoiler:and openly thanks Foxy for saving all of them when William Afton was trying to possess Jeremy, willingly letting go of a decade-long grudge towards the Aftons to do so]].
* MysteriousPast: Next to nothing is known about Max other than being one of Marion's old bullies. He's long discarded his human name, having accepted being Max much like Foxy, but he implies [[spoiler:he knew Gabriel years ago]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: A verbal case. [[spoiler:Telepathically scolds and taunts Chance as most of the cast takes shelter from an hurricane, throwing back at him what he said to the other animatronics the night he tried to burn them alive. Chance doesn't even manage to retort, as Fritz shuts him off as he had previously requested.]]
* TheQuietOne: Unless he's alone with the person he wants to talk to, Max is content to stay quiet and observe.

!!Tropes related to Balloon Boy
* BodyHorror: "Concept Unification" is described as stripping an animatronic to their endoskeleton and applying a new suit to them. [[WordOfGod Word Of God]] revealed, however, that animatronics gain feeling in the parts they wear over time, down to their suits, meaning that he and the Toy Animatronics were essentially skinned alive and then put in a new skin.
* FairytaleMotifs: After having undergone Concept Unification, his new suit is made out of wood and described as "Pinocchio-esque". It's not exactly known what Hickory Dickory's had in mind for him, since [[spoiler:the rest of the Toys]] were modified after nursery rhymes.
* HeelFaceTurn: Apparently decided staying with Jeremy wasn't a bad idea, despite him being the security guard present when BB was still active.
* SoleSurvivor: Alongside Marionette, the only one of the Toy Animatronics to not move on. [[spoiler:More pointedly, the only one to not lose his remaining sanity upon undergoing Concept Unification.]]
* {{Troll}}: Loves being as unsettling as possible, purposefully spider-walking down the steps at one point and popping out at the least expected moments to freak the others out.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Balloon Boy seldom speaks, so when he and Lottie hide in Marionette's box during the Halloween party, she's surprised to hear a two-tone voice coming out of him: one half being his voice box, and the other being his deeper-pitched real voice.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Going through Concept Unification lead to his old suit being scrapped, replaced by a wooden one.

[[folder:Glamrock Animatronics]]
!!Roxanne Wolf, Glamrock Chica, Montgomery "Monty" Gator
!!!'''Debut''': ''Going Home In A Box''

The other members of Fazbear Entertainment's new line of animatronics. They are '''Roxanne Wolf''', the band's keytar player and mascot of Roxy's Raceway, an indoor go-kart track; '''Glamrock Chica''', the latest version of Chica, the band's guitar player and mascot of the Mazercise, an aerobics-themed attraction; and '''Montgomery Gator''', the band's bass player, and mascot of Monty Golf, an indoor minigolf course.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: So far:
** Sanguine: Chica. [[TheHeart The Heart]] of the group, constantly joking and trying to involve other members in various activities, as well as the seemingly most social one.
** Choleric: Monty. Short-tempered, domineering, [[TheBigGuy The Big Guy]] -- and that says something, when everyone's well over six feet tall -- and focused on doing any task at hand above anything else, barely saying a word in the process.
** Melancholic: Roxy. A rigid perfectionist who, on rare occasions, shows a softer side of herself.
** Phlegmatic: Freddy. In spite of being [[TheFace The Face]], he's rather reserved, if not downright timid, but is very good with people, as proven by his friendships with Foxy, Vanessa, and Gregory.
* {{Tsundere}}: Implied with Roxy, who showed up to ask about Freddy [[spoiler:after his malfunction]]. Although she tries to hide it, claiming she was more worried about the show going awry, it was clear she was worried about him. It happens again when the band briefly reunites during the following night.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:Glamrock Chica is actually an heavily refurbished and remodeled Funtime Chica, having undergone a minor form of Concept Unification. The soul inside, obviously enough, remained the same, and she remembers what Baby did to her when she couldn't move...]]

[[folder:Jake]]
!!Jake [[spoiler:(The Old Sun)]]
!!!'''Debut''': ''Almost Feels Like Home''
A mysterious figure heard over the radio whilst inside the Pizzaplex. He claims to be a Fazbear Entertainment technician stationed within the Daycare.

\\
[[spoiler:In reality, he's yet another animatronic with a human soul inside, and the ''former'' Daycare Attendant and Sun. He ended up decomissioned and thought scrapped by Fazbear Entertainment at larged, whilst Andrew, the Moon, ended up playing the part of the Sun as well.]]

* TheSmartGuy: He knows the Pizzaplex, its systems, its intricacies, its policies and its (''[[NoOSHACompliance many]]'') flaws inside and out, making him a very precious ally to the Foxy's gang. [[spoiler:Justified, as he's been living off-the-grid for months by the time he meets Mike, and he had to learn quickly if he wanted to hide and survive.]]
** The hidden storage room in the Daycare hints at some genuine interest of his towards engineering and electronics, judging by the disassembled Staff Bots. [[spoiler:That does not translate to any actual skill, as he's powerless when Andrew is injured and requires Charlie, a technician-in-tranining, to see what exactly broke in the scuffle with Monty.]]
* {{Protectorate}}: For the current Daycare Attendant, who is ''very'' defensive of him.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: He first introduces himself over the radio, and prefers to communicate through it. [[spoiler:Justified, as he can't be seen in person out of fear of being found out and scrapped for good. His noticeable limp also suggests that his overall mobility is shot.]]

[[folder:Fredrick Fazzman]]
!!Fredrick Fazzman
!!!'''Debut''': ''Can't Go Home Again'', Chapter 1

Fazbear Incorporated's last boss, having picked the business up from William Afton and [[spoiler:the late Henry Johnson]]. He dies right before the beginning of ''Can't Go Home Again'', leaving his house and personal belongings to Mike, which leads the security guard to meeting Marionette.

\\
[[spoiler:For tropes regarding his real identity, see his folders as "The Purple Man" and "Old Man Consequences".]]

* BenevolentBoss: Mike and Fritz both thought somewhat-fondly of him, as an amicable, if stingy, businessman. He was certainly kind enough to his two employees to leave essentially everything he still had for both. [[spoiler:It isn't until after his death that they discover that he was '''William Afton'''.]]
* CanonImmigrant: The chain already has named owners in the games, neither of whom was named "Fredrick", so he comes off as a surprise. One could chalk this up to the fanfiction beginning as early as ''The Silver Eyes''' release. For details, see below.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Died not too long before the start of the plot, with his will being what cues Mike into it.
* PosthumousCharacter: Dies right before the beginning of ''Can't Go Home Again'', with his will setting the events of the plot into motion.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As a result of being one of William's aliases, not that anyone is aware until late into ''Can't Go Home Again''.]]

!Antagonists

[[folder:The Purple Man '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
!!William Afton

The man behind the slaughter. The serial killer responsible for the many missing children in Washington County and the many horrific "accidents" that happened to the Freddy's brand. In spite of this, he was never found out or even suspected by the authorities, only being vaguely known by the animatronics.

\\
His real identity is '''William Afton''', patriarch of the Afton family, founder of Afton Robotics Industries, creator of almost every single animatronic body possessed by the souls of his victims, and one of Freddy's original co-founders. Some time after Henry Johnson's death, William changed identity and look, picking up the name of '''Fredrick Fazzman''', under which he continued to operate Freddy's until it was forcefully shut down and he died of an heart attack.

\\
...Except he didn't. William planned everything in advance and left his belongings to Mike Schmidt and Fritz Smith, before possessing a modem of his creation he left in his former house's basement. Laying in wait through-out ''Can't Go Home Again'', and letting his previous actions influence the unfolding events, he begins playing a major role behind the scene right before ''Almost Feels Like Home'', possessing a number of individuals to sink the other animatronic facilities around the area to let Foxy's become the undisputed number one, as part of his twisted desire to have Mike and Marion carry on his work and keep his legacy alive.

* AbusiveParents: It doesn't get any worse than causing the deaths of all of your children and then continuing to harm them even after their souls have settled in new bodies.
** Further developed on in ''Going Home In A Box''. Baby remembers being physically abused by him during her visit to Fairyland Park, something that shakes her to her very core.
* AdaptedOut: His Scraptrap form, from Pizzeria Simulator, never makes a single appearance. Justified in that it's not him, but Michael in the Spring Bonnie suit, and he retains his original, bulkier appearance.
** Zigzagged with his Glitchtrap form. He never becomes Glitchtrap proper, but he has a similar modus operandi in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', and he appears wearing the suit at the very end of that story.
* ArchnemesisDad: To all four of his kids. Justified, in that he indirectly caused the death of two of them, directly killed one, and continued to antagonize them and cause them misery even after they became animatronics. He disowns Elizabeth at the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home'' for refusing to go along with his plans.
* BadBoss: Double subverted. The reason why William kept getting away with everything he did was because of his unrivaled charisma and capacity to pick the perfect targets, as well as emotionally manipulating everyone around him, like Scott. As such, he never came across as an awful boss, either as himself or as Fredrick Fazzman. In reality, William didn't care about anyone but Henry, and forced Fritz to take his sweet time in taking Scott out of the suit he was stuffed in to intimidate him into silence.
* ColorMotifs: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Purple, naturally]]. It was Bonnie's colour, the animatronic he preferred, and the security guards' uniform was purple. Henry's influence over time caused the animatronics under him to see the guards they hunted as purple abominations, and he appears as a husk covered in purple goo when confronting Mike, Charlie and Marion.
* CreepySouvenir: His basement has a hidden trunk filled with the belongings of his past victims, including his own sons if Michael's wallet is any indication.
* DemonicPossession: An ability he gained after his human death and possession of a modem of his creation in the basement. He's capable of using the phone lines to influence people's thoughts and gradually corrupt them, if not straight-up take control of them. The end of ''Almost Feels Like Home'' reveals that, whilst he relies on the phone lines for a sure-fire way, he can spread his influence through radio waves, as he tries to do to Charlie, Scott, and Baby.
* DraggedOffToHell: Implied. After being pushed into the lake he used to possess people on Earth by Marion, William is grabbed by hundred of hands, and finally dragged deep down when Mike destroys his modem, severing his tether to our world.
* FalseFriend: To everyone he ever met. This includes Henry Johnson, Scott Caldwell (with whom he was in a relationship), Mike Schmidt, Fritz Smith, Glenn Voroff and Chance Johnson.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Everything our protagonists face in ''Can't Go Home Again'' is a result of his actions, be it Springtrap (his much-maligned older son, whom he indirectly caused to be scooped and later locked into the suit), Ennard (a former technician who worked for his animatronics factory and who was scooped by his daughter out of desperation), the Hickory Dickory's animatronics (the former Toy animatronics, scrapped after Mangle bit Jeremy and driven mad by having forcefully undergone concept unification), Chance Johnson(another former technician who worked for him, the father of his business partner whom he accidentally killed) or Golden Freddy (Henry Johnson).
** ''Almost Feels Like Home''; his possession of Dave Miller results in Charlie's death as a human and transformation into the Security Puppet, and from there, he does everything in his power to have her for himself, secretly driving most of the conflicts and only revealing himself at the very end.
* IHaveManyNames: As explained by Mike in ''Can't Go Home Again'', he'd change names at the drop of an hat to re-open Freddy's and dodge his creditors and critics. As far as we're aware, he changed his name at least once. Then there are his aliases: The Purple Man, Old Man Consequences, The Snake...
* IHaveNoSon: Repeatedly. Disowned Michael when the two were still human, disowns Elizabeth when she refuses to kill Charlie, disowns Marion by implying he isn't his real father.
* KarmaHoudini: Killed dozens of children, including his own family, caused the deaths of various security guards under his employment, ruined lots of lives and continued to hunt Hurricane's nightmares... only to die of an heart attack, completely free of any punishment.
** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Finally gets his just dues in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', suffering from a [[FateWorseThanDeath Fate Worse Than Death]] right after seeing his plans crumble before his very eyes. He still manages to get in one last shot at Marion, though, causing him to have existential doubts.
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Attempted on Mike. William points out that Mike running Foxy's and saving Charlie by putting her in the Security Puppet is no different than what he did. [[ShutUpHannibal Mike has none of it.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Zigzagged. He outlived all four of his kids as humans, having directly killed one... but the four then proceeded to outlive him as animatronics.
* SoulJar: His soul possessed a modem of his creation in order to continue his work undisturbed by possessing others. Whilst having its perks, it's a lot less durable than the animatronic bodies, and he's at the mercy of whoever holds the modem. When Mike found it and smashed it to pieces, it was all over for William.
* ThanatosGambit: Perhaps the Ur-Example in fanfiction. William Afton planned around ''his own death'' to make sure his work continued, setting up Mike, Fritz, and even Jeremy as possible successors. Averted in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', as [[NotQuiteDead he takes a hand-on approach once again.]]
* TheVirus: Fittingly, his possession manifests itself as physical illness, with fever, sinus inflammation, coughing, and later white splotches on the skin. In its final stage, William is capable of causing heart failure in those he's possessing. He successfully manages to kill Dave Miller this way, whilst Glenn Voroff and Detective Burke survive.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers to Mike and Marion to continue his work and hand over Charlie, in exchange of continuing their peaceful existence. Neither even remotely consider the idea.
** Tries this again immediately afterwards on Baby, trying to get her to break Charlie's body to release her soul and tempting her by promising her a role as an headliner. [[CallingTheOldManOut Liz sees right through his lies and temptations, and reiterates her love for Charlie, breaking her wrist to protect her from her father.]]
* XanatosGambit: His entire plan in ''Almost Feels Like Home''. Possess Dave Miller and have him kidnap children? Mike and Marionette either stop him or he continues his legacy through Dave, sinking Magictime Theatre regardless. Possess Glenn Voroff and have him try to harm Fritz? He either adds another kill to his list, or causes enough damage to El Chip's that Foxy's benefits from it. Possess Detective Burke to try and frame Mike? No matter what, Burke is permanently discretited and the investigations over Freddy's are archived. The only reason he ends up losing is his own arrogance and disregard for his children, who all proceed to derail his plan at the last moment.

[[folder:Lumber Bot Maximum]]
A ''[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever gigantic]]'', metallic version of Chipper the Beaver, and one of the animatronics on display at Chipper's and Sons' showroom. It tries to kill Mike and Marionette in ''Can't Go Home Again'', in spite of not being haunted and being solely driven by its programming.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Marionette confirms Mike's suspects when he declares that the Lumber Bot doesn't have a soul inside, nor does it have another haunted animatronic controlling it. Fritz and Mike deduce someone must've ''programmed'' it to do so.
* DumbMuscle: One of the most obvious signs that there's no human soul in him is his simple-mindedness and lack of awareness.
* HomicideMachines: It ''actively seeks out humans to kill'' during the night shift, and influences the other robots in the showcase to patrol the area and set traps.

[[folder:Hickory, Dickory and Doc's Funcade animatronics]]
The entertainment robots of the eponymous "Funcade", supposedly commissioned from Henry's [[spoiler:and Afton's]] company, all of which become active during the nighttime and are said to be aggressive towards security guards. They are the three eponymous mice, a Bo-Peep robot and her two sheep (white and black) and a weasel. [[spoiler:They're actually the Toy Animatronics from the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza after a "concept unification" process that changed their appearance.]]

* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:Mike is horrified when he sees Marionette apologize to them for "running away", since he catches on really quickly that these are the animatronics from the Pizzeria before his time.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:Courtesy of William Afton, the closer the time gets to the end of the night shift, the crazier they become.]]
* ItCanThink: How Mike realizes they're haunted during his night shifts there. The animatronics don't just follow basic presets or stay stuck to pattern, they're calculating and analyzing Mike's moves as he does it to them, not to mention becoming increasingly erratic and unstable as the night shift reaches its end.
* {{Motifs}}: Nursery rhymes, namely the eponymous "Hickory Dickory Dock", "Little Bo-Peep" and, [[IronicNurseryRhyme appropriately]], "Pop Goes the Weasel".
* YouDontLookLikeYou: [[spoiler:The Toy Animatronics]] were re-outfitted for the Funcade with new bodies and programming. It did nothing to soothe the angry souls still inside those husks.

[[folder:Chance]]
'''Chauncey "Chance" Evans''' [[spoiler:'''Johnson''', Henry's father]], a former technician for the Freddy's chain [[spoiler:who worked under both his son and his partner, William Afton]]. He knows the animatronics are alive and is trying to release the souls inside of them... Whether they want it or not.

* ChekhovsGunman: As "Chauncey Evans", he first meets Mike when he goes undercover into Hickory Dickory's, introducing him to the place and giving him his outfit.
* CoolOldGuy: He's well into his sixties by the time of the plot, and is still a very capable technician. [[spoiler:Enough to rig an entire building to become a giant furnace to burn down animatronics and any humans from Freddy's who he thinks deserve to die alongside him.]]
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Like the games' Cassette Man, he wants to die and free the souls from their animatronic bodies, allowing them to move on after lives filled with tragedy and despair. ''Unlike'' the games, however, Chance is doing it out of a twisted sense of entitlement and perverted justice, and the animatronics want to continue living their lives as if they were still uhman, something he cannot accept. In the sequel, he desperately begs to be destroyed once it's revealed his soul is now inside Lefty, which denied him of even his own, personal death.]]
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To his son, Henry Johnson, who influenced him as Golden Freddy.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:To [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator Pizzeria Simulator's]] "Cassette Man". In the game, the animatronics were near-mindless monsters, the souls inhabiting them fully overtaken by anger and vengeance to the point of murdering anyone who fit the criteria of their killer's basic appearance... or unrepetant murderers. Here, the animatronics regained their sanity, embraced their humanity once again, and went to great lengths to make up for what they did in their quest for vengeance, some managing to abandon it in exchange for near-normal lives. Chance's plan, thus, morphs into the mass murder of innocent victims, some of whom would die a ''second time'', all out of a desire to rid the world of Freddy's legacy permanently.]]
** [[spoiler:He's also this to Mike Schmidt in the Home series. The two are heavily involved in the tragedies caused by Afton and Freddy's, but Mike keeps their secret to protect them and treats them like the humans they are. Mike doesn't want to bury the past, but carry on and fix what can still be fixed. Chance, instead, dehumanizes the animatronics at every given moment, putting himself on a pedestal above them in the process, and constantly tries to destroy the past, believing it is best left forgotten.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:As revealed by Charlie come ''Almost Feels Like Home'', behind the mourning façade, Chance was always absent in the Johnson family's life, never helping Henry with Sammy's disappearance, and focusing exclusively on his son's death above everyone else's... to the point he was ready to kill some of those very same people ''again'' in Henry's name. He at least admits to it, even if he needs to be metaphorically beaten over the head with it repeatedly beforehand.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Springtrap drags him into the fire he caused so both will die together. And as it turns out, his soul is now trapped inside the same device he made to trap the Puppet.]]
* IronicDeath: [[spoiler: Twofold! He drags Mike into his plans in part because he believes him to be Michael Afton, continuing his father's legacy of killing; thus, Chance plans to erase what he thinks remains of the Afton family in one fell swoop. Michael is the one who makes sure everyone ''but'' Chance escapes his death trap, saving the lives of Mike and of three other Aftons in Marion, Gabriel, and Elizabeth.]]
* ItIsDehumanizing: [[spoiler:One of the signs that his goal isn't as merciful as it seems, since he refuses to acknowledge the animatronics as human, using terms like "creatures" and "machines" to describe them, ignoring the souls that by all means want to ''continue'' being alive in their new bodies.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:Delivers this line during his Motive Rant, which makes it seem, at best, that he thinks no other parent mourned their own children's deaths, and at worst like Henry's death was the single biggest tragedy out of all of them, and the only one that ''deserved'' to be avenged.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Chance:''' I wasn't the only one to lose a child to his madness. The only difference between me and the countless other parents… was that mine had a family he was leaving behind.]]
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler:His mind is completely set on erasing the blood trail left by William Afton and his creations, and he'll make absolutely sure the animatronics are freed, no matter what they think or feel about it, and this also extends to the human workers who still remain, keeping Freddy's memory alive indirectly.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:His soul ended up possessing the LEFTE unit, the very same device he created to trap, torture, and ensure Marionette's death in his trap. Thus, the man who wanted to destroy the animatronics ends up being not just any animatronic, but the one he built himself.]]
** [[spoiler:Foxy doubles down in that regard, refusing to kill him and let him move on and instead letting him live to understand how they felt at first.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:He wants to kill Mike, but because he believes him to be Michael ''Afton'', William's son.]]
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:He returns in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', now stuck in the LEFTE unit.]]
* RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:His son died before William, and William is long dead, so he chooses to kill William's legacy by incinerating animatronics and personnel alike.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Like in ''Pizzeria Simulator'', he's meant to burn down the pizzeria so he can bring peace to the souls within the animatronics as well as himself. Unlike Cassette Man, however, Chance is pulling a murder-suicide.]]
* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:His fake pizzeria trap was originally supposed to have Scott as the "security guard" to burn with the animatronics, but he decided against it because, in his mind, Scott is already too shaken by his experience to deserve death on top of everything else. Given Chance's portrayal, however, this could be CruelMercy.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Revealing his involvement in the plot in detail basically gives away the ending and the deeper plot points it tackles.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. He certainly ''thinks'' he's doing this for the souls trapped inside the animatronics, but all he's doing is continuing the Freddy's tradition of sweeping the problem under the rug and covering it up from the public eye.]]

[[folder:The Warehouse Entity]]
Throughout the fanfic, a strange phenomenon starts haunting the warehouse given to Fritz in Fredrick Fazzman's will, turning the place into a cold storage for parts and making things move on their own. [[spoiler:This is none other than '''Henry Emily Johnson''', William Afton's former business partner and co-founder of the Freddy's brand, killed in a springlock suit accident. His soul possessed the suit, however, allowing him to survive and take the mantle of '''"Golden Freddy"'''. In the years following the accident he became a mentor and boss to the other animatronics, leading them in revenge against their murderer. Marionette claims he moved on alongside the others when Michael Afton tore them apart... and then, Mike starts seeing a bipedal bear made out of wires around town...]]

* BearsAreBadNews: [[spoiler:The trope fully comes into play with the reveal that the "entity" is Henry, who took up the mantle of Golden Freddy.]]
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:His desire for revenge against a man responsible for killing so many children led him to kill, or attempt to kill, almost as many innocents just doing their jobs.]]
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: [[spoiler:Genuinely believed to be acting in the animatronics' best interests, Marionette in particular, and did everything in order to help them finally move on, even when they wanted to resume the lives they had been previously denied. He realizes his own hypocrisy once defeated by Marionette and Mike.]]
* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:His TranquilFury MotiveRant towards Mike is only broken when Mike accuses him - as Fredbear - of killing Marion on his birthday on purpose, insinuating he wanted to kill him only to have Afton's own son under his thumb as fast as possible. Although nothing but mere speculation on his part, the accusation is strong enough to cause Henry to push a shelf full of parts on Mike in reaction to it.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''''I WOULD NEVER HURT HIM!''''']]
* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:An interesting case. Henry truly cared about the animatronics, and took all of them under his wings, acting like a father figure, but their constant failure in killing the real Purple Man, combined with his own slipping sanity, lead him to manipulate them without even realizing it. Best exemplified by his friendship with Marion, as he truly cares about him, but his behaviour and attempts at murdering him and Mike almost cause everythign to fall apart. Henry ultimately apologizes before moving on, and reiterates what he said upon reappearing in ''Almost Feels Like Home'']].
* ChekhovsGun: The warehouse becomes haunted early on in the plot, as the driving force that gets Foxy relocated and starting the idea of opening a restaurant for him and Marionette. By the time [[spoiler:Chance's]] part of the plot is done with, the fanfic is close to the end and the warehouse is the only plot point left unfinished.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Marionette mentions Golden Freddy a lot through-out ''Can't Go Home Again'', with Mike's own shows of affection helping him realize there was more to his leadership and kind approach than just comfort and a sense of purpose. He finally appears at the ''very'' end of the book to confront Mike and Marion.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:The final threat for Mike and Marionette in ''Can't Go Home Again''.]]
* MisplacedRetribution: [[spoiler:Started the trend of pursuing security guards and killing them in order to hurt the business after William took it from him, no matter how involved these people were in Afton's real schemes, meaning that several innocent guards just doing their jobs might've been killed before. This also applies to Mike, who Henry sees as continuing William's legacy.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:To Marionette, both in life and post-mortem. In life, he was very close to Marion and greatly enjoyed their time together, and he stuck around even after death by bonding to the young boy's Fredbear plushie. As Golden Freddy, he was Marionette's mentor and best friend, instructing him on how to catch the security guards and plan ahead for their attacks, acting friendly despite this being the approximate time his authoritative and vengeful emotions started taking hold.]]
* {{Poltergeist}}: Turning the warehouse cold, causing objects to fly all over the place... the presence fits the classical archetype to a T. [[spoiler:Except it isn't ''really'' a poltergeist, but Henry's telepathy at work due to being stuck in storage without a way to move. He shares the same powerset with Marionette.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Far more than his father. Henry saw things through the other end of the spectrum, and fully believes he's acting on the souls' best interests by helping them move on. He does care for Marion's well being, but he let his own revenge speak louder and inadvertently continued causing more harm than good.]]

[[folder:Dave Miller]]
A ragged-looking man Mike meets in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', working for Magictime Auditorium, an animatronic restaurant tied to a new string of kidnappings in Hurricane. [[spoiler:He's another former worker of Freddy's, and the one behind the kidnappings, being influenced by William Afton.]]

* DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:"Dave Miller" was a pseudonym used by William Afton in ''"The Silver Eyes"'' to deflect suspicion as he continued his killings. Whilst it remains possible that William used Dave's name as an alias at one point, Dave is a fully separate person... that still ends up being used by the Purple Man as part of his plans.]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:The first victim of William Afton's handywork in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', aided by Dave's addiction history and malleable will.]]
* ForTheEvulz: When asked about his motivations, Dave essentially says he just "woke up one day feeling like doing it". [[spoiler:Later becomes a hint to his actions being tied to Glenn's and Detective Burke's, with all three being possessed by William Afton.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: A variation of this for ''Almost Feels Like Home''. [[spoiler:While Dave's crimes are limited to kidnapping and murder, the fact he was able to catch at least three kids (not counting Chrissy, who escaped) and trap them in a busy restaurant's basement with ''no one'' figuring out he was responsible for a large amount of time, despite him being clearly dangerous or at least unstable, is something that eats away at Mike's mind as he debates the aftermath of Dave's death under custody. Essentially, the mere fact that a second former Freddy's employee is responsible for a new string of kidnappings, plus the added insult to injury of the people of Hurricane acting like it's some form of major shock and no one at Magictime Auditorium even bothering to check their employee's history ''or simply check the basement'', all amounts to Dave being a symptom of a much bigger problem, namely of Hurricane looking for a scapegoat for the Missing Children incident and seeking any form of closure.]]
* HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Runs over Charlie in his car as she tries to protect Chrissy. Partially Averted, as Charlie survives... as the Security Puppet, her human body bleeding out in Magictime's parking lot.]]
* JackTheRipoff: [[spoiler:Appears to be a copycat of the Purple Man at first. Averted when it's later revealed the ''actual'' Purple Man was influencing his actions.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: Mike assumes this upon first glance, seeing how Dave is a disheveled and skeletal-thin man with yellowed teeth, but what sets off the alarms in his head is [[spoiler:Dave commenting on how "purple looks good" on him. Mike even lampshades this to all of Hurricane during his "hero speech" for the press chapters later.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Kidnapped several kids and trapped them in a basement, possibly to kill them.]]

[[folder:The Twisted Ones]]
Deranged, horrifying copies of the original Freddy Fazbear gang, let loose in one of the Fazbear factories to trap Mike. [[spoiler:They were released by Officer Burke, under possession, to subdue any animatronic found in the factory and force Mike to confess to the crimes he didn't commit.]]

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: As with their original design. Twisted Foxy sports an absurdly sharp ''hook''.
* CanonImmigrant: From the book of the same name.
* DemotedToExtra: The main antagonists of their own book, reduced to arc mooks who first appear towards the end of ''Almost Feels Like Home''.
* MechanicalMonster: As with their original appearance, they're malformed, terrifying mock-ups of the originals.

[[folder:"Vanny"]]
A mysterious figure, clad in a grotesque, handmade white rabbit suit, she at first taunts Vanessa, referring to her as "Vanny", before appropriating the nickname for herself upon stumbling into Gregory. She seems obsessed into playing mindgames with the Pizzaplex's inhabitants. Nothing's clear about her, other than possibly being talented enough to interfere with security equipment and the Staff Bots' programming.

* AxCrazy: Downplayed; Vanny appears to be calculating and plans every move of hers, as shown by her constantly being one step ahead of the inexperienced Vanessa. This only serves to make her behaviour and tendencies all the more terrifying.
* FauxAffablyEvil: She acts as if she's only playing games and having fun while making it clear she's a deranged psychopath out for blood.
* HairRaisingHare: There's absolutely ''nothing'' cute or even lightly endearing about Vanny. [[spoiler:Her attempts at goading Gregory into following her in particular are terrifying.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: Up until her appearance, ''Going Home In A Box'' largely focused on the tensions surrounding the opening of the Pizzaplex, Mike's and Foxy's respective issues, and [[spoiler:the fallout of Jeremy's TraumaCongaLine]]. Once Vanny merely shows up, though, the stakes rise monstrously once again, [[spoiler:with the sole possibility of another suit-clad killer causing people's souls to end up inside animatronics and William Afton's legacy being continued sending everyone off of the deep end]].
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Her behaviour matches one, as she seems to happily skip and frolick around the Pizzaplex during closing hours... whilst brandishing a knife, and threatening every other flesh-and-blood human being she comes across, in particular Vanessa and Gregory.
* WhiteBunny: Her suit's colored white, contrasting the more traditional Bonnies' coloring of yellow or shades of blue and purple.

!Other Characters

[[folder:Music Man]]
A music-themed animatronic from Funtime Chica's Party World, an abandoned restaurant in a shopping mall. [[spoiler:He's very much haunted, and develops an unhealthy fixation on Charlie, due to the built-in bells in the Security Puppet.]]

* ButtMonkey: Shows up thrice, and every time, something goes horribly wrong for him. He gets battered by [[spoiler:Charlie]] the first time, battered ''again'' by Marionette and [[spoiler:Charlie]] the second time, and battered a ''third time'' by Marionette [[spoiler:when he shows up as one of Hickory Dickory's new animatronics alongside Orville The Elephant]].
* CloudCuckooLander: He loves music, to the point that his every thought revolves around it. [[spoiler:It's why he gets smitten by Charlie, as she's the first-ever animatronic capable of producing music besides him.]]
* ItCanThink: [[spoiler:What leads Mike to conclude that he's another human soul in an animatronic body, as his interaction with Charlie, albeit weird, would not be one a simple machine would be carrying out, referring to her as his muse.]]
* MusicalAssassin: Averted. Music Man tries to at least play the "Music-Themed Assassin" part, but fails ''repeatedly'', being constantly outmatched by others.
* SadClown: His typical tone is jovial and upbeat, and he often acts the part, but it becomes apparent that being the only one of his kind, watching animatronics come and go, and losing his restaurant left him jaded.
* StalkerWithACrush: Downplayed. [[spoiler:He doesn't follow Charlie everywhere, or rather, he ''can't'', but he's definitely obsessed by her, calling her "his muse", chasing after her everytime they meet, and even mistaking Marionette for her.]]

[[folder:Lefty]]
The '''L'''ure '''E'''ncapsulate '''F'''use '''T'''ransport and '''E'''xtract, or LEFTE for short, is a black animatronic bear, found abandoned in the back alley near the site of the new Freddy's. [[spoiler:In reality, the LEFTE unit, or Lefty, was created by Chance Johnson as a way to trap Marionette, exploiting parts of his programming regarding the security bracelets, to make sure he would be unable to interfere with the plan and escape the fake pizzeria as it burned down.]]

\\
[[spoiler:Whilst Lefty's goal failed, as Marionette managed to escape the bear thanks to Ennard's help and foiled Chance's plot, it somehow managed to survive the fire... and became Chance's new body in the process. For tropes regarding him once he re-appears in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', see the Chance Johnson folder.]]

* CompanionCube: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted on the "companion" part]], but Lefty is given plenty of "character" for a suit that is essentially empty, [[spoiler:being the one thing that the Puppet absolutely fears even after escaping it]].
* NotQuiteDead: "Dead" is a stretch, as it wasn't ever alive, [[spoiler:but the suit escapes the fake pizzeria burning and survives into Animatronicon. And as it turns out, it applies to Chance as well, whose soul now possesses the animatronic.]]
* ShockAndAwe: [[spoiler:Has a built-in taser for Marionette in case he tried to struggle out of the suit. Mari still remembers the pain it caused a year later.]]

[[folder:Old Man Consequences]]
A red alligator suit introduced in ''Almost Feels Like Home'', found fishing in an ethereal pond-like location in a dream. [[spoiler:Haunting Mike's dream, and warning him of events to come, it's later revealed he's William Afton, using the form as bait for Mike.]]

* DreamPeople: [[spoiler:At first, he appears to Mike in recurring dreams. It's later revealed he resides on a plane "between life and death", and that's where he takes Mike as he sleeps.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: [[spoiler:Not necessarily "dreaming" of the events, but Old Man Consequences' appearances are alawys followed by warnings of events to come, with particular emphasis on Springtrap. It makes sense, as he's far more aware of what's happening around the entirety of the county thanks to his powers.]]

[[folder:Candy Cadet]]
An old animatronic with a candy dispenser function the security guards bought at an auction during Animatronicon. It sits at the warehouse needing repairs, and while its candy dispenser still works, its stories are either disturbing or lacking in context.

* CanonImmigrant: A minor gag in the games, [[AscendedExtra a recurring minor character whose true importance is hidden until the very end in ''Almost Feels Like Home'']].
* TheOmniscient: [[spoiler:His morbid stories, much like in Pizzeria Simulator, are eerily accurate metaphors referring to past events, in particular the fates of the Aftons. He is the one to warn Springtrap of "The Snake", William Afton, in the final chapters of the second story.]]

[[folder:Eleanor]]
A hideous-looking Circus Baby knock-off.

\\
[[spoiler:It, too, was created by Afton Robotics, and shares the same wire-based endoskeleton as the Funtimes. First appearing during an excursion into a small theme park by Baby, Scott and Ennard, she ends up ripping her feet off to follow them home. She does it ''again'' upon being thrown in the trash compactor by the gang, finally staying down after being reduced to a liquid puddle inside ARI's incinerator. But what she brought upon them all isn't so easily gotten rid of...]]

* ButtMonkey: In spite of how terrifying it is, Eleanor's three appearances are... less than flattering. [[spoiler:Baby accidentally knocks her over as she attempts to rip its necklace off in the theme park, Ennard uses his built-in taser to seemingly fry it once it breaks into their home before having it crushed into a cube, and Ennard again shocks it into submission when it returns, with the security guards throwing it into ARI's incinerator and destroying it for good the following morning.]]
* CanonImmigrant: One of the books' main villains, reduced to a plot device here before being swiftly destroyed. [[spoiler:Twice.]]

** The second one is delivered to [[spoiler:Golden Freddy a.k.a Henry Johnson]] a few chapters later, [[spoiler:as he reveals his motivations and forces Marionette out of his body]], even dropping a [[PrecisionFStrike Precision F-Strike]] in the process.

One of Mike's few friends at the beginning of ''Can't Go Home Again'', a former security guard and long-time animatronic technician. He legally changed his name to "Sam Fritz" in the years since the Missing Children case, in order to dodge any attention due to his ties with Freddy's. Like Mike, Fritz inherited part of the Fazbear legacy, namely an old storage warehouse, van, and some of the pizzeria's equipment, including its main four animatronics.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Doesn't take Fritz too long to figure out how an animatronic works mechanically, even if haunted, which allows him to find the best way to handle them. It's not as easy programming-wise, but he is capable in that regard as well, [[spoiler:cracking William Afton's programming and causing it to crash when a child is near Baby.]]

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler: With Natalie.]] Whilst Fritz breaks up with his first girlfriend shortly into ''Can't Go Home Again'', [[spoiler: Natalie]] invites him to a date after [[spoiler:finding out the truth about the animatronics and Marionette]]. The two end up together shortly afterwards, and live together by Almost Feels Like Home.

Most workers thought he had perished on a Thursday, killed by Freddy Fazbear himself. In reality, he was stuck in a plush suit, and found by Fredrick Fazzman ([[spoiler:William Afton]]) and Fritz Smith, surviving at the cost of one of his legs. He became a paranoid shut-in in the following years, but got brought back into the fold by Fritz and Mike, becoming a valuable ally.

* ArtificialLimbs: Lost one of his legs to being stuffed in a suit by Freddy Fazbear, which forces him to use a prosthetic. Seems to have absolutely no problems with it.

* CrazyPrepared: Recorded, and continues to record, every phone conversation he's ever had, keeping them on cassette tapes for safe-keeping. He also kept a lot of tapes from Freddy's, down to the maintenance tapes for the animatronics. The latter tapes come in handy in ''Almost Feels Like Home'' when Mike needs to understand what part of Marionette broke, and how to repair his music box.

* SecretKeeper: There is a lot that Scott knows that the others don't, and it's easier said than done to get him to open up about it. [[spoiler:Ending up in a manipulative relationship with William Afton twice, the second time whilst the latter went by Fredrick Fazzman, meant he knew almost everything that went down behind the scenes, from Fredrick's real identity to Henry Johnson's true fate, but he was forced to keep quiet. He caves in towards the very end of ''Can't Go Home Again'', revealing to Marion who his father really was.]]

* SoulJar: His soul possessed a modem of his creation in order to continue his work undisturbed by possessing others. Whilst having its perks, it's a lot less durable than the animatronic bodies, and his predicament made it impossible for his soul to latch onto anything else when Mike smashes the modem to pieces, breaking his tether.

* TheVirus: Fittingly, his possession manifests itself as physical illness, with fever, sinus inflammation, coughing, and later white splotches on the skin. In its final stage, William is capable of causing heart failure in those he's possessing. He successfully manages to kill Dave Miller this way, whilst Glen Voroff and Detective Burke survive.

'''Chauncey "Chance" Evans''' [[spoiler:'''Johnson''', Henry's father]], a former technician for the Freddy's chain who worked under both his son and his partner [[spoiler:William Afton]]. He knows the animatronics are alive and is trying to release the souls inside of them... Whether they want it or not.

Throughout the fanfic, a strange phenomenon starts haunting the warehouse given to Fritz in Fredrick Fazzman's will, turning the place into a cold storage for parts and making things move on their own. [[spoiler:This is none other than '''Henry Johnson''', William Afton's former business partner and Fredbear/Freddy's co-founder, killed by a springlock suit meant for Afton himself as revenge. Still alive as the entity known as '''"Golden Freddy"''', he became a mentor and boss to the animatronics through the years, leading them in revenge against their murderer. Marionette claims he moved on one day, but then Mike sees an odd bear made of wires in the backseat of his car...]]

* BearsAreBadNews: [[spoiler:It's Golden Freddy, this is a given.]]
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:His desire for revenge against a man responsible for killing so many children led him to kill probably just as many security guards just doing their jobs.]]
