Winona

Winona is a confirmed character exclusive to Don't Starve Together, who will be released on September 13, 2017.

Winona is described by Klei as "Armed with her indomitable spirit and trusty mending tape, Winona seems to have been plucked straight off the factory line and dropped into the world of Don’t Starve for something’s unfathomable amusement. There may be more to her arrival than it appears, however, as more than a few eyes will be watching the next move of the newest survivor…"

Her leaked speech files reveal that she is a factory worker (though also described as an engineer) who dislikes laziness and things from high society. She is Charlie's older sister (likely mentioned in the William Carter Puzzles) and used to work for Voxola before the factory fire, giving her a rather prominent position in the game's lore.

Special Power

According to her leaked character file, Winona is able to take one free hit from Charlie, meaning that she takes no damage or sanity loss from the first attack, having dodged it. However, this may change upon her release.

Trivia

• Winona's existence as an official character was announced on September 6, 2017.
• She will be the first Character exclusively for Don't Starve Together.
  • This may be because of lore-related reasons, as she wasn't in the world earlier.
  • However, her speech files reveal that she has quotes for Adventure Mode items.
• In the Metheus Puzzles, there was a small piece of writing that read 13/9/17, a hint at Winona's release date.
