==Biography==

===Alice Moriarty===
===Mylo Moriarty===
Winter has a strained relationship with their older brother because he killed their sister Alice. Mylo does not seem to have any qualms to dispose of Winter as well.

==Quotes==
* (To Ron Kamonohashi) "You have no idea how much I'd enjoy killing you now if I could... But we descendants of Moriarty, with our lofty intellect, must engage you in a battle of wits. We will give you a detective's true despair."
==Gender presentation and identity==
Winter was assigned female at birth.
In an old family photograph and several flashbacks, Winter is shown wearing blouses and dresses. Furthermore, feminine bust curves can be made out underneath Winter's clothing. For example, after Winter removes the policeman disguise and reveals the plain shirt beneath in the Island Observatory Murder Case, while conversing with Mylo at the end of the Yadagami-sama Murders Case, in various instances throughout the Shibuya Revelation Serial Murders Case as well as in the Cryptid Serial Murders Case.
However, unlike in the past, Winter does not present as "feminine" anymore, from clothes to hairstyle. This is also reflected in the character's speech: Winter uses the personal pronoun "ore" (オレ, informal masculine I), even when not disguised as another man.
In the Shibuya Revelation Serial Murders Case, Toto uses "aitsu" (generic "that person") to refer to Winter, though he and Ron switch to using "kanojo" (formal/neutral she/her) for Winter from the Invitation From Mylo Case onward.
This ambiguity and Winter's generally gender-nonconforming appearance has led to surprise and confusion among the audience, from both the West and Japan alike, as many thought the character to be male until the initial childhood flashback in Chapter 72. The official Twitter account for the anime adaptation was also confused, labelling Winter first as "Mylo's younger brother" before changing it to "Mylo's younger sister" in the character visual.Amendment of Winter's character visual — Official Ron Kamonohashi TV on Twitter Moreover, the MangaPlus translation used male pronouns for Winter before shifting to female pronouns from Chapter 73 onward.
FANDOM's Gender Identity Guidelines state that a character's identity within the work/setting should be considered first and foremost when it comes to their gender and pronouns. As Winter's gender identity has not been clarified within the manga yet, the wiki will use neutral pronouns (they/them) to refer to the character until then.
