Hey Steemians, how have you been? I want to inform you that starting today will begin to find a column in my blog that will be titled “Iconic Characters”. This section will be dedicated to a particular character, in it I will make a brief analysis about the selected character and also express a personal opinion about him. The characters that I will talk about in this section will be characters belonging to a series, video game, comic and why not? also books. This column will be published weekly on Saturdays from today. Having said that, it is time to start with the first edition of Iconic Characters.
Today in Iconic Characters I'll talk about Bigby Wolf, who is the main character of the video game The Wolf Among Us, a video game based on the comics of Fables by Bill Willingham published by the stamp Vertigo, from DC Comics. The video game went on sale on October 11, 2013 and has been praised by critics, being nominated for various awards, including D.I.C.E. Awards of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, where he was nominated in the categories "Outstanding Story" and "Adventure Game of the Year".
I personally consider The Wolf Among Us one of my favorite videogames and I totally recommend that you play it, of course if you have not done it yet, because whoever has played it knows perfectly that this is a great videogame. And it is that The Wolf Among Us is a game that stands out among many for its incredible story, an intriguing story that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat during the whole adventure. Well, now that I've familiarized them a bit with the video game, it's time to talk about its protagonist, "The Big Bad Wolf" Bigby Wolf.
Bigby Wolf
Bigby Wolf in a memorable character for many reasons, but the main one without a doubt is his personality. He is rebellious and independent, but he is also someone committed to Fabletown, and being the sheriff of the town he must act as such, being the person in charge of enforcing the law and of dispensing justice in a rotten city. Bigby is the sheriff, this means that in the most difficult circumstances he has to be able to stay calm, but sometimes keeping calm is complicated, because he has to constantly fight against his own nature.
Bigby's fight against his own instincts that I mentioned earlier is a key factor in the story, because through this we can get to understand the protagonist, and we can even get to feel identified with him. And it is that everyone at some point in our lives have acted impulsively, either because of fear or some other reason.
Bigby after all the events that happened before there was Fabletown, he proposed to change, but he has not yet been able to achieve this. He has problems to maintain control of himself, and although he tries to be different, the fables do not make it easy for him, the latter maybe because of the fear or resentment they feel for someone who was once known as "The big bad wolf". He feels disappointed, because although it is supposed that everything was going to be different in Fabletown, reality is different for our Bibby Wolf, since there is no "potion" or "enchantment" that can make people forget the past.
The first impression I had of Bigby Wolf was that he was a lonely, cold and distant person, but he certainly is much more than that. He is an astute detective who despite being a wolf does not need to resort to his animal instincts to solve a crime, he investigates the crime scenes, analyzes the clues and discovers the truth through the interrogatory. Bigby has also proved to be someone who is not afraid of getting his hands dirty, in order to protect the fables, and is that while Bigby tries to change, sometimes it is necessary for him to resort to his wild nature.
Without a doubt, I believe that the arguments presented above are more than enough to consider Bigby Wolf a Iconic Character.
