9''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12623433/1/School-Days School Days]]'' is a ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' (technically crossover) fanfiction written by Tropers/ISS600 and published on Platform/FanFictionDotNet and [[https://www.wattpad.com/story/309251874-school-days crossposted to]] Platform/{{Wattpad}}. The story itself [[TwentyMinutesIntoThePast takes place in]] [[TheNewTens 2014]] and focuses on Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and co. as they live their life in the lovely town of Salado, Texas, experiencing fun, drama and unraveling a decades-long cold case to get justice for several dead children.
10
11School Days has an absurdly long existence dating back to mid-2017 and been plagued with many, many updates and rewrites and [[{{Retcon}} retcons]], most notably the Reignited Rewrite in early 2022 (January-April) which retconned the ''entire story'' and more to present a polished and smoother concrete storyline as well as better writing quality and more realism. After 5 years of existence, the first official chapter of the story was posted on the 5th of July, 2022.
12
13The story is rated T (Mature on Wattpad) and has a planned spin-off titled Holi-Days which will be a [[SliceOfLife slice-of-life]] type story that feels more like a typical HighSchoolAU-type series and builds the world and characters without introducing unwanted filler content to the main series (i.e. dates, hangouts etc.). Both series also accept OCs to be added for background students and characters which can be summitted through Reviews, [=PMs=], Comments, Messages and in the Discord server.
14
15Definitely not to be confused with the [[Anime/SchoolDays anime]]. Has a Platform/YouTube channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKZtsi2HNcvxfj-r_yRGy6w/playlists found here that features playlists for the main series and Holi-Days]], a Platform/DeviantArt [[https://www.deviantart.com/iss600/gallery/82793163/school-days-f-n-a-f-fanfiction folder]] and [[https://discord.gg/SCScJ69HhW public Discord server]] where supplemental material for the series can be found.
16----
17!!''School Days'' provides examples of the following tropes:
18* AbsurdlyDividedSchool: All three schools in Salado Blue divide themselves into the four Factions: The Animatronics, The Nightguards, The Honoraries (Animtronics & Nightguards) and The Neutrals.
19* AccentAdaptation: Because of the fic's Texan setting, the majority of the characters have been given slight suthern twangs to their accents. In the case of Marionette, Seán and Peter, their accents come from their respective countries (France and the U.K. respectively).
20* AdaptationAmalgamation: ''School Days'' takes place in the [=FNaF=] universe [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys that]] [[VideoGame/{{POPGOES}} has had]] [[VideoGame/OneNightAtFlumptys the]] [[VideoGame/ThoseNightsAtRachels lore of]] [[VideoGame/TheJoyOfCreationReborn several]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsInAnime fangames]] added in alongside [[LikeRealityUnlessNoted some aspects of the real world]].
21* AdaptationDeviation: The fic deviates from the source material of the games and fangames in some ways to create a sort of part-canon part-fanon mix.
22* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Many characters have had their relationships changed to better fit the series such as several characters being related to each other and others being paired for shipping purposes.
23* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Instead of being killer robots, the fic has the animatronic cast being turned into human children. Oddly enough, the lore of the games and fangames is canon which brings to mind the question of "how are the animatronics humans in the modern day if they existed as robots prior in the late 1900s?" which has yet to be answered.
24* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Because the animatronic characters are instead human children, this was inevitable.
25* AdaptationalLocationChange: While the [=FNaF=] games are implied to take place in or near Hurricane, UT and the fangames are all located Scott-knows-where, the fic is set in the real-life town of Salado, TX.
26* ADayInTheLimelight:
27** Many different characters are given a chance to shine such as ''Super Science Fair'' where the protagonist is an OC and the shorts each featuring one of the protagonists as a central character instead of being split amongst a party.
28** OC Submitters are allowed to give their OCs chapters where the OC is the protagonist and have a plot tailored to them. This means that anyone's OC can have their own day in the limelight. All you need to do is ask the author.
29* AgeLift: An inversion, the canon cast are well into their 20s at ''least'' while here, they're 13 or under.
30* AlliterativeName: Many examples: '''F'''reddy '''F'''azbear, '''F'''ionn and '''F'''ianna '''F'''ox, '''J'''amie '''J'''anis '''J'''ohnson, '''B'''en '''B'''oyd, '''S'''awyer, '''S'''øren, '''S'''am, '''S'''ora and '''S'''cott '''S'''uarez, '''P'''ete '''P'''icks, '''R'''ay '''R'''ackon, '''S'''ara and '''S'''affron '''S'''iraetius, '''B'''enton '''B'''ourne, '''M'''anora '''M'''ann, '''L'''illie '''L'''amianes etc.
31* AlliterativeFamily: The Fazbears and Foxes have several family members with names and surnames beginning with F.
32* AllThereInTheManual: Platform/DeviantArt features images, family trees, detailed profiles, and the author's Platform/FanFictionNet page links Platform/YouTube channels containing playlists, and soundtracks for events and years. The public Discord server contains many pieces of information such as a fully-fledged calendar to track the story's timeline as well as profiles for author-made OCs, character lists and more.
33* AlphaBitch:
34** T.C., Chica's older sister who loves to pick on her and her friends daily with all the cruelty of an 8-year-old.
35** Sara Vextant is the self-proclaimed "head honcho queen" of Aemulus Junior High and her first appearance is her harassing Marionette and the twins at lunch.
36* AnachronismStew: The fic takes place in 2014 yet includes characters from games not released until at leas a year later. Explained away in-universe by having all of the fangames' universes being canon and melded together; the characters can appear before their game release because the events of the game have already happened.
37* BetaBitch:
38** Toby, T.C.'s right-hand-rabbit who loves to back her up and assist in bullying the kids. Teddy is a subversion as though he's there and present, he isn't an active participant most of the time.
39** In Sara's group, the spacey but smug Cambry Teelins fills this role.
40* BigBrotherInstinct: Evan, Jason and Marionette are viciously protective and caring over the younger children they've befriended. Marionette applies this attitude to the ''entire'' Animatronics faction.
41* BigBrotherWorship: Fionn and Fianna adore the twins and the triplets highly respect Marionette. By extension, so do the rest of her friends and fellow faction members to the point the majority consider her the TeamMom of the Animatronics.
42* BlindIdiotTranslation: Usually averted with any French translations due to the author having a French friend but viewers are warned that these will crop up regarding other languages and asks them to inform her of any mistakes.
43* CastHerd: The extremely large (named) character list is broken up into many many groups and subgroups to make it easier to keep track of and manage for both viewers and the author. Best exemplified on the character page with its inordinate amount of subpages.
44* ComingOfAgeStory: School Days and Holi-Days both chronicle the journey of the kids as they grow and live, though School Days focuses less on it as the story goes on.
45* DeathByChildbirth: Delia's cause of death as her body couldn't handle the triplets' birth. Talking about it is an intense source of pain for both Paul and his kids.
46* DomesticAbuse: Mrs. Vivian Fox towards Mr. Austin Fox and to the children. Implied with Mrs. Maline towards Vinnie as well.
47* DramaQueen: T.C. acts the part towards even the smallest slight made against her, usually to get someone in trouble for it.
48* EmotionsVsStoicism: The younger kids rely on emotion and let their hearts guide them more often than not while the older kids utilize reasoning and logic. On a character-specific level, Evan and Jason display this trope, Evan being emotion and Jason being stoicism.
49* EntertainmentAboveTheirAge:
50** 7 year old Freddy finds joy in academic studies and college level writings.
51** Bonnie loves to read expansive dictionaries despite being a 7 year old.
52** Downplayed with Marionette who is 12 and likes to occupy herself learning about the spiritual, monsters like vampires, ghosts, [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubi]] and reading mature, young adult, dark fiction.
53** Also downplayed with Jason who is 12 and likes to read Literature/TheDivineComedy alongside other similar Biblical works.
54* FamilyThemeNaming:
55** The Fazbear family tree combines this with ThemeInitials and feature names beginning with F ('''F'''rederick, '''F'''rancesco, '''F'''abio, '''F'''red Barry, '''F'''reddy) and names related to gold (Aurelia from ''aurus'', Cressida means gold, Mari'''gold''').
56** The Cottontails' & Trapps' surnames [[AnimalThemeNaming all relate to rabbits]] ([[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign Haisse and Heischoen]] [[AnimalThemeNaming from ''hase'', Kanichen meaning ''rabbits'']]), [[{{Pun}} spring (the season) and traps]] (Frühling being the month of Spring, Trapp sound like ''trap'').
57** Sans a few of them, all of the Fox family have Biblical names.
58* FightingBackIsWrong: It's invoked by a teacher and lampshaded by students in ''Interview #2: J. Fox''. Jason comes across Chad Millers bullying Evan and swiftly dispatches Chad with a restraining wristlock. The teacher Mrs. Lida spots the incident and gives Chad a slap on the wrist, whereas Jason is given detention. Marionette calls out the unfairness and ends up in detention for doing so.
59* FloralThemeNaming: The girls in Marionette's previous school are all named after flowers.
60* FriendToAllChildren: Jason, Evan and Marionette are all on good terms with the younger kids and love to socialize and interact with young children. Young children also love them for their humor, small talents and comforting, parental atmosphere.
61* FullNameUltimatum: Bonnie screams out "TOBY IAN HAISSE" when he finds out that Toby painted his face with permanent ink.
62* FunetikAksent: Heavily downplayed to be easier for readers [[note]]and the author [[/note]] but does crop up regarding Chica and Fionn.
63* FusionFic: School Days crosses over with multiple Five Nights at Freddy's fangames[[note]]Games included are: VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys, VideoGame/{{POPGOES}}, VideoGame/OneNightAtFlumptys, VideoGame/ThoseNightsAtRachels, VideoGame/TheJoyOfCreationReborn & VideoGame/FiveNightsInAnime. And also technically VideoGame/TheReturnToFreddys with the inclusion of Sugar the Cat but this game is not included in the lore of S.D. at all.[[/note]] to create a solid student body and simultaneously plays out the other games' stories in sequence with the main one, though the focus is less.
64* GirlPosse:
65** Teddy and Toby act as [[BetaBitch beta bitches]] to T.C. Toby acts a her right-hand-rabbit in picking the younger kids while Teddy is less enthusiastic to partake in such behaviors, though he doesn't make attempts to stop them.
66** At Aemulus Jr. High, spacey, snide and smug Cambry Teelins joins with ditzy Jane Ikurosaba to follow and devote themselves to "head-honcho queen" Sara Vextant. Both are bullies who hold no interest in kindness towards The Misfit Trio.
67* HairContrastDuo: In an inversion of the usual way the trope goes, Freddy the brunette is idealistic while Bonnie the blonde a realist. Same for Jason and Marionette with Jason the blonde being the darker and more cynical one while Marionette the brunette is the more idealistic one.
68* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold:
69** Fred Barry, Gordon, Peter, Seán and Chica all have hearts of gold, heads of gold and a wonderful attitude to boot.
70** Inverted with T.C. however as she has golden-blonde hair and a heart of coal.
71* HalfSiblingAngst: All of the Fox kids resent their half-sibling status because their physical appearances are very obvious markers of infidelity by their mother, an emotionally and physically abusive figurehead who openly wishes they didn't survive the abortion attempts. Not only is it obvious that they are children born from affairs, but they share a genetic connection with someone who cannot stand them and wishes them dead on a daily basis.
72* HatesTheirParent: The Fox kids and Vinnie all cannot stand their mothers due to their mothers' abusive and controlling actions.
73* HeterosexualLifePartners: The Fazbear/Bearns family and Cottontail/Haisse families are incredibly close and have formed this trope between each other. Idealist Freddy and realist Bonnie are best friends, musical Séan and Fred Barry consider themselves brothers and Peter and Gordon have practically grown up together.
74* HighSchoolAU: School Days is a younger version of this trope with the cast as young children in elementary and middle school instead of decades old robots entertaining the messed-up masses.
75* InitiationCeremony: Acceptance Meeting describes the Animatronics one involving the initiated receiving their name and costume.
76* InnocentBetaBitch: Downplayed example with Teddy. Though he does pick on Freddy from time to time, he doesn't actively join T.C. in bullying the others, instead sitting on the sidelines.
77* InSeriesNickname:
78** The factions all employ the use of these with "faction names".
79** Evan and Jason refer to each other as "Ev" and "Silly" (pronounced see-lee) respectively. Marionette and Jason also indulge in this trope with nicknames of "Nette" and "Sil" for one another.
80** GarageBand Freakshow Rock use nicknames for each other and have faction names that double as online pseudonyms. Evan, Jason and Marionette also have online pseudonyms they use in the same manner as Freakshow Rock.
81** Benjamin Barnaby, Jamie Janis, Dayna Darla and Tina Casey are nicknamed with their own initials and use them more than their own names.
82* JuniorHigh: Evan, Jason and Marionette attend one just a few blocks away named "Aemulus Junior High".
83* LetterMotif: The Bearns (paternal side of the Fazbear family) have a majority of family members with names beginning with F.
84* MamaBear: Marionette is viciously protective of others and entire Animatronic faction respect her like [[AlmightyMom a mother]] or friend (depending on age).
85* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: The story features Five Nights at Freddy's and crosses over with many fangames to round out and expand the cast.
86* MassiveNumberedSiblings: The Fox kids at 5 (6 if their deceased sister Roxy is counted). Bonnie also hints that some branches of his family have this.
87* MeaningfulName:
88** Arielle's maiden name is Henson, referring to Creator/JimHenson, a pioneer in puppetry. Fittingly, she's the maternal grandmother of [[PerversePuppet Marionette]].
89** Many Animatronics have surnames relating to the animals of their canon selves e.g. Saffron and Sara Siraetius (from ''Sciuridae'' which is the family of squirrels), Nat Felidaeza & Orion Fielidyne (both surnames are derived from the family name for cats). Others have the animal name built into the surname e.g. Barney Lapin (which is "rabbit" in French), Cody Cuetlachtli (the Nahuatl word for "coyote", Blaine '''Toro'''na ("toro" meaning "bull" in Spanish), Matt '''Rat'''trus (rat for, well...a rat). Some use onomatopoeic sounds to create surnames Sam Barkerson (bark being the sound a dog makes), Sheila Mowmonz (derived from the meow sound of a cat). And some have names which sound similar to the animal Ray Rackon (raccoon) and Pete Picks (pig).
90** Salado Blue Elementary School is named for the town and the color of Animdude, Creator/ScottCawthon's avatar.
91** "Aemulus" from Aemulus Jr. High is Latin for "rival" and where the name "Emily" is taken from, referencing the character of Henry Emily.
92** Aurum High School contains "aurum" which is the Latin word for gold, a prominent color in F.N.a.F. with Golden Freddy.
93* MeltingPotNomenclature: Most of the characters feature wide variety of names that are diverse as the cast themselves. Names come from all sorts of languages like French, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish and more.
94* MissingMom: Delia Johnson, Paul's wife and the triplets'[[note]] B.B., J.J. and D.D.[[/note]] mother who is now deceased.
95* NewTransferStudent: Seán, who's new to the U.S.A. and doesn't know what he's doing half the time
96* NonindicativeName: School Days starts out with school being the big focus but gradually shifts to the big mystery, turning its title into a slightly IronicName. Holi-Days is also an example as many of its chapter involves school as the main focus.
97* OCStandIn: The fic features a vast array of characters ranging from ones with a lot of canon characterization to very little and expands on them quite a lot. Endo 01 and Endo 02 are main characters in twins Evan and Jason, and quite a few backgrounders like The RAT from VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys (known as Matt) have [[AMFMCharacterization playlists of specific music that factor into their personalities and in-universe music tastes]].
98* OddNameOut:
99** The Cottontails/Haisses and Trapps have a majority of German and English names, and then there's the Irish "Seán".
100** The [=McEggson=]/Gallen y Pacheco family have children with feminine names like Tina Casey, Adalind, Alve Tia, Nina and then there's Chica, the Spanish word for "girl".
101** The Fox family children consist of Greek-named Jason & Evangélion, alliterative Fionn & Fianna, and...Eli. If the rest of the family are taken into account however, then it's the children minus Eli, parents and grandparents[[note]]Lilian, Reynard, Wilburt, Lisabeth, Austin, Vivian, Jason, Evan, Fionn, Fianna[[/note]] who stand out with their lack of Biblical first names as the rest of the family have them[[note]]Ștefan (Romanian variation of Stephen from St. Stephen), Delilah, Levi, Jeremiah, Mary Elizabeth, Ezekiel[[/note]].
102*** Taken a step even further, Jason is the odd name out for having a Latin middle name[[note]]Silva meaning "forest"[[/note]], while the other children have Biblical middle names[[note]]Daniel (Evan), Magdalena (Fianna), Reuben (Fionn), Amos (Eli), Aaron (Levi) & Job (Ezekiel)[[/note]].
103* OneSteveLimit:
104** * Played straight with the name "Freddy". There are multiple kids taking on the position of characters named "Freddy", but only one of them is actually named "Freddy"[[note]]Freddy Fazbear (Bearns)[[/note]]. The others are similar-sounding names[[note]]Friedrich Berne[[/note]], use "Freddy" as a nickname[[note]]Fredericka "Freddy" Kumamoto[[/note]] or are named after something that relates to another part of the character.[[note]]Gordon (sounds like "golden") & Aurelio (means "golden")[[/note]]
105** Inverted with other names however:
106*** Blake (Blake Naylan & Blake Stelidome)
107*** Bonnie (Bonnie Cottontail (Haisse) & Bonnie Glade)
108*** Fritz (Fritz Jeremiah, Fritz Smith and Fritz Vulpes)
109*** Jeremy (Jeremy Fitzgerald & Jeremy Hasen)
110*** Jon/John (Jon Suarez & John O'Cronin)
111*** Matt (Matt Rattrus & Matt Hawthorn)
112*** Nick (Nick Simpson & Nick Cotton)
113*** Sam (Sam Suarez, Sam Barkerson, Sam Cotton & Sam Radian)
114*** Sara/Sarah (Sara Siraetius, Sara Vextant & Sarah Birch)
115*** Scott (Scott Suarez, Scott Cotton & Scott Cawthon)
116*** Sheila/Shayla (Sheila Mowmonz & Shayla Nicks)
117*** Simon (Simon Glade & Simon Jeremiah)
118*** (Surname) Stone (siblings Ronan, Jen, Gray Stone & unrelated-by-blood Thomas Stone)
119** Played mostly straight with several similar-sounding names:
120*** Freddy F. (B.), Fredericka "Freddy" K. & Friedrich B.
121*** Bonnie C. (H.), Bonnie G. & Banī M.
122*** Chica McE. (G. y P.) & Chicha B.
123*** Emmet P. & Emét B.
124*** Jonathan S. Jon S. & John O'C.
125* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Benjamin Barnaby, Jamie Janis and Dayna Darla are only known by their initials (B.B., J.J., D.D.) and seldom are they referred to by name, even amongst each other (although B.B. is occasionally called "Benji by some"). Evan as well as almost nobody calls him Evangélion or even knows his full first name.
126* OutdatedName: The 2nd name in Jamie Janis' name "Janis" stands out as being quite old compared to the other names used, as does Blaine.
127* PassingNotesInClass: Evan is notorious for doing this to assist in the spread of gossip or informing people of the rumors spread about them. Losing his voice only made this worse.
128* RaceLift: Inevitable since animatronic animals don't have races. The cast is quite a diverse list of ethnicities and skin colors due to the author trying to match the skin tones of the games to real-world equivalents (meaning any dark-colored animatronics would be dark-skinned ethnicities and so on) and also avoiding any ambiguous skin tropes.
129* RelatedInTheAdaptation:
130** The main animatronics of [=FNaF=] are now all related to their respective counterparts i.e. Golden Freddy, Freddy, Toy Freddy and Fredbear are all brothers.
131** The Marionette of ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' and Reverse Puppet/Vinnie of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys'' are first cousins in this adaptation while neither share any connection in their respective canons outside of design and name.
132** As a sort of referential joke, [[VideoGame/TheReturnToFreddys Sugar the Cat]] who is a stolen, recolored and genderswapped version of [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys Candy Cat]] is now the blue cat's cousin.
133* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The Fox family all feature names relating to Celtic[[note]]Fionn from the hero Fionn [=MacCumhaill=], Fianna from the band of warriors of the same name[[/note]] and Greek mythologies[[note]]Jason from Ίάσων (Iásōn/Jason) who led the Άργοναῦται (Argonautai/Argonauts)[[/note]] and the Bible[[note]]Evangélion refers to the gospel and translates to "good news" and sans Austin, Vivian, Lilian, Reynard, Wilburt and Lisabeth every other family member is named for a Biblical figure.[[/note]]
134* SchoolClubsAreSeriousBusiness: The Animtronics, Nightguards and Honoraries take their faction clubs as exceptionally serious business in contrast to The Neutrals, who see them as crazy and overzealous.
135* SchoolForcedUsTogether: The gang ended up becoming friends purely because the school setting put them together and out-of-school adventures requiring supervision by the older ones.
136* ScienceFair: Short 11, Crew Lockman's interview describes science fair prep and one taking place spliced in-between personal comments, asides and a [[spoiler:therapy session]].
137* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan:
138** Downplayed with the twins: Evan is more emotionally open while Jason is more brash.
139** Played straight with Bonnie being more quiet and emotionally calm while Fionn is more passionate and loud.
140* ShowWithinAShow:
141** ''School Days'' features the ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' game series and associated fangames as canon games within the universe as the story takes place in a mix of the games' universe and real world.
142** It also has a fictional French book series named "Monstres Mythiques" (Mythical Monsters) that Marionette is an avid reader of.
143* SiblingRivalry: Evan and Jason, Freddy and Teddy, Bonnie and Toby and B.B. and J.J. to D.D. though some are more hostile and aggressive than others. Also present with the parents, even as adults, most notable between Mrs. Samantha [=McEggson=] and Tía Casey Castillo.[[note]]Samantha's sister.[[/note]]
144* SmallTowns: The story takes place in the rea-world town of Salado, Texas with a population of around 2,800.
145* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Shorts 1 to 11 are fairly tame if a bit odd with how it reads before Chapter 1 bring in the sudden creepiness with [[spoiler:Jason's sudden haunting by the ghosts in the closet]].
146* TamerAndChaster: The ''School Days'' version of ''VideoGame/FiveNightsInAnime'' are turned into young girls (10-12) and the sexual elements are nuked out of existence and replaced with cute {{Moe}} instead. Done deliberately in-universe by Fredericka and the others due to [[{{Squick}} obvious reasons]]. The game itself does still exists in its original form however.
147* TheArtifact: Several remnants of past rewrites remain despite being irrelevant and completely out of place regarding the very realism-based and mostly grounded nature of the fic post-rewrite.
148** The Abnormal Normal Bus Ride, Interview No. 2 and PE Problems feature the cast riding the same bus and having lunch together despite Jason, Evan and Marionette not being in the elementary school. This is a holdover from when those three were in 5th grade in older renditions until the 2022 Reignited Rewrite bumped them up to middle school and therefore moved them out of the building. This is {{hand wave}}d in-universe by the middle school undergoing repairs requiring the students to use a few of the the elementary school facilities such as the gym.
149** The title itself as well turns into an IronicName and NonIndicativeName as the mystery becomes a bigger focus instead of slice-of-life school stuff.
150** The shock collar and Mallory's incredibly odd characterization are from the very first drafts of the story and still stick out as odd and unfitting though they will be worked into the story soon.
151** [[VideoGame/TheReturnToFreddys Sugar the Cat]] (named Sheila Mowmonz in the fic) is the only character from her game to be included and her inclusion alongside internet hoax Sparky (Sam Barkerson) is a remnant of the very first character line-up of the Nightverse Series as a whole (circa late 2014). Despite no other characters of online hoaxes or T.R.t.F. being featured ever, these two stick around anyway.
152** Blake's surname of "Stelidome" came from a word related to badgers but after several years, the word has been completely forgotten.
153** Collin "Cassette Man" Cass is listed on the VideoGame/FiveNightsAtCandys wiki under "Audio Recorders" (alongside F.N.a.C. Phone Guy) but he has no article nor real mention of his existence elsewhere. For all intents and purposes, he's not a character, but he still exists anyway and his absence is a RunningGag.
154* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry:
155** Chica despises her sister for endlessly bullying her over her interests, accent, appearance and more as well as being an AttentionWhore and forever refusing to leave her be. T. C. looks down upon her sister for socializing with weirdos, her friendship with Fionn, music tastes and everything else really. Both have a painfully strained relationship with little hope of repair or any sisterly love to grow at all.
156** J.J. is the smart one who while D.D. is the pretty one
157* ThemeNaming: Many examples can be found all over the fic such as multiple Animatronics having animal-related surnames, meaningful names and genius bonuses and more. Also, the morally mysterious characters tend to have names beginning with W and V and surnames beginning with A.
