Circus Baby

Fandom

Five Nights at Freddy's

"I don't recognize you. You are new. I remember this scenario, however. It's a strange thing to want to do, to come here. I'm curious what events will lead a person to want to spend their nights in a place like this willingly. Maybe curiosity, maybe ignorance. There is a space under the desk, someone before you crafted it into a hiding place and it worked for him. I recommend that you hurry though. You will be safe there, just try not to make eye contact, it will be over soon. They will lose interest."
Circus Baby (commonly referred to as Baby) is an animatronic mascot of Circus Baby's Pizza World invented by Afton Robotics, LLC. She later becomes the secondary antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, first appearing in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location. The child that haunts Baby is Elizabeth Afton who was the daughter of the franchise's main antagonist William Afton.
"Similar to a circus clown with red hair in ponytails, rosy cheeks, and bright green eyes; wears a red skirt and cropped top with frills on the shoulders."
Baby is a female animatronic with an overall appearance reminiscent of a clown. She has auburn hair in high pigtails on either side of her head, held in place by blue hair elastics. She has bright green eyes, long, blue eyelashes, and short, blue eyebrows. The sides of her eyes are also covered in blue. Her mouth is opened in a wide smile, revealing small, flat endoskeleton teeth, framed by thin, red lips. Her cheeks are large, round, and red, and her squarish nose is red and slightly upturned and pointed. Her midsection is exposed, revealing a metal fan surrounded by an orange triangle with rounded points. Her limbs have silver segments in rectangular shapes, and her hands have red palms. The tips of her fingers, which appear to be ball-jointed, are not sealed, revealing shiny silver underneath, similar to the springlock suits. Her knees have round, shiny, silver caps, and parts of her limbs have what appear to be blue pins sticking out of them. She wears a red crop top with frills on the shoulders, and a matching, frilly, red skirt (which was changed in design for Special Delivery). The toes of her matching red shoes are pointed and curled, white on the bottom, and topped off with shiny, gold orbs (possibly bells); these are the shoes worn by a jester. She holds an orange microphone with red accents in her left hand.
As Scrap Baby, she bears an entirely new design as the result of haphazardly reassembling herself after events that occurred between games. She retains her hair and curvy pigtails, but consists of realistic, multicolored strands of wires that look like hair. On top of her head is a strange, metallic object similar to a crown. Parts of her face and lips are losing their color, turning into a light blue. The bottom part of her mouth is split to form a jaw, which doesn't seem to move in-game. Her most distinctive feature is a giant claw that replaces her right hand. The claw comes from her chest which was used to kill children. It is linked from several wires and has two "rows" of teeth. The rest of her deteriorating body reveals a unique endoskeleton. Her chest has two dead lights that are similar to the lights from the Circus Control room from the previous game, one overlapping while the other hiding behind. Her arms and legs aren't completely a white color, rather than mixtures of red and orange, as if it was clothing. Rather than Circus Baby's jester shoes, Scrap Baby has mechanical roller skates. Most of these features are not entirely revealed and are only seen in special events.
Baby speaks in a soft, lilting voice that almost never raises above a sort of hushed tone. She tends to become distracted by the thought of children, changing tones slightly when using the word.
The Circus Baby minigame shows that Baby killed William Afton's daughter Elizabeth due to her programming, her spirit then began to inhabit the animatronic. She seems to retain her childlike persona as when she was human as she couches explanations and talks about birthday parties, ice cream and playing pretend. She seems to be very distraught, confused, and sorrowful due to her situation, while showing to be cunning and manipulative like her father as she masterminded the events of the entire game making Michael trust her and cause him to fall into multiple traps which led to his demise and reanimation, although she showed a moment of slight compassion when she told Michael that the scooper only hurts for a moment. She also often talks about things that have little bearings on the current situation like ice cream birthday cakes and children showing that she maintains her child like persona when she was a human, this is especially seen during Night 4, she can also be somewhat rude and arrogant as during that same she calls Michael a dummy. In Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, it is hinted through her vocalizations that she only raises her voice whenever pushed over the edge.
It's implied that the time she spent in the underground facility being isolated and tortured may have drove Baby to the point of insanity and caused her to be emotionally and mentally unstable.
In her scrap form, she is more violent, sadistic, and aggressive, obsessing with earning the favor of her father William.
