#Generic Raposa Characters

[dtlfacts]

The Celebration scene in Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is unique in that it's the only scene in the game that uses the Generic Elder Raposa sprites in the sequel, seen on the right side of these screenshots.

However, another quirk of this cutscene is the duplicated Yvonne, seen in the first image at the top of the screen, and at the bottom of the screen in the second. This "Yvonne 2" doesn't appear in Watersong's overworld, nor are they named in the cutscene itself.

A third oddity of this cutscene is the inclusion of both Leopold and Ferdinand, two Raposa that share a sprite. This is the only cutscene where two, named Raposa with the same sprite appear together, meaning that it is unknown which is dancing with Yvonne and which is dancing with Veronique.

Due to the nature of how the game's files are stored, it is currently unknown how the game refers to the Elders, the Duplicate Yvonne, and Ferdinand and Leopold, or if they have special identifiers at all.

i need to so badly know your opinions/thoughts on wilfre and sock

Unsure if this is the same dtl anon as before, but either way HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR BEING CURIOUS!!!!! I would be more than happy to share! Because the phrasing of this ask was pretty vague, I winded up writing a multiple page essay in an attempt to cover everything wilfre/sock related. So it's all under a read more. That being said, if I've not covered something you were specifically curious about, let me know. I have a million more thoughts on the two (or the whole game!) I'd be happy to share. Here's an additional drawing I made to accompany everything :^]

For those unfamiliar with the drawn to life series, please be warned MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW!!!!

So, to get into it! I figured I would start with the very basics: wilfre, sock, and the rest of his forms. A lot of folks have different interpretations on the intricacies between wilfre and his disguises! I'm a believer in the fact that they *are* all the same person (in contrast to how some people believe them to be disguises created from stolen appearances/stolen bodies)... but different facets of this same person. Essentially, normal raposa wilfre was a wholly fleshed out being, and every other form he takes exaggerates various traits of his. Flanderization, I guess, but only to a certain degree. Shadow wilfre is an elevation of his more sadistic tendencies, sock is an elevation of his cowardice, and salem is an elevation of his mystery/flair for the dramatic. Granted this is a fairly barebones description of the way his forms worm since I do believe there to be more to these characters and their behaviors, but what I've said already gets my point across well enough for a generalized "what are your thoughts" type of question. Though I will say, sock's spotlight on cowardice is especially interesting to me considering- at least from what I've seen- wilfre's character being largely dictated by his own fear is not something focused on often by fans; it's much more common for you to see him just being cool and evil. We'll come back to this.

Another thing that comes from my belief of them all being the same person is that wilfre absolutely *did* design his separate forms with conscious intent (with an exception of shadow wilfre, which was likely only natural corruption of his form following his exposure to shadow). It speaks so heavily for who he is as a creative!! He likes being a little edgy and snobby- hence salem's design- and he also doesn't think too far ahead sometimes- hence sock's name, which absolutely had to be something he thought of on the spot! So many hints at who he is as an individual outside of "the antagonist" are hidden away in small details like that.

Now, with that out of the way, back to the topic of wilfre's fear!

In the first game, his sights are not set nearly as high as they are in the sequel. He chooses to spread shadow over the whole world as an effort to fix what the creator ruined; he WILL take matters into his own hands and bend the world how he pleases if it means a reality "done better." While there may have originally been truth in such a goal, his reasoning is slightly disingenuous considering it's more of a rebellion than an instance of wanting to actually better the world (due to his inability to ACTUALLY fix things how he wishes he could). Wilfre has a habit of convincing himself he's correct though, so it makes sense why it pans out this way. The writing of the first game makes it out to be a lot more malicious and pointlessly evil than dtl:tnc. Sort of always seemed flat and boring to me in how it's presented so I tend to have to embellish it a bit in my fanworks lol. It's also at this point that the fear which drives him isn't as obvious... while there are suggestions of it in dtl, it's ramped up a whole new degree in dtl:tnc. For now, most of what the player sees sets the stage for this development with wilfre's struggle against power imbalance.

At the very beginning of dtl:tnc, this framework of a power imbalance comes into play almost immediately when wilfre is spoken to directly by the creator. It's almost insulting to him considering he prayed and begged for some kind of answer for so many years, and yet only when he is far past his worst- when he is no longer devoted- now he hears them. He's livid and extremely reactionary about it! In part, this is due to justifiable anger, but I've always been lead to believe fear plays a large part here as well. His manner of speaking shifts, he hesitates; he's unsure, only for a moment before breaking out into an extravagant display of his power. Almost as if to reaffirm his control of the situation. As the game progresses, these sorts of actions increase in frequency.

Alongside these sorts of direct fear reactions popping up much more often, wilfre's shifted goal also reflects the terror which motivates him. His sights have been set on bigger things by this point: saving the world by freezing it in time and space. It's destruction is imminent if he doesnt stop those who try to return color to it. It's an action SOLELY motivated by fear of death, something he develops an almost obsessive fixation with.

Wilfre's thought process during the execution of his plan tends to follow the idea of "you can't bake a cake without breaking a few eggs," which is essentially the equivalent to "you can't save the whole world without killing or harming a couple people along the way." Even if it requires him to create a sterile, barren, unmoving world, he will do anything to prevent the physical destruction of the world... to prevent death. This is something he considers noble and just; something which makes him a savior. Realistically, freezing everything EXACTLY how it is is not much better than the world and it's inhabitants fading out of existence; it's basically the same thing! But when fear dictates logic, it doesn't need to make any sort of sense. Self preservation is the most and ONLY important thing one accounts for.

Sock, specifically, embodies wilfre's myriad of fears to a whole new level. Rather than fear being combated with a reactionary display, he cowers, hides, and acts dismissively towards a various amount of situations. I'll delve into this a bit more later in a separate point, but while some of this may be to manipulate others in the situation, it's not uncommon for wilfre to do/say something that puts on a front while masking other meaning. It's just that his typically inward thoughts tend to project themselves outwardly in this form of his!

Keep in mind that while I do believe there to be reason behind wilfre's logic and actions, that does not necessarily excuse all or even most of them. Do not misconstrue me!!! He's killed people, he's trapped people both in physical cages and in time and space, he's psychologically tortured others, the list goes on. And that's what makes him so fascinating! He's not a good guy! If you erase or excuse all of his terrible actions he becomes so much less interesting as a character and antagonist. But its undeniably interesting to look into the psychology and motivations behind his actions.

Moving on from this, it is also worth noting that I am a HUGE proponent of jowfre and it's very much so interlaced with my reading of the story/characters. Let me explain:

Sock, as a character, stands out to me a lot in how he is a major turning point for wilfre. According to his plan, the "sock" disguise SHOULD be another approach to the same issue at hand: preventing any raposa from impeding on his end goal. Disguising himself as salem was his first attempt at this... but holes were quickly poked in it's execution, and he found that prevention by force would not be successful. Instead, he then goes the opposite route; by disguising himself as sock, he can befriend jowee (who at this point has assumed the role of leader), gain the trust of others, and destroy their group from the inside. Which works! ...A little too well, he finds, as he too starts to believe his own lie of being someone who cares about jowee and his fellow raposa. And in return, he is gifted something he thought impossible in his current state: jowee's genuine friendship.

Now obviously this is a BIG DEAL. For a lot of reasons. For one, it's a hell of a lot harder to endanger the life of someone you care about than it is a random stranger who hates you (worth noting that every time this happens in the game, it becomes increasingly passive to the point that any danger isn't even coming from wilfre himself, sock just suggests that everyone leave/give up). But even less than endangering someone's life is breaking someone's spirit. If he can break jowee's determination and make the village give up on their mission, he'll succeed. And yet this is STILL something wilfre can't find it in himself to do.

I have two personal favorite examples of this that stick out to me. The first is the infamous treehouse balcony conversation... where jowee is heartbroken about the disappearance of mari. Discouraged and lost, jowee confides in sock, airing out his grievances. It's an ideal moment for sock to reaffirm jowee's broken view of himself; jowee wouldn't argue with the state he's currently in. Instead though, sock listens to him, encourages him, and comforts him. One can argue that it's a simple manipulation tactic since it's the perfect moment for wilfre to gain jowee's trust, but it's always stood out to me as something very... vulnerable. Jowee *is* the first raposa wilfre has had casual conversation with in ages anyway...... it's as if he's relishing the feeling of being able to relate and be on equal ground. The shadow has influenced his entire being, yes, but there's an undeniable glimmer of humanity in him still that yearns to escape. It's also here that we get critical insight to wilfre's inner principles when he tells a (likely fictionalized) tale and ends it with "I made a decision that- regardless of consequence- I would succeed." It speaks so much for who he is at his core and how right he believes himself to be. He's sharing BIG things with jowee rather than breaking his spirit.

The second example of this is following the first hint of mari's betrayal: when she steals the book of life from jowee. Accusations are being thrown around, faith is dwindling, and the entire village is on the brink of collapse... but when jowee comes forward with the notion of wanting to try again, to not give up... out of everyone else there, sock is the first and only to speak up. Cheering for him and encouraging him forward. Without him doing so, the mission would have failed. WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HE'S BEEN ASKING FOR!!!!!! The entire time he's been accompanying the village he has again and again (and will continue to) try to get everyone to back out of what they're doing, to split apart. But when it's served to him on a silver platter, he can't. IT'S FASCINATING!!!!!!!!

As I said though, jowee's friendship doesn't just come with one issue for wilfre, but multiple. Arguably the most egregious is the fact that it makes wilfre question if his grand plan of draining the world of all color is really right. If it's something he should even bother to do. Which must be a realization so chilling considering *he is doing so to save the whole world.* How can such a pest of a single raposa make him- the great and infallible wilfre- waiver in his confidence? This particular issue is all implication rather than direct statement; I've mentioned previously how sock gets less and less pushy as time goes on, instead vouching for generally avoidant approaches, and this is what I'm referencing here. It's downright procrastination rather than prevention!

Wilfre drags the execution of his "destroy jowee's village from the inside out" plan out for so long that he only acts when he's desperate. When there's nothing else he can do, no further thing that might delay them. He's been backed into a corner and knows jowee is far too determined to quit. And so, he drops the act. He steals heather's pendant, reveals himself as wilfre, and escapes.

I highly doubt it's intentional (and I'll get into the details on why I find this legitimate reasoning regardless of intention later), but I do find it interesting that he waits until the moment in the map room to ask for the pendant because it directly follows jowee having an outburst about wilfre and how terrible he is. Realistically, it would have been even more in sock's favor to have stolen the pendant while jowee was alone with him on one of the islands they visited. At that point, the other villagers may even have turned on jowee- their leader- out of suspicion. Better yet, sock could have stolen the pendant away while jowee slept, eliminating the need to get caught entirely. But he doesn't. It's not until he's desperate AND is directly getting reminded that the person he most cares about hates him that he acts. It's a nice callback to the aforementioned treehouse conversation the two have: regardless of consequence, regardless of losing someone he had come to care about, he would succeed in carrying out what he meant to do. And so he does. He tries to, at least.

A brief interruption from this point to speak on the writing quality of the games themselves. The drawn to life series contains two separate writing approaches: multidimensional storytelling and face value storytelling. "Multidimensional" in the sense that the writing itself mirrors a character/dictates their identity (e.g. jowee's writing reaffirming his position as someone thought of as unworthy) and "face value" in the sense that the writing tells the story in a straightforward sense with no hidden meanings (e.g. most large plot developments). It's pretty fascinating! Now, do I think this approach of dual writing systems was intentional? Well... no. Truthfully it's my opinion that the writing in the game is fairly underwhelming and not very well thought out. It's not a masterpiece by any means. But despite intent, the dual writing system is very much so at play, and one needs to approach the game being ready to actively parse through which is which.

I bring all this up to say that occasionally, the blatant multidimensional storytelling embedded in the games' writing is really just meant to be normal, face-value storytelling. Certain interactions or events seem deeper than they really are, implications come to the surface due to it, etc. And because of this, the growth of certain characters is entirely stunted. Namely due to the fact that while the player expects said character(s) to act in a certain manner due to implications previously made, this character will instead act in a wildly unexpected way because it was what the writer initially intended. And as we've established, intent does not equal correct execution. By far the worst example of this is the latter half of dtl:tnc, where wilfre tears the appearance of "sock" away with no remorse and escapes to his wasteland. After all the build-up of his blossoming relationship with jowee, his dynamic character development, and overall stakes rising, the player is suddenly brought back to a very static, unsatisfying square one... a completely out of left field 180° with character direction. I've always suspected the reason for this was that midway through the project, the script writers realized the villian had become more sympathetic of a character than one of the main protagonists (mari) and out of nowhere switched it up, cut off character arcs, etc just to ensure their original intent was preserved.. even if that ultimately led to something that felt clunky and odd.

A bit of a longwinded side tangent, but it all prefaces my next point: if the games were written with more care and without the literary biases present, wilfre would have had a redemption arc. Or at least an arc where he sees his redemption as a choice, but turns against it.

I know, I know. You can't simply see a villian character you enjoy and go "well I think they should've had a happy ending so I'm going to let AU reflect my analysis of the canon media." That's not what I'm saying here! It's not just a simple wish for better circumstances influencing my thoughts. I would have been 100% okay with an unhappy ending for him either way, if only the writing didn't handle it in a way so jarring. Because it *is* jarring though, I try to work with it by incorporating it into my analysis rather than just discarding it as unusable, disingenuous storytelling. Case in point: what I did with my jowee pmv... you GOTTA boost the drama and stretch the truth a little bit...

To wrap this very long response up, I wanted to briefly mention very minor miscellaneous thoughts I have about wilfre that didn't fit in with any other main topic I touched on:

Based on my interactions with the fandom, I've come to notice there are a LOT of people who seem to think wilfre doesn't believe in the creator. In reality, he very much so does, he just thinks they suck lol.

I think it's very cute seeing how wildly out of practice wilfre is living as a normal raposa. He's spent so long as a shadow that things which used to come so easy to him are such a chore now (e.g. in lavasteam where he breathlessly chases after jowee trying to keep up with him.. he's so used to floating he's out of practice actually carrying his bodyweight around).

I have always read drawn to life as being a story relating heavily to forced role fulfillment; a character must fill the role they are given, or the world/their own self will fall apart. Assuming you're the same anonymous asker from before, you've seen my pmv, so you know how evident jowee's forced role fulfillment (or lack thereof) is throughout the games. But wilfre is also a shining example of this narrative theme! Many of the issues that the raposa world suffers from (be it relationship disputes, societal structures, general unhappiness, etc) are oftentimes tacked on as something wilfre is somehow at fault for, however loosely. The shadow's influence leads him to lose a lot of his humanity (raposity?) on its own, but his role as the scapegoat does as well, since it warps him into more of a concept than person. This is another reason his paralyzing fear of death is so critical to get across; it returns some of the humanity and dimension to him which make him more well-rounded.

I mentioned that sock becomes more avoidant as the story progresses, but what I've neglected to mention is the fact that wilfre is generally very avoidant by nature. Despite having more power than any other thing he commands, throughout both games he incessantly tries to have the hero and others dealt with through indirect means (other bosses/shadow creatures, influencing potential allies, robbing raposa of resources, etc). It's a pretty obvious behavior that dictates his character, but is further enabled in the circumstances I elaborated on outside of these notes.

Not very wilfre-specific but moreso just general info: I do not consider the newest entry in the series of drawn to life: two realms canon in the slightest so none of my interpretations of stories or characters will ever stem from two realms events. Sorry!

Wtf is up with him being weirdly flirty with mari at the end of tnc btw. I usually just excuse it as bad writing and that sudden shift in character I talked about. Which is funny because if that character shift is indeed the writers overcompensating then that means they were worried about too much gay tension between wilfre and jowee I guess LMAO there's literally zero reason for it otherwise.. it's so ooc and out of left field. Can I just write this dude myself please.

Thank you so much for asking in the first place... I love talking about these guys!!!!! <3 If you can't tell, lol. Hope you found it interesting, I'd be happy to elaborate further if anyone's curious. Just know it might take me a little while since it took me about a week to get to this ask haha

[eldragon-x]

Thank you for participating everyone!

The right answer is indeed "God strikes down a major character with lightning". I'm glad fellow fans were amused by the mental image because it does seem absurd but probably feels completely reasonable to anyone unfamiliar with the games among everything else on this poll.

Explanations for everything else under the read more! Major spoiler warnings of course.

A major character is murdered on-screen: Mari, one of the main characters, has a father called "the Mayor" who plays a significant role in the game himself and nearing the end of the game is killed by the main antagonist in a cutscene. The fun part about this is that you can't help him immediately after despite being able to go to the crime scene, you have to do the next level first where you rescue a doctor, though she isn't able to help him anymore by then.

For the longest time the ending of the series was that all the Raposa vanished: Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter was released in 2009 and remained the last canon game in the series until 2020 when Drawn to Life: Two Realms released. The Next Chapter ended with all of the Raposa quite literally vanishing in an act of sacrifice, but this was retconned by Two Realms.

A girl is heavily injured from a car crash and her brother falls into a coma: MAJOR plot point in The Next Chapter. At the end of the game, it's revealed that the Raposa world was part of a coma dream of a human boy named Mike who was involved in a car crash with his family. His sister Heather suffered injuries on the left side of her face as a result. The Raposa vanishing was necessary in order for Mike to wake up. Also they changed this ending in later productions of the game because the original was considered too grim and even had a jarring style compared to the rest of the game. Honestly nowadays I think this ending isn't great but it's an amazing funfact to inflict on people about this series.

Three parental figures die permanently: The Mayor as well as Heather and Mike's parents die as explained before.

A mother nearly sacrifices her life in front of her son to hand over the legacy: Rose is the mayor of another village outside the main one. The village, called Watersong, is heavily music-based and it's tradition for the current mayor to give over their voice to the heir when it's time for them to take over, though this will kill the current mayor. After making and irresponsible decision and nearly loosing her voice forever, throwing Watersong into despair, Rose decides it's best to give over her voice to her son Miles, despite his young age. She is stopped by the Creator who is basicaly God in this world.

The main antagonist argues with God: At the start of The Next Chapter, Wilfre, the main antagonist of the first two games, is confronted by the Creator. Wilfre's motivation in this game is to keep the Raposa and their world alive over saving Mike and he argues that the Creator doesn't care about the Raposa.

A minor joke character becomes extremely plot-relevant in the second game: Mike exists in the Raposa world as just some guy whose whole thing it is that he's the only human and the Raposa are very confused about his short ears while he's just confused about everything in general. He literally just exists for that gag in the first game before the ending of the second game comes in with the steel chair.

The villain pretends to be made-up people two times throughout one game: In The Next Chapter, Wilfre dresses up and acts as Salem and Sock, two made-up personas. The funny thing is that Salem is obviously a bad guy while Sock pretends to be an ally. During Watersong, he actually pretends to be both at the same time and it's literally a "you never see Salem and Sock in the same room" situation. It's kinda funny on replay.

A developer insert lies about there being a method to revive a deceased character: The first game has a secret place where you can meet the developers as silly characters who either give their thanks to their inspirations or just flavour text and lighthearted nonsense. Jeremiah Slaczka, the director, is also there and tells the player that there's a flower in Wilfre's lair that can save the Mayor. That is a fucking lie and I've played through the last level so many times as a child because of it. It was confirmed to be a joke with no truth to it in 2020.

a reference for what Drawn to Life is like, since it's probably obscure enough for many people to not have an impression of it. DS game with cute fox people called Raposa where you draw things basically:

As for the PMD poll, I'll reveal the right answer and give context to everything else in a reblog once it's over!

Got a comm from @pedrodesenhador while writing stuff for this new birb character (WHO I REFUSE TO NAME, HEHE, HAHA) with another's oc!

-----------

The two walked by the zorua who sat on a chair, looking at the jackalope and fox with an annoyed look. "When can I leave this lab exactly?"

The vixen retorted, "When we can find a way to get you back to your world. I'll need to study you and what we know about universes to get the right one. Especially after what happened, my curiosity is peaked."

The jackalope nodded. "Y-yes, that was one hell of a time."

"So, you will stay in here and be a good noodle!" The vixen smiled. "Now, where do we-" Then came darkness, all the lights turning off before the two jumped. "Dammit! It's the corgis again for sure! Rain, let's go!"

The jackalope nodded, running out of the room while the vixen went for the backup generators of their base, leaving the zorua alone as he groaned.

"What the hell is going on?" He blushed while thinking of the jackalope, still trying to forget how she treated him, before a nearby vent popped open. "Oh great!" He rolled his eyes before things got- strange, the area around the open vent changing, the sight of reality melting apart to become more and more like a painting of the world he saw. "W-what the!?" Then came a talon from it before a blue blur fell to the ground in the world of artistry, her slow walk to the Pokémon being followed by sounds of carnival.

"Olá!" Her blue wings rubbed his chin, the macaw happily seeing him stuck to the chair while showing off the blue hues of her dress. "It seems like you need some help."

"W-what kind of help!?" He jolted with a blush. "One woman helps me enough."

"Woah! Relax, little raposa. I'll study you much better than they ever could." Then her wing-like arms swiftly moved, cutting the ropes holding him to the chair. "You just need to let me take you away." She turned away from him. "Get onto my back, if you will be so kind."

He only stared at her, but- there was nothing to lose, so he got onto her back before she jumped to flap her arms and burst upwards with a streak of paint behind her like a trail of air. She laughed, easily casting magic missiles to blast the roof before she flew out of the abandoned building's top. "So long, inferior vixen!" She flapped her wings to make a shockwave at the same time the painted sight of the world faded away, the time of the world flowing once again with her flapping wings.

It was too late for her to be caught, the macaw flying into the sky with him on her back, barely hanging on as she jetted up to the clouds before breaking through them with ease. "Wonderful showing by me!" She spun above the far away land below, accidently throwing the zorua off.

"YOU BIIT-"

He was caught, falling onto her back. "Ap-ap-ap! Call me rude names, and I could very well still drop you. Though I won't because I'm nice!"

"U-ugh..." He groaned. He was dead. He was assuming such before she asked him a question.

"So, do you have a name?"

"Graphite."

"What a nice name for a rude looking person."

"W-what!?"

"Remember, I am your ride for today~"

"I should have stayed at the lab." He held tightly onto her, his snout stuck to her feathers before she went higher. Graphite could smell her easily, the bits of sweat under her feathers and her natural musk being hard to avoid, even if they were far from the worst thing to smell. 

"Now, make sure to hold on especially hard now," She yelled above the sound of loud winds.

"Why- Hngh?!" The wind picked up immediately as they went into what was making such sounds, a rush of it hitting the macaw from behind before she extended her arms to let the air flow under them and take the rush of their speed above the clouds. The two rode the jet stream for miles in the warmth above the clouds, passing by the growing clouds as they clumped into one another, making further shadows upon the lands below of a dense green as Graphite stayed stuck onto her, taking her scent in for the whole trip with the sight of the sun basking down onto the Earth.

Though the ease- it wasn't relaxation he told himself. He hated this, as much as he hated the jackalope of before, but- for moments- was he forgetting to say that part to himself while she carried him above what was still a strange world?

"Hey." The zorua jolted awake. Her feathers were soft, but- was he nearly going to sleep upon her back? No, not at all. He could've thought more on it, but she continued before he had the choice to ignore the idea of that happening further. "We got some turbulence ahead, but we're where we need to be anyway."

"Turbulence?" He looked forward, seeing a wall of water vapor that roared with thunder from inside itself nearing the both of them, who now seemed insignificantly small compared to it. The single cloud towered above them, the others clumped up together even more near it. "I think that is a little bit more than turbulence," he sneered.

"Regardless, I can deal with it. Maybe."

"Maybe?" He then felt her tilt down, leaving the jet stream to turn much of its momentum downward and glide forward to the ground far below. "W-woah! What the hell! Slow down!"

"We'll be fine!" She smiled. "Trust me." He held on for dear life, seeing her wings have the air pool around them as their bottoms glowed with cyan magic and their tips got coated in something like smoke. A barrier appeared around Graphite to shield against the rapid amount of air slamming against her decent. Though he still felt the heat, friction going against them before they both could hear the sound of thousands of taps upon the tropical forest below as rain pelted the many trees' tops.

"Watch out a little!"

"Way ahead of you!" She turned upwards, grunting a little as the force downward got tilted back to the need to rush forward and their heat clashed with the rain's cold nature under the heavy clouds, streaks of steam coming off the two as they rapidly flew above the forest, slowly losing speed as she went through the torrent of rain. "And there we go. I need to cut some more speed, but we're near my place enough. We're fine!" The barrier slowly faded, letting water get onto Graphite, who immediately shook the cold.

"That's easy for you to say!"

"No, it isn't! You'll get the ability to dry off soon, so stop whining!"

He grunted, rolling his eyes as she slowly lowered herself, eventually going in a circle downward to make her way through a small gap on the many trees to reach a darker place below, where the leaves above acted as cover for the already damp soil. Graphite didn't wait a moment to jump off her back after she softly landed, running to the door carved into a nearby tree with a light inside before being stopped in place. "H-hey!?"

She walked past him being frozen. "You need some manners. What do you say when someone helps you?"

He growled, feeling his body being unable to move even if he tried. Most of it was frozen in time, only his head being free so he could hear her say this. "Ugh... thank you."

He was freed, able to follow her inside to the home made from the inside of the massive jungle tree...

[prezs]

i was tagged by @of-the-noseworthy-clan to post my 10 favorite female characters from 10 different fandoms! thank you!! i had a lot of fun! i hope you don’t mind i made a new post to avoid clutter! :,) these are loosely ranked, but can be swapped around depending on the day and what i’m into at the moment. anyways, here we go!

1. White (Pokemon Special): An old favorite of mine. White will always have a spot on this list; she’s why my URL is prezs! Even before White learned how to battle, I always thought she was the best, having the responsibility of BW Agency president and all. I love her ability to plan, lead, and most importantly, self reflect. She has a lovely character arc in BW, and it was great to see her in action in B2W2! I could go on, but I’ll spare you guys.

2. Symmetra / Satya Vaswani (Overwatch): As someone who used to main her and genuinely adores her lore, it would be amiss to leave Symmetra off this list. The amount of death threats I’ve received playing her only made me love her more! I have a strong fondness for misled, good natured characters in bad organizations. Absolutely adored the latest short story with her and Zenyatta. Really hope to see more of her in Overwatch 2!

3. Heather Row (Drawn to Life): Another old favorite of mine! Raposa or human, Heather has some of my favorite character designs. They’re so simple but impactful. I also really like how Two Realms built upon The Next Chapter’s ending. I felt her character progressed in a very logical and fitting manner. Despite having been through so much, she’s still kind, loving, and tries to see the good in people - but has a temper and takes no shit. If we ever get a fourth Drawn to Life game, I’d love to see even more of her!

4. Cait (Fallout 4): My favorite female companion from Fallout 4 by far. I always make sure to travel with her and max out her affinity. I think she’s one of the better written companions in Fallout 4 too. She has a lot of great interactions, and the character development that occurs alongside her friendship with the Sole Survivor is really, really touching. I always think about that one affinity conversation of hers where she’s just so happy to finally have a real friend who’s proud of her.

5. Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist): Miss Riza... I remember back when I first read Fullmetal Alchemist, I used to skim past any chapters that didn’t have her! Hawkeye genuinely sculpted my tastes when it comes to characters, to the point of it being noticeable. Loyal, capable, and with heavy guilt from the war, she is such an interesting character and I genuinely adore her dynamic with Mustang. It’s been years and I still find myself thinking about them.

6. Rayla (The Dragon Prince): Rayla! I was originally torn between choosing her or General Amaya, but after weighing how much of an impact these characters actually had on me by like, Season 3′s finale, I gotta go with Rayla. I don’t really talk about The Dragon Prince much outside of new seasons, but I really do love it. And I absolutely love Rayla. Her design, personality, and backstory are just so much fun and I really like seeing her character develop.

7. Christine Royce (Fallout: New Vegas): Oh boy, oh boy. My favorite Fallout: New Vegas companion. She’s tied pretty closely with Arcade, and is usually the character I think of when someone mentions FNV. Dead Money is, by far, my favorite DLC from this game, and I really enjoyed the Courier’s interactions with Christine. It was a really unique set up and I found Christine’s backstory sad but fascinating!

8. Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender): Katara’s been one of my favorites, for like, ever. No joke, there’s a picture of me from middle school wearing a Katara costume for Halloween. She definitely set the groundwork for a lot of my favorite characters (with a few being on this very list)! I feel like if I started on the reasons why I like her, we’d be here forever, so I’ll just say I love her concept and character arc a lot.

9. Chell (Portal): Chell doesn’t really talk, so much of my love for her comes from her design and the plot of Portal and Portal 2 itself. I don’t really have much to say outside of loving her determination and thinking she’s really pretty. She was my first exposure to having a designated female protagonist for a video game as well.

10. Zelda (The Legend of Zelda, specifically Skyward Sword or Spirit Tracks Zelda): Worth noting that I have not played Breath of the Wild yet, so I might add that Zelda to this list one day too. I really loved both of these Zeldas. They both seemed to be so full of life and personality, especially the Spirit Tracks Zelda. I loved having her as a companion for that game; she was just so fun!

i’m supposed to tag 10 people, but i’m so bad at thinking of ppl bc i don’t want to be annoying HDHJGDJH if you wanna do this, PLEASE do and tag me!! i wanna see you talk about your favs! : )

Drawn To Life: Two Realms

[Why It Failed]

A Little About Me:

Hello! I am Cope/Baki/Dynocation. I decided to finally review this game, and I have some gripes with it.

I have actually won several awards in game design, studied it, and also been in close contact with people who have worked within nintendo and microsoft. So I feel like I know enough about the gaming industry to give an informed opinion. I am still a baby though in the adult word, a lil 20 body.

I'm not 100% liked in the dtl fandom. I kinda keep to myself, but trouble usually comes to me in the form of people wanting to be my friend and me being a anti-social hardass.

Introduction:

Drawn To Life is a video game series released back in 2007 for the nintendo ds. The game just recently has been revived in 2020 with the release of "Drawn To Life: Two Realms".

I'm writing this like an actual research paper, mainly for my own amusement, but feel free to read and give your own opinions in the comments or in a blog response if you like.

Part 1: Red Flags Of Developement

I was listening to one of the writers for Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter in a interview talk about the game. Something that stood out to me is they referred to Wilfre's character as being "literally Satan", which is not a good description of his character. This statement was repeated multiple times, so it wasn't a one off comment. Wilfre is more akin to the story of "Prometheus" than he is to the story of "Satan/Lucifer". I actually had this deep debate/look into drawn to life's story with a fellow book reader a while back and we both came to the same conclusion. You may realize that infact the story of "Satan" is a spinoff of "Prometheus". The bible took direct inspiration from the story, but there's a key difference between the stories and characters, and that's the theme. In Prometheus' story, he's trying to protect the humans from being hurt by the gods, while in Satan's story, he's trying to hurt the God to prove a point. Wilfre is more like Prometheus, given he's trying to protect the raposa from a god seeking to hurt them. This would make Wilfre a hero, in Greek terms. He suffers personal lose in the attempt to better the lives of the majority, which is considered a heroic feet within story telling.

Why am I describing this? It's because a good number of people in the Drawn To Life community adore Wilfre because of this. Wilfre is a greek hero/tragedy in character. To brush him aside as a "generic villain" is either a huge misunderstanding of the story written or perhaps Wilfre was written the way he was on complete accident! Wilfre relates to people on a personal level, like a Greek God, Wilfre is inherently flawed. He is not perfect, but what gives him the heroic status is he gives up worldly possessions so he can give to the others, which is a very loveable trait about him. To call him literally Satan is a bit of an unintetional insult to his character and makes me worry for future story. Don't get me wrong, being inspired by the bible is completely fine, but for a literally Satan character, I would have kept to the Wilfre of "Drawn To Life" original game. Wilfre could be argued to be "Satan" in that one as he is actively trying to hurt the creator, but in "The next chapter" he sways into Prometheus territory. I would think the writer behind this would be self aware of this comparison, as Wilfre calls himself a hero within the game itself, twice. You'd think this would be a nod toward Prometheus' story, which confuses me why then he'd be described as "Satan" if this is not the case.

The Game Itself:

I'll now be deep diving into the game "Drawn To Life: Two Realms".

[bregee13]

How does TR affect botRapo? And a new Bot?

botRapo is an accidental fusion of the generic male and female Raposa. They are fully aware that they and their world exists in a game. Errr games? In terms of lore, they are directly connected to the code of the game. In fact, due to the nature of BotRapo's existence, they are directly rooted in the code's very core. Afterall, they are a fusion of what is essentially two different Raposa templates. So how would newer games affect them, their world, and their existence?

Well first off, they were based entirely on the generic sprites in the first game. So you could say that's their origin sort of.

Their code wasn't involved at all with the Wii game (which is a non canon game), so they probably wouldn't be there. And if there was a character like them in that game's code, it would be a coincidence. It would either be a non-canon version of bot or a new character all together.

Since a bunch of sprites from the first game was used in TNC and that many new sprites were based on the old generic ones, it is very likely that botRapo would be in TNC also! But what exactly does that mean?

If botRapo is in both DS games, how does that work? Does that mean there's two different botRapos? If so, they'd be clones to some degree? Do they know each other? Does TNC bot have DTL bot memories? If we look at the Collection bundle, would they be able to interact with their clone there? Would the Collection have one or two bots? What if there's only one botRapo and they only exist in the most recently updated game they are in? What if there is MANY different versions of botRapo that fit all of these circumstances?! And while they technically have multiple versions of themselves, the main version would be the one with the most memories. The main bot would be the one that exists in the most updated version of the game as they have memory of all versions of the games they were in. But what about the other versions of botRapo? The outdated versions of botRapo would be permanently stuck in their respective versions of the games. Meaning they'd be trapped in a world where everything seems to stay the same. The main bot would be aware of their many clones who are either blissfully unaware or are suffering horribly. BotRapo has probably come to the conclusion that the Creator doesn't care for them or their world because of this. That certainly explains why they're so mad a lot of the time.

But now we're at the most important question. How does Drawn to Life: Two Realms affect botRapo? I honestly don't know. On one hand, it's a canon game. So the rest of the Leopard Gang would be able to move on to TR without even noticing it. But botRapo is so deeply connected to the sprites and code from the DS  games they might be tied to them in a way that they won't be able to move on from the DS games. This is due to the TR sprites being brand new. The only way botRapo can move on to TR is if their code was put in there in some sort of way.

So it sadly looks like botRapo will end up stuck in TNC while the rest of the Leopard Gang move on to TR without them. Which is going to be very sad especially for Layla who has really grown to like bot. To her and the rest of the gang it'd be as if botRapo has disappeared from nowhere and died. be I wonder if Two Realms will have any generic Raposa. If so then there might be a new character similar to bot in terms of how they were made. A new Raposa Fusion made for Drawn to Life: Two Realms. They'd likely be a completely different character despite being in a similar situation. I envision their design to be reverse of BotRapo's. (Really tall instead of really short, and Male/Female sides being swapped) I think that this new character would meet the Leopard Gang right away and try to be really friendly with them (especially to Layla after they learn about botRapo). It would also be cool if this new character and the Leopard Gang were to try to get botRapo back. After all, TR will probably get updates after release! And all the ones that weren't that fond of bot would learn to appreciate them.

...You know, thinking about this might technically be pointless to some degree. Because I had decided a few months ago that The Leopard Gang is actually a fictional series within the Rapo World. So this might not even matter. In fact the whole meta with botRapo is very confusing when you look deep into it like this. That kinda sounds accurate to a bunch of comic book series (Which The Leopard Gang franchise definitely has).

So what do you all think? Does any of my ramblings make any sense? Do you think botRapo will be separated from the rest of the gang? What name should I give this new fusion character? Let me know!

WILFY AND LANE >:3c

Ah yeah two of the oldest bitches I GOT let’s GO!

Wilfy

Full Name: Winnifred Muneera | Wilfy as a nickname

Gender and Sexuality: cis female and bisexual

Pronouns: she/her

Ethnicity/Species: She’s a holy variation of a species I made when I was like 10 years old. This species is basically sentient magic and takes the physical appearance of any species it wants. Holy ones are called Skytopians. Wilfy takes the form of a little cat or half cat/half human most of the time.

Birthplace and Birthdate: She was born in Skytopia, which is basically a big kingdom that is located in the clouds. She’s the heir to the throne so she’s a princess. Her birthday is April 8th.

Guilty Pleasures:

-Goofing off on Earth rather than going and doing her princess duties in the sky

-Being lazy and napping on clouds

-Cooking, but moreso the act of it rather than eating anything so she mostly gives food away a lot.

Phobias:

-Death of herself and those around her

-Caverns, canyons, pits, caves, etc. Basically anything that’s dark and gaping and looks as if if you fall in it will suck you in and kill you. She feels like she’s suffocating around these kinds of things.

-Very unnatural and disturbing imagery, ESPECIALLY body horror. If there’s something bending the wrong way, even if it’s like a broken limb, she will probably cry lmao it freaks her out

What They Would Be Famous For: Just being a good person honestly. She does a lot of good and selfless things all the time

What They Would Get Arrested For: Helping the wrong kind of person and getting framed for something she didn’t do

OC You Ship Them With: no one rn. I really want someone for her but I have no idea what to do for a partner at the moment jdkskdks

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Silverhaunt. It isn’t that he hates HER but he hates everything she’s directly connected to so yeah he’d try to kill her ass on sight if he could lmao

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Probably comedy for both tbh

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Horror anything for movies and the good ole “everything sucks and nothing gets better” book endings

Talents and/or Powers:

-Very good at flying with her wings. Maneuvers herself very well even against strong winds and storms and such

-Gets along with pretty much everyone unless they’re awful lmao

-Her magic type is healing and she’s very good at doing so, but she cannot heal herself ironically

-She surprisingly is good with swords, but that’s mostly a very little known fact

Why Someone Might Love Them: there is literally no reason to not love her I’m not gonna lie. I mean I’m biased but shhh-

I mean ok though I guess because she’s such a heavy optimist who sees the good in everything and everyone

Why Someone Might Hate Them: Idk you have bad taste or something?? /j

Ok but no realistically she does have a bad tendency to be naive and give chances to people who don’t deserve it and that is very annoying lmao

How They Change: She doesn’t change much at all if I’m being real, she’s always gonna be a relatively pure little ball of sunshine but I guess she matures a bit over time and maybe wisens up to the ways of the world at some point

Why You Love Them: she is my fucking baby. Also she encompasses a very beautiful and innocent time in my life.

Lane

Full Name: Delanie Ardere | Lane for a nickname

Gender and Sexuality: cis female and lesbian

Pronouns: she/her

Ethnicity/Species: Half of a species of angel that I made up, and half raposa which is a lil race of fox people from a video game lmao

Birthplace and Birthdate: She was born on a large and mostly isolated tropical island called Eptora. She was born October 26th

Guilty Pleasures:

-Reading. In fact she can mostly be found reading books somewhere about 99% of the time. Doesn’t really matter what genre most of the time

-Stargazing and astrology. She’s pretty hooked on that subject and is a major nerd about it

-Collecting weapons

Phobias:

-Being useless and weak

-Disappointing those closest to her

-Abandonment

-Burning out and dying from her magic defect

What They Would Be Famous For: Honestly? A lot of things. Bitch is kinda a badass and canonically tears down a whole ass corrupt monarchy (with help but is the general spearheader of it) just because the people involved were responsible for kidnapping her girlfriend. She’s what we call a very angry hero most of the time and that would be her claim to fame.

What They Would Get Arrested For: ....also a lot lmao. But mostly going against corrupt people and systems who would want her imprisoned for doing so. I would say other contenders are assault and property damage though

OC You Ship Them With: my dude Adam’s OC Althea. They’re very sweet together.

OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Buddy there’s a list of people likely who would line up for the opportunity

Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Movie I would say action/adventure and book I would say mystery/thriller

Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Anything she finds boring for either tbh. There’s nothing specific, but if it doesn’t give her a sense of fulfillment for finishing the story she won’t like it

Talents and/or Powers:

-Physically strong

-Knows how to use a lot of different kinds of weapons, particularly guns and blades

-A good leader who knows how to bring out the strengths in each member of her team

-Her magic is generally unable to be used until she’s at a later stage in life because of a defect in her genetics, but when she can it’s a lot of celestial type magic. So lots of spacey magic that has fire and ice as a main base for its appearance and effect. Most of the time she’ll be using magical weapons tho.

Why Someone Might Love Them: I would say because she’s a badass tbh. She’s a tough punk with a strong set of morals who never gives up and you gotta respect what she stands for, which is generally protecting and uplifting innocents that get caught up in awful circumstances

Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s one of those people that either respect for being a hotheaded punk or you hate for being a hotheaded punk. I can see why someone wouldn’t like her broody attitude sometimes

How They Change: She gains more confidence and sense of worth for herself throughout the story after originally starting off with about none. She’ll never stop growing and changing and that’s an important part of her overall character

Why You Love Them: She’s my first OC and obviously one of the ones I’m most attached to by default because she’s grown and changed with me so much. If I had to pick one OC to be known by it’d be her. I made her to be the strong female character I wanted to see in the world and idk I just love her

[ls-arkos1334]

Okay so I crave DtL content, Samuel is one of my favorite side characters and always has been and I was wondering if maybe you have any headcanons for him :3c (if not that's fine, especially since he's kinda forgettable lmao)

*rubs hands together* yes ive been wanting to share these!!! -i think this is a common one; i hc that there are other deities other than the creator, deadwood being one of them. -samuel does believe in the creator, but he primarily follows deadwood. -stemming from that, his robe is symbolic of his beliefs. (religion?) -he's partially albino. consequently, he gets sunburnt easily and is practically blind. -he can "see" using deadwood's roots, which grow across the entire world. (maybe even the human world..?) -he's old. like, centuries old. he doesn't remember much of it tho. -he likes tea, cleaning, and climbing trees. -he dislikes loud noises, negative auras, and pepper. -he's generally liked by the raposa. they often go to him for advice. he's never bothered by it, as he loves to share deadwood's wisdom. -he's also the village's best storyteller.

overall, he's very wholesome and i love him very much.

The Colorful Cast of Drawn to Life (Wii)

Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter for the Wii is known for having the smallest cast of characters in any Drawn to Life game, with a grand total of 15 characters actually appearing in the village under normal circumstances. However, not many people know of the other Raposa that do not appear in the village, but are in the game. These characters can be found in three different ways - cutscenes, specific unlock criteria, and Raposa Sports minigames.

Cutscenes

In the first major cutscenes, five characters appear that do not appear in the main game, these being Wilfre, Mayor, and three Generic Raposa Characters. While Wilfre also appears in a Creation template, and Mayor also has a statue and a portrait in Mari's house, this is the only place in the game where they are featured alive.

Specific Unlock Criteria

Some characters only appear in the village after certain criteria are met. For example, Zsasha only appears after rescuing him from the Treetop Village, and Erika only appears after DJ's quest begins. However, there is one character that only appears after non-story required criteria is met.

Stampy is a character that is only available to interact with after collecting all 10 stamps in the "Raposa" collection. Though the location of all ten of these stamps is currently unknown, 5 of them can be found in the following locations:

Raposa Eyes - Jangala Floor

Raposa Head - Tundara

Jowee's Goggles - Sky Arch Mountains

Mayor's Monocle - Wilfre's Lair

Galileo's Mustache - The Baldy Slopes

After collecting and purchasing all 10 of these, upon exiting the shop, Isaac will ask the player to stamp them onto his building. After completing the Creation segment and stamping the stamps onto the building, Stampy will introduce himself.

After this point, Stampy can be talked to by interacting with his sprite on the wall of Isaac's shop.

Raposa Sports Exclusive

In the audience of all Raposa Sports minigames, two Raposa can be found that can't be found anywhere else - Bubba and Count Choco. All three of these Raposa, as well as the other Raposa in the crowd, use their designs from an earlier design of the game.

Interestingly, a Female Raposa Template is also seen in the crowd, third from the left or right on the front row, seen in higher detail (but without textures) above. If she is counted, this brings the number of Wii-exclusive Raposa to 5 instead of the known 4.

[eldragon-x]

and finally Mr. Wilfre DrawnToLife

my beloved!!

favorite thing about them: He works so well as a morally grey villain.

(major spoilers for the first two Drawn to Life games below)

He starts out finding it unfair that only the Creator and no Raposa is allowed to draw into the Book of Life and accidentally creates monsters while attempting to draw his own creations. His way to villainy, I'd argue, started when he already fucked up with the village and realized how much power he possesses with some of the remains of the book still at his hand. You could argue the reason for him to cover the world in shadow was maybe that he wanted to proove that he could be just as powerful as the Creator only with the help of the book. Then in the second game, he steals color across the world with the intend to keep Mike in his coma so the Raposa world, that became part of his subconsciousness, wouldn't vanish upon him waking up.

Overall, he sees the Creator as an unfair creature (not allowing the Raposa to add their own creations to their world, valuing the life of one human over those of every Raposa) and has understandable motives, but still is a villainous character and generally acts like an asshole.

In summary:

least favorite thing about them: I... do not like the implication that the shadow corrupted Wilfre to become the way he is. It would make him a lot less interesting and three-dimensional as a character. It technically isn't canon thank the creator but there was a cut dialouge for the first game that would've confirmed that and seeing how Two Realms hints at a Wilfre redemption combined with the game establishing that shadows infuence peoples' feelings and thoughts, I'm extremely worried.

Let Wilfre have done his actions on purpose and fully aware of it. Let him have views and opinions and his grudge against the Creator. He can have a redemption if it's done well but please, if there will be a sequel to Two Realms, don't take this away from him

favorite line: None in particular but I like the part in TNC where he speaks to the Creator

brOTP: I always headcanoned that he used to be close friends with the Mayor. Before uh, fucking shit up.

OTP: Okay listen for some reason? Drewfre is pretty popular in the fandom. Drew is the "canon" Creation Hero, who was sent by the Creator to help the Raposa in times of crisis, which usually also includes defeating Wilfre. And since Drew is the player character which can have any name and design, they don't have much of a canon personality but for some reason we (as in the dtl fandom) just decided that he's like "I Can Fix Him" towards Wilfre and they're enemies to lovers.

nOTP: him being shipped with Mari or Jowee who are both significantly younger than him

random headcanon: Wilfre is actually the only Raposa who is able to draw and improve his art! Normally, Raposa can draw in a messy, childish style at best which adds up with the Creator, basically being their god, drawing everything that exists into their world. Having the ability to draw would mean having the ability to create anything in their world. For unknown reasons, Wilfre was able to work on and improve his drawing skills and enjoyed being an artist all his life! Tho it was very pressuring as some Raposa believed he was something like an angel and destined to do something great while others considered him a sinner for practicing art. If the Creator actually had plans with him, they sure backfired lmao

unpopular opinion: None, a huge part of the fandom loves him as I do

song i associate with them: Ready As I'll Ever Be gives me strong Wilf vibes

favorite picture of them:

This one for the simple reason that it's the only official artwork of non-shadow Wilfre, outside of sprites. The fandom actually makes more content of non-shadow Wilfre than the creators lmao

care if i see the full body height chart for your wilfre, circi, jowee, mari, mike and heather? i'm curious

ahahaha I may be an artist but I'm terrible and inconsistent with height differences between characters. But I hope this rought MS paint portrayal of how I imagine these characters' height differences will suffice.

I always imagined Raposa to generally be shorter than humans which is why there's such a huge difference between real life Mike and Heather and the rest. I also kinda tried to portray the bodytypes of the different characters in this.

I should probably establish my headcanons for everyone's ages since that plays a factor into the heights.

R!Heather is supossed to be a little girl so there's that. Jowee and Mari are defenetly young adults in TR. I imagine they might've been older teens in the first two games, depending on the time spans between all three games. Both Wilfre and Circi are significantly older than the former two with Wilfre being a bit older than Circi as well. Mike is somewhere in his teens and H!Heather is a young adult.

The ear-lenght of the Raposa characters depend on their sex since I've picked up the fanon that male Raposa have short ears and female Raposa have long ears and I hc basically every character in this image besides Circi as trans. Long-eared Raposa's ears are also usually visibly a bit longer than their heads, but Circi's ears are shorter than the average since they're almost at equal lenght to her head.

hm, mari for the character ask if you haven't already?

another beloved Raposa!

favorite thing about them: I love Mari so so much and that only got stronger when I got back into DtL at an older age because I find her struggle to grow up and take bigger responsibilities relatable. She tries her best and wants to be there for the villagers, but she still makes mistakes and is a flawed person and it makes her feel so balanced. I generally just love the characters in this game series.

least favorite thing about them: Maybe it's just me but her turn-around in TNC seems kinda odd? She had good reasons to work with Wilfre and it was weird for her to turn back against him after they tried to convince Jowee to help.

Aside from this I refuse to believe that Mari has "forgiven" Wilfre in Two Realms. I will buy that they're working together again but I won't buy that Mari just forgives him like that.

favorite line: again, none in particular

brOTP: I like to think she's friends with Isaac :)

OTP: Mari and Jowee. Girlboss and Pure of Heart, Dumb of Ass.

nOTP: mentioned before

random headcanon: For some reason I like to think that the Mayor adopted her.

unpopular opinion: So many people dislike her for her attitude and some of her actions but I honestly don't get it. I think one thing that people really dislike is how she lashes out at the hero and Jowee after literally her only family died and blames the hero for it but like, it's understandable. She was already under stress and then this happened on top of it. It's not like she stayed mad at anyone who wasn't responsible either, she really just snapped in the moment.

song i associate with them: OBVIOUS ANSWE R BUT THE ENDING SONG OF THE FIRST GAME. 6 Y/O ME SOBBED AT THAT PART OF THE GAME AND ITS SO GOOD. DTL RLLY HAD THREE VOCAL SONGS LIKE THE GOD TIER GAME SERIES IT IS.
