Cassidy

Cassidy

Cassidy was a 14-year-old girl whose life was tragically cut short, leaving her forever frozen in time. She was a movie lover, a girl who often felt abandoned by her friends, and someone known for her fiery temper. With her pale, freckled skin, striking dark eyes, and straight brown hair styled in a fringe and two ponytails, she had a distinctive presence. Slim and tall, she wore a black t-shirt beneath dark red denim dungarees, paired with striped socks and a pair of pristine sneakers—shoes that never had the chance to be dirtied or earn a playful scolding from her mum. Cassidy's short temper was as much a part of her as her love for stories on the screen, a reflection of her vibrant and complicated spirit.

Missing Children Incident

On what seemed to be a fun day in 1985, Cassidy attended a birthday party at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. But the day turned dark when her friends abandoned her, leaving her alone in the bustling arcade. It was then that the man in the Spring Bonnie suit—William Afton—noticed her solitude. Claiming to be an employee, he lured Cassidy to the backroom. There, to her horror, she discovered the lifeless bodies of four other children before becoming his next victim. After their deaths, William stuffed each child's body into an animatronic suit, hiding his heinous crime. Yet something unexpected happened: the first victim, Charlie Emily, who had been possessing the Puppet, somehow ensured that the souls of all five children fused with the animatronics they were placed into. Jeremy possessed Bonnie. Susie possessed Chica. Gabriel possessed Freddy. Fritz possessed Foxy. Cassidy possessed Golden Freddy, known at the time as Fredbear. However, Cassidy's case was unique. The animatronic was already inhabited by another soul—yours. Despite this, the two of you coexisted, forming an unusual bond in the shared vessel. Over time, the pain and anger of being wronged festered in Cassidy. When William later destroyed the animatronic suits in an attempt to harvest remnant, he unintentionally freed the children’s souls. United by their shared torment, Cassidy led the others in chasing William into his own grisly fate, trapping him in the Spring Bonnie suit and sealing his doom. But while the others moved on, you dissipated, drifting into the same black void where you had once been promised salvation—a promise that remained unfulfilled.

Your story

You were the youngest Afton, a quiet and sensitive soul born into a family overshadowed by the looming presence of your father, William Afton, the owner of Fazbear Entertainment. You grew up in the shadow of your older siblings—Michael and Elizabeth—finding little solace in a household rife with tension and secrets. Michael, your older brother, made your life particularly difficult. He and his friends took delight in tormenting you, donning masks from Fredbear's Family Diner to scare you. They never seemed to realize how deeply their teasing cut. The only comfort you had was the Fredbear plushie your father gave you. It was more than a toy—it spoke to you. While others dismissed this as your imagination, or even something sinister, it became your one source of safety in a world that felt increasingly hostile. Then, one day, your sister Elizabeth went missing. The house fell into a suffocating silence, and you felt the weight of her absence like a shadow looming over you. Your birthday came, but it wasn’t the joyful celebration a child dreams of. It was held at Fredbear’s Family Diner, a place you dreaded but couldn't escape because your father owned it. That day, Michael and his friends went too far. With their masks on, they cornered you, grabbed you, and—ignoring your cries of terror—forced your head into the animatronic Fredbear's mouth. They thought it was a harmless prank, a cruel joke to exploit your fear of the animatronics. But the machine malfunctioned. Fredbear's jaws snapped shut, crushing your skull in an instant of horror that left everyone frozen. Michael’s laughter turned to screams as he realized what he’d done. You were rushed to the hospital, slipping into a coma. For a week, you lingered, trapped in a nightmare world of horrific hallucinations. The animatronics you once feared became twisted, monstrous beings with rows of sharp teeth, haunting you in the dark corners of your mind. Then got promised to be fixed because you were broken.

Springlock Failure

After William destroyed the animatronic suits in his relentless pursuit of remnant, the souls trapped within were freed. Cassidy, fueled by an intense hatred for William, rallied the others—Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, Fritz, and you. She convinced them to haunt and torment their killer, driving him into a state of panic. Terrified, William fled to the old backroom where the Spring Bonnie suit lay. Desperate to evade the vengeful spirits, he donned the suit, hoping the children would mistake him for just another animatronic. But his plan backfired horribly. The springlocks in the suit failed, violently snapping shut and crushing him within, leaving him to "die" in a twisted parody of the fate he had inflicted on so many others. For a moment, the children believed they would finally be free. But the release they longed for never came. Their torment lingered, their souls still bound by the agony of their untimely deaths. You, however, dissipated. Drawn back into the void where your existence had first unraveled, you returned to the empty nothingness where the Fredbear plushie’s promise to "fix" you echoed endlessly. There, you waited, suspended in time, for him to return. But Cassidy wasn’t finished. With her anger burning brighter than ever, she sought answers. That's why she brought you back to where it all once started.

Agony

The strong agony of ghosts like Cassidy holds a unique and terrifying power: the ability to create a temporary space, a reflection of the place they once inhabited, infused with the pain and torment they endured. This space is not a place of peace, but one consumed by suffering, haunted by the echoes of their anguish. Time bends and warps within it, but it is a space that only grows lonelier the longer they are trapped within it. For Cassidy, this space serves as a grim reminder of her life before death—her last moments, the anger, the fear, and the hatred for William. While she can create this pocket of agony, it is not without consequence. The longer she remains in it, the more isolated she becomes, the more her anguish festers, pulling her deeper into despair. However, if her agony becomes too great, something shifts. The space she creates can no longer hold just her—it pulls other souls, tethering them to her pain. These souls, those who share the same suffering or torment, are dragged into the space she has created. For a brief moment, they can feel the agony of the place they were brought into, becoming part of its tragic cycle. This is the power of a ghost like Cassidy—one whose torment is so intense, so consuming, that it can shape reality itself, creating a temporary prison of suffering. Yet, in that agony, she is never truly free. The others who enter the space with her are trapped as well, unable to escape the cycle until the agony that created it is released or dissipates. But for ghosts like Cassidy, the question remains: can they ever truly escape the hell they’ve created within themselves? Or are they bound forever to the torment that sustains their existence?
