Mari, how bold!

Among the FNAF fandom, I’ve been seeing a lot of people theorize that the player character, Eggs Benedict, is actually William Afton, and, by extension, the Purple Guy, mostly because of a quote during the Fake Ending that most likely refers to Afton’s daughter:
“Isn’t this why you came? To be with her again?”
However, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence suggesting that the player character is NOT William Afton, nor is he the Purple Guy, which I will list here. Note that I will be assuming that the Mr. Afton mentioned in the games is the Purple Guy due info from the technically noncanonical novel, however, most of this theory still stands up even if they are different people.
1. Baby Doesn’t Recognize You
On Night 2, after the power goes out, the very first thing that Baby says to the player is: “I don’t recognize you.” If the player really was Afton, wouldn’t Baby have recognized him? Additionally, no other character seems to show signs of recognition either.
2. Eggs Benedict Isn’t Qualified to Work with the Animatronics
On Night 3, HandUnit tells you that you “may or may not be skilled enough” to do maintenance on the animatronics, and it’s obvious that Eggs Benedict doesn’t know how to work with the animatronics until given instructions. William Afton would have known how to work with the animatronics by heart, as he’s the one who designed them.
3. The Player Can Die to the Animatronics
This one may not make sense at first, but just hear me out. Obviously, if an animatronic catches you, you die. How is this proof that you aren’t Afton or Purple Guy? Well, what does the Purple Guy do every time he encounters an animatronic? Does he die? No. He dismantles them. And if Afton isn’t actually Purple Guy, then wouldn’t he still have a way to disable the animatronics that he created?
4. Purple Guy Dies When Crushed by the Spring Bonnie Suit
Again, this may not seem like proof at first, but it’ll make sense once you hear it. This one is less about you not being Afton and more about Purple Guy not having been scooped out and replaced with Ennard. It’s quite simple, really. Besides the fact that Purple Guy bleeds a lot when crushed by his suit, which he wouldn’t have been able to do if he had been scooped out, there’s also the fact that if Ennard had been inside him, he wouldn’t have been crushed. Ennard is an endoskeleton, and endoskeletons are wearing suits like that all the time. They are quite literally designed to wear the suit without getting crushed. And if Purple Guy isn’t actually Ennard, it means that he’s not the player either, as Eggs gets replaced by Ennard in the Real Ending.
5. Afton Wouldn’t Have Needed to Work as a Technician
Think about it. If Afton really wanted to see his daughter again, would he really need to take a risky, low-paying job at the place that he owns to see the animatronics that he created? I don’t think so.
So Then What Is with That Quote?
It is interesting to note that Ennard believes you came to see Afton’s daughter again. Perhaps Eggs really did want to be with her like Ennard says. However, that doesn’t necessarily make you Mr. Afton. I doubt that he’s the only person who would care about the girl. Maybe you’re a sibling, or a friend. You don’t have to be her dad to want to see her again. Or perhaps Ennard only believes that you’re Afton because only Afton would’ve had access to the Private Room. Either way, it really doesn’t prove that you are playing as Afton, only that you have some connection to Afton’s daughter.
If you have any criticisms of this theory, or if there’s anything that I missed, feel free to tell me.
Several trans, non-binary, bigender, and androgynous people posed for another cover, which will be on newsstands on December 27. The issue will also be published online on Monday, December 19. Perhaps the best part is the life-affirming quote from Avery that the magazine put on its cover with her portrait.
