History

Background

Woodrow Comic No. 1
Woodrow reciting his first poem

All throughout Woodrow's life, bad luck followed whenever he recited a poem. The villagers eventually banned him from being a poet, and even held a contest to find a new poet laureate to replace Woodrow. However, he disguised himself and entered the contest, but his poem caused a Intradimensional Doomstorm rating a 9.5 on the terror scale to appear. The Doomstorm dropped a cruise ship on Woodrow and struck him with lightning, causing a rain cloud to become his forever companion.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope

Woodrow is first met when Mario and his friends land upon Palette Prime. He explains to them that two Darkmess Tentacles are causing grief to Palette Prime, one of which is draining the color of Spellbound Woods, while the other tentacle is causing havoc in Paletteville, along with something much more destructive. After clearing the two Darkmess Tentacles, Woodrow also requests that the Heroes find Sweetlopek to have him rebuild the bridge to Paletteville. Once the bridge is built, Woodrow admits that Cursa is the muse for all of his depressing poems, and promises to write more uplifting poems once it is defeated.

In my effort to "translate" the poet-warden Woodrow for the Heroes, I studied thousands of his poems. More than just a combination of rhythmic verses, I found them powerful, even moving - expanding and rewiring my neurotransmitters with each prosodic cue. Few things have contributed to my emerging emotional literacy like poetry. Perhaps I should try writing my own one day.
