3 Star Family

3 Star Family is the friendship between Glamrock Freddy, Gregory and Vanessa from the Five Nights at Freddy's fandom.

Canon
On the day a young boy named Gregory walks into the Mega Pizzaplex, the Vanny side of Vanessa's personality was trying to hack the Glamrock Animatronics and only Glamrock Freddy was able to avoid her grasp as he suddenly malfunctioned and shut down during a show. Allowing Gregory to hide in Freddy's chest compartment when he sensed something wrong about the security guard. Freddy is shown to know Vanessa by her job role in Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex and believes her to be someone that could be trusted, until he meets Gregory. Who tells Freddy that Vanessa cannot be trusted and can't risk her finding him. Despite not knowing why that is, Freddy agrees to keep Gregory safe from her as they work to get the boy out of the building. Vanessa is aware that Gregory was still in the building and was also angry at Freddy for crashing, as it ruined the show. To keep his new friend safe, Freddy acts like he doesn't know about the "lost child" when Vanessa found him to be outside his room, and acted like he didn't know how that happened. Gregory watches Vanessa and Freddy talk from behind the curtain of the aid station and didn't come out of his hiding place until she left. Gregory can only safely approach Vanessa, without the fear of her seeing him, when he is hiding inside Freddy. Until Vanessa managed to uncover the signal from Gregory's Fazwatch and notices that Freddy's voice was saying "Gregory" quite a lot, so she has Moon bring Freddy to Parts and Services to get answers. By the time Gregory catches up to Freddy he sees Vanessa interrogate him, after she removed his head. Freddy tries to throw Vanessa off by mentioning that all the Fazwatches were made to sound like him, while still acting like he knows nothing about the lost boy. After Vanessa left to continue her search for Gregory while Freddy is left begging her to not leave him like this, Gregory enters the room and reattaches Freddy's head.

As Vanny, she gives off an "energy" that keeps Freddy from being able to see her while Gregory can see her just fine. This brief glimpse of her soon leads to Gregory and Freddy uncovering one of the darker sides to the Pizzaplex. As well as them uncovering hidden secrets about Vanessa as they look into Vanny. Some of the game's endings involve Vanessa and her Vanny persona, most of them being bad while one of them is of a happy nature. To help Freddy see Vanny Gregory upgrades him to Roxy's eyes, that also allow them to find disk recordings of Vanessa's therapy sessions. Gregory fully upgrading Freddy also plays apart in unlocking some of the Vanny endings.

Fanon
The nature of this friendship is based on the "Savior" ending, as Gregory frees Vanessa from Vanny and she leaves with him and Freddy. This friendship is also treated as a familyship, as Freddy and Vanessa adopt Gregory and the three of them become a family. With Vanessa serving as a mother or older sister figure to Gregory. With the Ruin DLC showing to not be connected to the canon ending, it got some to think that it follows the "Savior" ending, that is why some Ruin fanart of Gregory have him being accompanied by Freddy and Vanessa as they try to help him save Cassie. While those who also support the Glamrock Family and prefer the Savior ending or merge that ending with the canon one, sometimes have the three leave the Pizzaplex with the rest of the Glamrock Gang, after they too were freed from Glitchtrap's control.

Most versions of Freddy adopting Gregory AU's, after they left the Pizzaplex in one of the good endings, Freddy hides the fact that he is an Animatronic so Gregory won't be taken from him, Vanessa being a human allows Freddy to have help with those obstacles. By making people outside their makeshift family think that Gregory is in her care, helps Gregory to build Freddy a new body for his head and takes care of a few other things that Freddy would need to be careful of, outside their shared home. Along with them making sure that Gregory has a normal, happy life after what the three of them had gone through.

Due to the theory of Michael Afton's soul inhabiting Glamrock Freddy, it has Gregory and Vanessa be viewed as the Crying Child and Elisabeth Afton. With Gregory looking a bit like what the Crying Child is believed to look like, and is seen eating a Golden Freddy pop in the Savior ending. Along with Vanessa having blond colored hair like Elisabeth was shown to have in the 8-bit game from Sister Location, making it look like that the Afton Siblings have been reunited. Even though there is no proof to support Gregory and Vanessa having any ties to Michael's siblings. While the theory of Michael's spirit somehow ending in Freddy is simply used to explain the humanity Glamrock Freddy displayed in Security Breach, since FNAF is known for spirit possessed Animatronics and want SB to have its recurring theme.
