= Chizza = 

Chizza is the cargo between Chica and pizza.

Fanon
Chica's love of pizza is well known among Chica fans. With the chicken animatronic being possessed by the soul of a murdered child, it got some to wonder if the child inhabiting Chica loved eating pizza and somehow passed that fondness into her.

Fandom
= Eclipse Drop = 

Eclipse Drop is the familyship between the two halves of the Daycare Attendant (Sun and Moon).

Fanon
Sun and Moon are viewed as the dual personalities of the Daycare Attendant and have even been paralleled with Jekyll and Hyde. With Sun being kind and friendly, while Moon is much darker in appearance than just personality alone. Sun is like Dr. Jekyll who comes out during the day, while Moon mirrors Mr. Hyde with how the night was the time he shows his face. It has been hinted that Moon might have been helping Vanny in the shadows of the Mega Pizzaplex, while Sun is possibly left in the dark of this or is simply left powerless to stop them. With the Daycare Attendant's Sun side being programmed to look after children than harm them, it explains why Sun didn't want Gregory to turn off the lights, knowing that it will summon his Hyde-like side and would end up harming anyone who isn't asleep after lights out.

Although the two are seen as enemies to one another, there have been times when Sun and Moon are depicted as brothers. With how dual/multiple personality disorders that were born from abuse or traumatic events sometimes leads to the second personality becoming a protector to the core personality. Explaining why some fans have Sun and Moon on friendlier terms, as they explore the idea of the two excepting one another as each other's halves. Even though Moon is mostly based on the darker second personality cases that don't have them care for the core host at all and try to take full control as the dominant personality in their place. While the person they were born from struggle to keep them from harming others.

After the Ruin DLC revealed their Eclipse form and how being trapped in a burning building can be traumatic to anyone, human or machine, Eclipse came to be seen as the Daycare Attendant's third personality. It's not uncommon for people to develop more than one split personality, that sometime serve as a merged version of the core and one of their other multiple personalities. Which is what Eclipse is viewed as, Sun and Moon sharing the same mind and body at the same time.

There are theories that the Daycare Attendant was originally the mascot of the theatre section that was seen in the Pizzaplex, with Sun being shown to be dramatic and the Attendant's two faces mirroring the happy-sad masks that are commonly used as an iconic symbol for theatres. While the original daycare mascot is suspected to be Foxy, there have been hints and theories that the Pizzaplex might have had a Pirate's Cove that originally served as the daycare aria, until it got replaced and relocated after Foxy was shut down. Posters of a lighthouse and other certain arias in the building help to support this theory.

= Emily Family = 

Emily Family is the family ship between Charlotte Emily and Henry Emily.

Canon
Charlotte "Charlie" Emily is the daughter of Henry Emily, one of the owners of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Trilogy - The Silver Eyes
In the alternate adoption novels of the main series, Henry Emily fell into despair after his three year old daughter was murdered by William Afton, forcing Henry to close the diner they co-owned. Henry poor his grief into a ragdoll she loved and as he fell into madness Henry began to treat Ella the doll like it really was his Charlie, creating a "spark of life" as the doll becomes a sentient from Henry's grieving. To make his self created illusion feel real, Henry uses his skills to recreate his late daughter by placing Ella in the animatronic dolls he creates to serve as "Charlie's" stages of life (toddler, child, teen, adult). Through a camera tripod Henry creates false memories for her, making Charlie believe that it was Sammy, Charlotte's twin brother, who was taken than her and to ensure that she truly believes that she is the real Charlotte Emily she was modelled after. Henry's wife taking their son with her when she left helped to make the lie believable, as the robotic Charlie is unaware that she is an animatronic doll that is powered by Ella. Even though she had asked her father if dismantling the robots he is unpleased with for parts causes them harm.

One of the toys Henry had made for Charlie is a copy of Ella that comes out of the smallest closet in her room holding a tea tray, while the other two closets were kept closed. Leaving Charlie to wonder what was in them and why she has three closets.

= Glamrock Family = 

Glamrock Family is the familyship between Glamrock Freddy, Gregory, Glamrock Chica, Montgomery Gator and Roxanne Wolf.

Fanon
This FNAF familyship is mostly based on the idea of Chica, Monty and Roxey breaking free from Vanny's control, with help from Gregory, or were never hacked at all, when Freddy meets Gregory and they form a father-son bond. As the other Glamrock Animatronicts become part of their family and help Freddy to raise Gregory. Since Roxanne Wolf has already been featured as a mother figure to Gregory, it only seemed fair to include the rest of the band. From time to time, some like to include the Sunny side of the Daycare Attendant and even Glamrock Bonnie to this family. Because Glamrock Foxy is currently a theory/rumor that hasn't been proven, he only appears in this familyship on very rare occasions. That sometimes have Gregory meet Foxy and reunites him with the other Glamrocks.

Some versions of this ship have the Glamrocks raise Gregory from a baby to a child, before he is discovered by the staff. Who weren't too sure what to make of it, or if leaving Gregory with the Glamrock Animatronics is safe or not. Believing that Gregory would be far better off with a human family than a robotic one. The fear of Gregory being taken away from them is what has the animatronics keep their human ward a secret. While the release of the 2023 FNAF film has another group base their bond on the one that Abby Schmidt has with her Animatronic friends.

There have even been times when Vanessa is added to this family, mostly when the story has her breaking free from Vanny and Springtrap's hold on her mind, and she helps the Glamrocks look after Gregory. Like she does in the 3 Star Family, but with the rest of Freddy's Animatronic friends who don't get damaged for parts.

Quotes
"I do not come up here anymore. I miss him."

- Glamrock Freddy indirectly mentioning Glamrock Bonnie; Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach

Fanon
Half of the ship's support comes from those who can see that Glamrock Freddy deeply misses Glamrock Bonnie after he disappeared. With Freddy's words and messages to Bonnie hinting that they might have been more than just friends. Since Freddy is shown to be more human than machine, meaning that he is capable of emotions.

= Golddy = 

Golddy is the non-binary between Golden Freddy and Freddy Fazbear.

Fanon
With Golden Freddy believed to be the previous Freddy Fazbear, with them being seen in the 8-bit "flashback games", it has some view Golden Freddy as the father (or mother) of the iconic Freddy Fazbear.

Fandom
= Maxnessa = 

Maxnessa is the femslash ship between Max and Vanessa Shelly.

Canon
Max and Vanessa have never interacted. Vanessa is at least aware of Max, as she was aware of the break-in at Freddy's that resulted in Max's death. Vanessa was likely the one to have cleaned up the aftermath due to her role of cleaning up her father's messes and keeping Mike in the dark. If true, this would mean she stuffed Max's body into Shadow Freddy. Mike later confronts Vanessa about her lack of action against the animatronics that killed innocent people, and Vanessa replies that they weren't innocent.

Although Max and Vanessa have little to do with each other throughout the movie, one compelling parallel is that both have a complex relationship with a family member that manipulates them to go against their morals. Although not fully apparent in the film, Max was a compassionate person manipulated by her brother into helping with his crimes. This is similar to Vanessa's situation, in which she was forced to help her father cover up his child murders.

Behind the Scenes
"No I ship it"

- Kat Conner Sterling (Max) about Maxnessa

Fanon
Maxnessa is a rarepair in the fandom due to them having no interactions. The ship has been around since the release of the movie, mainly started by femslash enthusiasts who were fans of both characters. Though being quite an unexpected pairing with a small following, most of the fandom was unaware of the ship's existence. It wasn't until Max's actress Kat Conner Sterling tweeted about Maxnessa that the ship gained more recognition throughout the fandom. Kat Conner Sterling even questioned if the ship existed beforehand or if she accidentally created it, indicating a significant difference in Maxnessa's popularity from before and after her tweet.

Fanon
Roxica is the main femslash ship of Security Breach, with them being band mates and the both of them being female Animatronics of their Freddy's group.

= SpringDad = 

SpringDad is the familyship between William Afton and Michael Afton.

Fanon
With William always finds ways to come back through his Springtrap persona and Help Wanted showed him using others to ensure his return, along with the fact that Elizabeth Afton's soul resides in Circus Baby and there being theories of the Crying Child's soul possibly possessing the Golden Freddy, it has led to the theory of Michael's spirit finding away to lack onto Glamrock Freddy; after another Fazbear establishment was build over the one both father and son died in. Glamrock Freddy saying that "I'm not me" before Springtrap shows up, along with one of the Security Breach endings having Freddy start a fire to burn down Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex helps to support this theory. With Michael dying in an attempt to ensure that his father's twisted soul remains in hell, so he wouldn't harm anyone else, it makes sense that he too would return to ensure it remains that way.

Those who believe that Michael survived the fire, however, assume that he has dedicated his life to fighting against his father. Each time Springtrap finds ways to return, Michael allies himself with those who have a history with Freddy's; and would also want to keep the source of its evil sealed away. Like he did with Henry.

= Toy Gang = 

Toy Gang is the friendship between Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, Mangle, Balloon Boy, JJ and the Puppet.

Fanon
Much like FNAF 1 Gang, the Toy Gang was portrayed as a friend group sometime after the second game was released. BB and JJ are often left out, due to fandom's dislike of them. The Puppet is also sometimes left out or treated as the equivalent of Golden Freddy, due to fans preferring to focus on the classic "Freddy/Bonnie/Chica/Foxy" line-up.

= Vanguard = 

Vanguard is the femslash ship between Vanny and Vanessa.

Fanon
Vanguard started to be shipped when the teaser images for the Security Breach characters were first released. Fans got a first look at the new antagonist Vanny and the then unnamed security guard, commonly dubbed “Security Girl.” As two upcoming female characters that seemed to have a major role, this gave femslash enthusiasts an appealing ship. Early promotions gave fans the impression that the Security Girl would be a protagonist and/or ally of Gregory while Vanny hunted him, making for an enemies to lovers dynamic between Vanguard. Vanny was portrayed as having a soft spot for the Security Girl, despite the two being enemies. Another popular headcanon was for the Security Girl to personally know Vanny's human identity while being unaware of her identity as Vanny. This would create interesting alternate secret scenarios, with some works having Vanny intentionally manipulate the Security Girl, and others having Vanny be unaware of her actions.

The merchandise teaser for Funko's "Vanessa & Vanny" statue was a major blow to the ship, as it confirmed that the Security Girl's name is Vanessa, which fans knew was Vanny's name. This was major proof that Vanny and the nightguard are indeed the same person.

Much of Vanguard's popularity had died out by the release of Security Breach, with the game pretty much confirming Vanessa and Vanny to be the same. Though there is some conflicting evidence that leads people to believe that is not the case, especially the Rooftop Ending. The most common assumption for the post-credits scene is that Vanessa is a ghost because her spirit has not been freed from the Princess Quest arcade games. But others theorize explanations for Vanessa and Vanny to be separate, such as one of them being a clone, or that Vanny is Patient 46. With this uncertainty, current Vanguard shippers feel that there is still room to ship the two. Others ignore canon entirely and continue to ship Vanessa with their own version of Vanny.
