## Will Cipher

**Will Cipher** is the reverse counterpart of Bill Cipher. He is a minor character in *Reverse Falls: The Game*.

## Appearance

Will Cipher is a triangular dream demon with periwinkle skin, brick lines on the lower half of his body, a single eye in the middle of his face, visible eyelashes, white sclera, and a black pupil that is either shaped like an oval or a slit. He has thin black arms and legs, and he has four fingers on each hand, while his feet do not have toes on them. He wears a black tophat that floats slightly above his non-discernible head (so he's technically not actually wearing it), and a black bowtie on his brick lines. He also hovers above the ground (since he's capable of flight). If the light from his off-screen appearance to defeat the Mothman is any indication, Will also has a blue glowing effect around his body.

Will is also given a humanized design, which is only seen in Mike Inel's April Fool's trailer for *Reverse Falls: The Game*. In this form, he has light skin, short and spiky light blue hair with a visible widow's peak, white sclera, one of his eyes covered by a triangular eyepatch, and black eyes. He retains his hat and tie that he wears in his default form. The sides of his head are shaved, revealing black natural hair underneath the parts that are not shaved. For his outfit, he wears a dark gray shirt with vertical lines and buttons on the center and a shirt collar, a blue sleeveless coat with white accents and a black button to hold both sides of the coat together, and black gloves. Since the asset of his humanized design does not depict his full body, it is unknown what he wears on his lower body in this form.

## Personality

Not much is known about Will's personality, due to his limited screentime and only appearing at the end of the demo and making an off-screen appearance in Chapter 0, but it is likely that he is lonely and wonders if someone is there to comfort him. As seen in his additional sprite with tears in his singular eye, it is implied that he is sad about him being lost in the mindscape. He is paranoid when around strangers, such as the Mothman, and advises others that touching him is a bad idea, as someone could get hurt by the powers that he wields. When he was asked by a fan in the 2018 Q&A about what that they think him being the Gleeful twins' pet is like, Will angrily states that he is *not* a "pet". He also worries if others would hurt him.

## Powers and Abilities

Will Cipher has supernatural powers that he uses throughout the game, but the ones that he harnesses are not as plentiful as Bill's.

* **Flight** - Will hovers above the ground, as he rarely ever stands on his own two feet. Since both of his sprites used in the game's demo are seen moving slightly, it can be assumed that he is floating at all times. He can fly at a very fast speed, as evident when he quickly flees from the scene after electrocuting the Mothman in Chapter 0.
* **Shape-shifting** - He is seen in a humanized form in the April Fool's trailer for the visual novel, which implies that he can able to change his appearance in an instant.
* **Electrokinesis** - Will Cipher fries the Mothman into a tiny pile of moths, after the latter was electrocuted to his possible death. The electrokinesis that Will uses against his enemies seems to be very strong, as the Mothman suffered immensely.

## Relationships

### Mabel and Dipper Gleeful

Will is not seen interacting with the Gleeful twins at any point in the game's demo. However, Dipper mentions that Will is friends with him. Mabel and Dipper like to play games with Will Cipher. When Bill was mistaken for Will by the twins in the demo for *Reverse Falls: The Game*, Dipper and Mabel told the former to shut up and he briefly wasn't given a chance to speak. This might indicate that the twins might have something against Will, and they do not always get along with him (especially when his status as a dream demon is taken into consideration). Will also mentions in a reply to a question in the 2018 Q&A that it is true that they should be nicer to him.

## Trivia

* He speaks with the same creepy high-pitched voice as Bill, complete with a reverb effect.
* Will is referred to as an "it" (instead of a "he"), when Dipper answered a question regarding what he thinks of the former in the 2023 Q&A. This could be a mistake, when the responses for the voice actor questions in the video were written.
* Unlike a majority of fanon depictions based on Will Cipher, this one is not utterly helpless, as he is at least capable of using his god-like abilities to defend himself in the game.
