Kandy was an innitiative of re establishing the Freddy Fazbear franchise as a friendly, non threatening company. Their original endoskeleton and initial programming were created alongside the rebranded ‘toy' animatronics. Originally created to be a cat, Kandy was created with improvised AI; They were to watch, learn and adapt actions, vocals, and behaviorisms. But work on their external design was never finished. Endoskeleton and basic concepts were complete, but she was never activated or finished. She was left in the storage room, where she learned a few things passively, and eventually moved to a storage compartment. 

In modern days she was sold in an auction as the bills for said storage compartment had not been payed in years, but was quickly resold by the owner due to ‘staring at him' when he walked by. An individual in the Fazbear corproration quickly purchased the animatronic for a side business that was a part of the remodeling of the franchise. A candy store with animatronic entertainment. Soft colourful squishable rubber plates were finalized for Kandy's design, camera's built into the irises for security, some inner structures replaced and improved, including all new 360° joints which were only partially an improvement. The entire operation was nearly canceled when Kandy was unable to properly move at the start. But, as AI does, it learned. How to move, activate its voice box, the whole shebang. Kandy was rebranded to be a bouncy, animated character, at the cost of movement. They can move slowly and awkwardly but for the most part simply moves and bends in one place. Reports show that they are most active at night however, and often times moves to stare out the large front windows.

For a few years the candy business went fine, kids loved to dance and sing with Kandy, and pull at their rubber parts(despite such actions being strictly prohibited). Being directly in contact with kids, Kandy wound up with many broken pieces over the years. They were replaced with spare parts, spray painted to be their well known colours. Eventually entire features changed, such as the entire mouth, ears, tail, and stomach plates. This has resulted in a partially plastic, rubber, fur, and metal animatronic. The rubber hands that were one of the primary selling points stayed, avoiding pinching joints and scary appearance changed and left with wholistic parts. But this caused a few issues. Despite it being mostly against the rules to touch and pull at Kandy, kids simply do not listen. And under the rubber is still metal. A broken finger here, a broken wrist there. Kids simply didn't learn. Passing safety nets and ribbons seemed to be their primary goal.

But, unknown to anyone, Kandy in fact learned. There was the improvised AI everyone saw, more humanlike reactions, less creepy movements (the 360° joints sometimes grew to be more of a horror movie esque mistake.) and improved speech(albeit choppy). But, on the day of THE incident, their darker intelligence arose. A teen, who broke in at night to steal the ATM and cash register, went missing. The workers, however knew exactly where they went. Right into Kandy's body. Kandy had removed their head and stomach plates to stuff the teen inside. The teen was a nobody, so a pressure washer and deleted footage later and it was all forgotten. The teen was another cold case of missing kids, and the candy shop was ever friendly and bright. Except for Kandy, the ever present and learning AI and the teen’s spirit caged within them.
