Don't Starve characters (Wilson and Willow)

      Don't Starve has 8 playable characters not including expansion packs. The starting character is Wilson who is scientist. Wilson has both 150 health and hunger along with 200 sanity. He has the ability to grow a beard which is useful for surviving the winter. In four days he grows a short beard, 7 days for a long beard, and 15 days to grow a magnificent beard. Depending on the beard length it can provide up to 135 insulation against freezing. His beard can also be shaved for beard hair which allows the player to easily make a meat effigy and it restores 10 sanity. The beard makes him one of the best characters to survive winter with due to the fact it only takes 15 days to grow a magnificent beard and winter comes on day 21.

      Willow is the first unlock able character for Don't Starve that is gained through 160 experience points. She is a girl that suffers from pyromania. She has a lighter that has infinite gas which is useful for lighting things on fire or providing light from the dark. The lighter is basically a weaker version of the torch. She also is immune to fire which can be very helpful considering she has a lighter on her at all times. She has 150 for both health and hunger along with 120 for sanity. Her biggest down fall is that when she has less than 60 sanity she'll light a small fire on her feet which can set ablaze all things around her such as resources and important items. She has the ability to set fire to items in her inventory which will help her regain sanity. Its key to keep in mind that their is no cap on the amount of sanity she can gain from catching things on fire so if she's really low just set ablaze everything around her.
