Quick Answers

What is the significance of JJ's appearance in Five Nights at Freddy's 2? toggle section
JJ, also referred to as Balloon Girl, makes her debut in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 as an easter egg. She's a toy animatronic and a variant of BB. JJ's behavior in the game involves randomly materializing and vanishing, akin to RWQFSFASXC and Shadow Freddy, but she poses no threat to the player. In subsequent games like Ultimate Custom Night, she evolves into a selectable antagonist, and in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2, she is represented as a statue in Capt. Foxy's Log Ride level.

What is the mystery behind JJ's whereabouts in the Five Nights at Freddy's series? toggle section
In the Five Nights at Freddy's series, JJ, also known as Balloon Girl, is a character shrouded in mystery. She sporadically appears under the right side of the desk in the Office in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Her absence from the pizzeria and the Game Area, unlike Balloon Boy, has led to speculation that she might be a hallucination or a creation born out of agony. Her appearance in the Gravity Vortex minigame of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator hints at the possibility of her being a real animatronic from Fazbear Entertainment, Inc.

Physical Appearance[]

While JJ's overall appearance is similar to that of her ordinary counterpart BB, she has blue cheeks and magenta eyes, a purple nose and eyelids, and the red stripes on her propeller beanie are instead bluish-purple as well as the button from on top being blue, with blue propellers and a yellowish-orange button. Her shirt also has the same pattern as her propeller beanie cap, with purple and blue stripes.[2]

In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, her rosy cheeks and beanie button are magenta instead of blue, and her beanie button does not have a propeller.

Personality[]

Due to her minor role, not much is known about JJ's personality. In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, JJ's behavior of randomly appearing and disappearing is similar to that of RWQFSFASXC and Shadow Freddy, remaining quiet and apathetic in her brief presence. JJ makes no attempt to harm or attack the player in any way, merely staring at them. However, in Ultimate Custom Night, she is shown to share the same personality traits as Balloon Boy.

Functionality[]

As a toy animatronic, JJ is implemented with an advanced mobility and facial recognition system, supposedly walking freely during the day. She is linked to a criminal database, in order to protect children from a possible predator a mile away.[3]

History[]

Five Nights at Freddy's 2[]

Balloon Boy Under Desk

JJ found under the desk within the Office, ingame.

Occasionally, the player may encounter JJ hiding under the right side of the desk in the Office while looking directly at them. JJ does not appear to affect the player, neither attacking or jumpscaring them. She seems to simply disappear if the player checks the Camera Monitor.

Ultimate Custom Night[]

She will try to sneak in through the side vent. Close the side vent and wait until you hear a thud indicating she is gone. If JJ slips in, she will disable door controls temporally.
Menu description, Ultimate Custom Night

JJ finally returned in Ultimate Custom Night as one of the many selectable characters.

Similar to BB, she will attempt to sneak in through the right side vent. Failure to close in time will result in JJ slipping in the Office then hide under the desk, disabling the player's door controls for a short limited of time, lasting approximately 10 seconds before vanishing away.

The challenges in which JJ is present are as follows:

  • Pay Attention 1
  • Pay Attention 2
  • Ladies Night 1
  • Ladies Night 2
  • Ladies Night 3
  • Springtrapped
  • Chaos 3

Trivia[]

General[]

  • While her name is not mentioned in the second game, JJ's name is found within the game's MFA when using Clickteam Fusion 2.5 engine, where her graphic is attached to an object with her name.
  • In The Ultimate Guide, JJ is named "Balloon Girl" (with a question mark next to it). This is a reference to the nickname of the fans who gave JJ before her canonical name was discovered.
  • Although JJ only appears in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and Ultimate Custom Night in the canonical series, her Adventure version appears in Five Nights at Freddy Pizzeria Simulator in the Gravity Vortex minigame.
    • JJ.

      A statue depicting JJ appears in the Capt. Foxy's Log Ride level in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2.

Ultimate Custom Night[]

General[]

  • JJ's head appears in the Ultimate Custom Night demo troll game (a reskin of Doofas the Dinosaur) as one of the "reskinned" enemies on Level 8.
  • From the Character Guide announcement on the game's Steam page, Scott describes the mechanics for JJ with his own words:

She will also try to sneak in through the side vent. Close the side vent and wait until you hear a thud indicating she is gone. If JJ slips in, she will disable all door controls until she leaves.[4]

  • JJ's laugh when hiding under the desk is reused from BB's.
  • Clearly seen in the game files, the texture of JJ when encountered in the right side vent has no arms, revealing a gray cylinder that seems to act like her "endoskeleton".
  • The sound JJ makes when vanishing away from the Office is a stock cartoon sound of a popping bubble used for animated television shows, like the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Naughty Nautical Neighbors" for instance.
  • Her icon in the mobile port of Ultimate Custom Night is stretched and is clipping out of the box.

Bugs[]

  • When BB spawns back to the right air vent while JJ is still there with the vent door opened, a bug causes her to despawn, decreasing her chances of entering the Office.
