*DecoyProtagonist: The series starts off with her in the main focus, showing her descent into envy over Foxy and Mangle's new relationship, the horrifying measures she takes as revenge and then her quest to atone for it as she seeks a way to fix Mangle (with some [[ShipTease ship-teasing]] between her and Bonnie sprinkled in). Then, at the introduction of [[TheHeavy Springtrap]], Chica's role as protagonist shifts to Mangle as the vixen has to face the villain's blackmailing. By the end [[spoiler: Foxy establishes himself as the most determined in the search for Mangle and Springtrap's de facto archenemy, Bonnie is the one to fix Mangle and try to do the same for a reset Foxy and even late-party-joiner Freddy is the one to take down the BigBad Fredbear, making Chica just a secondary character in the second half of the series.]]
*GiveGeeksAChance: After having broken up with the manly pirate Foxy, her SecondLove [[spoiler:ends up being the sensitive machinery geek Bonnie.]]
*GiveGeeksAChance: After having broken up with the manly pirate Foxy, her SecondLove [[spoiler:ends up being the sensitive machinery geek Bonnie.]]
*RedEyesTakeWarning: Starts donning these as the marker of her descent into her envy-fueled madness. She fittngly loses these and goes back to her natural pink eyes immediately after seeing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone just what she's done]].
*BlackEyesOfEvil: When he wants a particular dramatic emphasis on some word he utters, his scleras will very briefly turn dark alongside his voice getting [[EvilSoundsDeep deeper]]. Considering just [[AxCrazy who]] he is, this doubles as BlackEyesOfCrazy.
*EvilCounterpart: To Bonnie.
**Both are rabbit animatronics who are almost identical in appearance safe for different "fur" colors, different faces, wearing different accessories and Bonnie not being covered in BodyHorror. On a meta level, they also happen to share the same voice actor.
**Both are not really fighters, at all, but make up for it with keen brains and a proficiency with all things mechanical. However, Bonnie is a LovableNerd who uses his abilities to try to fix Mangle [[spoiler:and later Foxy]] while Springtrap is an EvilGenius and uses his technological know-how to blackmail Mangle into cooperating lest he resets Foxy's entire personality chip [[spoiler:and plans to remove Mangle's robotic equivalent of a soul to revive his even more dangerous friend Fredbear.]]
**In his flashback, Springtrap turns out to have once been as jovial as Bonnie but also as meek. However, Bonnie is sometimes able to stand his ground for the sake of protecting his friends, even if it usually [[CurbStompBattle ends badly]], while Springtrap used to be such a pushover for [[spoiler:Fredbear]] that he even reluctantly went along with the latter attempt to ''murder'' Freddy in cold blood. Springtrap also GrewASpine, but in the worst possible way, as he turned into a controlling and violent psychopath.
**Both had a conflict with Foxy: It's self-explanatory why Foxy would have beef with the bunny who threatened to [[spoiler:and eventually ''did'']] erase the fox's mind so that Mangle, Foxy's girlfriend, would go along with Springtrap's plans [[spoiler: which lead to essentially her temporary death and Springtrap being impaled by a furious Foxy's hook as retaliation]]; Bonnie also had a minor rivalry with Foxy, briefly thinking there could still be a thing between him and Bonnie's crush Chica and the bold fox taking over discussions the meek bunny tried in vein to join certainly didn't help. [[spoiler:Springtrap ended up becoming Foxy's nemesis outright and spent (what he thought would be) his final moments [[TakingYouWithMe taking Foxy with him]] by resetting his mind. Meanwhile, Bonnie never even disliked Foxy the aforementioned reasons he could have and, at the end of the series, is still trying his all to undo Springtrap's final act of spite and bring Foxy back.]]
**The main difference between the two is that Bonnie is the single most forgiving and kind character in the series, immediately forgiving Chica for having mutilated Mangle and Mangle herself for having tried to kill Chica. Compare this with Springtrap, who functions as the ultimate example of how thirst for {{Revenge}} will turn you into a monstrous, lowly excuse for a human be-animatronic.
