— The Player |
The Player is the main protagonist of the games named Granny and Granny: Chapter Two. They are the victim of Granny who kidnapped them into her own house and forced them to play a deadly game, wherein they have five days to find a way out of the old, dirty house by solving puzzles and finding a way to escape by one of the 3 escape routes of both Granny and Granny: Chapter Two. He is considered as a representation of the real-life player.
Identity
Based on the icon at the top left of the screen, it can be inferred that the Player is male and he might be probably a teenager or a young adult circa 20s and may not have a girlfriend yet and may be still single. He has shaggy hair and is wearing a T-shirt. The Player is also wearing either baggy jeans or sweatpants. It is unknown what type of footwear they are wearing, but it seems to be either boots or sneakers.
If you look closely at one of his arms, the Player is wearing a watch.
Injuries
On the 2nd day, the Player will start limping around, which does not affect speed, but can be slightly disorienting but it is not as severe as 3rd day limp.
On the 3rd day, the Player's limp will become much more severe, making it difficult to pick up objects or interact with the environment while on the run. This still does not affect your top speed, however, the Player may now also have nausea on this day.
On the 4th day, the Player's vision will become permanently bloody. The Starting Bed will now also be covered in a large stain of blood.
On the 5th and 6th days, the Player will not accumulate any more injuries and if they still got knocked out by Granny on this day, they will get a Game Over where Granny will kill the Player.
Quotes
The Player has various quotes when they try to interact with something, if they can't they will say something like "I need a/an X.", this is used so the Player has a clue as to how to solve a puzzle, what items to use, and what's needed for escape. As of Version 1.8.1, there are 46 quotes altogether:

Trivia
- According to DVloper, the Player doesn't have an identity, since the person is the ONE playing the Player and he technically might just be a floating, moving camera.
- Since Version 1.7.9.3, the Player will start moving nodding his head up and down while staying still. This is most likely them breathing.
- In the PC version, there is an exclusive opening cutscene reveals that while the Player wandering about the forest, he suddenly got hit in the head and captured by Granny before starting the game. This also explains why the Player feels dizzy after waking up in the first day.
- The Player is good at using weapons, as they have precision when aiming with the Crossbow and Shotgun.
- Prior to Version 1.7.9.3, the player was laying properly when hit by Granny. As of Version 1.7.9.3, the player will ragdoll and fall realistically when hit.
- It can be seen that the player has an advanced knowledge of basic techno mechanics, since he is capable of repairing a car with the few elements at hand and, even so, making it start.
- The Player does not have a physical game model.
- This is shown why there's no driver in the Car during the Car Escape Ending scene.
- More proof is shown, on the PC version, if the Player walks in front of the Flashlight before picking it up, his shadow will not be shown on the wall. Not only this, but if he picks up the Vase, its shadow will completely disappear.
- The Player from Granny 3 is probably canonically not the same as the previous player from Granny 1 and Granny: Chapter Two since the icon of the Player from Granny and Granny: Chapter Two is totally different from the one Granny 3.
- However, the push hand icon of the Player when he interacts with doors, items, and etc. are all same in all Granny trilogy series games.
- It is very possible that the Player is the same Player as in Slendrina: The Forest and Slendrina X. This might be the Player stumbling upon Granny's house after the castle's disgrace from Slendrina X.
- The Player can bare pain without screaming, as no scream can be heard from the player when stepping on a Bear Trap.
