Circus Baby the Clown is an animatronic in the novel series and serves as the secondary antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet. She is an alternate counterpart of Circus Baby from Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location and the mascot of Circus Baby's Pizza.
She is the fourth and final android replica of Henry's daughter, Charlotte Emily who was murdered by William Afton. During her creation she was corrupted by Henry's agony and later possessed by Afton's daughter, Eliazbeth. She then became determined to serve her father and gain his approval and love no matter the cost nor the atrocities.
Personality[]
Despite her sweet and playful personality as Charlotte, Circus Baby has a jealous and sardonic personality. When asked by Charlie about 'the fourth Charlotte', Circus Baby admits that she was made alive by Henry's fury, his rage poured into her while he sieved her metal endoskeleton together. When telling Charlie about Elizabeth, Circus Baby says, as Elizabeth; "Suddenly, her pain faded to the background, replaced with fascination, obsession." and that she "wanted so desperately to have been the one on that stage, but it was always her. All of his love went into her." Elizabeth was obsessed with Circus Baby, perhaps even jealous, and considering that Circus Baby houses Elizabeth's soul, it stands to reason that her obsession and jealousy passed on to Circus Baby. Other instances where Elizabeth voices her obsession and near jealousy would be when she admits that she "wanted to be (Circus Baby), The focus of (William's) attention, the center of his world."
Circus Baby when telling how Elizabeth dies calls herself, 'beautiful' and 'lovely'.
She tries to kill Charlotte's robotic counterpart due to jealously of the life that Charlotte had the opportunity to experience. Baby is also described as someone who cares deeply for her father due to Elizabeth's personality. She is also seen as a germaphobe, as she cleans her hands after she kills Aunt Jen or when she is removing organs from William.

Circus Baby, disguised as Charlotte, shows up to Jen’s house and brutally murders her, while saying "I love you too," "I really do."
It is revealed to Charlie by Baby, that she isn't human. Rather, she was the third of four planned robots made by her father Henry to mimic her growing up. There were four robots planned, each simulating a stage in life. However, Henry committed suicide before the fourth one was finished. That fourth unfinished robot became Baby and revealed to Charlie that all her memories of her with her father were just recordings made by a camera on a tripod. Baby was the scrap robot in the corner of Henry's workshop in some of Charlie's 'memories'.
During the final battle, Baby fights with John and Charlie, who then stabs herself and Elizabeth through the chest with the suicide robot's knife. In the epilogue, it is implied that, somehow, Charlie managed to take over her final body from Elizabeth and is now with John in a relationship.
