Appearance: Windy is as sweet and gentle as she looks. Her long brown hair is naturally wavy, and hangs past her shoulders, the colour of her hair matching the deep brown colour of her eyes. She often has calm look on her face, and she doesn’t wear any make up except on extremely special occasions like birthday’s or weddings. Windy has a small mole on her left cheek that she’s had since she was born, and an even less obvious one on her right. She’s rather petite, standing just on 5’3’’ and is rather slender with no muscle tone as the only working out she ever gets is chasing the dog. Windy completely loves nature and the outdoors, and her wardrobe reflects that. She has a very bohemian look with long dresses that flow with your body and earthy tones. She tries to make sure that if she is going to be hanging outside for longer periods that she’s dressed right, jeans and wearing older clothes, but considering the amount of time she spends outdoors it’s near impossible.

Persona: Natalie Portman

Personality: Windy seems to love everything, especially nature, Ambrose Island and animals. She’s sweet and gentle, but not having travelled a lot of the island, she is extremely naive. She likes to feel comfortable and safe, so she often comes of to most people as the shy quiet type, but once you can get past that outer wall, she’s rather talkative. One thing that only her very close friends and family know about Windy is her wild untamed imagination. She’s always thinking up stories and has had a knack for making up fascinating tales about the most boring things since she was a little girl. This is one of her most endearing qualities, and she could easily be a writer, but she being so self-conscious she doesn’t think any of her stories are good and prefers to keep them to herself. The recent death of her mother has hit Windy extremely hard due to the fact that the two were close, and as she was forced to watch her mother slowly waste away as cancer took over her body. She prefers not to talk about her faith or her mother’s death, as both are topics that can easily bring her to tears (and being self conscious she doesn’t like to cry around people). She turned her back on the one thing that for a long time gave her hope, and now she’s at a loss as to what to do. Her mother’s death has caused Windy to become even more cut off from the world, as the only place she feels safe now is in her imagination.

Pets: Her Uncle has two dogs, a male Alsatian called Macguyver, and an old male herding dog called Gus. Windy also has a dog that she rescued from the side of the road when she was thirteen, called Stella who barely ever leaves her side. The family also has a young pig called Pumpernickel that Marie gave her daughter just before she died. Being around three dogs though, the little one has come to believe she is also dog.

History: Windy-Rose is a true small town girl, barely having left Ambrose Island let alone the state or the country. She's the third generation of her family born on the island, so for Windy, Ambrose is as big as the world gets. Her parents became high school sweethearts their senior year, and married just after both had turned nineteen. Marie and Eric both knew that Ambrose was the perfect place to start a family, and that was just what they did with Windy. Marie was ten days overdue with Windy when they the doctors made the decision that Marie should be induced. The induction was planed for eight the following morning, but it seemed that fate chose otherwise. Marie's water broke at eleven, the night before the induction figuring they had time, they waited a few hours before they left (being first time parents and not knowing much better).

The couple were en route to the hospital, but a large storm had come in off the coast and was wreaking havoc on the mainland. There was localized flooding, lightening had knocked out power to some area and a large tree had been knocked over by a large gust of wind blocking the main road to the hospital. Eric and Marie were stuck on the road, half way between the hospital and the motel that they'd been staying in while they were on the mainland for the birth. Marie's labour got more intense and Eric knew they were in trouble and called an ambulance to their location. By the time the EMT's arrived Marie was in full labour and went onto have the couple's first daughter I the back of the car. Windy-Rose was named after the fashion she was born, during a windy storm on Rose Street. Marie often joked her middle name derived from the fact that after she was born the sky cleared up and it was a crystal clear night but in fact it was just as she liked the name.

Growing up on Ambrose, and having parents that were born there meant that the island for Windy was always one big back yard. She was taught were all the best spots on the island were and came to know the area like the back of her hand. She was always rather shy, feeling more safe by herself due to the fact that she'd always had a large imagination that daunted other people. Windy could easily make up amazing stories about the most mundane things greatly enjoying making up stories to explain some of the more interesting natural geological features of the island. Her mother was an elementary school teacher, while her father was a mover who packed and transported people's belongings from one home moving it to their new residence. The job entailed a lot of travelling, but Eric always tried to bring Windy something home from each of his adventures.

It was during one of his runs off the island that he was killed in a hit and run, the driver stopping barely a moment before continuing off. People rushed to his side to help Eric, but there wasn't much that could be done, and he died while waiting for the ambulance to arrive. To help with her own loss, her mother turned to her faith, guiding Windy too it as well. Over time she became rather devout needing to believe that even if police couldn't punish her father's killer god would. Slowly Windy got back to her normal self, regaining her love of nature often spending hours outside in a nice spot reading and conversing with the island. But when she was fifteen, her mother suddenly and with no reason got extremely ill, finding it difficult to breath. The doctors ran a battery of tests, only to find out that Marie had cancer (something that ran in the family).

Marie started chemotherapy in the hopes of killing the cancer, but all it seemed to do was slow the spread down, so they tried radiation therapy, but the cancer began to metastasise, nodules spreading from her lungs to the inner wall of her chest cavity, her liver and some of her vertebra. The summer had just started, when the doctors informed the family that the cancer was metastasising still, and she only had a few months left too live. Windy didn't know what to do, she was extremely close to her mother and had already lost one parent and didn't want to loose another.

Everyone around Windy tried to help Windy in their own way, each explaining to her what they thought she needed to hear. Some from the church tried to tell her that it was a test of faith for her mother and she needed to just pray and be strong for her, but Windy couldn't understand why an omnipotent god would test Marie by making her suffer. All Windy could do was watch her mother get progressively sick, and be in constant pain from the cancerous nodules that were growing on her bones, making her cry and pray that the pain would stop as she couldn't bare the agony any more. It was then that Windy completely turned her back on her faith. Euthanasia was against Catholic beliefs along with suicide, and her mother being devout neither was an option. Windy was forced to watch her mother slowly waste away until she stopped praying for the pain to stop, but praying to die.

When it got near to the end of Marie's life, Marie and Windy had a talk about things. She explained that she'd live in the same house, and Uncle Timothy (who'd moved in when Marie first got ill), would take care of her and that she had to keep living, keep smiling, keep looking after the animals, and get her grades up (which had slipped since her mother's illness) Her mother then gave her the strangest gift that was truly in her style and had meaning for her. She offered Windy a basket, inside was a photo album of pictures of her and her parents when she was a baby, the book Charlotte's Web, and a piglet. Windy was confused, but her mother told her to read the book, name the pig and come back to her when she'd done both. Windy stayed up all that night with the piglet which she called Pumpernickel and read the entire book from front to back and understood why.

It was her mother's way of telling her that she knew she was going to die, and it didn't matter to her, as she had a beautiful daughter who'd live on without her and go onto have children of her own. But Windy never got the chance to tell her mother she understood, as she passed away while Windy was in her room reading the book. Marie only died a month ago, and it's still a very open wound for her Windy who is now stuck trying start her senior year, without the support of her mother behind her. Family friends have tried to get her to go back to the church, but she refuses as she can't understand how someone like her mother who truly lived for her faith could be allowed to die so unmercifully, yet the person who let her father die go free.
