“Oh Rapo... What am I getting myself into!?”
–Jowee
Jowee is one of the primary protagonists of the Drawn to Life series. He is very adventurous and carefree, though he can be serious if need be. After his appearance in Drawn to Life, Jowee would be given more character focus in later installments of the series, where he would become secondary protagonist to the Hero. Throughout the entire series, he is portrayed as Mari's love interest and after Drawn to Life: Two Realms, the two of them are engaged.
Jowee's personality changes over the course of the games. In the original game, Jowee was not always incredibly serious, but he loved to go on adventures. Jowee had liked Mari and was very kind, but he occasionally made mistakes that caused trouble for the village. In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, Jowee started off seemingly with no goal in mind, though this changed when he learned that Mari was missing, causing him to become more serious. This change in attitude led to him taking on the role of The Hero's sidekick. He then risked his life to save Mari, which showed how devoted he truly is.
Appearance[edit]
Jowee is a teenage male Raposa with orange fur. He wears a blue and white shirt and brown shorts. In addition, he also wears blue goggles, which often rest upon his head, and a red scarf with a gold bell.
Jowee's appearance, for the most part, remains consistent between games and official art. Some discrepancies, however, do exist. For example, in many official artworks, including the game box-art, Jowee is seen without shorts (Though this is likely a stylistic choice and not his actual outfit or lack thereof). This contradicts the in-game sprites and the official "Raposa Coat of Arms", which both show him wearing shorts. The latter of which even includes Jowee wearing shoes, something not seen anywhere else.
Drawn to Life[edit]
Jowee is first encountered when he is woken up by Mari and the Creator. At first, he only half believes Mari when she tells him of the Creator's return, but quickly changes his mind when he hears the Creator himself and sees the Hero. When Heather is rescued from Frostwind, Jowee is assigned to watch over her by the Mayor. This leads to the two developing a close, sibling-esque, friendship.
Jowee will sometimes attempt to impress Mari. He once went about this by running into a level, forcing The Hero to retrieve him. Later it is pointed out that he only wanted to get a flower for Mari. Jowee usually has good intentions, but can still be fairly reckless. At the end of the game, Indee and Pirate Beard invite Jowee to go on an adventure with them. Mari tells him that he should not refuse since it is his lifelong dream. In the end, however, he decides to stay with her.
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)[edit]
This Section of Jowee Contains Non-Canon Content! |
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii), Jowee is given a more primary role. When items are stolen, Jowee believes that Zsasha is behind their disappearance. He also believes that Zsasha has gone off to Jangala. Jowee goes with The Hero to Jangala in order to try and find Zsasha and bring back the items. Jowee and The Hero then find Zsasha has been held captive by a Monkey King. Jowee's theory is proven wrong when Mari realizes Zsasha didn't take the items. Mari then suspects that Wilfre had returned and stole the items. She then sends Jowee and The Hero to Shadow City, to see if they can find Wilfre. They find Wilfre's journal, which holds a plan to destroy The Creator. The plan requires branches from the Tree of Ages and the Eternal Furnace, along with a pen and pencil and the mask they got from the Monkey King to stop Wilfre. Jowee and The Hero are then sent to Icy Wastes, in order to find the Eternal Furnace. Soon the group hear from Galileo that the Tree of Ages is in trouble, so The Hero and Jowee go to the Eastern Winds. They save the tree, and get the branches. After Circi reveals that she was with Wilfre all along, her monster fills the village with Shadow and kills her. The Hero then defeats it, and Jowee says he doesn't want to go on adventures as often anymore.
Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter[edit]
In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, Jowee is again given a more primary role. He becomes second protagonist to The Hero after Mari's departure. As the game progresses, he goes through a significant change in attitude and adapts to the role of a leader and a helpful guide. Much to the reluctance of the rest of the villagers, Jowee insists on searching for his missing friend. When he and the rest of the group arrive at Wilfre's Wasteland, he confronts Mari, who finally joins back with her village. During the final battle, the Raposa pray for The Hero.
Drawn to Life: Two Realms[edit]
Imagination Battle[edit]
“Jowee just wants to be included. Show him a flippin' good time!”
–Level Description
Jowee's Imagination Battle in Drawn to Life: Two Realms is named Jowee's Next Adventure. It is the sixth story level in the game, and has three segments. After returning to Rapoville and escaping the Shadows, the Hero reports back to Mari. However, Jowee overhears their conversation and is upset that she didn't include him in her plans to help Mike. Jowee then challenges the Hero to an Imagination Battle to prove himself.
Enemies[edit]
Build Mode[edit]
In Build Mode, the player is given a Bounce, a Megamini, and a Spring. One possible solution is to place the Bounce underneath the wall jump platforms, place the Megamini on the hovering platform, and place the Spring anywhere where it wont get in the way.

“Oooh! That Wilfre!”
–Jowee
“We should go find your dad... He'll know what to do.
The village entrance is blocked by darkness...
We could use The Village Snow Gate to get there...”
–Jowee
“Yeah, it's northwest of here. Just follow the path until it ends!”
–Jowee Jowee explaining to the Hero where the Snow Gate is.
“Just walk up to the gate and push it open!”

“I don't want to hear about the Snow Fields... They were probably... *sigh*
Unbelievable...
Unimaginable...
Incredible...”

... forget I said anything.”

ya know like a sidekick?”
–Jowee
“I still think the creator should have drawn a giant reflecter dish...”
–Jowee
“A whale?! And you didn't let me come?!
You've gotta let me come with you on your next adventure!”
–Jowee
“I need to find Mari a gift! Better than what Isaac found...”

It's a flow-
Hi Mari!”

–Jowee
“Rapo! A pirate ship!”
–Jowee After the docks are cleared.

–Jowee
“You can do it, Hero!”
–Jowee Jowee right before Wilfre is fought.
“You're amazing, Hero...”
–Jowee After Wilfre is defeated.

“It's not your fault Mari! It's Wilfre's and you know it is!”
–Jowee
“I can't believe I dropped the pendant!”
–Jowee Jowee before the Hero finds Heather's pendant in Forgotten Library.
“Yeah, it was no problem for a trained adventurer like me.”
–Jowee Jowee upon the return of the Promise Conch.
“I don't do baby stuff...”
–Jowee Jowee when asked by Miles to go play.
“Oh, I'm sorry... it's just when someone comes in I always expect it to be...”
–Jowee Jowee after Mari goes missing
“All right an adventure!”
–Jowee
“Wow... Nice diggz. I bet our whole village could live there and there would still be plenty of room!”
–Jowee Jowee commenting on Rose's mansion
“Hey! Get back to work!”
–Jowee
“I couldn't go without you...”
–Jowee
“. . .And when it's done, we'll have another crazy story to tell our ki-
Umm...”
–Jowee
“Go on, maybe they know something about Mari or Heather!
Me? I, uh... I'm shy. And definitely not afraid of him.”
–Jowee Jowee telling the hero to talk to Kaihe
“There's gotta be some reason they don't want us to meet the council... And I have a hunch of who's behind it.”
–Jowee Jowee being suspicious of Click
“If this is outer space... where are all the stars?
Sigh... The last ime I saw the stars was when I was on the moonlit deck with Mari.
Hero, I don't suppose you could return the color to the heavens?”
–Jowee Jowee asking the Hero to restore color to the stars.
“I know it's stupid, but let's just go along with this.
This is ab-----solutely the last time!”
–Jowee Jowee going along with Click's demands to activate the generators.
“Mari I know you did what you thought was right... but now it's time to do.. what is really right...”
–Jowee
| |
“An adventure! At last! Are you ready to go, Hero? I'm comin' with!”
–Jowee
“It's Zsasha's mask! What's this doing here? I've never seen Zsasha without it!
We need to return to the village and tell Mari. I think this is... a clue!”
–Jowee Upon finding Zsasha's mask in Jangala Floor.
“I know! Crazy, right?! Maybe he stole his own mask! Wait... that doesn't make sense.
Maybe the bridge stole HIM! Nah... still doesn't make sense.”
–Jowee Jowee trying to figure out why Zsasha's mask was in Jangala Floor and who is stealing from the village.
“That monkey tail is awesome! With it, you can swing through the jungle and find Zsasha!”
–Jowee Jowee commenting on The Hero's new tail in Jangala Climb.
“Those don't look like Raposa tracks. Those look like... your tracks, Hero! You're the thief! I knew it!
Oh, wait... Those are from earlier. But here are the thief's tracks. And they aren't Raposa, either!
They look like monkey tracks! Let's get to the bottom of this... monkey business! I've always wanted to say that.”
–Jowee After Farmer Brown points out muddy footprints leading to Jangala Gate.
“You know, no one has seen the Monkey King in years. What if he doesn't WANT visitors?”
–Jowee
“Shadow Labyrinth. That does NOT sound like a place I want to go to.”
–Jowee
“WHAT? SERIOUSLY? You're kidding, right?!
But, but... I... Oh, Rapo. Ok. I'll do it.”
–Jowee Jowee upon being told to go to Wilfre's Lair.
“Hey! Come back here when I'm yelling at you!”
–Jowee Jowee after seeing a shadowy figure in the level Shadow Palace
“Oh, Rapo. You want me to go with Hero, don't you?”
–Jowee
“It's n..n..not so b..b..bad.”
–Jowee Jowee when it begins to snow in the village.
“What the Rapo? That gear head will never survive out there! He doesn't even have fur!”
–Jowee Upon hearing that Mike went to go find the Eternal Furnace in the Icy Gates.
“Thanks, Mike. For someone with short ears you're not so weird after all!”
–Jowee Upon Mike discovering the location of the Eternal Furnace.
“The Creator drew wings once before! Maybe we can get help again!”
–Jowee Jowee referencing the Wings creation from the first game.
“Wow! Flying is amazing! Let's head back to the village to see where we go next.”
–Jowee Jowee commenting on The Hero's new Wings in Sky Arch Mountains.
“Whew! I never knew all this adventuring could be such hard work!”
–Jowee
“So much for taking a break!”
–Jowee
“Oooh! That Wilfre! And I was really looking forward to attending that feast too!”
–Jowee
“Whew! Those last few shadow creatures were pretty tough!
Those must be the last of them, right? Please say I'm right...”
–Jowee Jowee after the completion of The Drifting Isles
“Did she just call Wilfre her "snookums?"”
–Jowee Jowee after hearing Circi call Wilfre her "snookums".
“Oh, Rapo! I can't believe we fell for her act!”
–Jowee Jowee after seeing Circi's true colors.
“We were all fooled, but at least the village is safe, right? Because you led us, Mayor Mari.”
–Jowee
“All we can do, Mari. Stick by our friends and try to live good lives.
And have great parties once in a while. Those are the only adventure I want for a loooooong time.
Come on. I think Cookie still has a feast waiting for us!”
–Jowee After Mari asks what the Raposa should do.
“Our celebration is bittersweet, but our adventure has been grand, don't you think?”
–Jowee
| |
“Aha! I knew you were plotting something secret!”
–Jowee Jowee after listening in on Mari's conversation with the Hero.
“Mari...Why didn't you tell me the Hero was back?”
–Jowee
“You promised me you'd tell me everything... I guess that promise didn't mean anything, huh!?”
–Jowee
“Sure, Mari...”
–Jowee After Mari tells him she needed more time.
“En garde Hero! I've been training with Zsasha... I can take on anyone!”
–Jowee Jowee challenging the Hero to a fight.
“I don't know what you just did... but I feel kinda different.”
–Jowee After completing Jowee's Next Adventure.
“That's Ok Mari! If I wasn't so hungry, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so upset.”
–Jowee Jowee revealing the reason he was upset.
“It's just that Chef Cookie stopped making his famous Banya Scones...
And I've been cravin' them like you wouldn't believe!
Hero I bet you could convince him to make his Banya Scones again!”
–Jowee
“Oh... Hmmm...
Well maybe something is up that you can help with? It wouldn't hurt to ask, right?”
–Jowee Jowee suggesting the Hero sort things out with Cookie after Mari turns his idea down.
“He did? Really? Hand it over!”
–Jowee Jowee being given a scone.
“But... You haven't tasted... They're glorious!
Here ya go.”
–Jowee After Mari tells Jowee it's just a pastry.
“PRETTY GOOD?!
It's... the BEST Scone ever baked.”
–Jowee After Mari tells Jowee the scone's pretty good.
“Yea! We should ask the Creator to Draw a really cool watch for Mike.
One of a kind! One that'll convince him to come back to Rapoville.”
–Jowee Jowee explaining his idea of what to give Mike.
“I bet Mike is gonna love it!”
–Jowee After drawing the Watch
“Hey! It's Mike!
Mike's back!”
–Jowee After Mike return to Rapoville.
“Welcome back Mike… We all missed you!”
–Jowee
“You still won’t tell me how you figured that out!”
–Jowee After Mari explains the Shadow seeped into Belleview.
“You being real is just as weird!”
–Jowee After Mike questions how Rapoville is real.
“Hero, have you given Mike the watch yet?”
–Jowee Jowee suddenly remembering the watch.
“Yeah! The Creator drew it for you!
It will allow you to speed up time, and move between realms, just like the Hero!”
–Jowee
“You can! Hero will give it to ya!”
–Jowee After Mike wishes he could take the watch with him to Belleview.
“Go talk to Crazy Barks if you’re up for a challenge.”
–Jowee After Mari tells Mike to build Imagination Power.
“His imagination is pretty wild...
He told me about that one time...”
–Jowee
“Hey Hero! Where’s Mike?”
–Jowee After the Hero returns following Mike's blowout.
“Uh… Yea I’ve been there. Being a good friend can be hard sometimes.”
–Jowee
“He’s just being a big baby, but I’m sure he’ll come around.
Maybe you should tell him that. That’s sure to get him moving!”
–Jowee
“He should ask her on an Adventure.
Nothing says friendship more than spending time in the middle of the wilderness!”
–Jowee
“Mari! Don’t sneak up on me like that!”
–Jowee After Mari interupts Jowee's conversation with the Hero.
“Hey...”
–Jowee After Mari says Jowee gives the worst advice.
“HEY!”
–Jowee After Mari jokingly startles him.
“I thought maybe you could talk to Heather?”
–Jowee Jowee suggesting another idea to the Hero.
“She might know a little more. Tell her that I said hello!”
–Jowee
“Ah... That's too bad.”
–Jowee After Mari explains it might not be possible.
“Maybe Hero will figure out a way for us to visit the human realm! That would be an amazing adventure.”
–Jowee
“Aww... I was hoping to see her again.”
–Jowee After the Hero breaks it to Jowee that Heather doesn't remember the Raposa.
“Missing? Portal? Yikes. Big yikes.”
–Jowee After the Hero explained Mike returned to Rapoville secretly.
“Sure! First stop, Lavasteam district! Let’s go Hero!”
–Jowee After Mari asks Jowee to help the Hero look for Mike.
“I’ve had a good look all around here. King Miney is nowhere to be found.”
–Jowee After Jowee meets the Hero at the Lavasteam District.
“Do you remember our adventure in Lavasteam?”
–Jowee
“I asked Mari if we could install a minecart roller coaster in the Village!
It would be so fun! But she said no.”
–Jowee
“After our adventure, Raposa from other regions set up districts here in our Village.”
–Jowee Jowee explaining the Village Districts.
“They wanted a place to stay when they visited! Some even live here all the time!”
–Jowee
“King Miney!”
–Jowee Jowee greeting Miney.
“Um... no.”
–Jowee After Miney attempts to recruit Jowee.
“Maybe you better talk to him.
Before Mari finds out and kicks him out of the Village.”
–Jowee Jowee asking the Hero to deal with Miney.
“Mining Operation?”
–Jowee After Miney reveals the rebuilding of the mining operation.
“I don’t think harassing Rapo’s is the right way to go about it.”
–Jowee
“You should run that idea by Mari! She’ll know what to do!”
–Jowee After Miney suggests a job fair.
“Oh! King Miney! Wait!”
–Jowee Jowee suddenly remembering Mike.
“We’re looking for a super weird lookin’ Raposa... with strange, itty bitty, tiny ears. Have you seen him?”
–Jowee
“Thanks King Miney!”
–Jowee After Miney tells Jowee and the Hero where Mike went.
“I’ll meet ya over at the Galactic Jungle District!”
–Jowee
“I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal...”
–Jowee As Click is venting about the Galactic Jungle election.
“Hey Hero! Vote for Click!”
–Jowee
“I’m pretty sure bribery is not legal.”
–Jowee After Click asks Jowee what Mari likes.
“This obsession over the election needs some sorting out!”
–Jowee
“You can always ask her for it.”
–Jowee After Click states he still wants Mari's endorsement.
“Hey Click... we could use your help.
We’re looking for a Raposa with no ears at all!
Have you seen them around?”
–Jowee Jowee asking Click if he's seen Mike.
“Thanks a whole bunch! We will!”
–Jowee After Click suggests Mike could be at the Watersong District.
“Well, one more district to go. Let’s meet up at Watersong!”
–Jowee
“Miles!”
–Jowee Jowee finding Miles.
“I couldn’t find you anywhere... I looked all over!”
–Jowee
“Hey wapo... Rose would be proud of you!”
–Jowee Jowee trying to comfort Miles.
“Hero... We need to help Miles!
He could use a little pick me up right about now.”
–Jowee Jowee asking the Hero to sort Miles out.
“Maybe the Creator can help. They always know what to do!”
–Jowee After Miles admits he's lonely.
“Friends are always there for each other, silly Rapo!”
–Jowee
“That’s an interesting name, Miles.”
–Jowee After Miles names his Pet YoYaYa.
“We’re trying to find a Raposa with no ears.
We were told you might know where they could be.
Have you seen anyone like that here?”
–Jowee Jowee asking Miles if he saw Mike.
“That must be Mike! Let’s go!”
–Jowee
“Thank you Miles! You’re a life-saver!”
–Jowee
“That’s crazy talk! You don’t mean that!”
–Jowee After Mike states he wishes he didn't survive the car crash.
“Wilfre!?”
–Jowee After Mari reveals Wilfre was helping her.
“Uh... Hero... This isn’t so good.”
–Jowee After Mari runs out of the Watersong house in guilt.
“Let’s find Mari first, then we’ll track down Mike later.”
–Jowee
“My... Offer?”
–Jowee After Mari reminds him of his offer to go on an adventure with him.
“You’re supposed to be our Mayor!
And my friend!”
–Jowee After Mari reveals she wants to venture away from Rapoville.
“Mari! Are you ok?”
–Jowee After completing Leader Astray.
“I hope Hero didn’t go TOO easy on you!”
–Jowee
“Then defeat Aldark!”
–Jowee After Mari reminds the Hero to defeat the Shadow.
“Hero! I’m so glad you’re back!
Did you defeat Aldark?”
–Jowee After the Hero returns to Rapoville upon defeating Aldark.
“Mari... I... Uh...”
–Jowee After Wilfre finishes his monologue to Mari and leaves the village.
“Hi Mari!”
–Jowee Jowee sneaking up on Mari at the Secret Beach.
“I’m sorry... I can come back later.”
–Jowee
“Oh yea, I like the beach too.”
–Jowee After Mari says this is her favorite spot in the world.
“Will you marry me?”
–Jowee Jowee proposing to Mari.
“I asked the Creator to design the most amazing ring...”
–Jowee
“I'm so excited you're back...”
–Jowee Jowee's Early-Game Dialogue
