[edit] Personality
Pinocchio is perpetually angry, due to the fact that he is over a thousand years old, but hasn't hit puberty. He blames the Blue Fairy for his situation, seeing as how she turned him into a permanent real boy; despite his dislike of the annual Remembrance Day celebration, he regularly attended during his time in Fabletown in the hope that she would show up so that he can finally give her a piece of his mind (or boot). His discovery that the Fairy is, in fact, imprisoned by his father and has been reduced to being a mere power source for turning his wooden creations into living beings is unlikely to have improved his mood.
[edit] Character history
[edit] Pinocchio and Geppetto
During the attack on Fabletown by the wooden solders, he found out his father Geppetto was still alive, and apparently a captive of the Adversary. He would have returned to the Homelands to find his father, but was beheaded in the Battle of Fabletown, reverting immediately to his original wooden form. He was later carried back to the Homelands by Boy Blue and restored to life by Geppetto, who turned out to be the Adversary himself. As Boy Blue escaped Geppetto's clutches, he offered Pinocchio a chance to return to Fabletown. Pinocchio, very confused, opted to stay with his father, where he currently still resides.
[edit] The Spell
The spell that turned Pinocchio human for the second time included the bonds of loyalty that were added to the enchantment after his original transformation failed to cure his wayward nature. As such, despite any misgivings that he might have, Pinocchio is now unable to act contrary to his father's wishes.
[edit] The Imperial Conference
Pinocchio attended the Imperial conference with his father, as he could provide many details of Fabletown, having been a recent resident. Appalled by the apocalyptic suggestions made by the Snow Queen for dealing with the mundane world, Pinocchio, after discussion with Sir Rodney Greenwood, found himself in the position of having to make a counter-proposal. He spoke quite eloquently, describing the likely response from the mundane world, suggesting that the Fables living there would reveal themselves to the mundane authorities and would rally the technologically advanced mundane armies against them, leading to the fall of the Empire in a relatively short timeframe. As such, it was decided that the assault could not proceed as planned.
