CassidyVictim

**CassidyVictim** is a theory that claims that "Cassidy" is the name of the Bite Victim, rather than the fifth MCI kid. The original source for this theory is from u/RetroBeetle on the r/GameTheorists subreddit, which also claims that Springtrap is using the Logbook to communicate with BV. Here is a more recent post from RetroBeetle going over the entire theory in 2022.

## Evidence

* The Survival Logbook is altered in two ways: through faded writing and through altered text. These are considered to be two separate entities communicating with each other.
	+ Some of the faded writings' questions reference "the party" and the "purple telephone" seen in the FNAF 4 bedroom, both of which are things associated with BV. The altered text seems to answer these questions. For example, faded text's "the party was for you," matches with altered text's "it was for me," and "what do you see?" with "I can't see."
	+ Using altered page numbers as coordinates in the word search spells out the name "Cassidy." The repeated phrase "ITSME" throughout the word search indicates a connection with Golden Freddy. Therefore, the spirit inhabiting GF is named Cassidy.
* BV interacts through altering the text, and all of the hints towards the name "Cassidy" appeared from altered text. Meanwhile, the Foxy Grid puzzle is marked with faded writing, indicating that *this* spirit's name is revealed through the Foxy Grid rather than the word search.
	+ u/SenshiofSadness on r/fivenightsatfreddys posted a solution to the Foxy Grid puzzle where the alphabet was filled into the grid around the copied illustration of Foxy that the page prompts the reader to draw, rather than straight across without interruption. Using the real page numbers of the pages marked with a faded "my name" as coordinates, plugging them into the grid reveals the phrase "IS SPRINGTRAP". With the repeated usage of "MY NAME," we get the full phrase: "MY NAME IS SPRINGTRAP."
		- Repeated text in one of Scott Cawthon's beta updates on FNAF 3 spells out the phrase "My name is Springtrap."
		- This is also a quote from William Afton in *The Twisted Ones.*
* This way, all three of the Afton boys – William, Mike, and Cassidy (BV) – have a presence in the book.
* This also explains how faded writing knew details about BV (such as the talking Fredbear, his favorite ride, his childhood toys), because he is his father.
* Under this theory, Michael is the protagonist of *Ultimate Custom Night* and BV is TOYSNHK, enacting his revenge on his brother who killed him.

## Problems

* The name "Evan" has been found in the Foxy Grid puzzle using multiple methods, leading majority of people to believe that CC's name is Evan.
* The illustration on the page with the prompt "Reflect on the Happiest Day of your life" features the Puppet giving a birthday cake to a little girl. This page is a clear reference to FNAF 3's Happiest Day minigame, and if taken literally, means that the Golden Freddy child is a girl, which BV is not.
* Though a more solid method was created, the original method for the solution "IS SPRINGTRAP" was reverse-engineered.
* It is unknown how Springtrap would have known that BV was in or influencing the book, or when he would have written in the Logbook to begin with. It's also unknown why he would introduce himself as Springtrap and not as BV's dad.
* It's heavily implied by both UCN and "The Man In Room 1280" that William Afton is the one experiencing *Ultimate Custom Night.*
