Games

Crying Child was a small boy with medium brown hair, dark eyes, and pale skin, wearing a black sleeveless shirt with two gray stripes, blue shorts, and brown shoes. He is seen crying nonstop throughout all the FNAF minigames, with his sprite's head moving up and down to mimic sobbing, and flashes of tears streaming down his face, hence the name.

Character Encyclopedia

In the Five Nights at Freddy's Character Encyclopedia the Crying Child is depicted as a small boy with light brown hair and hazel eyes. He is depicted wearing a dark gray T-shirt with two lighter gray stripes, dark blue shorts and light brown shoes. He is also depicted with a band-aid on his left knee.

Personality Sister location circus fox

Not much is said about the Elizabeth Afton Crying Child's personality but observing his behavior in FNAF ,funtime fox the pirate-funtime vupilex the tangle-funtime igor the balloon boy-funtime foxy-Ballora-funtime deer-Funtime Freddy-unicorn-doll the marionette-circus Baby-ugly duckling he appears extremely timid and constantly distressed; his nonstop crying stems not only from his intense fear of animatronics but also his older brother's relentless bullying (who uses certain tactics to torment him every day). He's also seen to not be brave at all, as seen in the Night 2 minigame. Despite this, the funntime fox the pirate/Elizabeth Afton icecream Crying Child seems to love the animatronic characters of Freddy's, owning plushies of the characters. This is confirmed when in one of the minigames, if he walks over to his plushies, he says "These are my friends."

Five Nights at Freddy's 4 Minigames

Each minigame depicts events during the days leading up to the Crying Child's birthday, with text preceding the minigames indicating "X days until the party".

Pre-Night 1

The Crying Child is locked crying in his bedroom with his plushies (interestingly, the Foxy plushie has its head removed). Approaching them, he states "These are my friends." After banging on the door several times, he gives up and weeps, Fredbear plush stating that "Tomorrow is another day."

Night 1

The Crying Child walks around his house, being followed by a seemingly teleporting Fredbear Plush. When approaching the TV in the room to the left, the Older Brother, wearing a Foxy mask, pops out and jumpscares him, causing him to collapse onto the floor breaking down into sobbing. Like in the first minigame, Fredbear's text states that "Tomorrow is another day."

Night 2

The Crying Child is seen crying under a table, having been left behind at Fredbear's Family Diner. The Fredbear plush urges him to leave. Upon heading right, the child is blocked by an employee wearing the Fredbear suit. The Fredbear plush instructs him, saying "It's too late. Hurry the other way and find someone who will help! You know what will happen if he catches you!" Heading left, he can see shadows of Fredbear and Spring Bonnie on stage. The Fredbear plush says "You can find help if you can get past them. You have to be strong."

At this point, the Crying Child can go back to the previous scene and catch a glimpse of an interaction in the back through a set of double doors that had previously been closed: a purple man places a Spring Bonnie head on another individual after which he closes the door. Heading left again and advancing further, the person wearing the Fredbear suit appears at the other end of the room. However, the Crying Child completely lacking the courage to past the animatronics, breaks down crying and hides under a table. A message appears, stating that "Tomorrow is another day." Night 3 then starts.

Night 3

This minigame is a continuation of the previous one. The Crying Child is in Fredbear's Family Diner, sobbing and curled up under a table; the Fredbear plush once again urges him to leave. Attempting to go to the left prompts the plush to exclaim "NO! Don't you remember what you saw? The exit is the other way! Hurry and leave!"

After exiting the restaurant, the child goes home. He can speak to the other children, some of whom mock him or spread rumors about the diner. Upon reaching home, if once in front of his plushies, the Crying Child repeats "These are my friends." His older brother then jumpscares from under his bed, causing the Crying Child to break down. The plush reminds him "Tomorrow is another day."

Night 4

The Crying Child is locked in a spare parts room of Fredbear's Family Diner. There are various unsettling animatronic parts and heads on the shelves and tables around him, including a slumped, headless yellow suit with something sticking out of the neck hole, which can be interpreted as wires or someone's hair. As the child sobs, he yells "Please let me out." "PLEASE!" The child then helplessly falls over into a fetal position, "...please let me out..."

Night 5

This minigame starts with "0 days until the party." The player cannot move around. The minigame opens with a scene of The Crying Child, surrounded by the older brother and three of his "friends" wearing masks of the original four animatronics. The bullies demean the Crying Child and, despite his pleas, pick him up and take him towards the animatronics. This culminates as they reach the stage, at which point his older brother states "Hey guys, I think the little man said he wants to give Fredbear a big kiss!" The bullies shove the Crying Child's head inside of the Fredbear animatronic's mouth. They laugh at his uncontrollable screams and wails of terror before Fredbear's mechanical jaw snaps shut, "biting" the child. The Crying Child goes limp, and the bullies stop laughing.

Night 6

After the bite, the player is taken to a dark screen with the Crying Child and the Fredbear plush, accompanied by piano music. The plushies of the original four animatronics from the boy's room can be seen in the back. A voice, presumably the older brother, says, "Can you hear me? I don't know if you can hear me. ....I'm sorry." Dialogue appears (presumably from the Fredbear plush, though the speaker(s) is unclear), stating, "You're broken." The Foxy plush disappears. "We are still your friends." The Chica plush disappears. "Do you still believe that?" The Bonnie plush disappears. "I'm still here." The Freddy plush disappears. The Fredbear Plush states "I will put you back together." At last, the Fredbear plush fades from view, and the Crying Child breaks down before fading out, accompanied the sound of a heart monitor flatlining.

After this, the player will be taken back to the title screen and awarded a second star.

Dialogue

“These are my friends.” — Crying Child about the plushies in his room

“Please let me out. PLEASE! ...please let me out....” — Crying Child begging to be let out of the Parts and Services closet, but due to no response, he helplessly stops after realizing that no one will listen to him.

“No! Please!” — Crying Child pleading to his older brother to not carry him to the Animatronics on the day of the party

“No! I don't want to go!” — Crying Child beseeching his older brother as he's being carried to the stage but stops by the time he was very close to the Animatronics.
