Mandrake

Mandrake is Earwig's adoptive father in Earwig and the Witch.

Plot
Mandrake was the pianist of the band Earwig before it disbanded, after he settled for trying to become an author. He lives with Bella Yaga, though they do not seem to be in a relationship.

Appearance
Mandrake is extremely tall and lanky with thick circular glasses. His ears are his most identifiable feature, as they are long and pointed. His hair is short and brown, though during his time as a rock star, it was dark purple and long. When angered, his eyes spark and he can grow scales.

Personality
Mandrake is very easy to upset and wields the greatest amount of power in the house. Since he is so easy to anger, he often isolates himself and resents being disturbed. He is the first to come around to treating Earwig with kindness, as he has good intentions deep down.
