wendigo

An unusual creature from Yukon myths, half phantom, half beast, embodying the dangers of Winter in the flesh. An elemental spirit of the wind and cold, it moves through the woods with preternatural stealth and speed, leaving hauntingly scorched trails of distantly spaced footprints in the snow.

It's attributed various powers, including flight, invisibility, the projection of illusions, and a keen tracking sense for its prey - typically unwary travellers, especially young and foolhardy ones.

The most common origin for a Wendigo is the consumption of human flesh during a harsh winter; this awakens a feral hunger that gradually transforms one into the monster. Intentional association with fell powers ('bad medicine') can also achieve the same result.

The Wendigo has been made most famous by its use by Algernon Blackwood in his short story The Wendigo. It's since inspired a Marvel comics character by the same name and various movies and television shows.

Also a well-known knave from Gaia Online.

"Jack Fiddler was one of the greatest Wendigo hunters who ever lived. Against all odds he killed some 14 of the beasts, but his accomplishments were ignored as boasting or lunacy."

"A Wendigo? What do you mean?"

"Pray you never find out, son."

Wendybird

Wholesome, yet hotter than a regular wendy. Someone that rejects derogatory terminology. Always takes the high road. Straight-edge.

Wendybird is way cooler and far nicer than a blake and never participates in nasty antics.

Wendouree

A suburb in west Ballarat. Residents here are known as westies, one doesn't simply become a westie, it takes years of inbreeding, serious pot, meth and alcohol abuse (potentially even being producers of all three) and the ability to have bred many times before you reach 19, mostly with different people (possibly still within family). Obviously the latter point is causing the suburb to grow rapidly but not positively. Wendouree residents are the only people in Ballarat who understand how to use the bus system and efficiently fill out Centrelink forms. On top of this they are extremely adept at using forty gallon drums to keep themselves warm and drawing semi-legible house numbers on their chimneys using spray paint they haven't used for chroming. Recently a community pool has been built, this is to provide basic hygiene because of the ever present risk of 19th century diseases like Cholera and Typhoid.

Wheatgrass wendy

Hot chick deadset on turning the world vegan and talking smack about whooping up on the WORS Clydesdale class, even though there is no scientific evidence to support there is a snowballs chance in hell that would ever happen.

There's Wheatgrass Wendy choking down her shake and talking smack before the ride.
