## **History**

Marionette is one of the featured characters in the 1987 Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location in *FNaF 2*, although its originally from the 1983 Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location in *FNaF 4* along with the Withered Animatronics. it's placed near the Prize Counter with its music box. In *Ultimate Custom Night*, is revealed that it's the protective of the "Others", referring to the other children murdered by William Afton, who now possess the animatronics, although it also claims they are "like animals" (incapable of thinking for themselves).

Shown in one of the *Pizzeria Simulator* minigames, Marionette's original form, Security Puppet was tasked to stop a child with a green security bracelet from leaving the restaurant, who is revealed to be Charlotte Emily, the daughter of Henry. However, the kid never showed up until she shows up near the window looking distressed. Initially trapped inside its box, Marionette escaped from the box and walked outside to find her. As it was raining outside, Marionette started to short out. Eventually, Marionette found the kid's corpse that was left after being killed by William Afton (as revealed in the *FNaF 2* minigame). he crawls over to the corpse, and stops functioning.

The kid possessed Marionette, and as shown in another *FNaF 2* minigame, gave other murdered children "lives", by putting them into the classic version of the animatronic suits (Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Golden Freddy) and letting them possess the animatronics.

In *Pizzeria Simulator*, Marionette is captured by and trapped inside Lefty, and is brought to the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. Eventually, it's soul is freed when Henry burned down the place.
