Winona and Henry

Winona and Henry are estranged childhood friends that meet up again as adults in the late 70s, and combine their individual skillsets to open Fredbears Family Diner in 1980.

Winona comes from an affluent British family. She was an only child, and her family held her to extreme standards. As a result of this, Winona is a neurotic perfectionist, and it bleeds into every aspect of her life and personality. Although she herself isn't devoutly religious, her parents were, so she's got a lot of religious baggage (partially because she's a DEEPLY closeted lesbian). She's very good with robotics, but as a talented cartoonist, she primarily focuses on creating the designs for the characters.

Although Winona cares a lot about her public appearance, she is completely incapable of dialing back her eccentric personality. Her striking two-toned wardrobe and unabashed love for cartoons and rabbits makes her stand out amongst any crowd. Extremely well put together and charismatic, but always mildly offputting to other adults for a reason they can't place. Her wit and charm carries her through most situations, but there is always the lingering sense that something unpleasant lurks below the surface.

Henry came from an American working class family. She grew up with 5 sisters, and was raised primarily by her father after their mother passed away. Henry was always interested in engineering and working with her hands. When she was a child, she was picked on for her tomboyish nature, and her peers took to calling her Henry. As an adult and a butch lesbian, she embraces the nickname. Henry focuses on the building of the animatronics, leaving most of the designing and business aspects of Fredbears in Winona's hands.

Henry is an honest and pleasant person, but she's a bit withdrawn. She doesn't do well in social situations. She's incredibly intelligent, and spends most of her time tinkering with whatever she can get her hands on... if she isn't working, that is. Most people have a good impression of her despite her awkwardness.

The two of them struggled to establish themselves as business women in the misogynistic culture of the 1980s, but their respective brilliance propelled them towards inevitable success.

The Families

By the time Fredbears opens in 1980, Winona is already on her second marriage. Michelle and Evan are her children from the previous marriage. Elizabeth, who is only 2 at the time, is from her most recent marriage. Winona's perfectionist tendencies extend to her parenting style. She views her family as a symbol of her achievements, a sign that she's doing "what she's supposed to", a status symbol. She loves her children, but is emotionally unavailable and puts a lot of pressure on them. The appearance that they are a perfect family is ultimately more important to her than whether or not they actually are. Michelle and Winona butt heads frequently as Michelle constantly acts out and defies her mother's wishes. Winona's dynamic with her husbands can best be described as "ships passing in the night". Winona never even took either of their last names, insisting on keeping her maiden name, Afton.

Henry never married. Her daughter, Charlotte, is actually her niece that she adopted. After Henry's sister passed away in an accident, Henry stepped up to take care of her daughter. Charlotte was very young when the accident happened, so life with Henry is basically all she's ever known. Although Henry is a workaholic, her and Charlotte have a mostly good relationship. She supports Charlotte's somewhat morbid interests, and encourages her to be herself despite the bullying she faces from her peers. Charlotte considers the Aftons her second family, although she is a bit intimidated by Winona.
