–Athys
Athys is a character that doesn't appear in any games formally, but rather in the short story, Circi Loves Wilfre. She is Circi's grandmother and the primary antagonist.
Appearance
In her Raposa form, Athys has orange fur and curly, pink hair, wears a dark red blouse and dark pants. She also carries a cane with her for stability.
In her Shadow form, Athys' hair grows longer and turns grey, while she dons a dark red tank top and grey pants. Her body is covered in Shadow, and her eyes glow white.
Story
Athys is first seen when she, Circi, and Percate leave Shadow City to seek refuge in Rapoville. They are met by the Mayor, Wilfre, and Wilfre's father Steven. The six of them head to Percate's new home and settle in.
Sixteen years later, Wilfre gets told by the Mayor to not draw in the Book of Life, and Wilfre angrily goes home. When he gets there, he finds Athys waiting for him inside. She gives him a journal and asks him to get the Book of Life from Creation Hall. He returns with the book, and she asks him for the Pen Percate had given him 16 years ago. He hands her the pen she shoves him out of the way, taking the Book of Life and drawing in it. She explains that she returned to Shadow City earlier in her life, was killed, and reborn again as a Shadow being. She draws in the Book, creating more Shadow, and then leaves to return to the Ink Factory.
Circi and Wilfre eventually make their way to the Ink Factory and lure Athys out of the building. She berates Wilfre for telling the truth and then attacks the two with Shadow. Circi and Wilfre, using their earring and pen respectively, channel the Shadow and attack Athys, turning her into a giant Shadow monster. The two run away back to Shadow City's Outer Walls, and Athys follows them. As Circi disappears, Athys grabs Wilfre, steals his pen, and drags him back into the city.
Athys tells Wilfre about his plan to overthrow the Creator, and forces Wilfre to help him. He tells Wilfre about four generals that he needs to corrupt - The Icy Dragon, Frostwind, The Ancient Tree, Deadwood, The Giant Fish, Angler King, and The Armored Giant, Scorpion.
After Wilfre is defeated at the hands of the Hero, Circi returns to the Ink Factory to kill Boss after breaking their vow to protect Wilfre. However, Circi finds that Athys has been killed, and is told to collect the Artifacts of Power to resurrect her and Wilfre. She is presumably resurrected by Circi during the events of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii) and subsequently killed by the Hero once more.
After Circi discovers the ghosts of Wilfre's Wasteland, Athys, one of the many ghosts, promises Circi that everything will be alright.
