Mayor Scarredy

Mayor Scarredy.

Mayor Scarredy is the mayor of Wonderfalls, a small town 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 MoFI hub area, when pieces of burning sky have begun raining down. He is inactive until the player talks to Morklin, at which time a Command 1 is used and Mayor Scarredy becomes visible. His primary purpose is to give the player the town keys so that he/she can continue with Morklin into the next area.

If you talk to Mayor Scarredy again, 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 has considerably fewer dialogues here than 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 has very few dialogues.

Mayor Scarredy is almost certainly male, judging by his choice of headgear (a tophat).
