Samantha the Seagull

## Overview

   Samantha the Seagull is a supporting character and the vocalist in the entertainment restaurant Danny Diver's Pizza Place, a spin-off location created by Fazbear Entertainment. She is an animatronic seagull who, like with the other animatronics of her location, have the ability to walk around during the night.  From 12:00 am to 6:00 am, she is free to wander around the pizzeria. If she sees a night-guard or any adult after hours, she will attempt to make them part of the band, ie put them into a standard-issue animatronic suit, which will kill whoever is put inside.

## Description

### Physical Description

Samantha the Seagull is an animatronic seagull, appearing as a bipedal off-white seagull. Her exoskeleton gives her a long yellow beak, tan legs, fabric wings, and grey tail feathers. Her eyes are yellow in color, with long eyelashes coming off of her grey eyelids. She also sports a tail made up of long artificial feathers, coming out of a hole in the back of her waist piece. Attached to the bottom of her arms are swaths of fabric, giving the illusion of wings.

### Personality

During open hours, Samantha the Seagull is programmed to act upbeat and sassy, as a foil to Carlos the Crab. She acts as the vocalist in the band, using her voice to create music for Danny the Diver and Carlos the Crab to play along to. Her personality sets her in a light of an older sister, sarcastic but kind. In her backstory given by Fazbear Entertainment, she is friendly rivals with Carlos the Crab, and is extremely close with Coral the Mermaid.

### Robotic Aspects

Samantha functions in a nearly identical fashion as her bandmates, operating via a hard drive in her endoskeleton torso, with speech and memory in her head. Her endoskeleton is the standard Fazbear model, only with the joints replaced by ball joints. Her eyes, eyelids, eyebrows, and jaw are controlled via rods attached to rotors, and her neck, fingers, and limbs by remotes in the operator's booth. In addition to this, her tail is operated by rods attached to the back of her hip section, also controlled remotely. Her role as a vocalist is possible thanks to a voice synthesizer, enabling her to sing notes in a manner similar to that of an instrument. Her speech is prerecorded, but can be rerouted to a microphone for a more immersive performance by her voice actress.

## Nocturnal Behavior

With her bandmates, Samantha begins on the Seaside Show Stage. Once she leaves her place on the stage, she will go to the Party Hall. After getting in, she will turn into Party Room Two. From there, she will pop into the vents and crawl her way to the ceiling vent. Closing the door in time prevents her from entering, and sends her back to Party Room Two, where she will take the long crawl back to the office.

Note: If two characters appear in both vents, there is a fail-safe where if one door is closed, the other character will wait until the other leaves to try and advance, giving a small amount of buffer time to give the player a chance. Additionally, if two characters are at the same vent, then one will go before the other, with the same fail-safe in place as the vent doors.

On Night One, Samantha is not active, and remains on stage.

On Night Two, Samantha is active, and will move on her route in a casual manner. The window to close the ceiling vent is four seconds.

On Night Three, Samantha moves quicker than the previous night, but can be hindered by Coral the Mermaid in the vents. The vent window shortens to three seconds.

On Night Four, Samantha moves quicker than any other character, able to jump small distances in the vents. The opportunity to close the vent door shortens to two seconds.

On Night Five, Samantha remains the fastest character, but can jump even further in the vents. The window to block her entrance is only one second.
