Logbook Chica - what was the point? [Logbook] (P&P2)



"Logbook Chica" from the Survival Logbook is yet a mistery: why was she there? Was it a teaser for a new game? We had Help Wanted and despite some resemblance it doesn't look likely.

There is a really interesting fact about this image though, about the Endoskeleton of Logbook Chica.
It's actually a Fnaf 2 Withered Endoskeleton and not a Fnaf 1 Standard Endoskeleton... What could that mean?



So Logbook Chica has a Fnaf2 endoskeleton and a Fnaf1 costume. Why? It makes no sense whatsoever from a timeline perspective: fnaf1 endoskeletons and fnaf1 costume designs should come at the same time and at a later date than the Fnaf2 endos.

Unless... the original design of Chica, the one before the Withered version, was in fact the same as the '93 Chica: in other words, the design of the costume of Fnaf1 Chica was directly copied from the design of the original Chica.
Fnaf2 Chica would then be a second iteration of Chica, too scary to actually be used in a pizzeria.



RECONSTRUCTION OF WHAT HAPPENED

The "original" Chica was stuffed with a kid, it rot, it got scrapped
(Freddy's shut down). This Chica has the '93 look and a fnaf2 endoskeleton. (Notice the missing hands.)
Freddy's tries to reopen. Chica needs to be rebuilt, the design starts changing, it is even retrofitted with newer technology, but well Chica looks scary as hell. So they toss the idea and went for a more kid-friendly option: Toy Chica.



From Phone guy himself:

The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly.
We just use them for parts now.


Same old story, Freddy's closes, then reopens, the old animatronics are rebuilt with new endoskeletons. To attract the older costumers, the classic look is finally brought back. With a brand new endoskeleton and the classic design we all love, Fnaf1 Chica takes the stage.

TLDR
Logbook Chica is meant to hint at the fact that the original Chica -before the withered version- had the Fnaf1 look, not an "unwithered" one. This was then changed into the Withered version for the "Fnaf2" reopening (and then changed back for the Fnaf1 reopening).

Likelihood meter: 10%
Impact: low

Implications:
The theory allows the HW minigames to be more canon: a cool theory I saw lately is that in the repair sections of HW we fix the animatronics because they broke after being stuffed by a dead children. There was however a (minor) issue with this idea: we should have repaired the "unwithereds" not the classics. The above theory however fixes this smoothly.

The theory allows the "showtime" shown in Fnaf1 to date back to the first Freddy's, when the MCI happened. This is then the original showtime of Freddy's. You "want" that to happen because the wall does not match the Fnaf1 location at all.
