Roxegory

Roxegory is the friendship between Roxanne Wolf and Gregory in the Five Nights at Freddy's fandom.

Canon
Roxy is one of the main enemies that Gregory has to avoid in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. In-game, she will try to hunt Gregory down and often mock him by saying that he has no friends and that she is better than he is. If she spots him at any point, she will chase him down and attempt to jumpscare him. At a point in the game, Gregory will repair a Driver Assist S.T.A.F.F. bot to allow him to drive on the Roxy Raceway. Roxy attempts to stop him by jumping onto the track, only for Gregory to crash the kart he is driving into her, dismantling her in the process. After taking her eyes, Gregory is then pursued blindly by Roxy until he escapes.

Fanon
The ship was created through the Five Nights at Freddy's fanon. Following the game’s release, Roxy quickly became a popular character among the fandom. Specifically, fans wanted to see a scenario where Roxy was Gregory’s guardian instead of Freddy. From this, they started to devise their own headcanons and what-if stories depicting this situation. This resulted in the ship gaining popularity, with many different depictions of it to varying degrees.

Roxegory is arguably the most popular friendship in the Security Breach fandom, rivalled only by Glamrock Fregory. However, rather than antagonizing said ship, it is often paired up with it. This in turn has led to an increase in popularity of the Glamrock Fredxy ship, with most fans who support one of the other often treating Freddy and Roxy as Gregory’s parental figures. This has allowed both ships to overlap into being a family ship, even though it doesn’t strictly count as one. Depictions of this pairing as a het ship are not as common.

Fan content for this friendship is incredibly easy to come by, especially when depicted as a family ship. There are numerous videos, fanarts and fan-fictions which portray the pairing in this way. On Archive of Our Own, over 70 fan-fictions tagged for this pairing were available within the first three months of the game’s release. In the same time frame on DeviantArt, though no tag existed, a direct search of 'roxanne wolf and gregory' would return over 200 results. Undoubtedly however, the most often form of representation for this friendship is videography, whether it be from animators such as TwoDev-Sensei on YouTube or roleplayers such as Nuoance on TikTok.
