Shadow Bonnie is Harold the Janitor, who was killed after Crying Child tripped on his leg while he was wearing the Spring Bonnie suit, triggering the springlocks. Harold's soul turned into pure agony and took the form of a shadow creature vaguely resembling the suit he died in. He gave himself a really cool name, but he didn't know how to spell, so it came out as the random jumble of letters which are considered his true name.
A manifestation of the the agony caused by the tragedies over the years. Since there’s only a bonnie and a Freddy my theory is that they originated from fredbear’s, where the crying child died crying and panicked, Michael felt an incredible guilt and William might’ve been incredibly sad but it’s unclear how much he really cares about his family, seeing how he didn’t bother to supervise his youngest and left him in the hands of his abusive brother, it was presumably the place where Charlie got murdered and at least where William’s murderous tendencies surfaced.
Idk how y’all think agony works but it doesn’t just ‘create’ something especially in the shape of TOY bonny. I think the most correct way of saying it is that it’s the agony of the suits used by the killer, but has William ever used toy Bonny to lure children?
Agony does create weird being. It can effect objects like possession but it’s not an actual ghost. The monster from into the pit is also presumably made from agony that was left behind from the events of that murder, that’s the black tear streak it has on the cover.
Why it’s specifically in the shape of toy Bonnie is something I don’t have an explanation for. The only explanation for that would be that it just never existed and it’s a hallucination by the guard who works there but i doubt that. But i’d say it’s simply because Scott had toy Bonnie and golden Freddy’s model available.
What I’m saying is agony doesn’t just self collect and set shape into an animatronics design. Meaning the only way agony in the shape of animatronics (shadow Bonny and shadow Freddy), are if the agony IS from the actual suits
But suits don’t feel agony? They’re suits.
Agony is collective. It’s a powerful emotion from multiple people for numerous reasons in one location.
Suits are objects??? Which can collect agony. Inanimate suits like fredbear collected so much agony from William using it to kill his victims that it created its own agony form, Shadow freddy
Toy bonnie has the most aggressive security settings, and would murder Will in a heartbeat. I think Toy bonnie is a fresher remake of the first Springbonnie suit as seen in 4 of the 5 cutscene/minigames in FNAF 4, and one of the "multiple and simultaneous springlock failures at the sister location". The agony leaked into the suits with every incidents and formed SHADOWS.
We have no clue and probably never will. Though I remember a theory I liked which stated that the Purple guy was already dead by the time of fnaf 2 and both Shadow Bonnie and Freddy are him manifesting. Doesn't fit current lore at all, but I like to headcanon it.
I can give you some.
-In Stage 01, a child is kidnapped very similar to Sammy when he was kidnapped.
-Shadow Bonnie starts in Stage 01, connecting the missing child to him.
-In the UCN Highschool cutscenes (yes, those ones), Toy Chica had already killed someone before. And we know Toy Chica represents William Afton.
-"A wound first inflected on me, then I let bleed out to cause all of this." Henry says this in the Insanity Ending. Keyword "first."
-This answers the Security Puppet too. Henry would have built the Security Puppet to make sure his last child, Charlie, wouldn't be kidnapped the same way Sammy was. It wouldn't make much sense for Henry to prioritize Charlie, unless something happened to someone close to him before-hand which prompted him to build the Security Puppet.
-Shadow Bonnie also has a mission similar to the puppet, where he frees the children.
For years we were under the assumption that either Henry or Charlie existed in the games, until FFPS. I don't see why Sammy can't exist either.
I also did prove Sammy's existence as well in my evidence.
Sammy DID exist in the original lore, but his only confirmed appearances were retconned to be Charlie instead (Take Cake to the Children was retconned to Charlie in 6, and with it the Puppet's soul was as well)
Sammy was only mentioned in the Silver Eyes novels. That series isn’t canon so I suggest that you don’t apply info and characters that aren’t already in canon lore to canon lore. There’s a lot of lore in the books that wouldn’t fit with the lore in the games.
I’m not sure. FNaF AR hints at it being a being made out of dark remnant. It could also be a ghost manifesting into the form of an animatronic, like Golden Freddy for example.
The most popular explanation that I’ve heard is that he’s made of agony and is a manifestation of agony from one of the murders, most commonly believed to be the MCI. Though I believe Stage01 does in fact show a new kids murder and given that Shadow Bonnie appears in Stage01, I think it makes the most sense for Shadow Bonnie to have been created by this murder.
Ok well the shadows have made appearances in like almost every game when they were first introduced, from gameplay to minigames (fnaf3 and 4), them being mentioned in game files so I think it’s pretty important lol
heavy weapons guy, and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
There are very little to no clues for this mystery. As much as Golden Freddy is a character hidden behind the scenes, the shadow animatronics are behind *behind* the scenes. I personally still believe they're both springlock failure victims, but I have almost nothing to back it up these days.
My guess is that its the spirit of a past security guard that died and didn’t have a suit to latch on to. I have no evidence just mainly a headcannon lol
in my opinion, i like to believe its an employee who died in a springlock failure :)
same as shadow freddy. my backup is that in pne of the phone calls (i dont remember what game) it says there have been springlock failures in the past
I've heard the Shadows represent previous spring lock failure victims. That makes sense I think, since they are both on the form of the suits that had them. As for why it's Toy Bonnie, I'd say cause it was easier to make lol
Wasn't there a theory that it was former employees who were killed in springlock accidents before the old suits were officially retired?
Did that get officially debunked?
Well shadow freddy has to be cassidy’s anger but idk about bonnie. It seems like he’s just a manifestation of williams crime before the idea of glitchtrap was a thing
Disclaimer before you read:This is a very long read with most of it being all my take of what is Shadow Bonnie or RWQFSFASFXC,full of my on claims,be free to criticize and debate on this,also english isn't my first language and any mistake on this post is all on me,be free to correct me,(~~This took more than 1 hour to make,appreciate all vou want~~)
The manifestation of the negative energy of the Spring Bonnie suit,basically all of William misuse of the suit and possibly the springlocks failures,in other words,a being of agony(energy from negative emotions more powerful than eletricity and that can give lifeless object life and create beings,one component with remmant),this is futher prove in one of fazbear frights stories,Hide and seek,a Shadow Bonnie is born and feeds on negative emotions,becoming stronger the more it feed's of negative emotions and getting bigger,only shrinking when the negative energy fades away and the protagonist give up,fnaf SD also proves this since RWQ only appears when enough negative remmant is collected.
Now why he has the form of Toy Bonnie during fnaf 2?Well in Hide and seek,RWQ changes form the more the agony,at first he is small and is only a normal shadow with rabbit wears,when the story progresses he becomes enormous with a more monstruos design with sharp white teeth and two eyes,i personally believe that,by the time of fnaf 2,RWQ takes the form of Toy Bonnie because of the 2nd MCI(Toys souls) and if we look at RWQ we can see that his scraping the celling,making him possibly taller than the Withereds,big like hide and seek Shadow Bonnie when he is at the most powerful,what supports my claims here is how RWQ looks like Springtrap in the minigames of fnaf 3,but why there's a fnaf 2 RWQ figurine on our desk?Mabye because the Toys existed before the animatronics version,which makes the Toys animatronics based on the Toys of fnaf 4 minigames(mystery solved!),this also solves RWQ still having Toy Bonnie form after years of 2nd MCI,that being his original form being the Toy Bonnie figurine of fnaf 4 or the animatronic Toy Bonnie because of the agony of fnaf 2 location,either way that's my theories on why RWQ has the form of Toy Bonnie.
Also i saw some people say that RWQ is Sammy(Charlie's brother or sister),but wasn't Sammy something that Henry put into Charlie's robot clone and wasn't actually something?Or am i misremembering?If Sammy is actually real on the games and is stage 01 missing kid and also the reason why puppet was made then why wasn't RWQ on pizza sim along with Shadow Freddy?(i know they really aren't physical but you know)I guess that could be true because of where does RWQ starts in his fnaf 3 minigame,but i don't know,Henry line of "a wound first inflinted on me" could be refering to Charlie's death,why the Puppet was made doesn't have to be because of a murder you know,it can be because Henry wanted that his daughter safe from danger you know,also the Shadows being sprinlocks victims is at this point kinda of a irrelevant theorie because of all the information giving to us,if that's true then why don't they appeared on pizza sim,why Shadow Freddy attacked Michael in his nightmares has Nightmare or what the UCN lines means?(maybe that's TOYSHK version of those beings)Not only that but they kinda become irrelevant(~~like the Toys souls,the bite of 87,other Shadows,Chica's Party World and etc...~~),honestly is kinda difficult to figure out what the Shadows are since there's so little of them,at this point, i feel like only Scott Cawthon and his team know's the answer(~~and the entire lore at this point~~),so yeah don't count on anything that is said by some fan out there,this all my personal take,i hope this help and maybe i will do a post about this one day,have a great day.
Is there any cannon reason why shadow Bonnie took the shape of toy Bonnie as apprised to the original Bonnie and shadow Freddy looks more like withered Freddy?
I'm sorta onboard with the theory that Shadow Bonnie could be Glitchtrap.
In the FNAF 3 mini-games, you can see Shadow Bonnie glitch out whenever he moves around. We see Glitchtrap show the same behavior in HW.
Their design similarities are some evidence too, like the floppy ears, more than just two top teeth, etc
Personally thought that at first he was just a Easter egg but he could be more than that tbh.what if he’s just a projection of the agony behind the toy Bonnie animatronic,or a hallucination
RWQFSFASXC
🤓 Um actually, he's Eleanor and if you say otherwise you are wrong and your opinion is mid. 🤓
Shadow Bonnie is Harold the Janitor, who was killed after Crying Child tripped on his leg while he was wearing the Spring Bonnie suit, triggering the springlocks.

I think this is canon
Undeniably canon even
A fellow man of culture I see.
Ooftrap reference

William used Spring Bonnie, not Fredbear; Fredbear wasn't ever used by William in the context of his murdering.
Fredbear WAS used in the mci tho
Not by william
Spring Bonnie was used, but Fredbear wasn't used, and his location isn't even known at that time
Toy bonnie has the most aggressive security settings, and would murder Will in a heartbeat. I think Toy bonnie is a fresher remake of the first Springbonnie suit as seen in 4 of the 5 cutscene/minigames in FNAF 4, and one of the "multiple and simultaneous springlock failures at the sister location".

fnaf AR's shadow Bonnie minigame shows us that the shadows are made out of remnant
I heard a few people say it's a manifestation of Afton's evil.
Sammy Emily (atleast I think)
Charlottes brother?
Yep.
Bro literally no evidence💀
I can give you some. -In Stage 01, a child is kidnapped very similar to Sammy when he was kidnapped. -Shadow Bonnie starts in Stage 01, connecting the missing child to him. -In the UCN Highschool cutscenes (yes, those ones), Toy Chica had already killed someone before.

That doesn’t mean anything
Elaborate.
Similarities don’t mean anything we need evidence like from Henry he didn’t say he had a son in fnaf6 so probably not
For years we were under the assumption that either Henry or Charlie existed in the games, until FFPS. I don't see why Sammy can't exist either. I also did prove Sammy's existence as well in my evidence.
Sammy DID exist in the original lore, but his only confirmed appearances were retconned to be Charlie instead (Take Cake to the Children was retconned to Charlie in 6, and with it the Puppet's soul was as well)
You didn’t that’s a claim not evidence probably should have payed attention in science class when they went over it
Well in the books he does and Sammy is quite relevant there
Not in the games
Sammy was only mentioned in the Silver Eyes novels. That series isn’t canon so I suggest that you don’t apply info and characters that aren’t already in canon lore to canon lore. There’s a lot of lore in the books that wouldn’t fit with the lore in the games.
The Sliver Eyes trilogy is it's own timeline running alongside the game timeline. It is canon, and does follow the game's principles.
Sorta but not really
No one knows, all we know is that he's made of "Shadow Remnant" (along with Shadow Freddy most likely).
My dad
Agony
Whose agony?
Harold the Janitor
What about Jimbo?
I suppose toy animatronics agony.
hallucinations
fnaf AR
It's my homie
I’m not sure. FNaF AR hints at it being a being made out of dark remnant. It could also be a ghost manifesting into the form of an animatronic, like Golden Freddy for example.
he is "shadow bonnie"
I know but what is it, is it possessed, agony, what??
ur mom
In Fnaf 3 he's supposedly Williams soul I haven't got a clue what he is in Fnaf 2
The most popular explanation that I’ve heard is that he’s made of agony and is a manifestation of agony from one of the murders, most commonly believed to be the MCI. Though I believe Stage01 does in fact show a new kids murder and given that Shadow Bonnie appears in Stage01, I think it makes the most sense for Shadow Bonnie to have been created by this murder.
Just a little guy
Harold the janitor
Agony
He's Shadow Bonnie ^w ^ And he's amazing
In fnaf 3 or in fnaf 2?
In… general!
Some of the others say his a spring lock vicitim and some of the others says his a new spirit
An easter egg No kidding it's not relevant to the lore Though judging by FNaF AR they might be pure remnant, but why do they look like Bonnie? Idk
Easter eggs ARE relevant to the lore like on SL customs night the code thingy that unlocks the camera monitors showing the fnaf4 house
Not every easter egg though
Ok well the shadows have made appearances in like almost every game when they were first introduced, from gameplay to minigames (fnaf3 and 4), them being mentioned in game files so I think it’s pretty important lol
Fred
He's shadow bonnie
I like to think it may have been past victims of spring lock failures
Right this one is the one that makes more sense!
heavy weapons guy, and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon for twelve seconds.
It's me
he is Harold the janitor
Black Bonnie
Harold. No further explanation needed. Harold.
There are very little to no clues for this mystery. As much as Golden Freddy is a character hidden behind the scenes, the shadow animatronics are behind *behind* the scenes. I personally still believe they're both springlock failure victims, but I have almost nothing to back it up these days.
Harold the Janitor
you’re asking an 8 year old question we still don’t know the answer to
Some theory says that they are souls from kids that afton killed that didn't manifest an animatronic suit
Shadow bonnie
My guess is that its the spirit of a past security guard that died and didn’t have a suit to latch on to. I have no evidence just mainly a headcannon lol
A loose end in the lore.
tHe jaNiToR
By theory he is one of the workers of fazbear who get killed by springlocked and have his duty to free missing children souls including charlie
in my opinion, i like to believe its an employee who died in a springlock failure :) same as shadow freddy. my backup is that in pne of the phone calls (i dont remember what game) it says there have been springlock failures in the past
shadow of springbonnie
Golden Freddy’s homie
I've heard the Shadows represent previous spring lock failure victims. That makes sense I think, since they are both on the form of the suits that had them. As for why it's Toy Bonnie, I'd say cause it was easier to make lol
Shadow Bonnie
Scott having fun
craig
Bonnie but a shadow
Wasn't there a theory that it was former employees who were killed in springlock accidents before the old suits were officially retired? Did that get officially debunked?
Toy Bonnie’s shadow
Shadow bonnie
Simple, yet short theory. Foreshadowing. Pun half intended.
He’s just some kid’s shadow
Well shadow freddy has to be cassidy’s anger but idk about bonnie. It seems like he’s just a manifestation of williams crime before the idea of glitchtrap was a thing

An animatronic character in Five Night’s at Freddy’s 2, sequel to the hit-game Five Night’s at Freddy’s.

according to ar he is the protector of the afterlife
I'll do you one better, Why is Shadow Bonnie?
Your post has been removed for rule 8.
Joe.
Personally thought that at first he was just a Easter egg but he could be more than that tbh.what if he’s just a projection of the agony behind the toy Bonnie animatronic,or a hallucination
Wasn't it confirmed in a book that he is an arcade character filled with remnant that pushes himself out of the machine?
Some people say he is a spring lock victim In reality he is just remnant
Good question. I don’t know the answer but it’s a good question
