'''Michael Robert Row'''<ref>[[File:MikeName.png|100px]]</ref>, more commonly known as '''Mike''', is a [[Human]] that was trapped in the [[Raposa]] realm due to a car crash. Once in the Raposa world, he was captured by [[Wilfre]] and trapped in [[Rapocity]]. After being saved by the [[Hero]], Mike went on to live in [[Rapoville]] with the rest of the Raposa. Eventually, when Wilfre was revived, Mike was once of the few villagers to not be kidnapped and board [[Turtle Rock]]. He would travel with [[Jowee]] and the rest of the survivors, eventually docking at [[Wilfre's Wasteland]]. He stayed with Jowee and the villagers while the Hero fought Wilfre again, even praying to the [[Creator]] to give the Hero strength. Afterwards, when Wilfre was defeated, the Creator used the power of the [[Eternal Flame]] to wake Mike from his coma, returning him to the human realm.

As he woke up in his hometown of [[Belleview]], he was slowly returned to full health. He learned that unfortunately, both of his parents had passed, so he and his sister - Heather - moved in with [[Uncle Owen]]. At the funeral, Mike unknowingly watched as [[Aldark]] began his conquest of Belleview. Over the next four years, Mike made a full recovery. After returning to full health, Mike was brought back into Rapoville when Mike was made aware of Aldark's scheme. Unconvinced that he was awake, he and the Hero travelled back and forth between realms, culminating with Mike confronting both [[Deputy Snyder]] - the other driver involved in his parent's accident - and Aldark. After these confrontations, Mike returned to a normal life in Belleview.

=={{Icon|BigHeart}} Personality==
Mike's personality isn't deeply looked into in the first two games. It is explained that he is nice, according to what the Raposa have said. He is shown to have a lot of faith in people, seeing as he is the only character on [[Turtle Rock]] who didn't go straight to giving up when [[Wilfre]] threw [[Heather's Pendant]] away into the ocean. He is shown to be caring and capable of understanding different perspectives, as he did consider Wilfre's intentions in ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'' to be decent. In ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'', Mike is shown to be compassionate to those in his community, specifically [[Aly]]. He is the main interest of [[Aldark]] and due to the crash, he shows resentment towards [[Deputy Snyder]], the driver of the other vehicle. Throughout the game, he is the only character besides the [[Hero]] known to be able to travel between realms.

=={{Icon|Tower}} Appearance ==
Mike is a young human boy with spiky blonde hair. He wears a grey jacket, a white t-shirt, blue pants and sneakers. He has blue eyes.

=={{Icon|Book}} Story ==
===Before Drawn to Life===
Mike grew up in [[Belleview]] with her parents and older sister, [[Heather]]. Eventually, a travelling carnival was invited to visit the town, so the family went to visit. While at the carnival, the kids had won two plush animals resembling [[Mari]] and [[Jowee]]. On their way home, a heavy storm began, and that, along with an unpaved road and some reckless driving, caused a major car accident between the family and [[Deputy Snyder]], killing Mike's parents, severely injuring Heather, and putting Mike in a coma.

{{NoncanonSection|boxcolor=#4890e8}}
In later prints of ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'' and in all prints of ''[[Drawn to Life Collection]]'', this story was changed. Mike's family was camping in the woods, when Mike began to climb a tree to catch fireflies. However, the tree branch he was on began to snap, and he fell to the ground, passing out. After the events of the games occur, Mike wakes up from the Raposa world and contines camping. The events of ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'' do not follow these events.

=== ''Drawn to Life'' ===
Now in a comatose state and holding onto his memory of the [[Jowee]] doll, Mike was transported to the [[Raposa]] realm, now appearing older, alongside his sister, who was somehow transformed into a Raposa. He was eventually captured by [[Wilfre]] and is left in [[Rapocity]], where the [[Hero]] finds him and two [[Generic Raposa Characters|RapoKids]]. The four of them return to [[Rapoville]], where Mike is introduced to [[Mari]], who asks what happened to his ears. Mike responds that nothing is wrong with his ears and that he doesn't know where he is. He then leaves to see the [[Mayor]], who welcomes Mike into the village. Mike is convinced that he is dreaming, and begins to wonder when he'll wake up.

After [[Wilfre]] is defeated, he meets with [[Dr. Cure]], who examines his human ears, remarking that she's never seen anything like them. She then refers him to [[Isaac]], saying that Isaac could probably make him a set of fake ears. She promises to keep researching his ears, annoying Mike and prompting him to walk away.

=== ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)'' ===
{{NoncanonSection|boxcolor=#4890e8}}
During the events of ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]'', Mike becomes the technician of the village and is in charge of maintaining the [[Lighthouse (DTL)|Lighthouse]]. During the first half of the game, Mike is away on unknown business. However, when the [[Hero]] and [[Jowee]] are exploring [[The Baldy Slopes]], Mike returns to [[Rapoville]]. [[Mari]] explains the events that have happened thus far, and tells him that Jowee and the Hero are searching for the [[Eternal Furnace]]. After this, Mike runs off into the [[Icy Wastes]], and the Hero must rescue him.

When Jowee and the Hero find him using the [[Frozenini]], he seems to be unaffected by the cold. He tells the two that he had a dream that he would find the Furnace if he sought it out. The three return to the village and Mike marks the location of the Furnace on their map. After this, Mike will stand outside the lighthouse on the far left side of the village. He does not offer any sort of challenges for the player. He can be talked to and will typically make programming jokes or tell the Hero about how welcoming the [[Raposa]] were to him. He typically ends his talks with "You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?"

=== ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' ===
Mike is present when [[Wilfre]] returns to drain [[Color]] from [[Rapoville]] and kidnap the villagers. Mike is one of the few people to not be kidnapped, and as the color drains from Rapoville, he escapes onto [[Turtle Rock]]. Mike stays on the ship, helping the group move forward while they search for [[Heather]], whom Wilfre had kidnapped. While the group is docked in [[Lavasteam]], Mike tries to explore the village, but is ambushed by [[Robosa]], so he runs back to the ship until the end of the game.

When the group arrives at [[Wilfre's Wasteland]], Mike watches as Jowee asks the [[Creator]] to restore color to the world. Wilfre then kidnaps Jowee to explain why [[Mari]] defected to his side earlier in the game. This kidnapping scares Mike, and the others, back onto Turtle Rock, where they wait until right before the final battle with Wilfre. After Jowee is released from the [[Hall of Darkness]], he continues to stand up to Wilfre. When Mike asks him what Wilfre showed him, Jowee simply deflects the question. Later, Mari leads the group of Turtle Rock villagers in prayer, which helps the Hero defeat Wilfre and save Heather.

The group then returns to Rapoville, where Mari asks the Creator to use the [[Eternal Flame]] to send Mike home. Mike asks one last time what Wilfre showed Mari and Jowee, and Mari reveals that Wilfre "showed me you, Mike." The Raposa then begin to disappear, and Mike begins waking up from his coma. In the Raposa realm, Mike can still be seen sleeping in the [[Bedroom]], implying that the Raposa world lived on after he woke up.

=== ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'' ===
This was confirmed in ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'', where both realms co-exist, explained by Mike still having memories of the [[Raposa]]. In the four years since waking from his coma, Mike learned that his parents had passed, so he and [[Heather]] move in with [[Uncle Owen]], their uncle. During his parent's funeral, Mike unknowingly watches [[Aldark]] begin to infect the citizens of [[Belleview]], as everyone begins to fight. Also during these years, Mike grows closer to his classmate [[Aly]], and the two become good friends. He began to have dreams about the Raposa, but none where they spoke.

Mike is next seen by the [[Hero]] when [[Tony]] steals his scooter. Using the [[Book of Imagination]], the Hero is able to cure him of Aldark and return Mike's scooter. Mike then introduces the Hero to Heather, and the Hero cures her of Aldark as well. Later that night, Mike is ambushed by a group of [[Minimus]] and [[Maximus]]. The Hero decides to use the Book of Imagination to bring Mike back to [[Rapoville]], where he reunites with the Raposa. [[Mari]] and [[Jowee]] take him into [[Village Hall]], where they explain that the [[Shadow]] was expelled into the [[Human]] realm, and they don't know what its plans were. That night, Mike and the Hero return to Belleview using the Book of Imagination.

Mike promptly goes to sleep, but is woken up by the Hero. Heather then walks into his room, telling him that [[Aly]] was waiting for him the park. He runs out of the house to meet Aly, who rants to him about her parents arguing. Mike then introduces her to the Hero, saying that the Hero could help her parents solve their problems. Aly agrees, and asks the Hero to find her dad - [[Bruce Lannialli]]. After finding Bruce, the Hero meets Mike and Aly at an Ice Cream Shop, where Mike agrees to walk Aly home. On the way home, Mike watches as a Maximus appears next to Aly, and he warns her about it. Since Aly could not see the shadow, she is freaked out by Mike and runs home. Mike is then trapped by more Minimus and Maximus, so he retreats to Rapoville again.

Back in Rapoville, Mike meets with Mari and Jowee inside [[Creation Hall]], talking about Aly and the Shadow. The Hero then gives Mike the [[Watch]], allowing Mike to speed up time and travel between realms on his own. After an encounter with [[Crazy Barks]], Mike uses the Watch to return to Belleview to check on Aly. When they return, Mike and the Hero come face to face with Aldark, who who sics an [[Arrogance]] on them to test them. The Hero defeats it, and Mike goes to check on Aly. He finds her talking with [[Tiffany]], and she insults him for wanting to check up on her, calling him a weirdo. She tells him off, and he bumps into the Hero on his way home. He gets angered and blames the Hero for Aly' condition. Mike then begins to spend more time with Tony while recovering, but he is still upset at the Hero. Presumably, Mike is infected by Shadow during this time.

Mike is next seen at the [[School]] with Tony, and while Tony is in a classroom, Mike confronts Aldark, demanding that he undo what he did to Aly. Aldark refuses, but tells Mike that he would free Aly if Mike did something for him. Just then, Tony runs in and tells Mike that he heard the security guard, and that they need to leave. Mike reluctantly agrees and the two of them run off. Mike returns home to an upset Heather, who asks why he won't let her help him. Mike gets annoyed when the Hero walks in, and he runs up to his room. Later, he uses the Watch to return to Rapoville, and he is seen by Tony.

In Rapoville, Mike is spotted by [[King Miney]], [[Click]], and [[Miles]], who point Jowee and the Hero in the right direction when they hunt for him. He is eventually found inside the [[Watersong House]] in the [[Watersong|Watersong District]]. Inside the room, he is confronted by Mari, Jowee, and the Hero. During this confrontation, Mike says that he wishes he died in the car crash and becomes enraged that Mari knew the Shadow was in Belleview and did nothing to help. Mike then runs out of the house and uses the Watch to return to Belleview.

Back in Belleview, Mike runs to the [[Police Station]] to confront [[Deputy Snyder]] about the car accident. Mike begins to shout at him, drawing a crowd, and blaming him for the state of the town. Deputy Snyder, overcome with despair, admits to his faults, promting the Hero to use the Book of Imagination to cure him of the Shadow. This enrages Mike, who begins shouting at the crowd, telling that he wished they didn't exist. This forces the Hero to use the Book on Mike as well, curing Mike of his anger. Now in his normal state, Mike apologizes and reveals that he knows where Aldark is hiding - [[Mike's House|his house]]. Mike leads the Hero there, and the two of them confront Aldark.

At his house, Aldark ignores Mike and threatens the Hero. He also unleashes his Shadow friends on the town populace, allowing them to see the shadow for the first time. The Hero engages and defeats Aldark using the Book of Imagination, and Mike watches as Aldark and the Shadow vanish from Belleview. Mike promises the Hero that he'll do his best to keep the Shadow away if it ever comes back, and he says goodbye to the Hero, who returns to Rapoville. Some time later, Mike is talking with Aly about school, and Aly asks him why he decided to forgive Deputy Snyder. Mike decides to answer her by telling her the story of a Hero, presumably informing her of the events of the first two games and the true events of Two Realms.

=={{Icon|BoI}} Imagination Battle==

====Build Mode====
In Build Mode, the player is given a [[Hopper]], a [[Cactus Baki]], a [[Boom Baki]], a [[Balloon]], and [[Heavy Twins]].

== {{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* Mike's full name, Michael Robert Row, is a reference to Mike's name during the development of ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' - Bob Row.
* When Mike is first rescued the message that pops up says: "Congrats! You found Mike?" this is the first time the game highlights that he is different.
** A similar message pops up when you rescue [[Unagi]], though the question mark on Unagi's message may or may not be intentional.
* According to Joseph Tringali, Mike was originally designed as a human as a gag, not for any story-related reason.
** This was because the plot of ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter]]'', including Mike's coma, wasn't conceived until after the original ''Drawn to Life'' was released.
* There are several unused sprites found in ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' where different characters, typically characters from [[Lavasteam]], are seen wearing Mike's clothes.<!--
** One of these sprites can be seen in normal gameplay. (Which one?)-->
** This means that Mike's sprites were likely used as a template by the developers.
* Despite [[Heather]] being Mike’s sister in real life, Mike doesn't seem to be aware of this while in the [[Raposa]] realm, and they seldom interact within the game’s story.
* In [[:wikipedia:Lock's Quest|Lock's Quest]] there is a [[Raposa]] named Mike who complains that there is no wifi. The fact that he is the only Raposa in the game may be a reference to how Mike is the only human in ''Drawn to Life''.
* In promotional artwork, Mike's jacket is green instead of grey.
* At one point ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]'', [[Jowee]] refers to Mike as a "gear head".
* According to [[Mari]] and Heather in ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)'', Mike builds robots.
* In the canon ending of ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', Mike is not wearing the same clothes as he is in his sprites.
** This is fixed in the non-canon ending, where his character is re-drawn to match the style of the in-game sprites.
* After finishing the story of ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'', Mike can be seen sleeping in the "Delete Save" bed in the [[Bedroom|Main Menu]].
** As confirmed in ''[[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]]'', this means that the Raposa world still exists in Mike’s imagination and dreams, even after waking from his coma.
* [[Drawn to Life Credits|Jeremiah Slaczka]] says whether or not Mike's parents survived the crash was left ambiguous for the players to theorize.
** This was changed in ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'', where we see their funeral, confirming their fate.
* Mike likely wasn’t in a coma for very long, supported by the fact that Heather remained in the same clothes as she was in before the crash, she was still being questioned by a police officer, and that Mike wasn’t attached to any life-support machines.
* In ''Drawn to Life: Two Realms'', Mike has an entire set of unused sprites that are done in a different style than any other sprites in the game.
** According to [[Drawn to Life: Two Realms Credits|Chern Fai]], this is because Mike was originally planned to be a playable character<ref>[[File:MikePlayable.png|50px]]</ref>.
* Mike is implied to be an adult in the Raposa realm, as Mari wonders if he is a father who cut his ears off because his kids were annoying him.
* Mike seems to enjoy Mayonnaise flavored Ice Cream.
* According to the [[Sticker|Baseball]] sticker description, Mike plays on a little league baseball team.
** This may be the "Belleview Bearcats", a baseball team referenced in the [[Hero|Baseball Player]] Hero template.
