The '''Mayor''' is a major character in the [[Drawn to Life series]], appearing as a main character in the original ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' and making cameo appearances in every other installment in the series. The Mayor is [[Mari]]'s father, and was the seventh mayor of [[Rapoville]]. He was one of the last villagers to remain in Rapoville when the [[Darkness]] crept in, and he was instrumental in helping the [[Hero]] defeat [[Wilfre]]. He was killed by Wilfre shortly before his defeat, although he did remain as a ghost that only the Hero could see. As a ghost, he watched over Mari and [[Jowee]], and also helped the Hero defeat Wilfre when he was revived.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story==
Before the events of ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', The Mayor is known to have eventually reached the time where it was his job to become the leader of the village. He babysat [[Indee]] when Indee's father went on adventures. When [[Mari]] was born, The Mayor took good care of her as his daughter. Soon, she made best friends with [[Jowee]]. Jowee didn't have any parents, which led to The Mayor being the closest fatherly figure he had. The Mayor was very protective over the Book of Life and defended it. However, he was fooled by [[Wilfre]] who went into [[Creation Hall]], stole the Book of Life, and later tore up the pages. The Mayor watched the village fall until only him, Mari and Jowee were left in [[Rapoville]].
Before the events of ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', many years before [[Mari]] was born, Mayor had forbade [[Wilfre]], a popular [[Raposa]], from drawing in the [[Book of Life]]. When Wilfre snuck into [[Creation Hall]] and stole the Book of Life, accidentally creating the [[Shadow]], Mayor and Cricket chased after him, demanding the Book back. However, Wilfre tore the pages from the Book of Life, scattering them in the wind. Mayor would watch as the [[Creator]] sealed Creation Hall and abandoned the village, allowing the [[Darkness]] to creep into the village. The villagers began to leave until only the Mayor, Mari, [[Jowee]], and [[Isaac]]'s family were left.

In ''Drawn to Life'', the Mayor is first seen trying to convince [[Isaac]] and [[Mya]], Isaac's wife, to stay in the village. Distraught, they leave to search for their daughter [[Cindi]], who went missing. The Mayor didn't believe Mari when she told him that [[The Creator]] had spoken to her, so he abandoned the village and left to go to the [[Snow Fields]] in order to find Isaac and Mya. When The [[Hero]] rescues him, The Mayor regrets not believing in Mari and returns to the village. The Mayor then takes it upon himself to rescue the village from the [[Darkness]]. Throughout the game, he works with The Hero to save the village and defeat Wilfre.
In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', the Mayor is first seen trying to convince [[Isaac]] and [[Mya]] to stay in the village, despite the fact that their daughter, [[Cindi]], had gone missing. He is unable to convince them to stay, even when Mari arrives to tell them that the Creator had returned. No one besides [[Jowee]] believes her, and Mayor ends up leaving for [[Snow Fields]] to find Isaac and Mya. However, he gets captured in a [[Shadow Cage]] but is rescued by the [[Hero]]. This event causes the Mayor to believe in the Creator once more, and he begins working with the Hero to restore the Raposa world and the Book of Life.
Eventually, Mayor finds Mari and the Hero inside [[Creation Hall]] reading the [[Mayor's Book]], a book that records the history of every mayor of Rapoville. After seeing the book for the first time since Creation Hall was sealed, he is overjoyed and tells Mari that she is to begin her mayoral training. She is reluctant to approach this task, but Mayor tells the Hero that she will come around. When the village festival occurs, Mayor introduces Mari, but she does not appear. He tells the Hero to find her, and they return her to the stage.
Throughout the rest of the game, the Mayor acts as an advisor to the Hero, adding pages to the Book of Life and helping direct the Hero through the game. Near the end of the game, Mayor asks the Hero to collect the [[Final Page]], a page in the Book of Life where each [[Mayor (Position)|mayor]] would have their name written by the Creator, giving them the authority over the [[Raposa]]. The Hero leaves to get this page, and while the Hero is gone, the Mayor is confronted by [[Wilfre]] near the [[Forest Gate]]. Wilfre taunts the Mayor and ultimately kills him, stealing the Book of Life from his body. The Mayor's death almost tears apart the village, but Wilfre's demise brings them together once more. The Mayor somehow lives on as a ghost, seen watching over Mari and Jowee with the Hero.
The Mayor doesn't make any appearances in-person, although he does appear in the recap segment of the first cutscene, in two paintings in Mari's House, and as a bust outside of [[Village Hall]]. He is also mentioned by Mari throughout the game.

The Mayor's spirit is not seen again until [[Wilfre's Wasteland]], when the Hero is left by themselves. The Mayor returns to guide them on destroying the barrier around Wilfre's castle, telling them to collect the three [[Village Orbs]] and the three [[Village Altars]]. Once all six items have been collected, the Mayor vanishes for the rest of the game.
