Better character perk/stats descriptions

[Serph]

I would like alot if during the character selection, we could see more detailed info about the characters, the ones we have are classic and/or cute but some of them aren't helpful at all, there is always that one new player that has no idea how the character he/she is using works.  For example:

Wilson
-Grows a magnificent beard.

This one is obvious if you watch any blind let's player. Nobody thinks "Oh boy, this beard surely will help me with Winter and give me some free meat effigies!", they think "What the hell does being a scientist has to do with beards?" Wilson is supposed to be an easy to play character and every inexperienced Wilson i see either shaves the beard whenever they can and burn the hair or leave the beard there until they die. He is a "noob friendly" character that noobs have no idea how to use.

Willow
-Resistant to fire damage
-Can craft lighter and bear
-Loses heat when insane

More than twice i asked a random Willow to cook something quickly for me and she asked me how to do it. Can you guess why they didn't know? Probably because it's not stated anywhere she can do that. And it's not only the cooking. Nowhere it's stated that she gets sanity from fires. Or even a hint of how her teddy bear works. Does it give you heat? Does it give you sanity? No, it distracts shadow creatures. Now i ask, how the hell is a new player supposed to learn any of these naturally? If a new Willow gets insane she will forget the fire/bear and panicly run around until the freezing kills her. All of Willow's perk seem to be focused on helping inexperienced players with cooking, sanity gaining and insanity control but because none of those things are told, she sounds like the hardest for a newcomer.

Wolfgang
-Gets stronger with a full belly
-Afraid of dark and monsters

Wolfgang description is the least helpful in the game. Nowhere there is stated how his mightyness works, a new player won't have any idea that his hunger goes down faster because his 300 points belly hides that. If anything, "Gets stronger with a full belly" is a really bad advice because any new player would understand it as "I have to eat all the time to keep myself strong and fast!", which is exactly of opposite of how Wolfgang should be played!


Wendy
-Haunted by her twin sister
-Confortable with darkness
-Doesn't hit very hard

The first line isn't helpful by any means, and nowhere does it say how to summon Abigail. Not only that but "Confortable with darkness" gives the fake idea that she doesn't lose any sanity during dusk and night. She does lose, it's just 25% less than the others.

Wx
-Not a picky eater
-Chargged by lightning, damagged by water
-Can upgrade with gears

Not a picky eater is a bit ambiguous. It could be easily understood that WX has a slower hunger or can eat hp damaging food. Besides that, the others are fine.

Wickerbottom
-Knows many things
-Self publishes books
-Can't sleep, hates spoiled food

See, this is one is way more clear than the others. I would say the book thing could be better but her book tab is obvious and anyone who tries her will quickly see and understand.

Woodie
-Has a lovely Axe
-Has a terrible secret
-Thankful for bountiful harvests

Woodie is probably the worst of them all. You don't learn about the transformation until it's too late and if you don't know you can eat wood is even worse. The third perk description is especially awful, it can be interpreted in so many ways it's not even funny (it means you get sanity by planting trees). It doesn't explain all his other perks, like the small beard insulation and bonus time with befriended mobs (i had no idea those existed until i read the wikia!).

Wes
-Can't talk
-Has trouble staying alive
-Practices ballonomancy

I think these descriptions are fair but they don't do a good job conveying the idea that Wes is a joke/challenge character.

Webber
-Is a monster
-Can befriend spiders
-Grows a silky smooth beard

I think Webber is one of the most played characters between newbies because they see his description and understand "Hey, this guy can eat monster meat and won't get attacked by spiders! He must be the best character!". They dont understand that every passive mob in the game will attack you and that Webber has only 100 sanity and as such, die pretty fast.

Wigfrid
-Excels in battle
-Gains power from fallen foes
-Can only eat meat

Wigfrid is fine. She is a simple character with simple description, but i'd wish they changed the second line to "Drains health and sanity with every attack".

I think everyone should be able to see their characters stats and better perk descriptions. I'm sure it would help a lot making new players understand how each character works, and (maybe) people would complain less about them.

Still, its always fun to discover something new about a character, whether positive or negative. E.G i never knew that Wendy could summon abigail, but i accidently dropped the flower nest to a spider nest and it spawned her, and i was super proud of myself for discovering that part of wendy's character. The fun thing about alot of games is getting better, and if you do hours of research of everything the games gonna get boring rather quickly. Better just to find out bit by bit so you can savour every moment of gametime.
