Pinocchio



Gepetto was a famous woodcarver who travelled all over for his work. On one such trip, Gepetto was helping a mysterious client whittle an intricate Spinwheel when he heard of the tragedy that had struck his town. A maniac had kidnapped a large number of children for ransom. When the townsfolk refused to pay, he let the children drown themselves. By the time Gepetto made it back home, he was too late. He had lost his only son. Shortly after, Gepetto's wife quickly became ill and died of depression.

Overcome with grief, Gepetto concentrated on his woodwork. Using the strange wood the Spinwheel client gifted him, he started to carve a wooden boy, seeing images of his son as he worked. He lost concentration and injured himself, causing him to bleed. As he bled, he cried. Tears and blood began to seep into the wooden figure. Suddenly the boy began to speak, which caused Gepetto to have a heart attack that sent him into a deep coma. When the townsfolk heard the commotion, they saw the bloody wooden boy and thought the monstrosity had tried to kill Gepetto.

Confused and scared, Pinocchio ran. Because he was the product of the Enchanted Forest, he felt himself pulled there. Upon arrival, he met the Fairy Godmother who eased his confusion by telling him that in order to make things right, he had to go on a quest to find his true identity. He would get what his heart desires if and only if he proves to be worthy, pure, good, and has the quality of a hero. However, if he follows the wrong path, darkness would consume him. Pinocchio accepted the quest and began his journey to discover who he really was. Unfortunately, he didn't really know if he wanted to be good or Mia and Jiminy Bunny So as he travelled the forest, he began to balance good with evil, instilling fear and hope wherever he went.
