Thank you Tapirus (Broken Dice) for suggesting & allowing me to make video based on his/her research! This was very fun to work on! P.S I was pointed out that I may have pronounced Stephen King wrong (Has to sound more like Steven than Stefen), but it's just how my culture pronounce his name, so if there are any King's fan, please don't get triggered.
The first time I played dst, I made a public server and decided to play as Maxwell, 3 (later 4) people joined, a Wigfrid, a willow, and a Wes. When my little base was burnt down everyone suspected willow, long story short, it was wigfrid who Burnt my base and tried to kill everyone, in the end it came down to me vs Wes and I won.
Willow: *is a witch* Also Willow: *can not be burned alive* Every Inquisitor in radius 400 years, who burned a lot of innocent women: "Years of academy wasted."
I would say that Willow, although not fully Japanese, might have had an ancestor that was. Perhaps one of her parents, or someone taking care of her. EDIT So I read a bit about it, and it's totally possible, read about the "Picture Brides" that came to the US from Japan after the Gentleman's Agreement in 1907, which prohibited all the immigrants from Asia, save for wives and kids of the workers, and so the workers married girls from Japan by just sending them pictures, and they came to US (mostly Hawaii). But many of them were basically catfished, and so eloped, or escaped one way or another. So perhaps Willow is a lovechild of one such woman, who was then found by her husband and taken home, and the man who she eloped with. Perhaps he didn't want the child, and just left it in an orphanage? But that's my speculation. My main point is, there were totally Japanese immigrants in that era, and although the racism prevented interracial marriages, there could have been such a situation. Also, that would explain the awful treatment that Willow got at the orphanage (though it might have just been an awful place overall).
Yes!!! Thank you for using that screenshot where Klei confirms her age, people don't want to believe me when I say how old she is, but besides that this was a great video! You really put them together so well, I'm still learning video editing but I'm yet to decorate them with a good aesthetic like you do!
So a European (Possibly German) paired with a Japanese pyromaniac a russian strongman, a librarian, a british failed magician that started it all. I love Don't starve for making being both serious and absurd at times.
I don't know if it's me but DST videos/RUclipsrs are more active now (as in making content of DST) and I'm so happy about it. This game deserves everything 😭
As Willow main, I'm not surpirsed how there is this Willow-mania only after the update. Nobody cared about her as a charatcher or as an individual before. Now that she is A tier everyone plays Willow. I cant play as her anymore becouse servers are always on fire. At least she finally has the attention she requires.
to be frank, I still don't really care about her (my heart is solely for Wilson). But Tapirus appraoched me with the idea, and it looked interesting so I went for it
Tips about Werepigs : -You can attack an werepig chasing a food which it can't get without be damaged : keep a distance press 'F' and avoid its attack , attack it 2 times, do it again. -When they are roaring(transforming) you can hack about 5 hits when they are roaring.
So in a server there was this tiki torch nearby our base and the pigs kept attacking it so this willow got tired of it, stood in the dark a little to go insane and then spawned in Burnie and he got rid of the guard pigs.
I was definitively not expecting any of those facts but I got to admit that they are fascinating. I'd play her if it wasn't for her setting fire when sanity drops, I don't play "together".
"Familiar with works of Stephen King" You got nothing on me he is literally my 3rd cousin- You know that some of his books are based in Maine, like IT, I'm from Maine and I believe he is too oof. He doesn't know I exist-
Don't forget that a shadow monsters was scared of the teddy bear on the short What if she is from Japan, but she was abandoned in other place? (I mean, in the short, she seems to be in a west orfanage)

Wilson to some extent reminds me with Victor Frankestien both are people who mess up with things they probably shouldn't and both of them cause agony to innocents they (may know). But here is two key differences 1.Willson unlike Victor is responsible unlike Victor he tries hardly from what I had seen that he tries to help others finding a way to escape he and Maxwell too. 2.Willson is not an Asshole unlike Victor and he is also to a very large extent humorous character. Unlike the creepy narcissistic Bastrd that is Victor.
Yeah, the main similarity between them is their college dropout/gentleman scientist status. The main difference is, as far as we know, that Wilson basically only hurt himself (and tried to punch Maxwell, but he kinda deserved it), so no, he doesn't cause agony. One more key similarity between them, and the overall theme of the story, is the meeting of science and magic- after all, Victor mashed the modern science, and the alchemy to create the "monster", and the main conflict of Don't Starve seems to be between Wilson and Maxwell- pure science, and pure magic, two worlds meeting. And so, as we see in the comic, working together, connecting those two arts, might be the best way. So that's how I would compare Frankenstein and Don't Starve.
Thanks for compiling the lore on Willow! Gotta point out though that Stephen is pronounced as "Steven". Why? Cuz it doesn't make sense, like the English language.
Actually my dad works for Microsoft and hes done some digging and so i managed to uncover Willows secret lore ... Shes a 1350RP SKin for Annie that accidently ended on an USB with a Porn Riot sent to Klei ... No need to thsnk me
Her rework video looks based in an english or american orphanage, which indicates to me that if she is Japanese, she's likely half Japanese and from America. If she's 20 in DS, and the game is set in the late 1920s, then she was likely born during the height of Japanese immigration during the early 20th century. Antijapanese sentiment really spiked after 1905, which likely explains why she's treated so very poorly in the orphanage.

I would say that Willow, although not fully Japanese, might have had an ancestor that was. Perhaps one of her parents, or someone taking care of her.
EDIT

Willow is my favourite character in Don't Starve Together
Consistently great videos!
like a nice morning bowel movement
Now that we can see Willow's new skill tree we can say that the witch theory was right
So in a server there was this tiki torch nearby our base and the pigs kept attacking it so this willow got tired of it, stood in the dark a little to go insane and then spawned in Burnie and he got rid of the guard pigs.
"other characters that give out flame" *shows pyro* ah yes the floor here is made of floor

The most interesting thing about this is that willow is probably based on Charlie but in don’t starve there’s Charlie the night monster
Don't forget that a shadow monsters was scared of the teddy bear on the short
What if she is from Japan, but she was abandoned in other place? (I mean, in the short, she seems to be in a west orfanage)
Just thanks for putting this video out my dude
