Personality:
A fully converted peace-loving, but fairly lonely girl who's developed anxiety and a high amount of caution from being by herself and around bad influence for too long. A large quantity of violence around her is hard for her to tolerate with-- Winona becomes visibly anxious around it with her reaction consisting of shaking, hard breathing, paling face, slight sweating, and the urge of nervously stepping forward to stop any type of fights so she doesn't have to see it. Her anxiety can reach to even greater heights where she'd start screaming in horror and force herself to stay away from others due to her mindset being completely twisted in every way. It is easy to get her very anxious with just a single lie or anything capable of hurting her-- her downfall is forgiving people immediately only to possibly have it repeated thus leading her to try and hide away from them. She treats everyone equally and with more than a fortunate amount of love and care-- in the army she treats everyone as if they were her very own siblings that she loves dearly-- though sometimes it felt as if it was more. With a broad royal type of attitude, she is capable of hiding her anxiety from everyone and act as if nothing was wrong with her, however in her mind, it's an empty void of nothing but heartbreak and distortion. Winona can speak like a royal or capable leader at her age only if her will was still strong enough to hide her side that craves for attention as well as containing anxiety. When she is alone, however, she will not speak nor move and will only sit in one spot staring straight ahead or quietly pray to the Goddess, Mila, like she believed she was brought to do. Winona does not know what it is like to be loved or cared for, therefore craves for it terribly to the point where it hurts her internally even when attention is given to her. One may think of it as being highly desperate, but at this point, she has inherited some of her mother's poor personality. In her way of thinking, she just wants love on the spot rather than experience the pain in life thus defining her crave immensely. Though there are many things that she view as beautiful, she always manages to find the ugly in everything due to her anxiety much to her dismay. Winona happens to keep things hidden in order not to hurt anyone as well as to staying as honest as she possibly could, she does not approve of lying in any sort of way. She easily gets discouraged and upset when she knows someone hates her.

Fern green hair, teal blue eyes, and fair skin

Her long bangs reach up to her eyelashes of her soft slender eyes and rests at the center of her face and the sides. Some of her hair is pulled over her shoulders, twirled up, and secured with a small red and gold cuff. She has a white headdress decorated in gold and connected to a gold circlet with blue gems connecting a loose red and gold triangular piece in the center worn on her head. The back of her headdress has a rose formed in the back and two "ears" hanging down from it.

Winona's outfit consists of a white, gold, and red lined dress that is slit down in the middle from her hips and below. The first layer of her top dress is decorated in gold symbols as well as golden pieces that keep her dress together and hanging off her arms comfortably-- around the chest, it is cut into a heart shape. Underneath the gold pieces are white feather shaped cloth pinched together to create an illusion of feathers on it-- lines are seen running randomly on the cloth. The same design is seen around her shoulders as an epaulet but they are connected to a scarlet and gold brooch that is fastened to the center of her secondary sleeveless black dress. Large white puffy sleeves are connected to the gold piece underneath the feathered cloth also decorated in gold near the red folds of the sleeves and the slits under her arms. White mesh is seen covering her entire hand when it is left down as well as around the bottom of her first layer of her dress under the gold pieces decorating the wide skirt. The back of the skirt is cut into a heart cut at the lower center and the skirt ends up creating two mini coat tails. The first layer from the hem ends above her ankles and with the white mesh it ends above her feet. The second layer of her dress is light blue and reaches to her ankles. Around her waist is a gold chatelaine with a scarlet sash looping around it loosely. The sash is tied into a bow on her left with the tails hanging long-- the ends are decorated in gold and dark blue. Her second dress she wears underneath is a turtle neck--with open sides-- and is decorated in gold to match her first. Her short heeled boots are white and gold; they are a bit loose and arches upwards in between her legs-- they reach up to her calves. Winona also wears black and gold detached sleeves under her puffy ones.

Biography:
Winona was born in the year of 387 in the Valentian calendar and the year of 592 in the Arcanean calendar. She was born in a small village in the south but was raised in a temple up north amongst Zofia's land with a mother who did not bother to treat her like a daughter and without a father around her. As an infant, Winona's mentally disabled mother-- Marah-- decided to take her away from her father, Barloc, and raised her to be hateful and deceiving at an unoccupied temple the was not yet taken by brigands and located marginally near sea yet was still in the woods. The crazy woman, Marah, was all too distrusting towards everyone and even her husband. This was due to the fact that she was always running around marrying man for man to gain proper love and most people viewed her as disgusting because of it-- by the time she remarried to Barloc who seemingly did love her for who she was, her mentality was already too unstable to recover thus resulting her to leave the village. The young girl was, at first, planned to be thrown out to sea near the woods, but instead she was left alone to take care of herself during this time of childhood, locked in the temple with her hateful mother. Each passing day as the young girl grew up, she was taught something new everyday beginning at the age of four despite the lack of understanding. Her mother had told her she was abandoned by both her parents and that love didn't exist nor would it ever exist. Soon her lessons increased to where her saying abides to nothing good comes out of good deeds for she'd only be used by outsiders and that power was the only way to survive. It soon came to the point where Winona was drowned into the fact where she will always be alone and that it's better to be alone, so she shouldn't be wasting her time socializing or making contact with others. Marah slowly lost her will and changed into a witch, a mindless puppet who began to teach her own lifeless eight year old daughter strictly harmful black magic to kill anyone who came into her sight. She also then taught Winona how to deceive others and use them under her will.

The temple eventually was found by a few sisters on a pilgrimage who then began to come visit their newly discovered sanctuary to offer goods and pray for the goddess Mila in the temple. Quickly, Winona's mother viewed the women as a threat to herself and Winona which caused her to boldly attack the group. There were the possible results where they could inflict "bad lessons" on her daughter if she tried to communicate with any of them. The sisters were surprised by her attack and those hit managed to live. Beckoning her quietly lifeless daughter to start attacking despite the risk of inflicting harsh pain, the girl abide like the doll she was. Seeing how much it had affected the young girl to have her mother around, the sisters quickly inflicted injuries on Marah and decided to take Winona away from her mother where the woman could not reach her. During her time with the sisters, the young girl was converted into a saint-in-training rather than a witch she was about to fall into. Their ways of teaching highly conflicted with her mother's where love did exist and that it was earned through kindness, good deeds and having it reciprocated back. She was soon taught that making bonds with others gave her strength rather than seeking for power alone to hurt everyone in sight. The girl remained quiet and lifeless as she stayed at the new temple, but she soon began talking little by little in oddly enough a soft spoken yet royal manner. Sadly enough, she was highly intoxicated by her mother's teachings to where she could no longer tell what was exactly good and what was exactly bad-- only vaguely thanks to the sisters of the temple. And because she never left her temple, she never knew what existed in the open world. Her fellow sisters always spoke with her to give her warm company and soon they taught her a safer way to wield black magic as well as white magic to aid those in need. Whenever her company left her alone, she was always seen-- if tried to peek at-- hunched over in her kneeling position weeping to her own insecurities. Ever since conflict in both teachings clashed against each other in her mind, Winona held the feeling of being stuck in between where she was unable escape. Deciding it was best not to tell her comrades, the young girl thought it was best to convert into the better side of things where she was treated with respect and care thus allowing her to form her all-out peace loving figure and feeling scared of the violence she once took on.

As the war began to build up, brigands started to take over more and more areas they could reach out to and terrors soon rose from the dead out of the ordinary. Peace around the area was completely disorganized and the ladies grew weary of the constant news of attack. The temple was soon overridden by brigands days later with a spy from the Duma Faithful amongst the group who aimed to snatch the young girl. It was her full capacity of being able to convert into a power hungry witch that he was aiming for her. The sisters-- aware of their main objective-- quickly evacuated Winona away from the temple and because she had no understandings of what was going on, the girl panicked for the first time. The sisters, at this point, ended up suspecting Marah to be the one after her daughter, but none was for certain whether she had joined the Duma Faithful or not-- neither did they know what had happened to her the day they took Winona out from her grasp. Told to run as far as she could and to defend herself as well as she can, Winona was lucky enough to have the others hold back their pursuers as she escaped, but she was soon alone once more with the sisters either dead, taken to be sold off, or forcefully converted to witches. Panicking for her life, Winona looked for a safe area to hide though to no avail there were none. She was still being pursued by both brigands and a follower of the Duma Faithful-- she was aimed to have her soul fed to Duma where she'd be a successful witch to control at any given time due to Marah's bad influences from the beginning. As she continued to run, Winona quickly finds Celica's army and requests for her aid to protect her from her pursuers and soon after she eventually asks to join their cause that way she could use the group to keep herself protected without the need to deceive. For a short glance at the princess, however, she believes that she has met Celica a few times before, but she cannot tell whether that is true or not even if Celica has claimed they have seen each other. Though before they could leave, the surviving follower managed to easily gain control over the weak minded girl and was soon cut away from it once he was killed.
