The Minireena are a group of small animatronic ballerina figures that debuted in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, and are often seen alongside Ballora. They return as an easteregg in FNaF VR: Help Wanted, and later as minor antagonists in FNaF AR: Special Delivery and FNaF: Help Wanted 2.
Appearance[]
The Minireenas are miniature mannequin-esque animatronic ballerinas with simplistic designs. They have small heads and very slender limbs. The masks on their heads are pure white and are somewhat reminiscent of the Puppet's. Their bodies are a beige color, and they wear white tutus.
Gameplay[]
FNaF VR: Help Wanted[]
While Minireena does not act as an antagonist in any form, she does make a minor appearance in the form of an easter egg. In the Plushtrap or Nightmare Balloon Boy Dark Room levels, there is a chance that Minireena will appear standing by the doorway. Similar to most easter eggs, she doesn't have any gameplay effect.
FNaF AR: Special Delivery[]

In Special Delivery, Minireena appears as a minor antagonist, and an extension to Ballora's mechanic. During an encounter with Ballora, the Minireenas will begin to climb up the player's screen and block their view. The player can get rid of them by shaking the screen. This causes them to fall in the floor, allowing the player to pick them up.
To defeat Ballora, the player must wait until she eventually charges towards the player after they've picked up 3 Minireenas. All the player must do is simply look at Ballora when she uncloaks, and she will be defeated, shocking herself.
FNaF: Help Wanted 2[]
Minireena serves as a distraction in the Ballora Gallery level. Periodically, they will laugh and begin twirling towards the player, luring Ballora towards them. They must be physically thrown away in order to stop their noise.
They also appear in the Office: Funtime Gang, where they will cover the door buttons while the player is not looking. Similar to their behavior in Ballora Gallery, they must be thrown off of the buttons in order to access the doors again.
Skins[]
The Minireena have only one skin in FNaF AR: Special Delivery, being Clockwork Minireena, who accompanies Clockwork Ballora.
Trivia[]
- When another animatronic is equipped with Ballora's CPU, they will share the same mechanic as her as normal, however the Minireenas that need to be picked up are replaced by the parts that normally appear for Mangle.
- This may have been done to fit with other animatronics.
- Despite this change, the Minireenas still climb up the player's screen as normal.
- The Minireenas are the only characters in the game who do not appear outside of encounters.
- Because of this, she also never appears as damaged.
- Similarly, if Ballora is equipped with Mangle's CPU, the parts will be replaced by the Minireenas.
- The Minireenas oddly did not gain a skin to go along with Arctic Ballora, despite gaining one alongside Clockwork Ballora.
- Interestingly, Arctic Ballora received a unique song alongside her encounters, while Clockwork Ballora did not.
