**Springbonnie** was the first rabbit animatronic William Afton and Henry Emily have built.

## Apperance

Springbonnie is a spinglock skeleton, giving him the look of a cage like structure when in exoskeleton mode. His torsoe resambles a human ribcage, while his skull part extands far to sides, in order for the jaw to work. He is rather slim, with a pronounced rib cage. His face looks has round spaces left for the eye pieces and what look like nostrils. Although they are never seen inside his mouth, he seems to have white rubber teeth, like Fredbear. He also has two parts for ear attachments. The whole skeletal systems is equipped with paperclip springlocks, When in the endoskeleton mode, he appears much more condensed, with well defined, solid metal parts, that make him resemble a regular skeleton a lot more.

Back in '83, he was equipped with a Springbonnie suit, the being a tall, yellow rabbit with wide empty smile, button nose and squash eyes. His snout was short, without highlight fur. He had a slim, tall build (tall enough to fit a 6'3'' individual) with pronounced chest and five fingered hands. He wore a purple bowtie and a single black button. Whenever he was used as a costume, his eyes become hollow, revealing the eye colour of whoever wore him. His Spinglock endo-exoskeleton showed through his suit segments, revealing the limbs of the wearer.

When William used him to kill Missing Children in 1985, he appeared without the upper right ear piece, metal sticking out of it. His lower legs and feet having also faded into a darker brown color.

In 1993, Springbonnie seemed to have lost his bowtie, being left with just the button.

After William's bloody death, the costume's fur seems to have arbitrarily shifted color to green, with highlights becoming an even darker shade. The sides of suit's mouth also have broken off, revealing the metalic mechanisms for operating robot's jaw. The withered suit had tears and gashes all over, most visible ones being the one that resembled a scar over his right eye and a big hole in the stomach area.

Henry later sets Springtrap's pelvis on fire, causing it to burn off of his body and leave him without pants. Ashamed by this, Springtrap shifts to a darker hue.

Springtrap later breaks off his suit, in order to replace it., leaving the original Springbonnie as just the skeleton.

After the Simulated Pizzeria fire, the skeleton can be seen charred in a few areas.

## Story

### Entertainment

In 1983, after Fredbear's first performance resulted in the animatronic spontaneously combusting from a nervous breakdown, William and Henry created springlock endoskeletons, in an effort to allow the animatronics to de-stress when needed and keep them from going on legally required breaks. For extra safety, they made the second springlock endoskeleton into a new character to be Fredbear's partner and give him emotional support. William was concerningly insistent that they name the golden rabbit Springbonnie, so Henry rolled with it.

William was the only person unafraid of testing the suits, which were only held together with paper clips to prevent the springlocks from impaling the user. After testing Springbonnie, he enjoyed dancing around in the rabbit costume so much that he started developing an obsession with the character.

With the improvements they had made, Fredbear's Family Diner became a financial success to a ridiculous degree, elevating Fredbear and Springbonnie into stardom. The restaurant had become popular enough for William to move forward with an animated series called *Fredbear & Friends*, among others, starring Springbonnie.

On one faithful friday, however, Springbonnie's fame came to an end, as the bodies of Harold the Cashier and Trevor the Janitor were found inside spare Fredbear and Springbonnie suits. After that point, Fredbear was publically executed and had to be replaced for the 1985 Pizzeria. Since William was the only one who'd still wear Springbonnie and he refused to work with any grizzly bear that wasn't yellow, he was thrown into the saferoom for safekeeping.

### Killing suit

After accidentally killing Henry's daughter, Charlie, with his recantly gained death stare, William got inspired to kill more kids as revenge for the $5 Henry owed him. William returned to Freddy's and put on the retired Springbonnie suit in order to lure 5 children to the safe room. He baited them with the promise of their dead dogs being alive with Old Man Jenkins. Although none of the five had owned a dog before, they figured they'd manage to get dogs for free so they followed "Springbonnie" to the back. When it turned out William had lied to them, Cassidy Brooks kicked him in the shins. William was prepared for this, as he had duct taped the springlocks to prevent them from snapping.

Regardless, this attempt on his life angered William enough to immediately death stare all 5 children at once, killing them all instantly. When stuffing their bodies into the animatronics to hide the evidence, Shadow Freddy inadvertently led Andrew Miller to the safe room. Startled by the sudden witness, William accidentally killed Andrew with his death stare as well. After stuffing him and Cassidy in a spare discarded Fredbear suit, William was satisfied with his vengeance and put Springbonnie back from where he took him.

In 1987, a huge focus on the new Toy model of Foxy made William angry enough to go on another killing spree, again using Springbonnie to lure kids to the back room. This second Missing Children's Incident was much sloppier than the first, as William casually stabbed the kids on camera and left their bodies sitting in the building.

Finally, in 1993, as William destroyed the original animatronics, leding to the ghosts of the Missing Children appearing before him in the saferoom, scared the ghosts would kick him in the shins, William donned his Springbonnie suit once again in hopes of it doing something in his favor. Feeling empowered despite this accomplishing nothing, he began to laugh at the ghosts and dabbed. This caused the duct tape he had put on the springlocks to fall off, and paired with the leaking ceiling the springlocks snapped. William, impaled every which way by the springlock failure, wound up experiencing so much agony that his soul bonded with the robot. This new form inspired him to come up with a new name for himself, leading to the rise of Springtrap.

### Springtrap

After their fusion, Springtrap made a truce with his victims to make a CCTV camera monitor into a TV, had a fist fight with Henry and get sealed in saferoom for 30 years. After being rescued by Phone Dude, he was transported to the Fazbear's Fright horror attraction, where he wandered the halls trying to kill Henry and getting distracted by audio samples of Balloon Boy's laugh. When the building got set on fire, Springtrap and Henry made a quick truce themselves to escape together.

After gathering their bearings and avoiding being sold on an auction, the two stood in awkward silence, waiting for the other one to break the truce. After about 32 seconds, Henry pulled one of Springtrap's ear wires and used it to burn his pants off. The smoke settled on top of him, turning his whole body a darker color, with his defeated eyes now returning back to single white dots.

### Replacement

Ashamed about his pantlessness, Springtrap decided the only was to redeem himself would be to get a new suit. Luckily, he remembered he still had a backup one back at the abandoned Fredbear's Family Diner. After a few days, he got to the old location and found out why he left it there 40 years ago. It was the suit in which Harold had died. Springtrap was too embarrassed for this to stop him, however, so he tore it off of Harold's skeleton anyways. His only idea for getting rid of the suit he already had on was to slam into a wall repeatedly. This ended up working a bit too well, with his left forearm getting broken off, leaving but a single, spike-like bone pertruding from him. After changing into the new clothes (Still haunting the original endoskeleton), he got worried people would only know the name "Springtrap" as the guy without his pants on, so he went back to his original name. Sadly throwing his old suit into a rabbish bin, Afton left Fredbear's to aimlessly wander Hurricane.

Soon after that, Afton went to check out Henry's new pizzeria a few times. When meeting Mike and not caring, just trying to engineer himself a new name, Mike threw him into Henry's office and left him there. After learning that Henry paid his son $5000 instead of giving back the $5 he owed him, Afton decided to kill Mike. Distracted by Henry's epic speech, however, he almost burnt in the fire.

William managed to escape into the vents and got rushed to a hospital. After a few days, Mike checked him out, took out Springbonnie's circuit board and threw Afton into the old pizzeria again.

### Future

Much hasn't been teased about Springbonnie's story in the upcoming parts 3 and 4. He will return in the form of the Burntrap endoskeleton for the adaptations of Security Breach. He's likely to also be involved with the creation of Baby Springtrap and Plushtrap Chasers, as well as possible adaptations of other anthology stories he has roles in, these being Into the Pit and Mimick Epilogues. Nothing is confirmed for now, however.
