Afton Family
As a whole
- Adaptational Villainy: While they weren't truly evil in the original series, here, Mrs. Afton and the Afton Brothers are very much sinister.
- Axe-Crazy: They are either complete psychopaths or losing sanity.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: At first glance, they are a family of incompetent and unpleasant people. Look closer, however, and you'll see that William and Michael are skilled engineers, William, Eleanor, and Michael are skilled with finances, and Elizabeth and the Unnamed Child are skilled manipulators.
- Creepy Family: They are all, in some way or another, supernatural. William, Eleanor, and Elizabeth all possess animatronics, Michael is an immortal zombie, and the Unnamed Child doesn't even exist.
- Color-Coded Characters:
- William and Michael: Purple
- Eleanor: Blue
- Elizabeth: Red and White
- Unnamed Child: Black
- Feuding Families: With the Emilies.
- It Runs in the Family: They are all very much deranged, or at the very least, unpleasant. They also appear to have a similar scheming pose, and are excellent at task management.
- The Family That Slays Together: They are a family of psychopaths that have helped each other kill on occasion.
William Afton/Springtrap
- Anatomy Anomaly: Possesses a insanely long neck.
- Arch-Enemy:
- To Henry. While the two were friends before, now they hate each other to the core. This entire rivalry is because Henry didn't pay William five dollars.
- To Andrew. Since William murdered him, Andrew was pleased with getting revenge on William and was amused by him getting tortured. This hatred seems more one-sided, as William seems to only think of Andrew as a object of mockery.
- Benevolent Boss : In a shocking twist, a poster in Part 2 reveals he actually pays his employees pretty well... right next to a note by Henry that says now they don't.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Somewhat literally; While tending to proudly prance around in a yellow rabbit fursuit, he's still a far more competent businessman than his usual partners, and is the more talented engineer of the two.
- Disproportionate Retribution : And boy howdy, how. He murdered over a dozen kids, destroyed several pizzerias, ruined his business partner's (and his own) life.... because Henry forgot to pay him back his 5 dollars and William didn't want to bother asking a cashier to split a $20 bill.
Michael Afton
- Amazing Technicolor Population: His case is an odd one by the standards of the rest of the series; while everybody else that this trope applies to was naturally like that, Michael had normal, human skin as opposed to his parents, but after being scooped, his body rots over time, until he's fully purple by the time Ennard ejects themself from him.
- Crazy Enough to Work: After being reduced to nothing more than some walking skin and flesh, he decides to regenerate his organs by shoving himself in a freezer. This works... at least, enough for him to go out into the public once again.
- Gaslighting: He is subject to this once Ferdinand Von Bernard attacks the fake house, William explaining that the Nightmare animatronics were just a dream.
- Self-Imposed Challenge: In-Universe. He deliberately made the animatronics as aggressive as he could instead of disabling them when William asked him to, just to challenge himself.
Elizabeth Afton/Circus Baby
- Batman Gambit: She proves to be shockingly good with this, primarily to members of her own family by daring her mother to help them escape, and stringing Micheal along into another escape plan that eventually involves his death.
- Self-Made Orphan: Attempted, at least. Her escape plan was made under the pretense that the man they were setting up was William. Instead, it ends up being her brother.
- Like You Were Dying: She's revealed to have made a bucket list despite being no older than 10 when she died - complete with grammatical errors making that apparent - and her tenure as Scrap Baby allows her to fulfill most of it.
- Selective Obliviousness: After trying to crawl into Micheal's pizzeria to start anew Fazbear killing spree, he immediately shows her a restraining order he had drafted after the last time she was near him. She proceeds to live in his ventilation and convince herself that this was all a gift to her from her father.
Unnamed Afton Child
- Adaptational Villainy: This version of the Crying Child killed two workers at Fredbear's, one accidental in Harold's case and one intentional in Trevor's case.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: While playing Uno with his brother, Michael, he slips extra cards into the deck. He causes Michael to draw 4 eight times in a row. When Michael gets rightfully angry at this, the child pretends to cry 24/7 to mess with him.
- Unperson: Perhaps a self-inflicted version of this. After waking up after his concussion ,the child tells his brother that he "never existed". The child then fuses with Michael and disappears. When Michael asks his father about this, William claims Michael never had a "little brother".
Eleanor Schmidt/Ballora
- Badass Bookworm: She may be the company's accountant, but she's also a volatile and cutthroat businesswoman possessing a six foot tall animatronic and is just as capable of killing someone as anyone else in the group.
- Competition Freak: She is outraged at the idea that someone can be better at something than her, regardless of whether she had any interest before. Elizabeth uses this to goad her into helping with the escape plan.
- Custody Battle: The key thing that lets Circus Baby realize Ballora is Eleanor is the fact that she's so deeply enraged about her finances, remembering that the custody battle between her and William ended in Eleanor having to pay child support.
- Girl Friday: She worked as an accountant as Eleanor, and puts those skills to use as Ballora in order to keep the Entertainment and Rental business up and running. When she's fired and moves on to become part of Ennard, the place goes bankrupt within a few months.
- Parental Neglect: To a hilarious degree. Upon being forced to share Ennard with four of the other ghost children and Baby, Ballora declares it's time for Baby to leave the nest, and proceed to shift her off into a piece of Ennard and throw it out. This backfires immediately since the new children now outnumber Ballora and decide she doesn't get to say anything from this point onward.
- The Power of Hate: Eleanor manages to fuse with Ballora through blind rage alone, with no indication she even needed to die like the others.
Emily Family
As a whole
- Beware the Nice Ones: They are very polite and well-meaning (especially when compared to their rivals, The Aftons), but this doesn't stop Henry from burning down a pizzeria or Charlotte from Terrorizing Fazbear Entertainment.
- Feuding Families: With the Aftons
- Unlikely Hero: They are both incompetent and clumsy, yet they have both played a role in the defeat of the Aftons.
Henry Emily
- Bad Boss : Constantly underpays his employees, ignores basic safety regulations and violates every single labor law in the known multiverse, not to even mention the fact that he covers up Phone Guy's death.
- Familial Foe: Pretty much the entire Afton family has a reason to hate him.
- Money Dumb : Henry has next to no money management skills and his funds always run out VERY quickly of he doesn't have someone looking over them.
- Radio Voice: Since he speaks through a cassette during Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, he also has a slight radio voice here.
Charlotte Emily/Puppet
- Butt-Monkey: She's been killed, abandoned by her friends for a prank, captured, trapped in the vents of a trap pizzeria, and then burned down. Fair to say, her life's not the best.
- Haunted Technology: She haunts The Puppet after being killed.
- Look Behind You: Her way of avoiding embarrassment for not making a good cake for her friends.
Fazbear Entertainment
Phone Guy
- Early-Bird Cameo : He appears early on in the first video, running away from Ferdinand Von Bernard's rampage.
- Irony: He wrote a guide on how to not get assassinated right before getting assassinated. Lampshaded by the video.
- Undying Loyalty : He's willing to die for the company that mistreats him and his favorite mascot.
Fritz Smith
- Ultimate Job Security: A variant; While he keeps getting fired or otherwise loses the job, he always seems to find his way back to Fazbear Entertainment.
Non-Affiliated Characters
Phone Dude
- The Atoner : Exiles himself after his plot to kill the Founders of Fazbear Entertainment Fails.
