The '''Creator''' is the term used for the player and main deity of the [[Drawn to Life Series]]. As the name implies, they are the creator of the [[Raposa]] realm and the [[Book of Life]]. Throughout the course of the games, the Creator sends a [[Hero]] to the realm and restores the [[Color]] to the world. The Creator can speak directly to the Raposa and interact with their world, though usually with the Hero as an intermediary. Once completely devout, there was a span of time where many [[Rapoville]] Raposa did not believe in the Creator, marked by the lack of an [[Eternal Flame]].

== {{Icon|Book}} Story==
=== Before ''Drawn to Life'' ===
Long before anything existed there was the Creator, who designed the [[Book of Life]]. The Creator drew everything in the book and brought it into existence. First, the Creator formed a circle and drew the [[World]]. Then they populated the world with forests, and finally created the [[Raposa]].

Several years before [[Mari]] was born, [[Wilfre]] questioned why the Raposa were forbidden to design their own creations. He then stole the Book of Life, drawing in it and creating [[Shadow]]. When he was chased out of [[Rapoville]], he tore the book in blind fury and ruined the key pages before tossing them into the wind. The Creator grieved over this loss, and sealed off [[Creation Hall]]. Without the pages or the Creator, the village began to wither away. [[Darkness]] crept in, and the Eternal Flame flickered out.

=== ''Drawn to Life'' ===
At the very beginning of the game, [[Mari]] prays to the Creator, asking for them to return and restore the village to what it once was. They answered and instructed her to gather what villagers were left at [[Creation Hall]]. After only being able to bring [[Jowee]] to the Hall, the Creator allows them in and fills a mannequin with their presence, creating the Hero. The Creator then informs Mari that her father, the [[Mayor]], had been captured, so the Hero is sent to [[Mt. Snowy]] to rescue him.

Throughout the rest of the game, the Creator designs many things for the village, including [[Banya]], a [[Jowee's Flower|flower]] for Jowee, some [[Beach Toys]], and even the [[Secret Door|final gate]] to fight [[Wilfre]]. After Wilfre is defeated, Mari asks the Creator to sign [[Your Name|their name]] in the Book of Life while she continues to train.

=== ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)'' ===
{{NoncanonSection|boxcolor=#F29400}}
Once more, the game starts with [[Mari]] asking the Creator for a [[Hero]], as she is too overwhelmed by everything happening in the village. The Creator provides a Hero for her and helps guide them to the "stolen" [[Book of Life]], which was really being guarded by [[Crazy Barks]]. Mari's deputy mayor, [[Circi]], is an advocate for stepping away from the Creator and being more independent, amplified once [[Wilfre's Journal]] is uncovered and she begins reading it.

At the end of the game, Circi combined the [[Artifacts of Power]] to revive [[Wilfre]] but fails, ending with the Hero and Mari working together to defeat the newly created [[Giant Scribble Monster]]. After this monster is defeated, the Creator gathers the Artifacts of Power and casts them into the sea.

=== ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' ===
After [[Mari]] and [[Jowee]] notice that [[Heather]] had gone missing, they ask the Creator for a new [[Hero]]. However, before the Creator can imbue life into another mannequin, a revived [[Wilfre]] attacks, draining the [[Color]] from all of [[Rapoville]], kidnapping most of the villagers. The survivors run for the [[Docks]], only to find that [[Pirate Beard]]'s ship had been stolen, so the Creator sends them [[Turtle Rock]] to escape the village.

At the end of [[Watersong]]'s story, the Creator reveals himself to [[Rose]], [[Miles]], and [[Butler]], telling that that Rose could not pass on the [[Power of Song]] to Miles, as the village still needed her. After [[Sock]]'s betrayal, Jowee has a dream with the Creator, being told to "find the one who already knows where to go," guiding him towards [[Crazy Barks]].

The Creator is next heard after the Turtle Rock Hero is killed by Wilfre. Thanks to the prayers of the [[Raposa]], the Creator restores all the stolen color in the Raposa realm, reviving the Hero as well. After Wilfre's defeat and Heather's rescue, the Creator uses the power of the [[Eternal Flame]] to wake [[Mike]] up from his coma.

=== ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'' ===
Four years later, [[Mari]] prays to the Creator, telling them that she never wanted to be [[Mayor (Position)|mayor]] of [[Rapoville]]. After getting the [[Book of Imagination]] from the twice-revived [[Wilfre]], Mari asks the Creator for a [[Hero]], to which the Creator obliges. When Mari tells them that the new Hero doesn't look much like a [[Human]], the Creator remarks that most Humans look weird.

== {{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* According to the Australian Drawn to Life website, The Creator likes and dislikes whatever the player chooses. As "You decide what you like and dislike!!"
** However, it also claims that The Creator dislikes Wilfre and Shadow Creatures.
* The Creator is revealed to be God during the ending of ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]''.
* [[Wilfre]], the Creator, and [[Heather]] are the only three beings initially aware of the fact that the [[Raposa]] world is a dream by [[Mike]].
** When speaking to Wilfre, the Creator says, “You will not have him. He will fight you. He will win, he is not yours to control.” Wilfre then replies, “…You don’t care about us! Only him...” Also, whilst being pulled into one of Wilfre’s portals, Heather says, “Kemi-Kewa, you must stop Wilfre! Kemi-Kewa!!” "Kemi-Kewa" is an anagram for “Wake Mike.”
*** Interestingly, Mike himself was never aware of the Raposa world being a dream.
* The Creator is one of the few characters in ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' to speak in the main story but not have a story Imagination Battle.
** The other characters in this category are [[Wilfre]], [[Teo]], and [[Cricket]].
*** Of these, the Creator and Wilfre are the only characters to have no Imagination Battles whatsoever.
* The Creator has an unused line of dialogue in ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'' where they explains that they made it so the [[Human]]s see the Hero as a Human.
** ''"Don’t worry, I've made it so that they'll see Hero as human."''
