Main Characters

The Creator and the Hero

Exactly What It Says on the Tin, the Creator is the almighty being who created the world of Drawn to Life. The hero is the Creator's presence powering a wooden dummy. Whether or not they're separate entities is unknown.

• A God Is You
• But Now I Must Go: At the end of the first game (maybe), based off dialogue in the other games.
• Divine Assistance
• Gods Need Prayer Badly

Mari

The mayor's daughter and future mayor of the village. She is the only one left with faith in the Creator, and that's when you answer her call and begin the game. She's not quite sure about her skills as mayor, but she has no choice but to accept it once her father dies.

• Face Heel Turn: In the DS sequel. Sort of.
  • Faith Heel Turn

Jowee

Mari's best friend and a Raposa with a love of adventure. He's skeptical about you at first, but soon becomes one of your closest friends. At the end of the first game, he leaves the village, but returns anyway.

• Goggles Do Nothing
• Series Mascot: He's on the title drawing screen as well as the image that represents the games when one activates the DS with the games currently in.

The Mayor

The mayor of the village and Mari's father. He's among the last ones to leave the village before you begin fixing everything. He's eventually murdered by Wilfre in the endgame.

• No Name Given: It's possible that, with the strange names the series has, that his name actually is "Mayor".
• Unexplained Recovery: Maybe. He reappears for a while toward the end of the DS sequel, but this is never explained, and he disappears for good after a bit.

Heather

A mysterious young Raposa girl with half of her face covered in shadows. She doesn't talk very much. In the DS sequel, it's revealed that she's Mike's sister in the real world.

• Ambidextrous Sprite
• Cute Mute: At first.
• Damsel in Distress: Somewhat, she's kidnapped by Wilfre at the beginning of the DS version of The Next Chapter and is found only after the final boss.
• Orphan's Plot Trinket

Mike

A human that the hero stumbled across seemingly by accident in the first game. Not knowing what a human is, the others consider him to be an odd Rapo without any ears (their ears are all long). He comes to accept being in the village. In the sequel, it's revealed that the world is actually a fantasy of his while the real world Mike is unconscious from a coma or falling out of a tree.

• Token Human
