Simon

**Simon** is an animatronic doll that appears in the second story of *Fazbear Frights: Blackbird*. He is an alternate universe version of the Fredbear Plushie from the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

## Physical Appearance

Simon is a three-foot doll, under the ownership of a nine-year-old kid named Jake McNally. He is covered in small marker drawings, including rainbow fingertips, green knees, brown smudges on its arms and legs. It also has dry pizza sauce smudged around its mouth. It also has a blacked-out eye, based on when Jake stood up against someone bullying him in school. Simon has a walky-talky embedded inside of him, allowing for someone on the other end to speak through him.

## Functionality

Simon was created by Jake's father, Evan, and Jake's caretaker, Margie. Jake has a tumor in his brain, weakening him to the point of being bedridden, with chemotherapy and other medical treatments not being able to help him. Margie and Evan believe that if Jake is given enough love and reminders of his life when he was healthy, he could heal from his weakened state. Evan couldn't be around to be with his son since he was serving overseas for the military, so Simon was created so that Evan could speak to Jake, despite being miles apart.

## History

### The Real Jake

Evan, through Simon, is able to communicate to Jake, asking him how his day was. This routine goes on for a while, until eventually, Evan dies at sea. Margie is told of the news, and that she has inherited Evan's house and custody over Jake. With Evan dead, Simon was useless. Margie doesn't tell Jake about his father's death, stating that Simon won't be visiting.

Jake's condition worsens and he dies. As his body is rolled away, Margie discovers the cabinet housing Simon is gone, and so is the doll itself. It's implied that Jake's soul somehow inhabits Simon after death, and he has left.

### Fazbear Frights Epilogues

Simon, through happenstance, ends up in the lab of Dr. Phineas Taggart. The scientist was interested in the power of emotions, and how they could affect non-living things and even give it physical life if the inanimate object has some type of intelligence in it. Simon was used in one of Phineas' experiments with the emotion of agony being transferred from one object to another. The agony from three different objects was being transferred to a deactivated animatronic endoskeleton. Phineas decapitated the doll, placing its head on the endoskeleton to give it personality. He then used the battery pack of an animatronic dog named Fetch to power the machine. The endoskeleton comes to life and kills the doctor in cold blood.

Jake, who possessed Simon, and Andrew, who possessed Fetch, housed the endoskeleton. They went on to roam the streets in search of items infected with anger by Andrew. Many regular people saw the mysterious being, taking note of Simon's face and mistaking the sauce around his mouth for blood. This being was considered an urban legend, nicknamed The Stitchwraith.
