Mayor Scarredy

Mayor Scarredy.

Mayor Scarredy is the mayor of Wonderfalls, a small city south of the Forever Forest. 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 is not there until the player talks to Morklin, at which time he will appear. His 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 gives the town keys, he 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 will also note with pride how one brave Stinker (or four) always saved the land, referring to Stinky, Loof, Qookie, Peegue, and the player. All this triggers some faint memories in the player's mind, but there are few solid memories.

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 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 won't talk to the player as much as he did in the beginning of the game.

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

Mayor Scarredy is almost certainly male, judging by his choice of headgear (a tophat). While there is some minor doubt as to his gender identity, this article refers to him as male because it adds to legibility greatly. The administrators have agreed that an article being easy to read is more important than its being completely correct, so please do not vandalize this page with pointless and unnecessary politically correct terms.
