Springbonnie

Spring Bonnie is most notable for being one of the few mascots to have animatronic suit hybrids, known as Springlock suits - as well as the main persona William Afton used for luring children during his killing sprees. A Spring Bonnie suit was also sealed in the safe room within Freddy Fazbear's Pizza after the incident of springlock failures from the "sister location". It was used one final time when Afton used the Spring Bonnie suit to hide from his past victims, however, the faulty mechanisms malfunctioned, causing the compressed endoskeleton to impale and kill him from within. Though deceased, Afton would return 30 years later, his body merged with the Spring Bonnie animatronic and possessed by his spirit, becoming **Springtrap**.

The safe room is reserved for equipment and/or other property not being currently used and is, in fact, a safety location for employees only. This is not a break room, and should not be considered a place for employees to hide and/or congregate - and under no circumstance should a customer ever be taken into this room and out of the main show area. Management has also been made aware that the Spring Bonnie animatronic has been noticeably moved. We would like to remind employees that this costume is not safe to wear under any circumstances. Thank you and remember to smile; you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.*

After learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location, involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures, the company has deemed the suits temporarily unfit for employees. Safety is our top priority at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is why the classic suits are being retired to an appropriate location, while being looked at by our technician. Until replacements arrive, you'll be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you. Keep in mind that they were found on very short notice, so questions about appropriateness/relevance should be deflected. I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated or worn. That being said, we are free of liability, do as you wish. As always, remember to smile; you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.*"
