Springtrap

## About

Springtrap, formerly known as Roger Stanford, is the main antagonist of Springtrap and Deliah.

## Appearance

### **Pages 1-8**

Originally, Springtrap had a slightly more detailed design. His joints and gaps were more visible, and his fur was more of a greenish-yellow color. He also had more defined lighter fur and several additional lines over his chest and back. His bowtie was closer to a red color, and his eyes were light yellow with small, white spirals.

### **Pages 9-115**

He's shown with dirty yellow fur, a purple-pinkish bowtie, and two scars over both his eyes. Over time, his appearance changes with the art style. His eyes are purplish-pink like his bowtie, but with small white pupils, and is much more overweight than his old design.

### **Pages 116+**

One of the more notable and recent changes is that one scar has disappeared on his left eye. Quinn has stated this was a minor visual retcon and has no real significance. His ears also lose the lighter shade, and his fur color turns to a more bronze color, as opposed to the usual yellow.

### **Nightmare Alternative**

Nightmare Springtrap differs from Springtrap's ordinary look quite a bit in his first appearance. When Nightmare Springtrap appears again later in Nick's dream, he looks a lot more similar to Springtrap.

## Personality

He can easily be described as a fatherly person but under the surface demonstrates deodorizing behavior under his fatherly persona by having a short temper when being provoked by questions of his past, being overly overprotective, and is a control freak. He is said to be inspired by GraWolfQuinn/AbberantPaint’s own issues and problems.

## Relationships

#### **Deliah**

Springtrap is very loving to (and relatively overprotective of) Deliah, making her cookies and pancakes when she's feeling down and generally trying to be like a good parental figure. The Springtrap in this universe is a man named Roger Stanford.

In the light ending, Springtrap confesses to Deliah that he is a murderer and leaves to go to counseling, never to see her again (supposedly)

In the dark ending, he plans to murder Deliah so she can be inside him forever, which inevitably fails when Deliah escapes. In an alternate version of the dark ending, Springtrap does manage to successfully kill Deliah and put her inside his suit.

#### Nick

Springtrap is very wary and jealous of Nick, trying to convince him he's not a threat at best and keeping him away from his daughter at worst. After Nick finds out the truth about him being a serial killer near the end of Act 2, he becomes increasingly paranoid about Nick revealing the truth to Deliah.

#### Harry

At the beginning of the story, Springtrap absolutely hates Harry; seeing him as a spoiled brat and almost seeing him as an overly chill mini-Nick. However, as he gets used to him, his relationship with Harry becomes much more ambiguous. It is at first thought he is now friends with him, but it's heavily implied he's either faking it or not quite entirely friendly to him, especially when he attempts to erase the recording of him revealing his identity.

In the light ending, he and Harry go over to Deliah‘s house to confess the truth. Harry's uncle is a counselor, and Harry offers to take Springtrap to see him, and Springtrap accepts it.

#### **The Missing Children**

They are the group of children that were murdered and stuffed into animatronic suits by Springtrap at Freddy Fazbear’s when he was still a living human. Ever since their debut in the comic, the missing children’s goal is only one: try to expose Springtrap’s secret to Deliah and destroy any chance he ever had of finding happiness. With the sole exception of Miles (Golden Freddy), the missing children will stop at nothing to sabotage Springtrap, even if it means involving Deliah and Nick into their schemes.

Springtrap, in turn, treats the Missing Children as nuisances and is prone to snapping at them. When Springtrap seeks Harry’s help on how to change his ways, and he finally asks what the reason for the murders was, Springtrap finally reveals that he killed the children because he wanted a family. Having previously witnessed the possession of a Fredbear animatronic by a springlocked co-worker, Springtrap had the idea to do the same with the children to force them to stay with him. Springtrap expresses extreme guilty at what he had done; and tells Harry that he wants to give Deliah - and the missing children - a proper family, showing that Springtrap doesn’t truly hate and actually cares for the missing children.

## Trivia

* Springtrap surprisingly knows how to cook, reflecting off of his old human traits.
* Springtrap shows on page 13 that he lacks a corpse after Deliah's father makes a statement about how he seems "possessed." However, Springtrap originally had a corpse when Deliah found him. It is currently unknown how the corpse was removed, though GraWolfQuinn hinted that it was removed by the person(s) who bought Springtrap in the auction after the fire in Fazbear's Fright.
* Springtrap's eyes switch between two colors: purple and pink, purple means he is feeling angry, excited, or hostile. Pink indicates friendly, fearful, happy, or calm, as stated on his reference sheet. They are purple during most of the comic. However, in the first few pages of the comic (pages 1 to 6), his eyes are white.
	+ Springtrap's eyes also glow when alarmed, the first time this appears is Page 22.
* Springtrap had two eye scars until Page 116, where his design was retconned to have only one scar on his right eye.
* Before Springtrap became the character he is today, he used to work as an employee wearing a Spring Bonnie costume at a local Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. (Page 95)
* Springtrap is the only one able to see the missing children as mentioned on page 97. (with the exception of Deliah during the nightmare scene)
* Springtrap's fur has changed from beige (pages 3 to 9), yellowish beige (pages 11 to 31), and greenish yellow (pages 32 to 98) and briefly yellowish beige again (pages 99 to 103), back to his current fur color (Pages 104 to now).
* His speech bubble was light purple square w/ darker purple letters from pgs. 2-6, to his current speech bubble black w/ purple letters pgs. 3-122.
