Chica

**Chica** is an animatronic chicken created as the backup singer and food enthusiast of the stage band at **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza**. She is one of the four original mascots of **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza**.

Designed as a bipedal yellow chicken wearing a bib and holding a buck-toothed anthropomorphic cupcake, **Chica** is normally cheerful but harbors deep craving for food (most notably pizza).

## History

Unlike her bandmates, Chica does not seem to have any root at Fredbear's Family Diner, and is theorized to have either been created solely for Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria in 1983, or was part of a company buyout that resulted in her inclusion. **Chica** would continue to be used in stage show performances up until the pizzeria's closure in 1985, where she would be left on site. Following an attempted retrofit in 1987, **Chica** would be fully restored in 1988 for use at **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza**. The **Chica** animatronic would remain fully serviced and used up until the pizzeria's closure in 1993. The animatronics' fate following the closure of **Freddy Fazbear's Pizza** is unknown.

## In Media

**Chica** first premiered at **Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria** in 1983 as a cheerful but absent minded foodie, which has remained a core part of the character's personality since. During the original running shows, **Chica** would often go off on her own tangents, breaking into song and rambling to herself, not knowing that she had done so in front of her bandmates until the time had long past. She would retain the same voice and personality after her retrofit in 1988.

**Chica**'s personality went through an overhaul in 1990, toning back on her absentmindedness and making her much more upbeat and happy-go-lucky. She would also be a mediator of sorts for squabbles from the band, many of which were started by Bonnie.

Starting in 1990, **Chica** would be used as a hostess for various events, such as **Scary Tales** and **Sizzling Summer**, as well as being the main support when **Freddy** would host. **Chica** would often convey excitement for being able to try new things and host events so far outside of the ordinary, as well as a patient "Mother Hen" persona. This gentle and caring personality is mainly shown in the **Scary Tales** showtape, where, despite initial frustrations, she guides **Foxy** through telling a fairy tale story.

In 1993, **Chica** was given reduced dialogue due to budget cuts to showtape production.

## Designs

### Classic Chica

**Chica**, being a chicken, is designed as a bipedal yellow bird with three mechanized feathers sticking out of the top of her head. She has thick black eyebrows and pink eyes, and an orange beak with squarish teeth on her hinged lower jaw. Around her neck, she wears a white, confetti covered bib with the words "***LET'S EAT!!!***" printed on the front. She has the same general body shape as the rest of the Classic animatronics, with the exception of thinner, orange calves and orange feet ending in two talons each, the clawed tips colored white.

### Blacklight Chica

Blacklight Chica features the same design and shape as Classic Chica, with with a luminent pallet swap. Her yellow base color was made purple, with her orange beak and legs made yellow, along with Mr. Cupcake. Her bib was color swapped to a darker pallet, and her eyes were made yellow and green.

## Trivia

* Due to **Chica** being themed around food, there have been several incidents in which **Chica** has been fed pizza by customers. One particular incident had a child stuff a slice of *Fazbear Stuffed Crust Pizza* into **Chica**'s beak, resulting in the slice being wedged in her jaw for a month.
