Winnie Knapchuck (Epiphany)

THEME: Winnie Knapchuck is a character in Epiphany. Winnie's weekend home from school has turned into an elongated vacation since things have fallen apart in Paducah. She is confident that rescue is coming and that this illness is only a temporary setback, and believes that she will soon be able to return to school. However, recent events cause her to rethink her place in her family and challenge her ability to survive in tough situations.

Personality
Quick-witted and snappy, Winnie is known for having a fiery attitude but a passion for nothing. Her laziness is often noted by the people around her. She doesn't like to do things for herself or fend for herself in anyway, she likes to manipulate others and talk them into doing things for her.

Determined and feisty to the bone, Winnie is known for not having a good filter and always saying what's on her mind, a quality some actually find endearing and admirable because of her reprobate demeanor. Her bluntness is evident. Winnie is smarter than she gives herself credit for, and likes to have some control over her life and situation. Winnie is sensitive to criticism but also struggles to care about anyone other than herself. Impulsive and eager to prove herself, she makes primarily emotional decisions and frequently acts on her feelings instead of thinking things through.
