History Characters / DeadOfWinter

* EatTheDog: A situation may come up where the colony needs Sparkyburgers to survive.

* DropTheHammer: Wields one on his survivor card and standee.

* DreamingOfThingsToCome: She can look at the crisis cards, and offer hints (totalling no more than two words) as to what is to come. She can also change the order of the cards if she likes.
* FortuneTeller: Her job description.

* {{Anvilicious}}: The racism aspect in her story is delivered in a very ham-fisted fashion.

* MountainMan

* TheMillstone: Even more than Forrest. Anita has more Crossroads cards than anyone else. They involve her doing a terrible job at something she's supposed to be good at. And if the player doesn't let her fail, this can make things worse.

----

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Low influence and people yell at him in his Crossroads card.

* ActionPet

* PostApocalypticDog

Regular guy. Brown-haired guy riding a motorcycle.

* AnAxeToGrind: On her survivor card and standee. It has no gameplay features.

* SupremeChef: She can make even spoiled food better.

* NearlyNormalAnimal: Sparky is capable of doing everything the human Survivors can, such as attacking zombies, searching for food, and building barricades. This becomes a little silly when a Crossroads Card is triggered that requires outsiders to interact with Sparky, and the dialogue suggests that they think he can respond back in English.
** It gets downright absurd when Sparky doesn't have any limits on using weapons in battle—essentially, the dog can use bats, knives, and even GUNS like a human survivor.
** One fan theory [[https://boardgamegeek.com/article/19023088#19023088]] attempts to explain this: "…he's actually an actor from a child[ren's] show who had a psychological breakdown after some kids died waiting for Sparky from TV to save them, so now he thinks he actually IS a dog."

* ShoutOut: InUniverse to Rain Man, invoked in his introduction.

* NiceHat: One of the few who wears one in the cold weather.
