Considering it being abbreviated as the letter A, it’s possible that Vanny’s surname is “Afton”, and therefore she is somehow related to the Afton Family, and due to her young age and the general structure of the timeline, it’s possible she could be Afton’s niece or granddaughter.
Assuming all this is related, fans have drawn a few popular, though yet unproven, conclusions, including: Reluctant Follower’s name is Vanessa, with Vanny being a nickname for them. It is possible that Vanny is a portmanteau of “Vanessa” and “Bunny.” In Five Nights at Freddy’s AR: Special Delivery , a character called “Ness” was introduced.
Vanessa was referred to as Reluctant Follower on voices.com. On November 5th, 2019, the teaser on scottgames.com was updated to include a female silhouette with a rabbit-like ears similar to the mask. Opening the image in Notepad, the string “S h a d o w o f V a n n y” appears. It is currently unknown what Vanny’s link to Afton is.
Vanny is a protege of William Afton who will continue his killings after he’s gone. Vanny sent the materials to Silver Parasol Games to allow Glitchtrap to appear in the game and allow him to escape into someone else’s body, effectively reviving William Afton. This hinges on Glitchtrap truly being William Afton or some recreation of him.

In order to trigger the voice, the player must immediately pick up the Glitchtrap plush after pressing the Prize Counter button. It is also possible to throw the Glitchtrap plush across the hub area, making it reachable from the Prize Counter.

Despite Vanny initially being referred to as “Reluctant Follower”, meaning a person who unwillingly follows one’s commands, Vanny doesn’t seem to take commands reluctantly. This could mean that “Reluctant Follower” was the first stage of when Glitchtrap was corrupting Vanny.
Vanny seems to be very manipulative as she attempts to trick her target, Gregory, into falling into a trap by pretending to be nice and well-meaning. She seems to cower from her master Glitchtrap, as shown in scrapped dialogue she quivers in fear while talking to him. She has uncertainty from her voice when being confronted about her task implying she isn’t fully ready to kill victims. Additionally, her alias “reluctant follower” may mean she is not working with him willingly.
Vanny is a slim, tall woman wearing a white bunny costume. Her costume has stitching all over it, with a large pink tartan stitching on her left hip. The costume also has a right-tilted blue bow on the chest and its hands and feet have pink paw pads under them. Her bunny mask has a wide, creepy smile with small buck teeth, a pair of long whiskers, small eyebrows and big, glowing red eyes that appear to be spaced out.
Reluctant Follower is the player’s character in Help Wanted and the heard dialogue is the player speaking to someone. Vanny is sometimes thought to be Tape Girl . This is easily disproven due to Reluctant Follower and Tape Girl having different voice actresses.
What color is Vanny’s ear?
Vanny appears to be a snow white rabbit, her costume being stitched together. Her left hand as well as part of her left leg have pink stripes, while her right ear and lower down on her left leg are a light yellow-gray color. Most of her right leg, alongside the lower half of her right arm are a light blue color. Right below her neck is a blue bowtie. On her mask, she has a wide grin, alongside big red eyes.

Her appearance bear a physical resemblance to Elizabeth Afton, she has blonde hair, apple green eyes, and has glossy lips. She appears to be wearing a white- colored security guard suit, with darker accented shoulder pads. She also has a dark gray cap and pants. In the gameplay trailer for Security Breach, it is shown that she wears purple nail-polish. Her former co-worker Luis describes Vanessa as very beautiful and someone who can brighten up a room.
While Vanny ‘s exact role is not yet revealed, it is pretty likely that she is picking up where William left off, continuing his legacy and murdering more children. It is currently believed that she will be the main antagonist of Security Breach.
