Five Nights At Freddy's Alchemists Apathy Character Post: Elizabeth Afton
Some would also call her (me, I call her this): The Silly
I've rambled about fangames long enough, it's about time I actually talk about the main series and it's spin-offs. This is more of a bio for the character. I plan to do this with others, the animatronics, the other human characters, etc. Might as well start off with a silly, that being the best silly, Elizabeth Afton. This is also gonna be me rambling a bit because... why not?
For those who have lived under a rock or only care about the first three or four games, Elizabeth Afton hails from Five Nights At Freddy's Sister Location. She is the child that would go on to possess Circus Baby, and then her character would be fleshed out a bit in Pizzeria Simulator and The Fourth Closet. Most people would just use headcanons, and I will admit, this will get pretty headcanon-y as I go on, but I do plan to pull from canon quite a bit.
Elizabeth Afton is the middle child of the Afton family, she is twins with Timothy Afton, but she was born first. The two of them were born in 1979. Elizabeth is very cheerful, Melody always said she could light up a room with her smile. Though, Melody is the ray of sunshine of the Afton family. A lot of people would like to say that Mrs. Afton cheated on her husband with someone else and that explains the different hair color, but in this universe, that didn't happen. Melody's family does have ginger hair in some parts, it just skips a generation and Elizabeth had the ginger hair gene. She takes a lot after her mother, unlike Michael. This is why William had gravitated towards Michael a bit, but he loved all of them equally. So easy to manipulate.
The character encyclopedia has the tagline of Elizabeth "bringing new meaning to the phrase spoiled child". Contrary to popular belief, I think Scott thought the pun was funny because ice cream, and not that he doesn't care for the kids of Fnaf (we can tell he does because there was an entire section for it in the interview about him not wanting the animatronics to be perceived as bad). However, most people around her think she is spoiled. She's the daughter of Afton Robotics, and the daughter of one of the owners of Fazbear Entertainment. But no one really knew her for who she was, well, aside from her best friends Susie and Cassidy. The common theory of Elizabeth being spoiled got so bad that a pun was put on her police profile. Which is the tagline that is in the encyclopedia. Because of this, when Fazbear Entertainment was struggling to stay in business and decided to put in "Operation Clean Slate", Elizabeth's character for their little projects often depicted her as spoiled and bratty, which is not how she was when she was alive.
As mentioned above, Elizabeth, Susie, Cassidy were her best friends, though Elizabeth developed a crush on Cassidy. She tried her best to hide it though. She was distraught to find out they were missing and often vented to her family about it. William was constantly annoyed by it, and then made up some bullshit about Circus Baby being made around her to get her to shut up. This plan of William's failed as she was then obsessed with Circus Baby going forward. Bothering William while he was working. This prompted the usual neglect and usual scenario's seen from TFC. Elizabeth using her mom's make up to make herself look like Circus Baby (she even once tried to die her hair), she tried to get good grades and gold stars so that her dad would reward her by seeing Circus Baby. She was mostly left with getting her hand swatted away or getting screamed at. And because her mom wasn't around anymore, she couldn't find anyone to comfort her. Her best friends were gone, her brother was a murderer, and her father was too busy working to care. William actually thought about putting Elizabeth in the experiment chambers, but he decided against it as he thought of her as annoying and listening to her voice would have just made the whole ordeal a slog to get through.
When Elizabeth possessed Baby, her soul was inside of Baby, but her memories got absorbed into an HFS (Human Feelings Simulation) Chip, causing Baby to act differently. But both still had the plan to escape, along with the other Funtimes and souls. By the time of Scrap Baby, it was more Elizabeth with Baby's memories than the opposite. Though as Baby, when any bit of Elizabeth did pull through, William still treated her the same. Elizabeth looked up deeply to her father during these scary times inside of Baby. She didn't know where he would go sometimes, or why she was taken underground. She was locked away and didn't meet the other children that lost their lives to the Funtimes until they formed Ennard, which wasn't even her plan. It was Baby's plan. While Elizabeth encouraged Baby to free them, Baby came up with everything and even managed to get in contact with the other Funtimes somehow to get them to agree on their escape. When the souls fully took over in Ennard, they got to know Elizabeth and they all felt the same. She was spoiled, a brat, and she was bossy. They kicked her out and left her, forcing her to rebuild herself. When meeting William again in Pizzeria Simulator, William was more disgusted by her appearance, mainly because it was his creation, and to see it be reduced to nothing but scraps disgusted him. He was more worried about his creations looking like shit than his actual daughter, who was more than happy to see him.
When the fire happened, she saw her father burning and she tried to get to him, but Lefty stopped her. For the first time, she heard her father call her by name. Before it was always "daughter" or some nickname that she always felt had no meaning. Now, he was screaming for her, begging to let him live, to find him a way out of here so that he could survive once more. Elizabeth ended up burning and meeting up with Charlie and her mother. Melody showed her the way home and Charlie helped the other Funtimes.
Elizabeth's memory lives on even after she was freed, as mentioned, Fazbear Enterprises bastardized her and her personality when they did their project "Clean Slate". She was turned into a video game character that everyone viewed as evil, even merch was made of her. Video analysis' were made on the character, and parts of her personality were absorbed into The Mimic1 program when the Fazbear Funtime Service was brought out. Just like the others souls that were lost, Fazbear Enterprises used them to pull themselves out of the mud, and ever since then, the world didn't know Elizabeth Afton for this kind, caring, and scared little girl that had been trapped for decades inside of Circus Baby, but as a spoiled child and another member of what Fazbear Entertainment wanted the people to view the Afton Family as.
