| “ | Man, I had all the time for dreaming! All I ever needed was a chance. ♫They call me "that poor Bayou boy" Guess that's what thay'd chant This old town tried to keep me down Things just never seemed to go my way But she would always hold me tight And say "I'm closer and closer everyday" And I was almost there Was I almost there? Dreams of being New Orlean's Magic Man But no one cared Oh, I've had my trials and tribulations Still ain't got nowhere I just kept it going Had to keep on showing But never almost there♫ |

| ~ Dr. Facilier mentioning how Mama Odie would try to encourage Facilier while he was a teenager. |
Dr. Facilier, also known as The Shadow Man, is the main villainous protagonist of the fan-made animatic "Almost There, which was made by Chloe Sparkle and sung by MilkyyMelodies.
Back when he was a little boy, he used to struggle in poverty and would be bullied by a trio of boys who were richer than him back when he was only a newspaper boy. However, Mama Odie (who is assumed to likely either be the mother or the grandmother of Facilier) would later plan his dreams of becoming New Orleans' Magic Man, only for his dreams to still go nowhere despite his attempts at trying. With no one giving Facilier a chance to reach his dreams of becoming a respected Magic Man.
Due to being constantly mocked by three rich bullies, he would gain jealousy and disdain towards those richer than him and for not being as successful as them, which would slowly lead to him becoming hungry for power, wealth, and vengeance on those who are richer than him, with him making a deal with the "Friends on the Other Side” and with the cost of his own morals and the love of Mama Odie and Juju. He would also be the reason why Odie is blind and why Juju is left as a snake.
Biography[]
As a child in New Orleans, he used to be suffering from poverty and would often get mocked by three mean, rich boys who were more successful than him, working as a newspaper delivery boy.
However, Mama Odie would try to guide Facilier into reaching his dreams if he kept trying. As Dr. Facilier became a teenager, he decided to plan his dreams of becoming a magic man of New Orleans, planning a business for "Facilier's Fantastic Magic”. Tiana and James Rogers would briefly check out his stand for a while, only for Tiana to hide behind her father after Facilier showed a Voodoo doll of a frog. After James and Tiana left, the three bullies, who are now teenagers, would mock Facilier for being unsuccessful and for being poor.
He pushed away Odie when she wanted to help comfort him, punching a wall only to notice a chest inside a small hidden door. Facilier would steal the chest and checked inside of it and would see that was the chest that included dark magic, where he would see that the "Friends on the Other Side" would be in. Facilier would see it as an opportunity to get his revenge on the bullies who had mistreated him since his childhood.
Facilier would trick the bullies into making a deal with him, only for Facilier to use it as an opportunity to summon the Friends on the Other Side and let the three boys be sent into the portal of the mouth of one of the "Friends on the Other Side" and having the bullies' souls consumed, leading to their boy's deaths and their souls to be condemned forever. Facilier would have the last laugh as the boys were sent to their doom.
As Facilier went to the forest to head back home, he would end up facing his own parents, who were both disappointed with Facilier for using the dark magic chest and using it for his own desires. However, with Facilier seeing this as his own parents betraying him, he permanently blinded Mama Odie and turned Juju into a snake. Mama Odie was left heartbroken, not being able to bear on accepting the fact of how much that Facilier had fallen from grace, with Facilier abandoning the two and going on his own.
As Facilier became an adult, he would notice the newspaper that included Prince Naveen, in which Facilier would then have an evil grin, plotting on his idea to trick Prince Naveen by planning to turn him into a frog forever.
Personality[]
Dr. Facilier used to be a sweet and innocent boy as a child who suffered from poverty and used to have love for his mother and father. He always had a wish of becoming a respected magic man of New Orleans, only for his said dreams to never come true due to being constantly ignored. He was constantly mocked by three snobbish rich boys who would mock Facilier for not being successful and for being poor.
However, as he got to his teenage years, he would gain a strong jealousy and disdain for those richer than him and disliking failure. He later gains a craving for wealth and power, even planning to choose to get revenge with the help of the Friends on the Other Side. He would also be shown to be sadistic and vindictive as he would laugh as his bullies get sucked into the portal of the mouth of one of the Friends on the Other Side. The boys getting killed in the process.
He would end up becoming exactly like who he was in the original version - a devious, manipulative, schemer who is willing to have authority over other people and become wealthy. He would end up debasing his love for his family as he would become wrathful after believing his own parents betrayed him by permanently blinding Odie and turning Juju into a snake before abandoning the two.
Trivia[]
- This version of Facilier is likely a villainous foil to Tiana Rogers. While Tiana chose to keep trying to reach her own goals to become an Owner of her own restaurant, but rejecting materialistic desires and the tempting offer from Dr. Facilier and the Friends on the Other Side thus refusing to sacrifice her mother's love and her relationships, Facilier gave up trying and decided to make a deal with the Friends on the Other Side to get revenge on the three bullies who made fun of him and to get to his goals faster but with the expense of sacrificing his families' love and ruining his familial relationships out of anger.
- This echoes the teaching that Mama Odie tells Tiana of looking beyond materialistic desires to see that while reaching one's goals are important, sacrificing love and relationships in order to do so, is misguided.
- Dr. Facilier's past of being mocked by the three boys is likely the reason he dislikes being in poverty and feels disdain and jealousy of those who are richer than him. He also has a fear of failure and hatred of being disrespected.
- His origin story is also a callback from his comment to Lawrence, where Facilier asked him, “Aren't you tired of living on the margins while all those fat cats in their fancy cars don't give you so much as a sideways glance?”
