"Mature Content"
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

The Missing Children is a group of five children who were lured into the Safe Room of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza by William Afton disguised as Spring Bonnie in order to gain their trust and murder them.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of The Missing Children’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

History

Five Nights at Freddy's

The missing children are referred to throughout the newspapers regarding the appropriately named, Missing Children Incident. The reports describe that on multiple days, one of which was June 26, a total of five children were eventually lured into a backroom of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza by a man disguised as one of the franchise's mascots in order to gain their trust.

On the morning of June 27, the perpetrator was identified through video surveillance and promptly apprehended by the police. They charged the suspect, but the bodies of the kids were never found and they are presumed dead. The bodies were hidden inside the animatronics and eventually began to stink up the establishment, blood and mucus beginning to ooze from the characters' faces. These happenings heavily damage the reputation of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. and played a major role in the decline of the franchise.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2

The five children with brown shoes, blue pants, and blue shirts appear in the Go! Go! Go! death minigame. The player controlling Foxy is directed to run out of Pirate Cove to the five children in the adjacent area and celebrate with confetti, twice. On the third run, William Afton shows up in the corner of Pirate Cove and all of the kids are dead, before the minigame ends with Withered Foxy's jumpscare. The original mobile port had a slightly more narrow area, fitting only three children.

The missing children are present again in the minigame, Give Gifts, Give Life. The Puppet presents to them gift boxes for 100 points each. Once finished, the Puppet then "Gives Life" to them, represented by a classic animatronic head for each kid, also for 100 points each. The top left child is Chica, the top right is Freddy, the bottom left is Bonnie, and the bottom right is Foxy. Once finished, a fifth child appears in the center for one frame, before Withered Golden Freddy's jumpscare ends the minigame and gives an undetermined amount of points. The events depicted in this minigame canonically occur with the bottom right Foxy child being the last one, as shown in a screenshot from the Completion Ending of FFPS.

Five Nights at Freddy's 3

The children appear in the final end-of-night minigame, in which the player controls one of the kid's ghost. Upon entering the Safe Room, the other four block the exit, while the player character ghost chases William around, until he runs to put on the old Spring Bonnie suit. As the spring locks fail and kill William, the ghosts fade away and the minigame ends.

Throughout the game, the secret minigames' secret endings end with the player giving each one of the missing children a cake. Finally in the Happiest Day minigame, all of the children are gathered together with the spirit of Charlotte "Charlie" Emily, wearing masks of their represented animatronics, to give the fifth child inhabiting Golden Freddy a cake. They all disappear, leaving their masks behind and balloons representing them float away for the Good Ending, which depicts the empty animatronic heads to show the ghosts of the missing children as having been put to rest. In the default Bad Ending of the game, the character heads still have lights on to indicate their ghosts still possess the mascots.

The names of the missing children are revealed in the Lorekeeper Ending's end image, which shows all of their cenotaphs lined up on a hillside, with Charlotte's in the distance. Unlike most tombstones, there are no birthdays, "death" dates, nor last names or messages, merely their first names. The names on the tombstones correspond to the animatronic head positions in the endings of FNaF 3, with the exception of the rightmost obscured grave belonging to Golden Freddy.

The Children

The missing children are often treated as a singular group, with very few individual appearances specific to any given child.

Gabriel

Gabriel is the child in possession of Freddy Fazbear. He appears in Happiest Day after playing the BB's Air Adventure minigame and collecting the color-changing balloon, finding the cake in Mangle's Quest, and then fully completing BB's Air Adventure.

Fritz

Fritz is the boy possessing Foxy. Getting the cake ending in Stage01 unlocks him in Happiest Day.

Susie

Susie is the first victim of The Missing Children Incident, stuffed into and becoming Chica, according to her dialogue in Ultimate Custom Night. In FNaF 3, she is found in the secret ending of the Chica's Party minigame to be added to Happiest Day. She is only one of two kids to have the animatronic they possess match up to the minigame they are found in. Unlike the rest of the missing children, Susie later reappears in the Fruity Maze minigame, reflected in the screen when enough points are accumulated to increase the time. She has blue eyes with curly blonde hair and wears a white lace purple top. After the game is completed once, the music slows and dead dogs with pools of blood as Susie's reflection begins to frown. The second time the game is completed, coffins and flowers appear in the even more heavily corrupted minigame. Time will end and a cutscene plays out, with Spring Bonnie appearing behind a crying Susie in the reflection. William as Spring Bonnie says, "He's not really dead." in blue text. Susie responds in yellow, "He is over here." He responds simply with, "Follow me." Susie's dog had been hit by a car and killed, which William uses to his advantage in luring Susie to her death.

Jeremy

Jeremy is found in the Glitch Minigame and added to Happiest Day, when RWQFSFASXC gives him a cake. Jeremy possesses Bonnie, which correlates to the fact that RWQFSFASXC's minigame is the one in which he gets his cake.

Cassidy

When unlocking the Good Ending of FNaF 3, after the rest of the children have been given cake and are added to Happiest Day, Charlotte brings a cake to the table the child is positioned at. They don a Golden Freddy mask and disappear with the rest of the children, as the balloons float away and the masks are left behind.

They should scale to their novel counterparts due to being just as canon to the games, and are noted as alternate continuities[8].

Powers and Techniques

Sheer Will, Possession, & Limited Fusionism (Like others in the verse[14], their sheer will of vengeance melded[15] into the animatronic, making his body one with it[16]. Even if their bodies are separate from the animatronics, they can retain a form of[17] sorts that are incorporeal[18]), Undead Physiology (The Crying Children are spirits that are running off of vengeance[19]. They will only truly disappear after their birthday party is complete[20]), Flight (As ghost, they naturally can fly[21]), Incorporeality & Invisibility (As dead spirits they're naturally incorporeal, turn invisible after William Afton's supposed death[22]. Golden Freddy can disappear from sight and re-appear as merely a head[23]), Astral Projection (Even if their bodies are separate from the animatronics, they can retain a form of[24] sorts that are incorporeal[25]), Time Travel (Should scale to Shadow Bonnie, who can travel back to the Crying Child's party and give them cake[26]), Time Paradox Immunity (Grandfather Paradox; Unaffected by Shadow Bonnie going back in time and giving them cake as they still roam around in FNaF 1[27]), Extrasensory Perception (Can see Shadow Freddy[28]), Illusion Creation (The crying children can create hallucinations of their cries on walls[29]. Golden Freddy's appearance creates many text images to appear such as "it's me"[30]), Teleportation (Spirits such as Golden Freddy can teleport around[31]), Body Control (Spirits such as Golden Freddy remove his entire body and reappear as just a head[32]), Pocket Reality Manipulation & Dimensional Travel (Golden Freddy is the one who created the hell room in Ultimate Custom Night, along with all the animatronics[33]. Other spirits[34] can create[35] similar spaces[36] as shown in FNaF 3[37]. Other animatronics and spirits such as Shadow Bonnie can access these areas[38]), Mind Manipulation & Breaking the Fourth Wall (Golden Freddy's jumpscare can instantly crash the game, in-universe this would essentially be making the person go unconscious through overloading the character with their hallucinations[39]. Other spirits such as Shadow Bonnie are capable of doing the same[40])

Sometimes a timeline gets so full that the only way to tell a real story is have the story set in a different timeline, an alternate universe, a different location, or perhaps from a vantage point that isn't entirely what it appears to be."
