Woody Peterson

Woody Peterson is the protagonist and main character of the series. He is the son of Woody Peterson Senior and husband to Jessie Peterson. His best friend is Buzz McCallister, together they have spent most of their lives fighting evil and saving the world for the good.

Throughout the run of the series, Woody, with Jessie, has raised a family of four children, two of which are biological and the other, mutated turtles. Woody is known to be brave, heroic, good, and a born leader, though has, since the early days of his life let his emotions rule him, sometimes leading to reckless decision making. Despite of all of this, Woody has, from becoming a responsible father and suffering great hardship, grown into a man sure of himself, ready to fight and never falling down, because that's what Petersons do.

Early Life
Born in the General hospital in Toy Story village, Woody was a day one rebel, refusing to leave his mother and holding up the birth of his brother Ruddy, for over 40 minutes. Upon leaving the hospital, Woody was caught stealing a block of cheese from a Doctor's coat, something that amazed all present, but actually was set up as a distraction so Woody's dad could steal some of the hospital's MRI and life support equipment. Woody was a difficult infant, screaming and crying everyday for his mother and attacking his baby twin with a rattle.

Growing up
Life as a child was difficult for Woody, he constantly misbehaved and fought with his father, but was always close to his mother, Jane Emily Peterson, something that annoyed his father in the early years, who wanted his children to be strong and courageous. Woody exhibited strange behavior, creating objects, and inventing miniature robots at his command, a skill he shared with his dad. For some reason, Woody had a great fear of the forest outside his window, imagining monsters and "seeing things" in the trees. For years he claimed he was being haunted by an "electric ghost", that watched him and called him names. Later toward his early teens, his parents unexpectedly split up after a major argument Woody heard outside his room, which resulted in his mother leaving the family home for good. After a period of two weeks, Woody's dad informed Woody and the family that their mother had tragically died in a car accident, and was never coming home. In the years that followed Woody's relationship with his father improved but had it's ups and downs. An event unknown to Woody and Ruddy a few months after his mother left changed their father, defeating his brother Edward Williams (Evil Master). Their dad raised the pressure of expectation, and from then on he raised his twin boys in a very strict manner, but always cared for them, and treated them with love and respect when needed. He even got them a dog, a boxer named Mixie, who Woody hated with a passion for biting him every day.

Teen Years
Heading into his late teens Woody had a ton of trouble making friends. He preferred to keep to himself, writing in his memoirs about science and fiction. Woody was horribly harassed by the school bully, Transformer guy. He did however, have a crush on a girl at the school, Jessie McCallister, the daughter of his dad's longtime friend Buzzwind McCallister, a big time space ranger commander at Star Command. Woody never had it in him to properly approach Jessie, and along with that, Jessie's boyfriend was Trans, and her sister Kelly hated Woody's guts. One day however, a new boy showed up in school, "Victor Sal" (older Woody in disguise time-traveling). Sal convinced Woody to finally talk to the girl of his dreams, and asked her to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at the end of the school year. She unfortunately declined, having already asked Sal to go instead. This being a problem for the older time-traveling protagonist, a plan was hatched, that young Woody would win her back from Sal in a staged attack outside the dance. The plan failed however, as Trans showed up instead and sent Sal away with his bully friends. Woody was unaware of this incident, and turned up anyway, leading to a fight with his nemesis. Surprisingly, though not surprising at all if you seen a very popular 80's time-traveling movie, Woody won the fight, punching Trans square in the face, winning Jessie over to his side. They danced, kissed, and got together from that night on.

In the years that followed, they shared a happy, loving young relationship, though never strayed far from their respective families. The McCallisters and Petersons continued to be a very close unit, inviting each other over every year for different holidays and events. Though through all that time somehow Woody had yet to meet Jessie's older brother, Buzzwart, who spent all of his time training at the Star Command ranger academy and both Yale and Harvard University for science and medical degrees. Her younger brother, Buzzy McCallister, was a very shy boy, who never spoke out of turn in front of his father, so Woody essentially never got to know him very well in this time.

Becoming a father
In all those years with Jessie, Woody's trouble making only got worse, living a party-mad lifestyle and making many friends, some of which bullied him in school, like Trans. His life would soon however change, for on the night of his 30th birthday celebration, he was surprised with the news of his life, that he was going to be a father.
