Charlotte "Charlie" Emily is the main protagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's novel series. In 1983, her parents divorced after losing one of their children. Some years later, she lost her father, Henry Emily, to suicide, causing her to move in with her Aunt Jen. The traumatic experience of her childhood causes her to become increasingly determined to solve the mysteries shrouding her haunted past. In The Fourth Closet, it's ultimately revealed that she was the one murdered by William Afton instead of her brother Sammy, as she first believed. She is one of the four animatronic dolls built by Henry to recreate his late daughter after she was murdered.
