Appearance
Winza has skin that goes from blue to pink, and long light blue hair with pink, blue, and purple streaks. Her hair curls at the ends and bounces when she moves. She has one eye that is deep purple.

She wears a ball gown with white sleeves that fall just below her shoulders, and a pink sleeve going down her right arm and a blue sleeve down her left. The sleeves cover most of her hands, like fingerless gloves. She wears a faded blue to pink pinafore and a violet top. Her skirt goes from a more vivid pastel blue to a pale pink color, and has a lilac petticoat underneath. She wears deep purple shoes.

Her gemstone, cut in a triangular facet, rests on her collarbone.

Personality
Winza is kind and compassionate, and could be best described as naive. She is subject to frequent mood swings.

She is very skilled at problem solving however, and likes to offer her friends advice. She sometimes has difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality. She is very open minded and tries to befriend everything she meets, not limited to Gems and humans.

History
Winza originally served on Pink Diamond's court, but was eventually relocated to Blue Diamond's court. She was a favorite of both Diamonds and was very popular among other high ranking Gems.
