Winnie Reil (Eden Rising)

Winona Reil, commonly known simply as Winnie, is a main character in Eden Rising. Before the outbreak, Winnie got whatever she wanted because of her looks. To describe Winnie shortly: She never does any kind of work, and she isn't afraid of using dirty tricks to get what she wants. But, six years later, Winnie has survived an outbreak of apocalyptic proportions, and she tries to prove that people do change and that she can be a reliable asset.

Personality
Winnie is charming, coy, and knows how to get what she wants. She's spent a lifetime in bars and can read guys very well. Alluring and apparently used to getting her own way, Winnie can turn on the tears just as easily as she can turn on a snappy attitude. Lazy and snobby, she doesn't do any work for herself; she gets others to do things for her.

Because surviving the apocalypse has let her grow as a person, Winnie is ashamed of the life she's led and is constantly trying to change for the better. But, because she is a human and bad habits are tough to change, she is known to reverting back to her old ways for the sake of survival.

History
Pre-series= Winnie's looks had followed her through middle and high school, where the boys would offer to do her homework, hoping for some time with her. She soon learned to take advantage of the attention. When her turn came to test her hand at the job market, Winnie found a passion in modelling, but this dream soon floundered.

She only got her job as telemarketer because she fucked the boss and blackmailed him. In her entire time at Fisher Inc., Winnie didn't make a single sale. She never gave up her dreams of modelling, posting amateur photo shoots on the internet. When she gained the eye of a legitimate modelling agent from Great Britain, Winnie was able to dump her job at Fisher and make the move to Europe to follow her dreams. That, however, is when the world came crashing down around her.

Winnie was never used to doing any sort of work, always used to getting her way thanks to her looks and dirty tricks, but six years later, things have changed and Winnie is slowly but surely making strides to make herself of use to the tight-knit community of survivors she's been living with.

It is known that Winnie takes care of a hunting dog named Skeeter, whose origin is unknown, she and Maia have become good friends, probably due to their similar background, while she and Hiro have started a relationship. Winnie was introduced as a young woman who was tired of being underestimated and overlooked as an asset, trying to catch herself a fish on the massive acres of the Francesci farm. Her boyfriend Hiro attempted to help her, but his impatience and her easily-irritable personality clashed, causing them to erupt into one of their apparently-usual tiffs.

Winnie came forward to her close friend Maia while helping her set up for dinner about her faltering relationship with Hiro. Maia suggested that Winnie join her at church one day. Winnie seemed to dodge the question, so Maia decided she won't be pushy about it.

After a rough night, Winnie attended church and saw Maia inside, who was happy that Winnie opened up her mind and joined her. The two went to the lake afterward, and Winnie finally managed to catch a fish for herself, to which the two young women cheered.
