History Characters / FiveNightsAtFreddysTheAftonFamily

* TheAtoner: A huge maybe. Michael's goal is finding his father, and what that means is a mystery, it might mean undoing the horrors his father inflicted, by freeing his sister and ultimately salvaging the last active Fazbear animatronics and burning to (re)death with them. If he's the Brother from ''4'', he may also be trying to atone for his DeadlyPrank. He manages to fulfill his mission by the time of ''Pizzeria Simulator''.

* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: In a downplayed, CainAndAbel sense, with [[RevenantZombie Michael]] being the Older Brother Hero to [[DaddysGirl Elizabeth]]'s Younger Sister Villain. {{Inverted|Trope}} between Michael and William, with Mike being the younger hero to his dad's older villain

** Elizabeth is a pretty big one for Sister Location, since not only she's the daughter of a murderer, but she was killed by Circus Baby and may have become a part of Ennard. Her death drives the entire plot of Sister Location, and may very well have been the cause of either her father or her brother's [[StartOfDarkness]].

* DeathSeeker: ''Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator'' suggests he may be one, since he stays with the animatronics to burn. Not that you can blame an undead sack of rotten flesh and organs for that.

* ArchnemesisDad: Possibly. His father sent him to get his guts pulled out. [[IWillFindYou He has a few questions to ask after this.]]

That is to say, William Afton's ''son''. He was tasked by his father to find "her" (presumably his sister) and "put her back together". He succeeded, but died along the way... [[BackFromTheDead kind of]].

* AdaptationalIntelligence: While Elizabeth in the games is still a child, ''The Fourth Closet'' has her able to perform experiments with her father and even deceive the rest of the main cast into thinking that she's Charlie. Jessica does see through her facade, though. She also seems to be more mature than her game counterpart, and her dialogue is surprisingly philosophical.
* AdaptationalVillainy: While she was more desperate than truly evil (which is also debatable) in ''SL'', Elizabeth has much less reservations about murder in the novels, and even threatens Jessica at one point when holding her captive.

* GreenEyedMonster: In ''The Fourth Closet'', William is more fixated on Charlie, believing her to be the perfect daughter he wanted. Elizabeth hates and is jealous of Charlie as a result, since she was never perfect in her father's eyes.
* IfICantHaveYou: What she says to Charlie in regards to her father before attacking her in ''The Fourth Closet''.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' I know it may sound very childish of me... but if he doesn't want me; then he won't get you either.

* SplitPersonality: Implied this in the games when Baby referred to her as another person, despite being possessed by her. This is more apparent in ''The Fourth Closet'' when Elizabeth explains her origin to Jessica, which understandably confuses her.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' One night I snuck out of bed to see her. I'd been told not to a hundred times. I pulled the sheet away. She was gleaming bright, beautiful, standing over me. She had happy red cheeks and a lovely red dress. It's odd, because I remember looking down at the little girl as well. It's strange seeing through both sets of eyes now. But as I said, one is no more than a data tape, a record of my first capture, my first kill.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: In ''The Fourth Closet'', Elizabeth, due to the mechanisms in her robotic body, can switch between three forms; Circus Baby (as seen in SL), a slender, grown up version with a red dress and a nurse outfit, and her impersonation of Charlie.
* WellDoneDaughterGirl: In ''The Fourth Closet'', Elizabeth is motivated by her need to gain her father's affection and her reason for wanting to kill Charlie is because William is obsessed with her and not Elizabeth.
* {{Yandere}}: In ''The Fourth Closet'', Elizabeth has become a platonic version for her father, wanting to earn William's affection, and kill Charlie purely because envies her father's obsession with her.

[[folder:In general]]

** Does he want to kill William? Besides one line, there's not much things pointing to this. He does help Henry with his plan to kill William, but again, that was Henry’s plan, not Micheal’s.
