Antoni (Polish Series)

Antoni Napół (1941-1979) is a ghost of a primary school teacher who was running a school trip to the House Of The Poniatowski Family in Dominowojo's Polish series of Ghosts. 
== Personality ==
In life, Antoni was quite humble. Humbleness was what made him an optimistic person who was full of positivity. He was a literal beacon of joy. When he worked at St. Odrab's Primary School, Antoni was friendly to his colleagues and his students which made him a loved person there. He was very encouraging for his students too, giving them a happy mindset. Many of the children he taught remembered him as one of, or the best teacher they ever had.
Antoni wasn't the best when it came to flirting - he was known amongst his friends for that. He managed to ask out his future wife when he was a teenager, but she was secretly helping Antoni so it was easier for him. They then got married as adults, and they truly loved each other until Antoni's death. His wife did then remarry him for his best friend, but she never forgot about her love for Antoni and Antoni did reveal that he was alright with her remarrying as a ghost. 
Antoni is still a very positive person even though he is dead. The only times when his natural happiness withers is when he thinks about his gruesome death and his family, friends and students who he misses - he misses his family the most, even though they visit his memorial at his death place once a year. 
== Appearance ==
In life, Antoni liked to wear a simple buttoned tartan shirt and comfortable-looking jeans with a belt. He wore neatly tied shoes, too. He was quite humble when it came to clothing.
During his death he wore clothes much like what he usually wore before, but his death gave him his most significant feature: his legs being separated from his body.
Antoni has dark brown hair with a small goatee of the same colour.
== Life ==
In his teenage years, Antoni started dating his future wife. He was bad at impressing girls, but his shyness and happy personality is what made his wife fall in love with him (she had to help him to ask her out secretly though). When Antoni was an adult, their loving relationship turned into marriage. They truly loved each other all those years.
Some time after their wedding, Antoni got a job as a Year 3 teacher at St. Odrąb's Primary School where he was loved by many of the students. They liked him for his overall joyful outlook on life and his great supportiveness of everyone. In 1979 after teaching many generations of students, Antoni took his class on a school trip to the House Of The Poniatowski Family. There, he saw two axes hanging from a wall. Antoni thought that a sign next to them said that they you were allowed to touch them but the sign was covered by a cloth that was from polishing the axes which didn't let him see the whole sentence that would've saved his life. So Antoni took a chair, stood on it and tried to get the axes off the wall. He managed to do that, but the unexpected weight of the axes overwhelmed him and he fell off the chair. Once he dropped to the floor, his legs were no longer joined to the rest of his body - the axes sliced Antoni in half during the fall. Even though he was running out of life through every breath, he still tried to dial the ambulance and calm his class, but once he got a reply from the telephone, Antoni was now no longer alive.
== Death ==
Antoni started being a ghost from the state he died in. This means his first moments of haunting the House Of The Poniatowski Family were with him not being joined up to his legs. When Antoni saw his horrific sliced body, he tried to attach himself to his legs again, but unexpectedly, the ghost of his legs got out of their physical form and ran off from Antoni. His top half then tried to move without its legs but instead of moving, Antoni fell on the floor and struggled to get up. After some time when all the house's tourists (including Antoni's class) evacuated, the ghost of Józek found Antoni and dragged him to the living room where the other ghosts at the time were, them being Ogór, Helmut, Beata, Zdzichu and Andrzej. The five were all standing in the corner of the room because they were scared by the legs of Antoni which they have never seen before at all. They got even more terrified when Józek brought in the legs' top half. 
Antoni got friendly with the ghosts in a matter of days. The others thought it was strange that Antoni was still so positive about everything even though he died with such a gruesome way. They did get charmed by his happiness though and he was a liked member of the house. The only things he wasn't so happy with was his legs constantly running away from him, but on a good day, he would be lucky enough to find them and keep them on for at least a few hours to move around more easily, but they would inevitably find a chance to escape from him. This happened so often and he had his legs on so rarely that Antoni had learned to walk with the help of his arms over time and by over 40 years since dying he was able to do it nearly without difficulty.
After a week since his death, Antoni's wife came over to the house to discuss the death of her husband with the House Of The Poniatowski Family's owner during the time. Antoni became more emotional but happier than ever when he saw his wife and became struck with excitement when she asked if she could make a memorial of him on the house grounds and visit it with her family, to which the owner gave her permission to do. The memorial was a tree stump at the entrance of the house and Antoni's wife kept her promise by visiting it with her family once or twice a year. The second time his wife visited the stump she remarried for Antoni's best friend. Antoni thought this was alright though, since he knew she still loved him, he really like his friend and his friend made her happy. From that time on they visited Antoni's memorial annually. Last time they visited it was in the episode "Och Cholefka". 
== Relationships ==
=== His Wife ===
Antoni's wife loved him the most out of anyone he knew - even his loyal friends and his admiring students couldn't match her love for him. She helped Antoni ask her out in their teenage years since he was infamous to be shy with girls. They later got married between the 50s and 60s and which only boosted their special bond. Naturally, Antoni's unpredictable death was the worst thing that ever happened to her and it took her a week to recover from crying about him before she visited his death place. There, in the presence of Antoni's ghost who was very happy to see her again, she discussed his death with the owner of the land he died on at the time and was given permission to have a memorial of him on the House Of The Poniatowski Family's grounds which she visited each year with her family and her new husband who was Antoni's best friend who he felt happy for marrying her. Still after she remarried, she never forgot about the man she loved all those years ago.
=== His Legs ===
Antoni's legs have been running away from the rest of his body's reach ever since Antoni died, making them a literal running gag. He gets annoyed when they do this and he barely sees them. When he does though, he tries his best to catch them and put them on so he can move around easier but instead he has to walk on his arms since he mostly sees his legs only once or twice a week (and they still run away during these times).
== Notes ==
* Antoni is Dominowojo's version of Pat based on his positivity, and also has an aspect of Humphrey, due to the fact that Antoni's legs keep running away from his other half like Humphrey's body keeps avoiding its own head.
* His surname "Napół" is a portmanteu of "Na pół" meaning "In half", which is how his body went.
* The name of the saint his school is named after, "Odrąb", loosely means to "cut off", another reference to his death.
*"Och Cholefka" is Antoni's catchphrase, an exclamation he says during the rare moments when he gets annoyed, especially when his legs run away from him.
