Charlotte “Charlie” Emily, is the main protagonist of the Five Nights At Freddy's Novel Trilogy.
She is a robotic duplicate of Henry Emily's daughter of the same name, who was kidnapped and murdered by his colleague William Afton in 1983. Twelve years later she returns to her hometown of Hurricane to attend her old friend Michael’s memorial only to come into conflict with Afton and his machinations.

Appearance[]
Charlie is a young woman between the ages of 17-18 standing at about 5 feet, 4 inches. She had long flowing dark brown hair, a round face with pale skin and rosy cheeks, a thin mouth that always appeared as if she was going to smile and sparkling wide brown eyes. For her attire she mainly wore a purple shirt with a green jacket, as well as black pants with matching black combat boots.
Personality[]
| “ | She's a bit odd, but she's a good kid. | „ |
| ~ Clay Burke describing Charlie's personality. |
Charlie is shown as a very strong, determined and self sufficient person having been raised to have these values by her Aunt Jen. This is shown by her bravery, confidence and willingness to head striaght into danger. Examples include her fighting off Chica by electrocuting her with a live wire despite the danger, knocking out William with a metal pipe, freeing herself from the clutches of the Twisted animatronics, and even fighting Afton as Springtrap and Circus Baby head on.
She is also very nostalgic and in touch with her past as the first thing she did when she returned to Hurricane was visit her childhood home and go to the abandoned Freddy's with her friends to relive the happiness of her childhood. She also never forgot about her childhood friends even though they had been apart for ten years, having jumped at the chance to reunite with them and attend Michael's memorial. She cares deeply for her friends and family and went above and beyond to protect them from harm, like when she saved Carlton from a springlock failure and sacrificed herself to defeat Baby. She could be socially awkward at sometimes, as shown by her interactions with other people. She often stumbles in her words and can be caught in her own little world like when she had trouble ordering breakfast at a diner, rushing past a family of four without saying an "excuse me".
Charlie was also highly intelligent perhaps nearing genius levels something she inherited from her father. She built two robotic heads that were programmed to interact with and mimic each other and she majored in robotics when she went to college in ST. George. She was also the one to figure out the in's and out's of illusion discs and managed to make a counter to them. She also dug too deeply into a zombie movie pointing out all its scientific imposibilites.
However, Charlie isn't without her flaws, she is prone to recklessness and irrational behavior. When she had dreams about Sammy begging for help, she started to believe there was meaning to them and a chance he was alive somewhere. Charlie became hellbent on finding him, even though this quest put herself and others in grave danger. She could also be wrathful and vengeful having tripped the springlocks in Afton's suit for his actions which led to his brutal death and even beat him to a pulp when he became Springtrap, demanding to know why he killed Sammy. She even lashed out at her Aunt Jen when she rightly told her not to return to Hurricane considering all the horrible things that happened there.
Even though all of her friends where able to move on from what happened at Freddy's all those years ago, Charlie refused to let go and her obsession with the past costed her the future in many ways. This mindset very nearly cost her life as she was so desperate to find Sammy in her delusions she was attacked by Twisted Freddy and seemingly died in a springlock failure. Later on when Charlie learns about her true origins of merely being a replica of the real Charlie and essentially the ghost of Henry's grief she becomes disillusioned with herself. She ultimately understands that she was never meant to exist in the first place and willing throws her life away to stop Circus Baby.
Trivia[]
- In the Fourth Closet there is a discrepency with Charlie's age. She is stated to have been born in 1980 but she was stated to be seveteen during the events of the Silver Eyes in 1995 thus she should have been fifteen. It's likely this is an oversight or Henry made the robotic recreation of Charlie to be slightly older than the original.
- The plot twist of Charlie being a mechanical recreation of the real one leaves many questions as to how she was able to function and live a normal life as a human without anyone let alone herself noticing that she was different.
