Viola's dad (ヴィオラの父 'Vūiora no chichi')is a non-playable character in The Witch's House.
Appearance
Viola's father is a tall, muscular middle-aged man with spiky blonde hair and brown eyes. He has thin facial hair around his chin. [2] He wears a white sleeveless shirt adorned with a yellow scarf, red trousers, and dark-colored wristbands and leather boots.
Biography
His true name is not mentioned in-game and he is only referred to as Viola's father, but his image file on the game's website reveals that his name is supposed to be Travis (トラビス, Torabisu)[3]. He works as a hunter, and often goes into the Witch's Forest to hunt for food. At some point, he married and fathered a daughter named Viola. When Viola was still very young, his wife passed away, leaving his daughter to assume a motherly role at an early age. Regardless, the two supported each other constantly and led a fairly happy life. This event had also led Travis to become over-protective toward his only daughter, constantly telling her not to go into the forest in memory of an old legend saying that a witch who kidnaps children lives there.
Story
The Diary of Ellen
Viola's father is first introduced in the fourth chapter. He would constantly warn Viola to stay away from the forest, but without giving her any particular reason behind his warnings. This lead the curious 13-year old girl to reluctantly venture into the forest and meet secretly with her new friend, Ellen. While Travis was oblivious of this, he eventually grew suspicious of his daughter's recent habit of coming home late. [To be updated]
The Witch's House
Early on in the game, Viola finds a letter in her belongings from her dad, telling her to stay out of the forest, and to beware of the witch living in there.
He appears in the forest at the end of the game after Viola escapes and shoots the Legless Girl, unaware that she is his real daughter.
