♠ In-Depth: Personality: Woody is everything you would expect from a cowboy. He’s brave, kind, and smart. He’s loyal to his friends and determined to be there for them no matter what. Once you’ve got a friend in Woody, you’ve got a friend for life. He has your back, even if it need be for something as simple as a little advice. It goes without saying the cowboy would stick his neck out for his friends, having risked more than his own well being for them, such as the case with his return to Sunny Side. Woody demonstrates his leadership qualities over the years by laying down the law to maintain peace and order to Andy’s room. This mostly involves his ability to keep the toys content and prepared for any event which may occur. This includes orderly moves to either a new room or an entirely new house, keeping toys calm and informed during the unravelling of new toys during birthdays and Christmas and simple support. If Woody is leaving for a period of time such as his previous excursions to cowboy camp with Andy he wants to be absolutely sure that everyone is taken care of from the highest shelf from the bottom of the toy chest. All their needs are important to Woody and he wants to ensure they are met, enough to review them thoroughly with Buzz before he leaves. But like every toy and person alike, Woody is not perfect. As soft-hearted as he may be he can’t help being equally as hardheaded - it's just how he was made. Woody can be quite stubborn. Once he has his mind set on something convincing him otherwise can prove most difficult. Convinced that they best be there for their owner and return to the attic where Andy intended them to be, Woody countlessly tries to bring his friends back to the house, ignoring their protests to do otherwise. Since they first donated themselves he began planning their escape back to Andy's house such as hiding under the car seats until they got home. But even after being ignored he persists, stressing their importants to Andy, reminding them as often as possible even at Sunny Side. He turns down two new lives, one at Sunny Side as well as one with Bonnie to return to Andy's, having gone so far as to even friends. However, once he realizes the danger he's left them in he quickly returns to their rescue. Let it me known that Woody also has little trouble expressing his frustration, doing everything from shouting to stomping around in his boots (but not like Gaston) to he makes his feelings heard. Examples of this are seen on numerous occasions; grunts and groans when he can't use his left hand to whistle and only his right, when Woody debates with Jessie about Andy and going to Japan, or when Woody kicks a checkers board out of jealousy after seeing Buzz with one of his friends when the space ranger first arrived. Over the years however Woody has grown to accept sharing the spotlight, going so far as to even introduce new toys such as Jessie and Bullseye unlike hoping for them to disappear as he had with Buzz. His belief is that a real toy's reason for living is to be there for their owner no matter what. That, however, by no means suggests Woody has overcome his fear of abandonment. He can still worry easily that he may not be loved anymore which can sometimes cause him to act irrationally just to receive that same love again.
Canon Background: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Woody
AU Background: Shortly after life had began with his new owner, Bonnie, Woody was surprised to find that he had received a letter from someone other than Ken. Who else was there that could possibly know him other than the toys at Sunny Side? As it turned out, a certain mouse did. The letter, even more surprisingly, was an invitation from the headmaster of Disney Academy asking that Woody teach at his school. Many would see it as the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to start anew and finally interact with children without breaking toy law. Woody, however, was content where he was. He needn’t break the rule; he was alive in Bonnie’s eyes and took pleasure in allowing the girls imagination to make him whatever he need be. The rest of Andy’s toys had just begun to settle in and with Chuckles recent disappearance they all needed him there. Mickey’s invitation would kindly be declined.
Unbeknownst to him, Woody was not the only one of Bonnie's toy who received such invitation. Chuckles just so happened to get one as well and, unlike Woody, chose to accept. He spoke nothing of the Academy and disappeared without so much as a goodbye without any intention of returning. [This character was previously apped at the original Disney Academy. I'm going by their original application.]
It was some time later that Woody found himself the recipient of a second a second letter. He certainly liked to think he had an impact on more than one child's life but what more was there for a toy? The headmaster seemed too see so much more. As the Mist began to roll in, Woody grew more familiar with it's effects before Bonnie and her family were evacuated out of the city, Bonnie sweet enough to take her toys with her. Much to his relief, reports confirmed that Andy's college had been evacuated as well. And although they had all made it out safely, it had been close, far closer than Woody would have liked. This 'Mickey' fellow seemed fairly convinced that he could help stop this Mist. Woody couldn't say he felt so sure, the idea outright ridiculous but maybe... maybe he could. Maybe this headmaster knew something that he didn't. It seemed only right that he accept the invitation if he could save his friends, Bonnie, and yes, even Andy. He could never forgive himself if he had just given up on everyone. For that reason, Woody found himself at the gates of the Academy, letter in hand.
