At the top of this hierarchy, there’s Chica, Monty and Freddy. Freddy is below the other two mostly because of how he treats the other animatronics (an important thing that has a lot of layers in Chica’s case but not as relevant here), and he would be lower if he wasn’t so damn popular and such a big money maker for the company. Next you have Sunny and Moon. They’re pretty high up, and are pretty popular, but she sees less of their merch around and Fazbear Ent does offers on daycare passes fairly often so she assumes they aren’t massive money makers. They’re the best with large groups of children and the youngest kids at that, so yeah they get an almost top spot, being just above Freddy, but not quite on the same level as those three. Foxy comes after them. He’s highly popular and makes a lot of money, but she virtually never sees Foxy fans in Mazercise and has made assumptions based on that. Remember, her hierarchy is based on what she knows, and not necessarily what’s true. Bonnie is up there with Foxy but only because he’s shifted down the ranks slowly over time. He really annoys Chica for a long time and I’ll get to that in a second but it’s not helping his place in all of this. DJ Music Man comes this far down because while she’ll admit he looks cool as fuck, this guy doesn’t even have merch. If he’s got no merch at all he can’t possibly be that popular and he can’t possibly be of any great value to their company overlords. Unfortunately for Roxy, she’s almost at the bottom of the list. She’s in a similar boat to DJ in that she just straight up lacks one of the things Chica judges this all on. Her attraction isn’t open to the public until three years after Security Breach would happen, she’s a wandering animatronic with a small – yet dedicated – fanbase and doesn’t usually work with huge crowds. So yeah she’s not doing great across the board. The Minis aren’t on the board at all. Chica doesn’t even know what the look like until she catches them fucking around with Roxy or DJ.

Flower the Cupcake and Barney the Pirate Wood Duck are not on this hierarchy. In Chica’s eyes, Flower is her chick and Barney is Foxy’s. Children aren’t held to the same standards here. The Minis get moved into this category eventually, if not associated with Roxy and lumped in with her value. Humans like Vanessa, are also held in their own hierarchy, that basically just has the managers at the top and Vanessa’s place shifting depending on how much she’s getting in Chica’s way.

Now, chickens are pretty brutal. They like to make sure no one starts shooting above their station and everyone knows their place. This is why at first, Bonnie pisses her off so much. He moves between all the friend groups in the plex really easily with no regard to this hierarchy, sometimes even doing it just to spite her and yeah it pisses her off sometimes. But basically, this whole thing leads to some… issues, even without bringing in her character personality that clashes with all of this. Those at the top of the hierarchy are considered her friends. She makes a real effort with these people and this is the group her character personality and parts of her true personality can really be seen. More on that later. The bottom of the hierarchy is where you have the problems. She doesn’t treat anyone ‘below’ her as anything but a pain in the ass. The lower the animatronics are beneath her, the worse this gets. She gets bitchy, mean, and if pushed, will not hesitate to throw down. It’s less than ideal to say the least, and causes all sorts of major problems for her and for everyone else for years, many of which she doesn’t even notice.

Now, something that fuels this aggression? Her regular character personality that was programmed alongside her animal one. She’s kind, supportive, caring, bubbly and overwhelmingly friendly, up for anything and always taking an interest in what people are up to. She’s supposed to be a great friend and the kind of person you can go to for help with anything and everything. You can talk you troubles away with her and she’ll love chatting with you…

Which is in direct contrast to how she feels she should be acting towards a huge group of people and half the animatronics in the Plex. It’s confusing when she wants to make friends but at the same time wants to beat someone down at the same time. She finds all of this incredibly frustrating to get her head around. How can she be friendly to everyone when only some of these people are even worth her time?! And yet she still wants to be there, and wants to laugh and play with these people, but given the state of well… everything, she most often sides with the chicken hierarchy than the friendly character. She takes this frustration out on those at the bottom of the pecking order whenever they start to step out of line and that doesn’t sit well with pretty much anyone she’s friends with.

It takes three years after her introduction for Chica to start on the path to being a better person but damn are those first three years rough. Roxy is pretty lucky she shows up several years into Chica working on herself but with Roxy’s mess of problems, Chica can sometimes really struggle for a while to continue to be that better person. She gets there though and eventually the two of them, along with the Minis, DJ and everyone else have a real friendship going.
