== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Very little is known about Winston's life in England, although what's known is that both of his parents were botanists and would try to share their interests among him and help him get in touch with nature. Unfortunately, he usually wasn't very interested in his parents' studies.
During his term in school his was picked on by various schoolmates and bullies who stole his lunch, locked him in closets, and called him names such as "Loser-ston", and due to having very low self-esteem and courage, he rarely if ever fought back and couldn't stand up for himself. Although, considering he was allowed to be student to be a foreign exchange student, it's possible he was a very gifted student.
=== Adjusting to Athenia ===
Upon, arriving in America and parting to head off to Devon's house, Winston's parents would eventually drop Winston off and have him walk to Devon's house when they were close, carrying a suitcase and using his phone as a GPS. Winston would take a wrong turn on a certain street and finds himself in a forest instead of Devon's place, which he wasn't aware of yet, confused at where he was.
Winston's nearly eaten alive by Edgar the Giant, which King Oberon interferes with preventing Edgar from harming him. Versitude acted surprised to see an "other" in Athenia, and suggested that maybe Edgar should eat him alive after all, which Oberon refuses to allow as Winston was Astral's shield until she returned home. Still trying to adjust to his new location, Queen Titania would inform Winston he was in Athenia and that their woods were more wonderous than anything he could experience in his world. She encouraged him to have patience, after he expressed his dislike of botany. After walking for quite some time, Winston would encounter Versitude again, and he'd ask if they were circus people due to their constant pop in and out. Winston misinterpreted this as being at wizard school and gleefully exclaimed at the idea, much to Versitude's annoyance.
The next day, Winston would continue to pester Versitude about the "wizard school", even after she asks him to leave her alone, which eventually annoys her to her breaking point. Versitude deceives him by telling him to sit on a bridge completely still and silent until his powers eventually came, which he commits to for an untold length of time, until Brendoni convinces Winston he knew a quicker way and makes a deal with him. Brendoni would land Winston into a series of harmful pranks (involving jumping in mud 100 times, running into a tree 22 times, and nearly eating a bug) claiming he was helping him learn to be a wizard, before eventually dismissing him and saying he didn't have what it took. Although when Queen Titania learned about Winston's troubled past in England with his classmates, she stated Winston was doing Athenia a great service being there, and helped Winston get back at Brendoni.
After Brendoni tries another prank on Winston, only for the prank to affect King Oberon and Queen Titania, the two of them wonder what they'd do with them, and confront him saying he'd learn why the "others" needed them and vice versa, explaining they needed the "others" since only said others can get themselves out of the mess they created, and their magic can only reach so far. But even with their best efforts, Brendoni would ignore their advice and nearly swallow Winston whole -- before being order to spit him back out. Versitude suggests sending him into the mortal world as a last resort, which Oberon agrees to hoping that being surrounded by "others" would force him to change.
=== Finding Himself ===
Later that day, Queen Titania would offer Winston some dandelions, radishes and pinecones from nature as a meal, but was hesitant on eating them. He'd notices some berries on a bush, which Titania vaguely warns him not to eat, but as soon as Titania left, Versitude would show up. Winston didn't want to take any more risks due to all the pain he had been through so far, but Versitude deceives Winston claiming the berries were good for him, but in reality, it was a trap as the berries would were slowly transforming him into a donkey as he ate a certain amount. He initially tries to hide the truth from the king and queen, but ends up having to resort to confessing before the spell got worse, Titania reverses the spell, which would change him back with he proves himself worthy.
A few days would pass where Winston would nearly get tied to wagons and buggies due to being part donkey, and he'd eventually ask Queen Titania to change him back to a full human, to which Titania vaguely states that the lessons he picks up were important, and that he should allow himself to learn them. Not to long afterward, Winston would encounter a young, hyperactive fairy named Peaseblossom who got tangled in a tree's vines, and offer to untangle her from the vines, the vines where too thick to untangle, and he gets stuck too, but Winston's able to use his donkey teeth to chew through the vines and free both of them, which was just the selfless act needed to fully reverse his donkey spell and return him to normal. 
Peaseblossom gives Winston a brief tour of Athenia, and the two come across a dying summerberry bush, even though plants usually never die in Athenia. Versitude comes across the two with the dying summerberries, as they're about to report the die plant to King Oberon. Versitude insisted that Oberon didn't have time to be address by those two. but callously decides to frame the duo for "destroying" the berry bush, knowing they were innocent, and she suggested they fix the bush on their own, assuming they'd be unable to do so. After various failed attempts to make a difference, Winston eventually discovers the bush's water source had trash from the human world in it, which he and Peaseblossom take care of. cleaning the water and allowing the bush to regrow.
