Characters / Just Another Night at Freddy's

The characters from Just Another Night at Freddy's.

Animatronics

Freddy Fazbear

• Berserk Button: Freddy is always nice and polite, but don't threaten or kidnap his friends, as Trout learned the hard way.
• Break the Haughty: Freddy's 'method' of dealing with Trout in Competition. The latter emerges pale and silent.
• Obsessively Organized: Freddy spends most of the nights in the pizzeria aligning the furniture and decorations perfectly, and is usually none too pleased when the antics of the others ruin his work.
• The Leader: He is this to the animatronics.

Bonnie the Bunny

• Break the Cutie: Bonnie bursts into hysterics when the animatronics realise that the endoskeletons they've been suiting up have been humans all along. Later on during the fourth chapter of For the Fans, she's forced to reenact the Bite of '87 for a movie as the producers are under the belief that she was the culprit, despite Foxy's protests, and she does not take it well, especially since she has to bite down on a dummy that bursts with a torrent of fake blood. Fortunately, this doesn't tarnish her new friendship with the young actress who played the bite victim, even after the animatronics are discovered not to be costumed humans.
• Cheerful Child: Bonnie is this to her group.
• Genki Girl: Bonnie is by far the most friendly and childlike member of the animatronics. For example, she enjoys drawing, is prone to giving painfully tight hugs, is absolutely ecstatic when Mike's parents visit, believes in Santa and is the most visibly distraught after Mike's freak out during The Break In and his faux-murder in What Came Before, and is the only one out of the five to not take part in the snowball fight that ensues in Cabin Fever.
• Hair-Raising Hare: Subverted — Bonnie is just as frightening in-universe as she is in canon, but if anything, she is among the most benevolent of the animatronics.

Chica the Chicken

• Berserk Button: Chica does not take the kitchen getting damaged well at all.
• Deadpan Snarker: Chica loves her sarcasm nearly as much as she loves cooking.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chica is abrasive to hell and back, but she will relent if the situation calls for it. Pushing Bonnie too far is a good way to see her softer side.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Chica, along with Foxy, takes way too much pride in preparing the fake body and orchestrating Mike’s "death" in What Came Before, much to the distress of the others.
• Obliviously Evil: In night two, she doesn't see any problem with putting the guy talking to her in a suit- after all, she's wearing one.
• Supreme Chef: Chica, especially when compared to the chefs of the pizzeria who at one point even attempt to make a rabbit-shaped pizza for Easter, which predictably ended horribly. In one of the prequel one-shots, Mike approaches her behind the curtains during the day to jokingly ask for one of her pizzas during his shift, and thanking her the next day when she does so helps the animatronics realize that the endoskeleton in the office is actually a human.
• Took a Level in Kindness: The solar storm in chapter three of For the Fans causes sass-master Chica to abandon all of her jerk traits and assume a Team Mom persona. It's a bit jarring, putting it bluntly. Arianna of all people is left gobsmacked by the sheer level of character loss.

Foxy the Pirate Fox

• And I Must Scream: Foxy in Competition is set up as the villain to the Pizza Baron show. He's aware the entire time. Needless to say, Foxy gets to take out all of that regret-fueled rage on Christina.
• Berserk Button: Foxy does not take well to being touched or Pirate Cove getting damaged or otherwise altered.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: Foxy is by far the most aggressive of the animatronics and as mentioned above there are a myriad of ways to set him off. However, out of all of them, he's probably the best with children and prone to breaking down into a sobbing wreck when something happens to them, especially if he's responsible, intentionally or otherwise.
• Heroic BSoD: In Competition, Foxy goes through this after being forced to scare children for a performance for Pizza Baron.
• Hates Being Touched: Foxy becomes extremely aggressive whenever most adults touch him. A bit of rough handling from a parent who was a little tenacious to get a photo with him was the cause of the Bite of '87.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sure, Foxy has an incredibly short temper, Hates Being Touched, and has attempted to kill several people, but when he realises that Bonnie will be performing the Bite of '87 in front of the film cameras in Chapter 4 of For the Fans, he rushes back to Freddy's to do the part instead of Bonnie, who is much more emotionally fragile than him.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Foxy, along with Chica, takes way too much pride in preparing the fake body and orchestrating Mike’s "death" in What Came Before, much to the distress of the others.
• Oblivious to Love: Foxy is completely unaware that one of the pizzeria's waitresses was trying to hit on him back in the eighties.
• Talk Like a Pirate: Foxy always does it. Except in Night Seven Chapter Three, where the solar storm altered his personality into a terrified wimp.

Old Animatronics

Toy Freddy

Toy Chica

• Genki Girl: In terms of being energetic and friendly, Toy Chica isn't that far behind Bonnie.

Toy Bonnie

• Gender-Blender Name: While his name is Bonnie, he is male.

Mangle

• Parental Substitute: Mangle is essentially BB's guardian. Back when the original pizzeria was open, she usually left Kid's Cove to watch over him, and is programmed to prioritise ensuring his safety if and when danger arises.
• The Unintelligible: Mangle's damaged voicebox produces an immense level of static which is only worsened by the radio interference it also emits, with only a couple of legible words here and there. BB acts as her translator for the others.
• Yank the Dog's Chain: The solar storm ends up fixing Mangle's voicebox in Mangle's Day Out, and she manages to exit the original pizzeria through a hole in the ceiling after moving some panels. For the first time in decades, she finds a baby and is desperate to nurture it when she discovered it had a fever. Unfortunately, she frightens the youth's mother with her appearance, gets into a standoff with the police after kidnapping the baby, surrending it after it starts freaking out over her appearance, and then her voice box ends up breaking again.

BB

• Annoying Younger Sibling: BB, like always. Averted with the Toy animatronics, who aren't really bothered, but played straight with Mike, who gets annoyed after mere minutes of BB's presence.
• Cheerful Child: BB is this to his groups.
• The Pollyanna: Hardly anything can bring down BB's spirits for more than a couple of minutes at most. His solution to many a depressing situation will generally involve trying to cheer people up with balloons.

The Puppet

• The Atoner: Several of Marion's reasons for helping Mike survive the night at the old restaurant include how Golden Freddy forced him to help with the first set of murders along with wanting to save the other animatronics.
• Big Good: Marion is shaping up into being this, especially because he's the only haunted animatronic.
• Gender-Blender Name: Marion, short for Marionette, is male.

Golden Freddy

• Berserk Button: Goldie really hates being called Eddy.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": Goldie loathes being called Eddy more than he loathes everything else.
• Faux Affably Evil: Golden Freddy is seemingly friendly — initially — towards the Marionette, though some of his lines are rather ominous. Of course, this is Golden Freddy we're talking about...]]
• I Have Many Names: Goldie Fredbear, also known as Yellow Freddy, Golden Freddy, and Eddy.

Pizza Baron Animatronics

Baron von Pizza

• Funetik Aksent: His German accent is very pronounced in his dialogue. "The" becomes "Zhe", for example.
• Gratuitous German: Baron von Pizza's associated Pizza Baron stereotype, full stop. He's a German Shepherd with a thick German accent, dressed in lederhosen, and frequently peppers his speech with German phrases.
• My God, What Have I Done?: In Chapter 7 of Competition, Freddy is able to explain to him that Trout orchestrated the theft of Foxy and subsequently forcing the latter to be the villain in Pizza Baron's shows. This horrifies Baron to the point of getting the other animatronics to stand down, allowing Freddy to "have words" with Trout.
• Put on a Bus: He and the other Pizza Baron animatronics are sent to an amusement park where they'd feature in a time-travel ride after Pizza Baron's closure.

Maxwell Circuit

• Affectionate Nickname: "Spark Bark", courtesy of Nathan.
• Apologetic Attacker: Maxwell and Bonnie end up in one during Competition's climax. Maxwell manages to get an actual hit in and immediately stops to apologize and ask if Bonnie's okay.
• Signature Headgear: A baseball cap, to go with his Totally Radical personality and appearance.
• Totally Radical: Maxwell Circuit, Pizza Baron's resident keytar player, was designed to be ridiculously hip in hopes of entertaining an older audience.

Sir Drake

• Meaningful Name: Sir Drake is a dragon animatronic.
• This Is Unforgivable!: Once Freddy explains that Trout stole Foxy and forced him to be the villain against his will, Drake starts ranting about no-one having honor anymore.
  Drake: That scoundrel! And I would haft given mine life for him!
• Ye Olde Butchered English: To go along with the highly stereotypical themes present throughout Pizza Baron, Sir Drake talks like someone from the medieval age.

Other Animatronics

Springtrap

• Adaptational Heroism: Springtrap in FNAF 3 is the Big Bad, the ONLY animatronic that can actually kill you, and is haunted by the ghost of a psychopathic murder. In this fic, he's one of the most benevolent animatronics.
• Cute Mute: Springtrap is as friendly and innocent as a deteriorated and formerly corpse-ridden robot rabbit can be, but fails to speak a single word. Truman ends up having to rely on his phone to provide audio-based scares for him when Fazbear's Fright finally opens.
• Friend to All Children: Springtrap hesitates to continue performing on the first night of Fazbear's Fright being open after two brilliant parents decide to bring their young children along despite them barely reaching the age requirement, and he ends up making one of them start crying out of terror.
• Face of a Thug: Springtrap looks just as horrifically deteriorated as he is in canon, but if anything, he's friendly albeit overly dependant.
• Hair-Raising Hare: Subverted - Springtrap is just as frightening in-universe as he is in canon, but if anything, he is among the most benevolent of the animatronics.

Humans

Mike Schmidt

• Spared by the Adaptation: Obviously, Mike doesn't die or get fired.
• Terrible Artist: Mike can't draw to save his life. In Bonnie's words, his drawing of Chica looks like a block of cheese.

Arianna

• Bad Boss: Subverted with Arianna, who's more along the lines of being overly strict more than anything.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Arianna has one hell of a temper, but it's not hard to see why when you take into account all the shit she has to put up with being the manager of Freddy's, with the corpse-cleaning and how the pizzeria is struggling to barely break even month after month. It's rather weird just watching her filled with glee after the animatronics manage to pull off their demonic possession stunt in What Came Before.
• Locked Out of the Loop: Arianna initially wasn't aware of the animatronics having actual sentience; she finally discovers it in Night Four.
• Pet the Dog: Since she can’t accept Foxy's request to reopen Pirate Cove due to legal matters involving the Bite, in exchange for the gang intimidating the publisher of a magazine that had an article defaming the restaurant into revealing which former night guard wrote it, Arianna gets Nathan to uninstall the daytime lockup program so that the animatronics at least have their free will during the day, although they're still not allowed to roam around during the day.

Nathan Grymes

• Ascended Extra: Originally, he was introduced during flashbacks in Night Two, until returning in Night Five as one of the important characters in the story. And he becomes more important in the prequel story called Golden Years.
• The Engineer: His role in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was a tech specialist.

Phil Garrison

• The Atoner: In Night Six, it's revealed that Phil is trying to get Gerard arrested, since he helped Gerard in the murders.
• Saving Christmas: Phil dresses up as Santa and gives presents to the animatronics in an attempt to get them out of their funk after Chica and Foxy accidentally ruin the innocence of dozens of children and Bonnie with their stunt during the pizzeria's Christmas party.
• Spared by the Adaptation: It is revealed near the end of What Came Before that Phone Guy is still alive. He had a heart attack at the end of the Night Four phone call, and the animatrons interpreted it as the endoskeleton breaking because they put too much pressure on it. They ultimately decided not to stuff him into the suit since they thought he was broken, and wouldn't be any good for the show. Phone Guy survived the heart attack and is currently using the Puppet as a disguise.
• Walking Spoiler: His role in the story and who he is are pretty important.

Gerard

• Big Bad: He is the person responsible for the murders of five children in 1979.
• Karma Houdini: He managed to hide from the police for almost 15 years. Averted in Night Six, where he is actually arrested.
• Would Hurt a Child: Gerard killed five children.

Truman

• The Kid with the Remote Control: A young adult variant. Since he's the first person Springtrap saw after his reboot, he became his new handler. The animatronic can follow the other employees' commands, but his first instinct is to go for Truman.
• Stop Copying Me: Truman discovers Springtrap's overwhelming obedience after he goes online during the middle of the day after fully recharging and having been de-corpsed and cleaned out. He gets him to copy a few basic actions like lifting his hands and feet, and then gets the bright idea to mime strangling himself.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's kind of a wimp and mentions he doesn't like horror stories. Of course he ends up working at a haunted mansion.

Dalton

• The Bus Came Back: Dalton returns as an Adventure Park security guard along with Jeremy Fitzgerald in For The Fans' first one-shot. Dalton returns again as a cameo in Cabin Fever.

Henry Fazbach

Jeremy Fitzgerald

• Red Herring: To the police, he was the main suspect in the 1979 murders.

Chelsea

• We Hardly Knew Ye: Chelsea, the eponymous replacement night guard of Changing of the Guard resigns after three nights and two chapters of work after being pressured by the animatronics to do so.

Damon Trout

• Bad Boss: Trout plays it brutally straight.
• Break the Haughty: Freddy's 'method' of dealing with him in Competition. The latter emerges pale and silent.
• Bring My Brown Pants: Following the above incident, Trout pissed himself in terror.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: Damon Trout, owner of Pizza Baron.
• Faux Affably Evil: Trout can go from threatening to kill Mike one minute to having a saccharine, yet just as vile tone the next.
• Hate Sink: Trout has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is lampshaded to hell and back in Competition's author's notes.
• What Could Have Been: Originally, Damon Trout was supposed to be killed by his animatronics, but the author changed it.

Christina Lambert

• Hate Sink: Christina has zero redeeming qualities whatsoever. This is lampshaded to hell and back in Competition's author's notes.
• Karmic Death: Trigger-happy Christina has her skull mauled by Foxy when she threatens to kill Mike again once the Freddy's animatronics show up at Pizza Baron to save them.
• Psycho for Hire: Christina was hired by Trout to steal one of the Fazbear animatronics and, following the kidnapping of Foxy and Mike, was an incentive to keep them following all orders.
• Trigger-Happy: Christina. If she wants someone to do something for her, she'll happily threaten to make use of her gun. This ends predictably when she tries to force Foxy into obeying her commands at the risk of Mike's life.
• Your Head Asplode: In Competition, this is what happens to Christina, coupled with Brain Food.
