Father Widow

"I̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶d̶i̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶"

The Father Widow is one of the Bad End Friends and is the end result of Wyborn “Wybie” Lovat wandering into the Other World looking for Coraline, who by that point became the Mother Widow.

## Backstory

When Coraline did not show up after a long period of time, Wybie became concerned and looked around the Pink Palace until he eventually found the small door in what was once Coraline’s home. As if something was calling out to him, he crawled through the door and was amazed by the unusual stuff found within.

He eventually found Coraline, but she looked quite different than the last time he saw her. She offered Wybie button eyes with the hope that she wouldn’t feel alone. With this offer sounding dangerous and strange, Wybie made a mad dash for the exit, only for the energy that once came from the Beldam to start influencing his mind. The energy, which was what was left of the Beldam, made him want to stay. Eventually, he gave in, becoming something just like the Mother Widow. He became the Father Widow, with his and Coraline’s minds being morphed into something bizarre. As his mind began transforming into something unnatural, his final thoughts as the old Wybie were fixated on one thing; the incessant and bone-chilling cackling of an old woman’s voice seemingly coming from all directions.

## Profile

### Appearance

His face is reminiscent of Other Wybie’s, a deliberate choice on Mother Widow’s part as a subconscious remnant of Coraline’s old self as she was modifying Wybie’s look. This includes a permanent, almost Cheshire Cat-like grin that prevents him from showing his true emotions. Because his face is a permanent smile that can not move, he can’t eat anything, although he can still speak to people and drink water. His left eye is missing as a result of one of his violent outbursts. Like some kind of allusion to the Other Father that preceded him, Father Widow’s body is made from a plant. Rather than being made from a pumpkin, Father Widow is made from a tree with spider leg-like roots that act as legs and branches that function as stinger-like appendages. He even bleeds tree sap should he suffer certain kinds of wounds. Needles are attached to his fingers, stingers, and legs, allowing him to be quite dangerous if the situation calls for it. His body overall is very spider like or scorpion like.

### Personality

It seems that Father Widow, much like Mother Widow, inherited traits from the Other Mother as a result of the energy overtaking them both. While Mother Widow only had a tiny amount of the Beldam’s energy, Father Widow got much more of it, resulting in a very troubled, unfortunate being. The Wybie half and the Beldam half are constantly in conflict, resulting in occasional outbursts, one of which cost him one of his eyes. The experience of becoming the Father Widow made him rather upset with Coraline at first. It took a full week for them to be friends again after that, and the only reason why they became friends again was because the Bad End Friends managed to reason with them. Mother Widow has since become very supportive of Father Widow, and he has become very emotionally dependent on her to keep him stable, which is ironic due to what happened earlier. On the more positive end of things, the Beldam’s energy made him more confident after a while. However, he is often nervous that his limbs might hurt somebody. He has also been known to take pity on other people, such as Apprentice Terra.
