In this video I discuss why Wanda, Don't Starve Together's latest DLC character (and also coincidentally the final one), just might be the best character ever added to the game for a variety of reasons.

Wanda is the fifth, and actually the final DLC character for an indefinite amount of time. I know that I, along with plenty of others, have been anxiously awaiting the addition of the last character for a while now. With the 3.5 previous DLC characters all being quite drastic additions to the game, fundamentally changing up the way you play the game with varying degrees of success. So it made sense that whoever the final character was to be would continue this philosophy, perhaps to an extreme degree.
And Wanda successfully manages to do exactly that.
Instead of taking damage to a health bar, which can then be healed via certain items, foods, or structures, Wanda ages rapidly and must rewind time using a particular pocket watch in order to prevent a premature postmature death. Taking damage will also add a large number of years to Wanda’s age counter, making it act as a sort of reverse health bar.
And this is an excellent way to design a character for Don’t Starve.
Health is something that you’re pretty much always concerned with as a player. Be it in the early game, the thought of going to fill up your water bottle while standing on top of a tentacle or forgetting which character you’re playing or whatever other clumsy shenanigans you can think of is always present in the back of your mind. Or conversely, be it in the late game, when you might be preparing to take on a particularly difficult raid boss - the thought of perishing is always with you. And although there have been characters who change the ways in which you restore your healthbar - notably Wortox, dependant on souls instead of physical foods, and Wurt, unable to eat meats, a category that contains many potent healing items.
But no character has ever changed how the health bar itself functions. And that’s what’s primarily so intriguing about Wanda. Throughout the game, no matter your personal playstyle, she is going to change the way in which you interact with the game world and go about things.
