Winnie

Winnie is a contestant in Total Drama: The Next Generation. She is labeled as **The Horse Girl**.

## Biography

Winnie's family owns a ranch with its own stables. She has her own horse, and enjoys riding it, grooming it, and taking care of it, in general. She has a small circle of friends that also like horses, but doesn’t do much beyond her duties at the stables. Winnie doesn’t have too many distinguishing characteristics besides liking horses.

Winnie joined the Total Drama series in the hopes of hanging out with some wild horses.

## Total Drama: The Next Generation

Winnie was one of the earliest arriving contestants to Total Drama Island. She was shy at first when Max and Clara introduced themselves, but opened up when she had an opportunity to talk about horses. Romelio joked that he had dated some stallions in the past, which Winnie took literally.

In the first challenge, Winnie was dressed as Dinah in a dinosaur onesie, as she was eliminated from the challenge. She stated that she had a horse onesie at home.

That night, Vivi went out of her way to bond with Winnie and spoke with her about her interests, that generally went back to conversation about horses. This included books, historical figures, and her own horse, which was a rescued racehorse.

During the challenge, Winnie was given the assignment to draw the host, Jack, blindfolded. She ascertained that she did not have to draw while wearing the blindfold, but could still fulfill the challenge by drawing Jack wearing the blindfold. Unfortunately, her love for horses worked itself into her drawing, as she drew Jack as a horse, losing her portion of the challenge.

During another task, it was revealed that Tiffany had brought a horse figurine as a personal item. Winnie quickly latched onto the mean girl, and excitedly asked her questions about horses.

Tiffany did not want to be associated with someone she deemed as a 'freak', and ultimately Winnie was eliminated. Winnie was not saddened, as she was thrilled to have met Tiffany who she had deemed as a fellow horse lover.

## Trivia

* Winnie was the second contestant eliminated, placing 17th.
* Winnie is named after another term for a horse's neigh.
* Winnie was also named to have 'win' in her name, as a misnomer.
* It was intended for each character to have a name that started with a different letter of the alphabet. I accidentally had two 'w's with Winnie and Wolf, but I didn’t want to change either name once it was realized.
* Winnie has a ponytail and wears riding boots as references to her love of horses.
* In the first challenge, Winnie was going to dress as Autumn, someone she bears a resemblance to. This was also meant to seem to connect her with Tiffany who was dressed as Missy. Ultimately, she was chosen to dress as Dinah, as I wanted someone to dress as her, and also wanted even representation from non all-star main canon stories. I also considered having her dress as Janice.
* Winnie reading The Godfather because she heard there was a horse in it is a reference to the infamous scene involving a decapitated horse. Fortunately, Vivi took the book from her before she got to that part.
* I was originally going to have Winnie read a book called 'Black Booty', thinking it was related to Black Beauty.
* Winnie mentions liking Richard III, who stated 'my kingdom for a horse' in a work by William Shakespeare.
* Winnie was originally planned to place 16th, but I felt I could wrap her story up neatly and believably in order to give others more time in future chapters.
* Vivi mentioning that she was afraid Tiffany would take advantage of Winnie was a reference to Heather, Lindsay, and Beth as well as Missy and Autumn from my stories.
* In addition to Tiffany not wanting people to associate her with Winnie, she was also voted out due to her poor performance in the challenge.
* In her sleepwear image, Winnie is reading The Godfather as referenced in Total Drama: The Next Generation.
