Biography

Early Life

Willy Wonka was born from his mother on an unknown date. He was forbidden to eat any candy, because his father, Wilbur Wonka is a dentist who hates candy, especially chocolate. So, Wonka left his home. But when he came back, his father was no longer there, and he was orphaned.

Brief Beginnings

Wonka started his chocolate business after some time after, and he started a small shop on Cherry street. Grandpa Joe was hired as an employee to work for him. With Wonka's amazing candy, he soon became a billionaire, and with all that money, he built his own chocolate factory.

The Willy Wonder Tour

With the Ticket finders (And their parents), Wonka was a bit nervous, and he was unable to stop the children from disobeying his orders, causing Augustus Gloop to fall into the chocolate river, Violet Beaurgarde to turn into a gigantic blueberry, Veruca Salt to get tossed into the rubbish chute, and Mike Teavee to be shrunk into the size of a hand. But Charlie Bucket remained and Wonka revealed that his grand prize was to inherit his factory and Charlie won because he was the "least rotten" of the five children and Charlie was eager to accept until Wonka revealed that he would have to leave his family behind as Wonka believed that families would only restrict him. However, Charlie preferred to stay with his parents, so he left. Willy Wonka was soon depressed, and as a result, his candy production started to go down.

Confronting the past and reunion with his father.

Wonka secretly met with Charlie while Charlie was shining his shoes. He asked Charlie about what made Charlie happy. Charlie replied that his parents made him happy. But Wonka disliked the idea of reuniting with his father, due to his childhood reasons. After some persuasion, he went with Charlie to his father's house. He made an appointment with the dentist, and Wilbur Wonka instantly recognized his son.
