Winter Willows, Hometown Heroine! Main Girl Showcase

Hey Loopers, welcome back to the Showcases! It's been a bit, and since I haven't been keeping up with my schedule of "once per week" I thought I'd jump straight to one y'all have very much been waiting for.

Winter was actually the first girl created for this game, and somehow ended up with the least amount of screentime. This doesn't mean she's not going to get more, though; I have big plans for her, and you guys are going to be happy we didn't blow our load so fast.

Anyway, here's some fun facts about Winter Willows, the rising pop star of Echo Lake, and our MC's longtime friend.

• Winter's fascination with music started at a very young age, when she began piano lessons. Unlike most young piano prodigies, this was not enforced or suggested by her parents; she was actually inspired to learn piano from mid 2000's pop stars. Even after learning piano to an advanced level, she embarked on an instrumental adventure, expanding her resume to woodwinds, violin, before eventually finding her calling, with a guitar in her hands, singing her heart out.
  

• Summer and Winter, despite being 2 years apart, had been close friends since childhood, due to their parents becoming close friends. During their play dates, Summer would often act as an older sister, guiding Winter around, with bubbly little Winter just so excited to have a "coo friend".
  

• While writing her own music, she would practice in places that helped her concentrate. Among these places were a nearby field, a fire escape outside a friend's apartment, and MC's backyard. Despite many perceiving Winter as a perpetual ray of sunshine, she found peace by channeling negativity and securities into songs, so that they would not consume her.

• She loves most animals, and has owned various random pets, from a bearded dragon to a hedgehog. At the moment, though, she only owns a dog.

Winter was the first girl designed for the game. She actually was based around the name, which has been a name I really love for a long time. The idea was also to name her Winter but have her be (what I thought was) my ideal girl; someone sweet, smart, outgoing, and full of sunshine. Also, for those who remember, she used to look a lot different! Her remake was super essential to the game, and we went through over 50 new versions of her before deciding on her current version.

I have a lot more to say for Winter, but, unfortunately, I cannot right now. I know a lot of you are waiting to meet her. Like I have said before, you still won't get a lot of Winter this update; but as I have also said before, the payoff will truly be worth it. I promise you that.

Look forward to bringing this all to you soon.
