Physical Appearance
Sun
Sun is a jester-like animatronic with a stylized light-beige sun-shaped head, white eyes, and a widely-grinning expression. There is a noticeably darker crescent-shaped marking on Sun's face that his nose slightly overlaps, forming the illusion of a smiling moon, which is directly referencing Sun's counterpart, Moon. His head has spikes on its perimeter that resemble sun rays. He has a lanky body with long limbs and large, opposable five-fingered hands, colored in a gradient from beige to gray with gray fingertips. Sun is fit with a beige-amber shirt that corresponds to his facial colors, yellow pants with maroon stripes, and a faint maroon gradient that can be seen just above the fabric sash of his waist frills. Both his neck and waist frills are maroon with a yellow stripe. Sun also wears orange elf-like shoes with a star symbol on the outer part of the shoes, and a moon symbol on the inner part. He has maroon ribbons with bells wrapped around his wrists. The inner animatronic parts of Sun can be seen through uncovered sections of his arms, hands, shoulders, and back.
Moon
Moon, similar to his daytime counterpart, is a jester-themed animatronic, but with a head bearing the likeness of a grinning crescent moon rather than a bright sun. After transforming into Moon, the sun rays surrounding Sun's face are retracted into his head; the left half of his face turns black with the detailing on his teeth and eyes still visible; and the right side of his face, shaped like the crescent moon, turns white, giving the smiling moon illusion (stated in Sun's description) more contrast and prominence. His torso is painted silver and black, but the two buttons located on his chest remain in place. His arms are silver and gradient to blue towards his forearms, and his hands and fingertips are also colored blue. On his head, he wears a sleeping cap that is blue in color and patterned with bright yellow stars, and the end of the cap is decorated with a golden bell. He has blue and gold frills around his neck and wears puffy blue pants accented by yellow stars. Identical to Sun, Moon's waist frills remain maroon and gold, his shoes are still orange with moon and star symbols on them, and he maintains the same maroon ribbons and gold bells on his wrists. There is also a small latch on his back which connects to a hook, allowing him extra midair mobility.
Ruined Sun
Sun's ruined variant has most of Eclipse's features. The only difference being this is purely the Sun side of the Daycare Attendant. As such none of Moon's features remain. Including his red eye. His face also appears to be more yellow.
Ruined Moon
Ruined Moon is similar to Ruined Sun. The only difference being he has all of Moon's features instead of Sun's. His face is also more pale and white.
Eclipse
Upon getting rebooted by Cassie in the RUIN DLC, their body transforms into a combination of Sun and Moon, with features from both personalities present simultaneously. Sun's broken and cracked sunrays surround Moon's broken faceplate, their eyes glowing red and white, and Moon's dirty sleeping cap resides on their head. The right side of their face is broken off, showcasing the endoskeleton underneath along with moving teeth similar to the Mimic. Their hands are also mostly destroyed, with all of the finger casing gone revealing the endoskeleton underneath. There are also many holes, scratches, and other damages across their entire body. Their right pant is also completely torn off, only showing its endo parts that make up its structure.
Personality
Sun
As Sun, the Daycare Attendant is upbeat and energetic, similar to Funtime Freddy. He enjoys doing activities with children such as putting on puppet shows and drinking Fizzy Faz. When Gregory knocks down the cans as a way to distract him, Sun panics quickly and rushes to clean them up. He's also very serious about keeping the lights on as a way to prevent himself from transforming into Moon. This could be due to Sun being concerned for Gregory, or it could be him showing fear of his alternate side and not wanting to transform. However, once Gregory has turned on all five generators and reaches the Daycare's exit to push the button, Sun becomes angry and carries Gregory out of the play area then "alerting" the others to Gregory's location, as punishment for not keeping the lights on. This, along with his propensity for cleaning, shows Sun cares strongly about following the rules. Contrary to this, the Daycare Attendant's room is messy and contains cobwebs, implying Sun does not clean his own room. It's likely that Sun's obsession with cleaning only applies to the Daycare, for health and safety reasons.
In the RUIN DLC, when Cassie enters the Daycare, she first gets ambushed by Moon until she shines the flashlight on him, causing Sun to briefly fight his way into control of his body and beg for Cassie to free him from the "nap" Moon placed him in. As he struggles, Sun begs for Cassie to restore the lights of the Daycare by finding and turning on the generators that lie scattered around the area, and then rebooting them using the Faz-Wrench. While she does so, Sun shakily sings a sad song seemingly to himself, indicating that Moon's treatment of him has rattled him significantly. This can only be heard while wearing the Security Mask.
Moon
As Moon, the Daycare Attendant is a malevolent and aggressive enemy who constantly chases Gregory once the lights are turned off, and attempts to punish him for staying up "past his bedtime". He still has a great distaste for messes and feels responsible for cleaning them like his daytime counterpart does, but to a more demented degree. This shows how strict both Sun and Moon are with upholding rules. However, in the later hours, Moon will not actively chase and attack, but will stalk the player, dancing and performing acrobatic tricks until the player lingers too closely to him or the power is not restored at the time limit. This implies that he enjoys taunting and psychologically abusing his victims before attacking them.
In the RUIN DLC, following the place being destroyed, it is revealed that Moon has more or less become the robot's dominant personality and placed Sun into a "nap" of sorts, leading to the two personalities fighting over the body with Moon mercilessly heckling and ordering Sun to stand down.
Eclipse
As Eclipse, the Daycare Attendant is rather gentle, whimsical, and calm, acting as a combination or even a balance between Moon's collectiveness and Sun's cheerful demeanor. Upon getting rebooted, they tell Cassie that they need to "clean up before they can open in the morning", meaning that their code still thinks that the Mega Pizzaplex is open and further stating that they are more calm about cleaning compared to Sun and Moon.
Functionality
Both forms of the Daycare Attendant are capable of extreme flexibility, allowing for impressive feats of acrobatics.
In the Moon form, the flexibility and mobility of the Daycare Attendant is shown to be more unnatural, where he can twist and bend his body like a contortionist and perform some improbable acts, like scaling on non-gravity surfaces such as walls and ceilings without falling off. Although his appearance is fragile, he possesses a deceptive amount of strength and durability, as he could easily subdue Glamrock Freddy (Normal and Upgraded) without any damage. He has also presumably ripped apart many S.T.A.F.F. Bots and Glamrock Endos, consequently leaving some of their remains in his room. His ocular system seems to be more special than the other animatronics, as Moon is immune to both the laser from Fazerblaster and the flash from the Faz Cam.
Beside physical abilities as discussed above, Moon seems to have some tracking ability via detecting the signal emit from certain objects, such as Faz-Watch and Security Mask, as seen with Gregory and Cassie in the game. Additionally, the Daycare Attendant as a whole can now fly/glide around the space limitlessly, marking a more advanced pace for his mentioned movement capabilities.
In the RUIN DLC, the Daycare Attendant is stuck as Sun and Moon simultaneously as Eclipse. It is currently unknown how, but it could possibly be from the lights not being turned on in a while since the Pizzaplex was abandoned. Though it should be noted that while Cassie is trying to find the generators, Sun and Moon are separated from the Security Mask. Moon is in control of the Daycare Attendant when the mask is not being used, while Sun is in control when the mask is being used.
