Updated my Cassie design since she has an actual clear model now! Also some headcanons for her have changed, you can read below 👇
-She’s still an Emily! And she’s still Sammy and Samantha’s daughter, however, she and Gregory aren’t siblings anymore, Gregory isn’t a member of the Emily family.
-Gregory and Cassie were friends in school. More so really each other’s only real friend. Cassie was the star student while Gregory was rather ostracized amongst his peers. They found comfort in each other as Cassie was disliked for being seen as arrogant for her intelligence and Gregory for his lack of interest in essentially anything.
-Full name is Cassiopeia Valentina Franz-Emily. She prefers Cassie since no one at school ever seemed to pronounce her name right.
-She has a love for sweets, carrot cake being her favorite.
-Sammy isn’t her biological father. Samantha became pregnant via a donor as she was already set on wanting kids before she and Sammy started dating. She was about a year old when her mother and Sammy’s relationship started. Sammy eventually adopted Cassie! She’s extremely close to her father.
-She’s fluent in English, Spanish, and is studying French.
-Her favorite animatronics are Roxy and Bonnie. She loves Roxy since she was comforted by the wolf during her birthday that her “friends” didn’t bother to show up to (except Gregory), she tended to frequent Roxy Raceway after that. She loves Bonnie as he’s Sammy’s favorite animatronic and gave plenty of hand-me-down Fazbear mech to Cassie featuring Bonnie that she treasures.
-She can come off as rather cold and matter of fact to those who don’t like her, she’s like this however strictly to those who pick on her. She’s actually more insecure than her peers think, and rather sweet to those who show her kindness (ex: Roxy), she’s also rather curious by nature, always eager to learn.
-She painted her nails green to match Roxy!
-She knows very little of her family’s history, as Samantha and Sammy intended to protect her from the trauma’s of their childhood. Sammy and Henry were on no-contact for years, and she knows that Sammy had a sibling he gets upset when he talks about. And she knows her mama had a sister who died young. She does however spend time with her Granny Cynthia (Mrs. Emily) and her Abuela Patricia! (Samantha’s mom)
-William targeted her in hopes to gain a new follower by testing her survival abilities and usage of the V.A.N.N.I mask. To put it bluntly she passed with flying colors. (Will get a (real) job! Stay away from her!!!)
-Roxy rescued her after the elevator crash because I fucking said so.
-After Gregory’s supposed betrayal she sets off to find a way to get both herself and Roxy out, she’s now hurt, angry, and she still swears every time she puts her mask on she can hear some old British guy whispering ideas of revenge to her. Best to ignore that. I’m sure it’s nothing.
"Big sister love me still I like she does Samantha was mean to me but She didn't mean it I know she didn't she want me to come home I know she does I know she does."
Samantha (Fazbear Frights Coming Home) is 100% autistic. Hear me out:
DISCLAIMER: I’m not a licensed professional, I’m speaking based on my personal experience and my knowledge of autism.
- She was taken to two psychiatrists after her sister’s death. Both rooms were messy and had a messy pile of toys for Samantha to play with, which distressed her so much that she begged her mother not to make her go back there. It sounds like Samantha was overstimulated by the messy environment. Overstimulation caused by being in uncomfortable environments is something a lot of autistic people go through.
- Very specific nighttime routine that Susie finds confusing- Write at least a paragraph in her diary, brush her teeth, go to the bathroom, have a glass of water, touch her toes four times, brush her hair fifty times, say goodnight to her dolls, and then get into bed. Specific patterns and routines aren’t uncommon for autistic people to have.
- Not a trait but a experience many autistic can relate to: being teased/bullied because you’re considered "weird" and don’t "fit in".
These are things I can relate to and understand as a autistic person, so I consider Samantha to be autistic. So to sum it up: Samantha is autistic because I said so /j. But seriously, she comes off as very ND.
Fritz: ADHD (Combined Type), NPD, Narcolepsy, PTSD (due to childhood trauma/SA occurring in earlier childhood)
Charlie: Autistic (fluctuates in between semi-verbal and hyperverbal), Anemia, Atelophobia.
Plus our three favorite siblings:
Michael: Dyslexia, Synesthesia (chromesthesia and lexical-gustatory), Misophonia
Evan: Schizophrenia (Schizoaffective, accompanied by Bipolar Disorder), Autistic (goes either nonverbal or hyperverbal with a LOT of stuttering and slurring when stressed), BPD
Elizabeth: ADHD (Combined Type), Anxiety, Atelophobia (my girl have you heard of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria being stacked on top of that? It’s the worst /gen).
(all Afton kids and MCI gang later develop trauma disorders, with most of them developing some form of PTSD or C-PTSD. Rip to my children *continues to rotate them in mind like a roasting meat kebab over an open flame anyway* </333).
Samantha Franz was the younger sister of murder victim Susie Franz, the more level headed between her and her sister, she had a promising career ahead of her (yet is still consumed by the grief over her beloved sister)
She married and had two children, and does what she can to give them the good childhood that she and her husband Sammy never got to have.
@crazedauthor requested (on Discord) of a kid asking to call Sun / Moon papa / daddy, so I figured a preview of my own character, Samantha, from my fanfiction Four Makes a Family FINALLY getting to ask her paternal father figures the big big question.
