He is voiced by Lucy Stiles.
Biography[]
Strawinsky, the fox protagonist of Strawinsky and the Mysterious House, serves as the guiding force for his group of friends, demonstrating intelligence, caution, and leadership. While little is known about his origins, he clearly shows a natural inclination towards exploration, which later lead him into the depths of the eerie mansion with his group, where he carefully assesses each encounter, ensuring that he and his friends do not fall victim to its strange and supernatural forces. While he is adventurous, he does not blindly rush into danger and carefully balances caution with high levels of intelligence.
As he navigates the eerie house filled with weird, almost anomalistic activities that defy logic, Strawinsky’s skeptical mindset proves invaluable. He encounters various odd beings, including a depressed cello and the infamous Globglogabgalab, a blob-like creature obsessed with books. He later finds the Rat King, a sinister figure who tempts others with his corrupt books, which can warp minds and bodies alike. Fearing that he may succumb to the evil spells of the Rat King, Strawinsky tries to escape to safety. A battle of willpower then ensues, with Strawinsky refusing to be swayed by the Rat King’s temptations.
Just as things seem hopeless, the Scarlet Queen emergers, banishes the Rat King, and breaks his corrupting spell. The mansion trembles, the books lose their power, and Strawinsky’s friends are freed from their malicious influence.
