Random Springbonnie Headcanons Before Security Breach Confirms or Denies ‘Em

Early Concept Fredbear’s

*I wanna joke and say it’s William’s OC before OCs were a thing but… That might be right? Ultimate Guide said Will prided playing the guy, so okay.

*Anyway, Springy was more tricky in early test runs. Always messing with Fredbear when not performing with him. He meant well, but maaaybe he was jealous. Idk.

*Had a crush on an unseen character that young Will based off of his future wife. Fredbear would tease him for said crush, which Spring would be annoyed by.

*William probably voiced him, due to the production team being small. He gave Spring a more cartoonish version of his own voice, Think like Sister Location but with more energy and slightly higher. Younger, too, I guess?

*Spring always chose the lower part for singing in harmony. Fredbear’s voice was deeper, sure, but young Henry could sing higher when needed. Gonna say Will would’ve been bass in the high school choir.

Prime-Time Fredbear’s/Pre-‘83 Incident

*Will was determined to still play Spring even though Freddy Fazbear’s became a thing. So, he worked with the company to tweak Springy and keep him on the roster. (To say Will was a bit salty, though, was an understatement.)

*Toon!Springy was properly created around this time. Although the animatronic was more goofy when performing, the cartoon version was more jumpy. Let’s just say there were weeeird inconsistencies, character-wise. Yes, that includes the smug poster boi.

*Because of this, smart kids could properly tell when Will was performing or not. Will’s Spring was more clever and polite, though still acting like a sugar-hyped bunny doing somersaults. Meanwhile, normal Spring definitely had the first two traits removed. A shame he took a huge break post-‘83. Those kids could‘ve saved lives…

Post-‘83/Aftermath

*Was used for a bit before being retired. Those who weren’t involved in Will‘s crime spree definitely noticed Spring was a bit more… twitchy. Like, conscience-fighting levels of twitchy.

*Will made sure Spring’s AI was shut off before putting on the suit. That way, nothing interrupted him while doing his “work”. He basically turned that Spring-lock suit into an actual mascot costume, by some miracle.

*After the Springlock Incident, the AI just… shut off. Like the incident done keeled off the character and Will all at once. Will tried to revive it as Springtrap so he could channel the voice box, but it never really worked. I guess it did work in the fact that it responded to the lure Fazbear Fright had, but nothing much else.

*Thankfully, the Springtrap suit was abandoned somewhere shortly after the Fazbear Fright fire. In pieces scattered about a dingy room, sure, but it was there. Fazbear Entertainment saw this version and salvaged it after it shut down and was bought out by its current new owner.

*So, long story short, Springbonnie lives on much like William does. Hopefully, he’ll be up on stage with Fredbear soon. If the museum thing really is in the Pizzaplex, then maybe—just maybe— he can finally perform one last time. And, to be honest, William probably wouldn’t mind that at all.

*Also, if SpringBonnie was aware during any of this stuff, he’d be trying to act as Will’s conscience every step of the way. And Will, knowing him the best, would 100% agree on Springy being highly salty about everything. Yes, including the locks going off. Very much so the locks going off.
