He speaks with the cheerful abandon of a fairytale jester, but his aloofness suggests an eerie insincerity.

Chapter 7[]
SPOILER WARNING!
Scarecrow becomes the final boss of the game, turning into a giant crow monster after absorving all the fears in the Netherworld Core. He proclaims that he would make Ellen's wish become reality, showing to humans the horrors of death. However, he is defeated when Keats and Livane lend Ellen the strength she needs. Scarecrow turns back to normal, falling onto his back, shortly before Ellen passes out of fatigue.
A flashback occurs, which revealed that after the deaths in the village, Cecilia had created Scarecrow, who stated that they'd be friends forever.
It is revealed that Scarecrow was created by Cecilia in the moment she had wished people to have fear of death, so the world would be a better place. Scarecrow now realizes that Ellen was no longer Cecilia, so her wish was no longer valid. After apologizing to her, Ellen thanks Scarecrow for helping her regain her memories. When no more words were exchanged, Scarecrow had faded from existence.
Personality[]
In Chapter 7, Charlie becomes worried about Scarecrow, so he asks Ellen to watch out for him so he doesn't do something crazy. (Which is ironic, since he is doing so.) He evens adds that Scarecrow liked Ellen, willing to do anything for her.
Charlie also proclaims Scarecrow to be too earnest.
Trivia[]
Scarecrow has a few pins on his coat. Those pins are blurry and hardly readable.
It's believable that on one of those pins is written "youth gone wild". That's a debut album from a american band called Skid Row. Very similar pins can be seen over the internet, but with different typography. Since its a band debut album, it makes sense that pins would be produced. Also the band's name itself "Skid Row" has its letters kinda blending together just like this pin. The first compact disc (CD) was invented and released first in Japan, 1982. The album's first release was on Japan in 1988 (CD's). The developer's company is also from Japan (Game Republic). The "Youth Gone Wild" album was released next year on UK and US and re-released on UK after 3 years. This band's influence on Japan is the reason why Scarecrow has a UK t-shirt and uses a metal band pin.
