The star of the show! A big cuddly bear from the American South here to sing you your favorite hits!Freddy Fazbear was introduced in January of 1984 with the rebrand from Fredbear's Family Diner to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, though his origins date back to the very beginning of the business in 1979. Many people don't know that Freddy and Friends were the original idea by co-founder Henry Emily for the restaurant, but they were changed due to budgetary reasons at the time.He would undergo design changes later down the line, but during his stay at the Colorado Springs location, he sported a white-striped black top hat, a big black bow tie, two black buttons, and his signature microphone. He's a big brown bear with blue eyes, a big nose, and three freckles on each side of his snout. He also has a claw on each digit on his hands and feet, and stands around 6'8" not including his top hat or ears.Due to him being the star of the show and namesake of the restaurant, Freddy Fazbear would go on to become one of the most popular children's characters among the likes of Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald.He is voiced by Brant McCarthy.

He's a big blue rabbit with red eyes, a cotton tail, and two floppy ears on the top of his head. He is also most commonly seen on stage sitting on a tree stump, unlike the rest of the band that stand. When stood up, he is around 6'8'', not including his ears.

Chica not only provides the backup vocals in the band but also helps prepare the pizzas along with her best friend Carl the Cupcake!Chica the Chicken was introduced in January of 1984 with the rebrand from Fredbear's Family Diner to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, though her origins date back to the very beginning of the business in 1979. Many people don't know that Freddy and Friends were the original idea by co-founder Henry Emily for the restaurant, but they were changed due to budgetary reasons at the time.She would undergo design changes later down the line, but during her stay at the Colorado Springs location, she sported a white bib with the phrase "LET'S EAT!". She's a big yellow chicken with eyelashes, purple eyes, a tuft of feathers coming out of the top of her head, and orange bird feet. She's commonly associated with her best friend Carl the Cupcake who she holds on stage on a plate in her left hand.

When Foxy isn't busy entertaining the older kids at Freddy's, he's out sailing the seven seas and plundering for booty! ...That be treasure, you know?Foxy the Pirate was introduced in January of 1984 with the rebrand from Fredbear's Family Diner to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place, though his origins date back to the very beginning of the business in 1979. Many people don't know that Freddy and Friends were the original idea by co-founder Henry Emily for the restaurant, but they were changed due to budgetary reasons at the time.He would undergo design changes later down the line, but during his stay at the Colorado Springs location, he sported a black eyepatch on his right eye, a hook on his right hand, a pair of brown shorts, and a peg leg. He's a big red fox with yellow eyes, whiskers, tufts of fur on his head, cheeks, chin and shoulders, a claw on each digit of his hands and feet, and a big fluffy tail. He's unique because he can be found on his own stage separate from the rest of the band called Pirates Cove. It even has a kid's crawl maze running underneath it, but unfortunately it was closed down in the mid '80s. He stands around 6'8'', not including his ears.After a break-in in December of 2002, the bots were found vandalized and damaged, but Foxy got the worst of it. There were several large holes and tears in his suit, and while the other bots were able to be repaired, Foxy would remain decommissioned at that location until its closure.

Chica's pet cupcake and cooking partner!Carl the Cupcake was introduced in January of 1984 with the rebrand from Fredbear's Family Diner to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.He would undergo design changes later down the line, but during his stay at the Colorado Springs location, he sat upon a small silver plate and had a lit yellow and white candle sticking out of him that could light up. He is a small pink cupcake with big buck teeth and two googly eyes. He is most commonly seen in Chica's left hand on stage.

Chica's old friend and background singer for the band!Chica's Magic Rainbow was introduced in January of 1984 with the rebrand from Fredbear's Family Diner to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.Unlike many of the other characters, Chica's Magic Rainbow would only be present at the Colorado Springs location and would not return in future locations. Most people believe this is because many children and patrons of the restaurant found her appearance more disturbing than the other bots. She is a anthropomorphic rainbow character with metallic pink eyes, long eyelashes, a big red nose, and buck teeth. She resided on the main stage the left of Bonnie, and could be seen rising and lowering behind one of the stage's bush props.

Melvin Mushroom is the comic relief of the band and often finds himself at the butt of the joke. When he's not goofing off with the band, you can be sure to find him taking a nap in his stump.Melvin Mushroom was introduced in the fall of 1989 with the reopening of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place after a 4 year closure. The animatronic originated as a miscellaneous character produced by Murray Co., but was purchased and repurposed for Freddy's.He is a anthropomorphic mushroom character with yellow and green eyes, a big red nose, rosy red cheeks, buck teeth, and a ladybug named Matilda on his head. He resided on the main stage to the right of Chica, and could be seen rising from and lowering into his stump.Did you know? At one point, a Freddy's employee carved the letters F + B in a heart into Melvin's stump, referencing the relationship between Freddy and Bonnie vaguely hinted at in a few showtapes.

The Helpy character served as a sort of mascot for Fazbear employees, featuring on staff posters and eventually in an internal program set to automate negligible tasks. This program would later evolve into the short-lived HelpyPAL digital assistant.The character itself however originated from Murray Co. as a small wind up hamster toy, though it was unnamed. The toys were acquired in 1989 for the reopening, and the character was transformed into the lovable Helpy that we know today.Helpy is a small, off-white hamster with pink accents, rosy red cheeks, and big buck teeth. He sports a purple-striped black top hat, round glasses, a big purple bow tie, one black button, and a black business suit.Unlike the majority of Fazbear characters, Helpy the Hamster didn't exist physically in the form of an animatronic. His most popular appearance was the HelpyPAL digital assistant program. The program would do things like delete or close unnecessary files or programs to help free up storage and memory usage. He would also monitor internet usage to ensure employees weren't using the computers for unauthorized reasons. He even has a special mode created for security guards at Freddy's, alerting them of any movement detected at cameras.After Helpy's moderate success within the company, they decided to branch out the character into a personal computer assistant, due to the popularity of similar assistants at the time like BonziBuddy and KinitoPET. In early 2002 they launched HelpyPAL, "Your Helping Hand on the Web". Unfortunately, due to low funding, Fazbear Entertainment had cut some corners in the development of HelpyPAL. They had outsourced his programming, and thanks to that, HelpyPAL did not function like advertised and even included some malicious code. This would be yet another big blunder on Fazbear's record and HelpyPAL would be taken down later that year, though there were reports that the internal Helpy program was still in use.

Fredbear was one of the two first animatronic characters produced by Fazbear Entertainment in 1979 and was the predecessor to Freddy Fazbear.Due to being an early creation, the Fredbear animatronic did not have legs and was a half-body, however, this was obscured by the balcony style design of the Fredbear's main stage. He sported a purple-striped black bowler hat, a black pair of round spectacles, a white tuxedo front, a purple polka-dotted bowtie, three black buttons, and white gloves. In his right hand, he held a bright red microphone, and in his left, a cigar. He was a yellow bear with a big black nose, freckles dotting his snout, purple eyelids, and turquoise irises.It is likely there was also a walkaround suit for Fredbear, though we currently lack a description or any photos.This fact is debated, but some claim that the character was voiced by co-founder, Henry Emily. The animatronic stands at roughly 4'10", including the base but not including the bowler hat or ears. Fredbear resided at stage right, opposite of Bonnie Rabbit.Did you know? During the break-in in 2002, one of the burglars crammed the Fredbear animatronic, which previously resided in a storage closet, into the closed-off crawl maze under Pirates Cove, causing significant damage. None of the employees thought to check the maze and assumed he had been stolen. Thankfully, it was found and recovered and put back into storage during the closure in 2003.

Bonnie Rabbit was one of the two first animatronic characters produced by Fazbear Entertainment in 1979 and was the predecessor to Bonnie the Bunny.Due to being an early creation, the Bonnie Rabbit animatronic did not have legs and was a half-body, however, this was obscured by the balcony style design of the Fredbear's main stage. He sported a plain purple bowtie, three black buttons, white gloves, and a purple vest decorated with shiny metallic stars and black accents. His main accessory was his instrument, a banjo. He was a yellow rabbit, with buck teeth, two whiskers on each side of his snouth, a triangular brown nose, two big floppy ears, eyelashes, and green irises.There was also a walkaround suit for Bonnie Rabbit, with the main differences being plain black eyes instead of green, and more top teeth.This fact is debated, but some claim that the character was voiced by co-founder, William Afton. The animatronic stands at roughly 4'10", including the base but not including the ears. Bonnie Rabbit resides at stage left, opposite of Fredbear.After the rebrand, the Bonnie Rabbit animatronic was kept in a storage closet in one of the back rooms. It's believed that it was thankfully recovered and put in storage elsewhere during the closure in 2003.
