Hi-ho, kiddos! Are you all havin' a star-spangled All-American day?

Meet Frieda Freedom, Pizzeria Circus's 5th animatronic, the last addition to the cast, and the most ill-fated mascot. She's your standard corny patriotic mascot character, representing the simplest and sweetest packaging of classroom-friendly Americana. There's a tender earnestness to her enthusiasm, and a genuine ignorance of the grittier realities of a militaristic global superpower. If you ask Frieda what America is, she'll give you an apple pie with a birthday candle in one wing, and grip a sparkler in the other, and with a tear in her eye, tell you it's the dream of every boy and girl to grow up happy and free. And she'll mean it.

Speaking of sparklers, it was someone's genius idea to equip this animatronic with actual pyrotechnics - spinners and sparklers to accompany her debut performance at the restaurant.

It didn't end well. In fact, it ended in flames. Frieda shorted out and halfway melted, to the horror of all the children and parents gathered that Forth of July. It's a wonder the whole restaurant didn't burn down, but the sprinklers kicked in and the fire department arrived swiftly. Frieda herself still......... """"works"""" but she is heavily damaged, and spends most of her time relegated to a closet. They haven't had the budget to fix her back up again.

She is Valerie's best friend in the world.
