So as I've stated before, I didn't believe in "Cassidy." It seemed like the fandom made her up after the Fourth Closet and I never understood how they got her name from the logbook. BUT, Scott confirmed one of the movie scripts was the "Cassidy script" so now that he acknowledged her once, turns out she does exist and Scott is just terrible at writing her...uhhh anyways....
I still believe in Andrew being Golden Freddy though, he has more evidence and relevance than her. HOWEVER, how does Cassidy fit into this? Well, let's start:
A HELPFUL SPIRIT
Some theories have gone around saying Cassidy helps the other MCI remember who they are, but the thing is, how can she do that? I mean, it's been made clear when kids possess suits, they forget things. Elizabeth forgot who she was with Baby, Jake and Andrew forgot some things with the Stitchwraith, etc. So if Cassidy is Golden Freddy, how tf does she remember? It's also been made clear when spirits are released, they remember again. (FNAF 3, the spirits attack Afton cause they know him now). So it seems like Cassidy just stuck around with the other MCI, and she's harmless.......however, I don't like that theory quite much. I do like that she helps others remember, what I don't like is her just being a random spirit. But it sure seems that way because Scott named the script the "Cassidy" script. Not "Golden Freddy" specifically, despite other screenplays saying "Puppet" and not "Charlie." Why single out Cassidy???
MAIN POINT
So, hear me out, what if GoldenDuo is true...but with Cassidy and Andrew and not CC? (More on CC later). So let me make one thing clear before continuing, Cassidy and Andrew were NOT, I repeat, NOT introduced in FNAF 1. Back then, Scott had no identity for them, so it wasn't even specifically a boy or a girl or looked any way. The only MCI set in stone are Susie and Fritz since most fans assumed Chica was a blonde girl and Foxy was a ginger, and then the fourth closet confirmed it, and then the games. Whereas Gabriel and Jeremy weren't named in the fourth closet, and so either one of them could've been the striped shirt boy mentioned, and then Cassidy was named in Fourth Closet as either Freddy or Bonnie, and then UCN showed Andrew by showing his face, pronouns, goals, personality, only thing missing was his name.
TL;DR Cassidy and Andrew were revealed in Fourth Closet/UCN, not FNAF 1. But with that out of the way, let's do Golden Duo.
WHY IT WORKS:
-There have been many debates on why Golden Freddy can't stand, one has been because he has no endoskeleton, but he clearly does have one. But could it be because he's possessed by two spirits, and it's hard to control it? I mean, Michael Brooks and Movie Kid can both stand up as Golden Freddy, could it be because it's only 1 person possessing it?
-Then neither would be useless. Unpopular opinion, but I think Cassidy and Andrew being just some random spirit makes them useless. It brings in the question "What was the point of Cassidy?" or "Why Andrew when we have Cassidy?"
-They are too similar to each other to be completely unrelated. I mean, both have black hair, both seem to be the most vengeful, and if Cassidy's connection to CC is true, he's basically like her Jake.
DYNAMIC:
I imagine Cassidy and Andrew are the oldest MCI, and I imagine them to be two sides of Golden Freddy. "Good" and "Bad." Cassidy is the "good" because she protects the other spirits and is friendly with them all and they all like her, and she's more reasonable and doesn't choose violence first. Andrew is the "bad" because he implies in FF he has a hard time making friends, so either the MCI don't like him, or he just didn't try befriending them, also quickly chooses violence as an answer.
FNAF 1:
So this may sound dumb but like, what if Golden Freddy doesn't show up much because he doesn't really feel the need to go and attack the guard. I mean, I'd imagine sharing a suit would get Cassidy and Andrew close to each other, so they just hangout. Yeah probably sounds dumb, but it's a nice headcanon. I mean, I don't see any other reason why he shows up only sometimes in FNAF 1 and then randomly in FNAF 2, what's the hold up?
FNAF 2:
So, the minigames are symbolic so they don't LITERALLY happen. So we can dismiss there being 5 as Scott didn't plan 6 back then. Also, William didn't just leave the bodies next to Foxy, and Marionette wasn't the one who stuffed them in the suits.
FNAF 3:
So for the mini games, I think the one we play as is Andrew because he's angry and wants to harm William, but fails. Now if you've read my other theories, I said I don't think Andrew went into his mind 40 years ago, but rather, did it after FNAF 6. In my opinion, I think Andrew wanted him dead just like all the others, but to taunt him after FNAF 6 cause he "always comes back", THEN he went into his mind and decided on a fate worse than death. But where is Cassidy in this minigame? Well, she's somewhere else depressed....half joke but basically this ties into Happiest Day. Cassidy, has been taking care of the other spirits, but in the end, she's just a kid, I'd imagine at this point she's just fed up and doesn't even care about Afton anymore, which is why she's not there with the others.
HAPPIEST DAY:
So one thing nobody ever mentions is the fact we give cake to 6 children in FNAF 3. Which was likely a mistake at the time but can be worked right now.
Cakes:
BB, Mangle, Toy Chica, FredBear, Shadow Bonnie and Charlie all give cake to a child. It's weird for the 5th kid to just get...two cakes. I think it makes more sense for the rest to get cakes first and then the 5th kid to get cake last.
(DISCLAIMER: Happiest Day is again symbolic as Mangle doesn't actually give cake to anyone for example). Also I believe Happiest Day is after FNAF 6.
But who's the receiver? Cassidy.
But anyway, let's start off with BB, he gives cake to Andrew but he refuses this. Andrew has bigger plans and doesn't have time to pass on like the others, so then Fritz gets cake, then Susie, then Gabriel, then Jeremy, and finally, Cassidy.
Here's the thing, Happiest Day is the ONE THING that stumped me. It felt odd to me that Andrew would have a happiest day and then claim he hasn't had friends in a long time. But with this theory, we can still support GoldenAndrew, while not making him the receiver.
So, Charlie gives cake to the other kids, and Cassidy and Andrew doesn't show up, but these 6 pass on.
FNAF 4:
Ok so I don't think the FredBear plush is a spirit, I'm pretty sure it's just William. But how do Cassidy and Andrew tie into FNAF 4 then? Well, if Cassidy and Andrew are in fact the oldest MCI, let's say, about 11-12, then they would be the same age as CC in 1983 when he dies, so it's possible CC knew both or one of them in 1983. There's not much evidence for this, so this can be a headcanon for now.
FNAF 6:
Now here, the MCI all possess Molten Freddy, and when the place is burned, their suit gets destroyed and before they all pass on, Cassidy gets her happiest day and Andrew leaves to go and trap Afton.
UCN:
So, is Cassidy here? Well....GoldenAndrew deniers will say that Golden Freddy being in UCN means Cassidy can't move on......but if Andrew isn't Golden Freddy, why is there this random cutscene? The only way that Cassidy theory can be true is if she/Golden Freddy have a connection to Andrew, that way it won't be random.
Fazbear Frights 5:
After Father Blythe takes William to the Fazbear Entertainment Distribution Center, his soul spreads everywhere, along with Andrew. The other spirits Andrew trapped with him are now gone.
