Starlogy Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 We all know her as the top-tier carnivore that she is, but remember that she's only acting out a role. We don't know if what she's saying is really what she thinks. We don't know if she truly hates vegetables or is extremely dedicated to the role. Hell, we don't even know if Wigfrid's her real name. I really want to figure out who the character playing out the role of Wigfrid is. It's something that makes the character so interesting and mysterious. Thoughts?

Auth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Wigfrid is an actress who is most likely going deeply insane BEFORE she reached the Don't Starve world, as she seems to think of the whole thing as a test to her acting. Meaning, she probably was going a little loopy from this role before Maxwell even went over to her. Which is a shame, because she probably sang really well if it was an opera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rellimarual Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 How old do you think she is? To me, she looks like a child, as do Wendy and Willow. But Wigfrid in particular has a resting face that looks like a determined toddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oCrapaCreeper Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 She's just dedicated. There are a number of lines where she breaks character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemporaryMan Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Nah, she's obviously an adult. Her face just looks that way. It's probably because of the freckles and overbite. And Willow's officially stated to be in her early 20's; her maturity just isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atkvin Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Amassed some Wigfrid examination quotes which give more insight into her origins and details about her. Whirly Fan- "The chilling breeze reminds me öf my frigid höme." Ice Maker 3000- "Reminds me öf höme." Ice- "Reminds me öf höme." Headstone (3)- "Hey, that's my name!" Beefalo (sleeping)- "Söunds like Aunt Hilda." Crow (held)- "Tögether again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and being a method actress(like Robert Downey Jr's character in Tropic Thunder). 6 hours ago, Atkvin said: Amassed some Wigfrid examination quotes which give more insight into her origins and details about her.

Endrew Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 To me, the whole world of Don't Starve is kind of like a "show". You got a magician, a strong man, a mime, etc. There's stagehands and an observer/director enjoying the whole thing on their throne. I think Wigfrid was tricked like Wilson was by being promised a chance to be in the best play ever. This may be why she only breaks character when she's in darkness and no one can see her. Maybe she thinks she's getting a reward, like a pleated shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlesienne Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Two words: Konstantin Stanislavski. Wigfrid is acting the act of a Valkyrie. Scandinavia fits, warrioress fits, finally CROWS FIT (Odin's birds, Valkyries worked for Odin and held some kinship with crows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaotica Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I've long held a jokey belief that Wigfrid is actually just some housewife named, I dunno, Sally Johnson or something from Long Island, who just SNAPPED and ran off one day...but that's just me. (Why Sally Johnson, I have no idea. It's just the name that popped into my head.) As for the quotes listed here, however...those are just her staying in-character. She MIGHT also be from a cold place, but... Whirly Fan- "The chilling breeze reminds me öf my frigid höme."--I'M A VIKING Ice Maker 3000- "Reminds me öf höme."--Again, I'M A VIKING Ice- "Reminds me öf höme."--I'M STILL A VIKING Headstone (3)- "Hey, that's my name!" (everybody says this one, it dates back to vanilla DS) Beefalo (sleeping)- "Söunds like Aunt Hilda."--She _could_ have an aunt with a very Nordic-sounding name, I guess. Maybe she's from Minnesota... Crow (held)- "Tögether again."--Norse mythology, crows are associated with Odin and all that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Really to me the only quotes that are the _real_ person behind Wigfrid are the ones where she admits that this is all a play, ("The curtain falls!" when going too far into darkness, etc.) and even those don't tell you much about her. They just show that on some level she's still aware that she's an actress--but a really, bloody, DETERMINED one who will quite literally starve herself _to death_ rather than break character... ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChaotica Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Exactly. That's why I said she COULD maybe have an aunt named that, maybe...implying that really I think that's still her staying in character. She COULD also legit have an aunt named Hilda, but... Also bear in mind this is the early 1920's, some more old-fashionedy names we don't use as much nowadays could still be around, and/or maybe her parents are only like, first, maybe second-generation imigrants? It's possible. But would be a huge coincidence if so. : P ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
