Mayor Scarredy

Mayor Scarredy.

Mayor Scarredy is the mayor of a small city south of the Forever Forest and near Wonderfalls. He appears only in Mysteries of Fire Island, playing a very minor role at the beginning and end of the game.

Mayor Scarredy's first appearance is in the second hub area the player visits in Mysteries of Fire Island, when pieces of burning sky have begun raining down. He/She is not there until the player talks to Morklin, at which time he/she will appear. His/Her primary purpose is to give the player the town keys so that the player can continue with Morklin into the next area.

If the player talks to Mayor Scarredy again after he/she gives the town keys, he/she will compare the current plight with other problems that have befallen Wonderland: the Rainbow Coins going missing, the Wee Stinkers being swept up by a storm, the Rainbow Spirits appearing, and The Void beginning to expand (in other words, the four previous Wonderland games). He/She will also note that one brave Stinker (or four) always saved the land, referring to Stinky, Loof, Qookie, Peegue, and the player.

Mayor Scarredy appears again at the end of Mysteries of Fire Island, after the player has apparently retrieved the Star Key and come home to save Wonderland. He/she greets the player as he/she uses the Home Glyph to travel back to Wonderfalls, exchanging some pleasantries and then sending the player off to complete his/her mission. He/She won't talk to the player as much as he/she did in the beginning of the game.

By his/her own admission, Mayor Scarredy is a coward. If the player asks him/her if he/she wants to accompany him/her and Morklin, he/she says he/she is too scared to do so, adding "they don't call me Mayor Scarredy for nothing!" Few other aspects of his/her personality can be discerned, as he/she does not say very much throughout the game.
