Winnifred McFayden

Winnifred "Winnie" McFayden is a tall woman, standing at five-foot-eleven-inches tall. Her strawberry blonde hair is long and short, and her eyes are brown. Her face is oval-shaped, and she prefers to wear it up, whether it's in a bun or ponytail or braid. She prefers layers over long-sleeves: a t-shirt under some flannel or a hoodie or a jacket, along with jeans and boots or sneakers. She's also a fan of sparkly jewelry.

## Personality

If Lance is an established mischief-maker, then Vivi and Winnie have turned it into an art form. They take great joy in messing around with others, even if it leads to other people getting angry with them. They'll do anything from switching places with each other (when they can, at least — now that their dæmons have settled, it mostly just means swapping names when they're around each other) to shocking others to playing elaborate jokes that take *weeks* of planning. Nothing is out of the question for them, but they aren't YouTube pranksters, either — they have more class than that. Needless to say, they're *great* at team work. Winnie is a social butterfly, finding great joy in spending time with other people — even if her goal tends to be messing with them more often than not. She's opportunistic, jumping on new things that appear to her if she thinks they look promising, and is often planning out any actions she takes before she actually takes them. She isn't really one for *back-up* plans, though (even if she does consider plans for multiple actions she might take), which can sometimes land her in hot-water. Out of the pair, she is far more playful than Vivi is, turning anything she can into a joke, enthusiastic about everything around her, and perfectly willing to be dramatic if she thinks it'll be good for a laugh. She can act a bit childish sometimes, too, especially with how nosy she can be when it comes to her loved ones or the sass she possesses or how willing she is to provoke others or just how goddamn *stubborn* she can be. She's tactful enough to know what lines she shouldn't cross and when she should lay off, though, and she doesn't like crossing those boundaries. Unless she doesn't like the person in question. In which case, she can be absolutely ruthless. She can have a bit of a temper and is defensive of her loved ones, and is certainly one to be offended by any insults sent her, her friends, or her family's way. For the most part, though, she is still a good-natured and laid-back type of person. She's optimistic, but tends to hold the belief that *she* has to make things better — sure, she can't do anything with a war or politics or anything else like that, but she can try and help someone else have a better day. Life is short, after all — why waste it being *sad*? She's got better things to do. Because of this, she can sometimes appear as a steady pillar of support for those around her, which she doesn't mind in the slightest. Helping people out is no skin off her nose, so why *should* she mind? At the same time, though, she's reluctant to reach out for any help herself, thinking that she can tough out whatever she's going through all by herself and would be unlikely to accept other support unless it's forced onto her. Winnie's a prideful person — which is unsurprising, considering her career — and is satisfied with most things related to her: she likes the way she looks and is proud of how she makes people laugh. Her pride can sometimes feed into her stubbornness, though, but it also attributes to her confidence: another thing that she has to be, for her chosen career.

## Dæmon

Odysseus. Fennec Fox. Male.

Odysseus is teeny tiny. He has a small, narrow muzzle, a fuzzy tail, and dark brown eyes. His fur is thick and light-colored, with cream fur on his tail, back, shoulders, haunches, and head, and white fur on his chin, throat, chest, and belly. His tail is tipped with black, and his ears are massive.

Odysseus is a happy-go-lucky sort of dæmon. He's constantly grinning and laughing and joking around, and is just as sociable as his human is. He cares deeply about his appearance, and is always sitting tall proud and likes to have his pelt neatly-groomed — he *can*, at times, be a bit vain, but not overly so. He's not afraid to act childish, either, and is perfectly willing to knock someone over or just stick his tongue out at them if he's feeling a bit sulky. He likes to wear shiny things! So he's almost always seen wearing some kind of jewelry.

## History

Before Winnie was born, both of her parents had moved to the Republic. Her father was from Scotland, and her mother was from Fireland. They met, fell in love, and got married in the Republic, and went on to have three daughters — first herself and her twin, Vivi, then her little sister Holly. She lived a pretty average life until she was eleven, when her family got into a car accident. Her parents died from it, as they'd been hit head-on by a much larger car, but Winnie and her sisters survived; though each with some scarring, and she was in the hospital for a few days due to a head injury. After that, their aunt and godmother Clara took them in when her and their sixteen-year-old cousin, Lance, moved to the Republic to take care of them.
