FEATURES
__________________________

-UNIQUE GAMEPLAY!: Heather's healing factor comes with both benefits and drawbacks. While simple in concept, her strengths and weaknesses play off of each other in a unique way that encourages a type of playstyle that no other characters that I've seen, mod or no, really do.

-CUSTOM ART OF HIGH-ISH QUALITY!: I'm not going to say it's the best art in the world or anything, but the art does look pretty good, if I may say so. Maybe around 70-80th percentile, on the scale of relative quality, as far as mods go.

-ALL NEW DIALOGUE!: So much dialogue, you guys. Every spoken word has been rewritten for her. That's over 1,000 lines of dialogue, yo.



SPECIFICS
___________________________

What all about Heather sets her apart? I'm glad you asked, voice in my head!


-SPECIAL ABILITY: Healing Factor-
Heather naturally regenerates health over time, due to her mutation. The rapid cellular activity also increases her body temperature, insulating her from the cold, and the fluctuationg amounts of muscle tissue in her arms and upper body causes her damage output to shift with her current health. However, all that cellular material doesn't just come out of nowhere; it drains energy very quickly, increasing the rate that her hunger drains.

Here's the kicker: the LOWER Heather's Health gets, the MORE INTENSE those effects become.

So, for example, at full/high (75% and above) health, the effects of the healing factor are:
-Regerates 0.5hp per second,
-Increases insulation by 25,
-Increases damage output by 1.1x
-Drains hunger 1.5x faster than normal

But at minimum health (below 25%), the effects are much more drastic:
-Regenerates a crazy 5hp per second,
-Increases insulation by 100 (About as much as a Winter Hat)
-Doubles damage output.
-Drains hunger a whopping 5x faster than normal.

So, do you let your health regenerate your wounds, at the expense of hunger? Or do you heal at every opputunity, to conserve the few scraps of food you have and stave off the absurd starvation rates that accompanies low health? What do you even do during the summer?

-2x Running Speed-
When normal people exercise, their muscles form tiny little tears in them (this is why muscles get sore after lots of physical activity, and those tears repairing is why muscles get stronger). Heather's healing factor repairs these tears faster than they are formed, significantly increasing her athletic abilities.
This allows her to combat her fast hunger drain by making resource collection faster, and also makes her health regeneration easier to exploit mid-combat.

-120 Max Health-
Heather is frail. Not as frail as some other characters, but frail enough so that you need to err on the side of caution in combat. Remember: when caught in the thick of things, that healing factor only does so much.

-200 Max Hunger-
May seem like a lot, but in reality she goes from a full belly to starving ever so slightly faster than other characters even with the boost. This just means that you can eat more foodstuffs to bring your belly up back to full when hungry.

And... yeah. That's about it. Have fun. Don't Starve.


FAQs:
______________________

Q: RoG Compatible?
A: Yup, says so in the tags. This was made with RoG in mind. Should be compatible with the base game without RoG as well, as nothing in the mod specifically needs RoG, but I haven't tried it, so not 100% sure about that.

Q: Will you make this for Don't Starve Together?
A: I already have! Get it here. http://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=391086703

Q: Why her name no start with 'W'?
A: Because I couldn't think of any names for her that I liked that started with W. I've had this character with that name floating in my crainial meatslab since before I even bought this game, and 'Weather' is a stupid name.

Q: The healing factor isn't working!
A: Yes it is. That bug has been squashed.

Q: She looks like the Female Titan!
A: I know! Well, I know now. They do have some similarities, but that wasn't done on purpose; the resemblance was completely unintentional. Remember, the Female Titan's design is basically just a female without any skin - the same thing Heather was designed to look like.
