Chapter 1: Favorite Character (August 17th)
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, with the exception of my OC character, Hannah.
Will Scarlet is an unpredictable man. He's sassy, handsome, a great pickpocket, thief, Knave of Hearts, and now White King of Wonderland. He's faced danger many times over, risking his life and limb for those he cares about. Will went through many trials to help get Alice back together with Cyrus. He went through twice as many trials to get his true love and queen, his Anastasia back. Will Scarlet is known throughout the realms as the most famous of the Merry Men and the second best thief, after only the famous Robin Hood himself. His brown hair is always kept short, just the way he likes it. Will's dark brown eyes have one of two major emotions in them. Most of the time, particularly when he speaks or looks at Anastasia, they are filled with love and devotion. On the rare occasion, his eyes are storming with anger, ready to beat the living daylights out of someone if necessary. The looks Will gave to Jafar and the Jabberwocky were just the beginning. Oh, if anyone dares to harm Anastasia or even thinks about getting in her head, Will shoots them such a dirty look it sends shivers up their spines.
"Bloody h***, he often says, many now refer to it as his catch phrase.
It seems to be his go-to phrase when he's at a loss for words, which isn't that frequently. He has to get his say-so in on every conversation. Will is a bold man, never backing down from a challenge or even a life or death situation. At times his recklessness makes him a brave hero. Other times, it almost gets him killed or turned to stone, whatever the case may be. His thieving ways can be useful in certain situations. In different circumstances, you guessed it, his ways almost get either just himself or everyone killed. Take the incident with Robin Hood and the Merry Men for example. Yeah, stealing the looking glass from a heavily armed, magical sorceress's castle may not have been the best idea in the world. But, Will did what he knew was the right thing to do. After all, he promised Anastasia a better life, and that was the only way he could do so.
He can make Anastasia laugh at almost anything he does, whether he wants to or not. His tricks and sarcastic remarks never cease to humor his wife and one true love. Will would do anything to see her smile, particularly since she grew up with her absolutely horrible mother, Lady Tremaine. He can make her smile just by looking at her with love in his eyes, making her heart soar. Will is certainly good at giving pep talks to anyone who needs them, just ask any of his friends. True, he's had his heart broken many times. He's lost his sister, parents, and Anastasia in some form of another. Anastasia died twice, and yet she's back in his life once more as Will's loving and caring wife. Will doesn't know what he did in life to deserve a second and even a third chance with the woman he loves more than life itself, but he's grateful the chance was bestowed upon him.
People who don't know Will think he is rough, raw, maybe even a bit loud, but they don't know him the way Anastasia does. No one in Storybrooke even knows Will Scarlet's full story. They just don't know how much of a hero he actually is. Most days it doesn't bother him what other people think. But when that blonde sheriff, who Will is fifty percent sure her name is Emma, starts to say that he's nothing but a thief, he starts to take offense. Beneath Will Scarlet's rough exterior is a heart of gold, one that sets him apart from most of the other people in Storybrooke and Wonderland alike. He's a great friend, an even better husband, and a hero, even if he's one of the reluctant heroes of the small town in Maine. Say what you want about Will, but Anastasia, Alice, Cyrus, and even Robin Hood know the truth about him. He's one of the best allies you could ever have on your side, because he'll never stop fighting. And all of this is what makes him Hannah's favorite out of the Wonderland gang. It's why he's her best friend in all the realms.
Author's Note: And there's Chapter 1 for Wonderland Appreciation Week! I hope everyone enjoyed, even if Will is not your favorite character. I will try to post a new chapter every day this week, making a grand total of seven chapters for this story. (School may keep me from doing one a day, though.) Oh, and my OC Hannah is based off of me, so that's how I know that Will is her favorite Wonderland member. Until chapter 2, and leave a review with what you thought!
