It was way more than that, which is something both Sheena and Shane confirmed. Monty based his characters off people he knew in real life. Winter was heavily based off Sheena, going so far as wanting her to voice the character, and as much as people like to discredit Shane about everything, I really don't think he was lying when he said they completely changed Winter. The existence of Whitley kind of confirms that, to me. He came out of absolute nowhere (kind of like he was a last minute addition to fill what originally was Winter's role. Probably a rival character, especially how Weiss didn't want to speak to her in Volume 2), and he wasn't on that big ass character sheet that even had Weiss' mother on it. And Winter.
