The Marionette

* Classic
* Withered

**The Marionette**, otherwise referred to as **The Puppet**, is the prize corner entertainer and hidden puppet creature, who is separated from the classic animatronics that appears within the first nights of Five Night's at Freddy's: JR's. She has an odd and unique mechanics that is hard to come to a conclusion if The Marionette is haunted.

During the final act of JR's, you must face off a more aggressive, withered version of the Marionette known as **Withered Marionette** for the first few hours of the act. Withered Marionette requires the Music Box to be wound up to keep her docile, and failing to do so will be fatal. While the act plays through, Marionette, alongside the rest of the withered animatronics, is forced to sacrifice herself to create the amalgamation known as The Mangle.

## Appearance

### The Marionette

The Marionette, although looking similar to her original counterpart, actually has many unique features that has been added to her character. Marionette still has her familiar black body with a white mask and buttons, although multiple features has been changed to her appearance. Her entire body, instead of being a pure black color, now looks more similar to fabric. Her mask, although seemingly looking the same, has multiple differences.

She now has a wide, white nose with two ears on each side of her mask. Instead of purple lines representing tears, fading paint-like line that goes all the way down the mask is visible, The rosy cheeks and red lipstick are completely absent from her mask, and she now has bloodshot pupils with large, black dots representing her eyes. The rest of features like her body and arms are completely black, and has no other unique features besides the two familiar white buttons on her body.

### Withered Marionette

Withered Marionette still has features that are apparent on her un-withered counterpart. Unlike the intact counterpart, parts of her body have been shattered similar to broken glass or porcelain vase. Parts of her torso, mask, and mouth show. Her face has multiple lines going across it, her mask has been somewhat shattered to have a endoskeleton jaw poke out, and her eyes are now blood-shot red with one of her eyes being rolled back a little.

## Mechanics

The Marionette has the most unique feature out of all the characters within the first five nights. She is completely absent from the camera's view, and to locate her, you must hear the music from the Music Box on the bottom right corner of your Freddy Tablet when flipping through Cameras. If the Marionette is not in the room, a static noise can be heard. Note you can turn this Music Box off by simply pressing the music box on the Freddy Tablet.

The Marionette, still works like other animatronics, only being off the cameras view. If there is static and no animatronic in the room, and the Music Box is playing, the haunted animatronic is The Marionette. Same can be said for the Handprint evidence. If the Marionette leaves the room and leaves a handprint, the haunted animatronic is yet again, the Marionette. The Marionette cannot shut down the cameras, but they can move the cameras. The Marionette is probably the hardest animatronic to counter within the first few nights, and its recommended to try to keep the Marionette in the Repairing closet for the majority of the night until the animatronics start to get low stability.

### Final Act

Withered Marionette always resides at the Prize Corner unless you fail to counter her. On the bottom left side of the camera switcher and map layout, a circular meter that constantly goes down can be seen. This is the Music Box, and you must keep it from depleting entirely. Failing to do so will result in the Withered Marionette rushing to your office. It cannot be winded up again after going all the way down, so watch out.
