I want to avoid misunderstandings so I clarify again that this is my AU.

⚠️⚠️LONG TEXT AHEAD BEWARE⚠️

The puppeteer has a diploma in film and theater acting. It is not a clear official certificate, but having demonstrated skill especially in handling puppets by making them move as if they were alive, his family trusted that he could find opportunity abroad.

After getting a spot at the Rat & Cat theater, he pitched his character idea to the owner and was given the opportunity to execute it.

From the beginning, his show took a long time to get the attention of the children because he was a new character and at that time he hadn't built Vinnie yet, so he was just a single actor.

His show was stagnant and had its ups and downs and there was a time when he was told that his show could be canceled because it was not a big success compared to the Rat and Cat show.

Fortunately, he managed to get a second chance and a few weeks before the events of FNaC 3, he had already built Vinnie, which was shown to the children along with two new acting mechanics: Puppeteering and ventriloquism, he attracted the attention of children, saving his show and having almost the same recognition as Rat and Cat
