☄ First Impressions

♚ VISUAL:
✖ HEIGHT: 5'7''
✖ WEIGHT: 125
✖ BUILD: Thin limbs, with, surprisingly, some muscle tone. She looks dainty and fragile beneath her clothes though and plays it up.

Long curly blonde hair, usually pulled up in elaborate hairstyles. Currently she's had to make do with simple ones since there's no one around to do her hair for her anymore. Green-blue eyes.

♚ FASHION:
Tends to carry around a silk-lace parasol, in white and green. The handle can be detached to reveal a stiletto blade.

Typically in games she wears clothes that are simpler than her usual full-on Victorian gowns, but still in a Victorian-esque style. Long dresses, almost always in pure-white, and flowers braided into her hair. She almost never wears the same dress twice as they usually get dirty so easily. There are usually small, child-sized handprints on the lower parts of her dresses from the slum children grabbing at them to get her attention. Her shoes have slight heels to them.
♚ DEMEANOUR: She keeps her back straight when sitting or standing, but she's very animated. She uses her hands and arms a lot when she talks, twirls her hair around her fingers and chews on her bottom lip. She moves quickly and doesn't usually take her surroundings into account when she moves, meaning she often can knock things over from moving herself too quickly or suddenly. She's the kind of person that abruptly changes directions or suddenly stops without saying anything and gets surprised when someone crashes into her. She's very touchy-feely with people she feels close to (which is most people) so she's quick to hug, touch the other person's arm or grab them, play with their hair, etc etc. Flaps her hands a lot. She also sometimes still moves like she's wearing one of her full dresses, smoothing her hands beneath her before she sits, for example.

There's always something a little off with her emotional reactions to things, usually she's unflappably cheerful and smiling even when she really shouldn't be, or there's a slight delay when it comes to more serious moments, like she has to take a moment to consider what the appropriate response is.
♚ AURAL: Slightly posh, British accent, quick to laugh. She says "Oh!" and "Oh, well--" and puts stresses on words often. She doesn't curse and usually comes up with silly alternatives. Doesn't stutter usually, unless she's faking it, she speaks very assuredly and confidently. Also speaks very quickly, changing subjects abruptly and hopping around topics.
♚ OLFACTORY: Lemon and lavender. All her clothes and her hair are scented with it (it was a popular scent in her time), and she's fond if it as well. Occasionally branches out, but sticks mostly to floral scents.
♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: On the surface Winnie seems as frivolous and silly as she pretends to be, with worries about what color shawl to wear that day and if it'll match and what tea she should have, etc. Beneath that, however it's almost like a void. There are traces of emotions there, like half-formed ideas on the fringes of her psyche; things she could tentatively hold onto, get an impression of how she was supposed to feel and react, and then slip through her fingers again but nothing concrete. She's empty inside, having no soul, and that reflects in just how easily it is for her to turn off her humanity and regard people as nothing more than insects.

Not that she likes to do that, but the potential is there.
♚ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Winnie doesn't have a soul! Animals and anyone/thing with an animal-like instinct dislike her or are fearful of her because she's just unnatural, an affront to life and nature itself. Animals that are in some way "evil" tend to either like her or just ignore that she's there. But it's totally fine to pick up the fact she's literally got no soul.

☄ OOC

♚ BACKTAGGING: thumbs up
♚ FOURTHWALLING: Well she's an original character so I doubt this would come up.
♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Go for it tbh. Winnie is touchy towards other people, often wanting to touch their arms/hands/shoulders or something when she talks and likes hugs. If physical affection comes from a man, she'll probably be either confused or just laugh it off, though if it keeps up she might scold a man for being too familiar with her.
♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Hit me up OOCly first, if only because while Winnie's obnoxious cheer might certainly end up inviting some kind of physical retribution from more hostile characters, Winnie isn't the greatest fighter. She's had training in swordplay and using a gun, but she's no scrapper or anything.
♚ RELATIONSHIPS: I'm always shipping trash, but due to Winnie's lack of soul/weird thing with emotions, it'll be complicated ICly. But I"m always down for memes/psls/working things through WHATEVER.

♚ CONTENT WARNINGS: Winnie's world deals with themes of classism and body horror, and a lot of 'what does it mean to be a human??' sort of questions. Winnie's actions and emotions are often at odds (or non-existent) with each other. Winnie will wax philosophical about emotions and probe people for what they're feeling and why and really likes to dig in. If this makes you uncomfortable, just let me know!
