**V**anessa A. is one of the main characters of Slashjay. She's a tired and semi-cynical young adult who ends up falling down *The Hellish Rabbit Hole that is Fazbear Entertainment (Which You Immediately Regret Knowing About)*™ with Gregory. Despite often acting uninterested, cold, or frustrated, she's a genuinely caring person who finds herself determined to do the right thing, especially when it comes to the people that she loves.

## About and Backstory

Vanessa was born in Humble, Texas to Scott Olson and Heather Astley (formerly Heather Olson.) She had three older sisters (Stephanie, Veronica, and Tiffany Olson,) and three older half-siblings (James, Carrie, and Ella Olson) from her father's previous marriage. Vanessa grew up lower-middle class with a complicated family and strange home. She was frequently cared for by Veronica, who she had a close bond with. When Vanessa was four, her mother had another baby— Caraline. It had been an accidental pregnancy that Heather (seemingly) didn't want to keep in the first place. Shortly after the birth of Caraline, Heather got pregnant again. This led to a divorce between her parents, putting a great deal of stress on her family. That left Vanessa in a situation where she had to learn how to care for herself, with some guidance from Veronica. Her father moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he gained joint custody of Vanessa, Tiffany, and Veronica.

For a large portion of Vanessa's childhood, she would travel between Texas and Utah to stay with one of her parents for extended periods of time. This made school, maintaining good grades, and making close friends challenging. Her dad was... *nice*, but a scumbag, providing a more "secure" and providing lifestyle compared to when she was with her mom.

Vanessa's relationship with her dad was strained and complex, to say the very least. He provided a more comfortable home life compared to her mom, which Veronica and Tiffany obviously preferred despite not having much of a relationship with him. He and Vanessa did somewhat 'normal' father-daughter things, some of which becoming some of her dearest memories from her childhood. Distinct memories of visiting a Freddy Fazbear restaurant and laughing at how bizarre a black bear animatronic that resembled Freddy was, and going to the movies to watch *WALL·E* and *Iron Man* after getting ice cream, remain as some of the fondest moments with her dad— and from her entire childhood. Yet, he felt... aloof. Shifty and distant in a way where he was present, but often but fully there. He flaked out often. Like, **often**. Suddenly changing their visitation, canceling plans he had made, leaving suddenly— it created an instability between them. As Vanessa got older, their interactions continued to lessen. Attempts to start a conversation ended in being shrugged off.

So Vanessa entered her teenage years trying to tune out her unstable home life. She used the mentality that she wasn't a little girl anymore, and dived into alternative music, Kandi, fishnets, raccoon tail hair, bold makeup looks, shitty hot topic accessories, and going to concerts with Veronica. They became each other's best friends and were practically glued at the side. Veronica was Vanessa's main form of support and easily the most important person in her life. Tiffany applied to college early with a scholarship and moved in with other relatives, leaving Vanessa and Veronica left (and Caraline and Lily, depending on which parent they were with.) When Vanessa was sixteen, Veronica started growing frustrated and distant, eventually admitting that she discovered something about their dad. He had remarried and had a baby with a young woman named Carly Jay. Still living in Salt Lake at the time, Vanessa and Veronica woke up one day to find him gone, having moved out to another state without saying where he was. He still paid rent for the house they were in at the time, but left them to care for themselves and figure things out. They decided it was best to settle in Salt Lake.

At eighteen she met Delilah at a party and the two started dating, and later moved in together and adopted a cat named Oliver. Vanessa struggled to figure out where she wanted to go in life, not knowing a career path, where she wanted to go to college— or **if** she wanted to go to college, *how the hell she'd pay for college if she ended up going*, or where she wanted to live, and she disliked the idea of having a "domestic" life, settling down, having kids, leading to her and Delilah's breakup.

Currently, she works at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex as a security guard while she tries to figure out where to go, all while coping with baggage from her childhood and an anxiety disorder. After the events of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, Vanessa took on the responsibility of taking care of Gregory (and breaking multiple laws).
