Although her whimsical nature often causes others to overlook her, Winter is intelligent and finds creative solutions to her problems. She is very kind, forgiving, and sympathetic, treating everyone with respect despite being royalty. Winter keeps a positive outlook on life and exudes an elegant aura, which draws people towards her.

(Context for Line 1- Winter is hallucinating and is explaining what she’s seeing to her best friend (and crush), Jacin.) The walls—the walls are bleeding. The chandelier, too, and it’s on my shoulder, and I think it’s staining my shoes. I can smell it and taste it, and why—(Her voice breaks. Beat.) Why does the palace hurt so much, Jacin?
(Context for Line 2- Winter is trying to get a pack of aggressive genetically engineered soldiers on her side.) I know you still want to eat us- we must be tender morsels to you. But if you choose to help us, you will receive more than just a morsel. You can feast on the queen herself. And wouldn’t that be more satisfying? (Beat.) Fight with me. I will not control or harm you. You will have your freedom.
(Context for Line 3- Winter playfully asks Jacin to help her assemble her model solar system. However, he is concerned about leaving his guard post.) I hoped you might be able to help me with Saturn. It’s the last one to be painted, and I thought I could take the rings, if you want to do the planet… (Beat.) Don’t be silly, it may be improper for a princess to be alone with a guard with questionable intentions, but there’s no rule against guards she’s known since she could walk.
