Outgoing, clever, creative.

Locations: Cooking Hut, Eating Hall, Bean Patch.

Character: Wingi is the designated cook of Tep. He approaches his work the way he approaches everything else in his life; with zeal, optimism, and a fierce creativity. Outgoing and friendly, Wingi is well liked by Tep's inhabitants. He has a habit of clapping virtually anyone on the back for almost any reason; due to his physical strength, this can sometimes be problematic for the individual so clapped. Wingi's jolly disposition means that he's always the first to laugh at a joke (even if it's his own). Just about the only thing that seems to dampen his good spirits are the rituals of the Three Gods; for these, Wingi performs his part solemnly. Afterward, however, he makes sure to gorge himself on his favorite dishes, proclaiming that being spiritual works up an appetite.

Description: Wingi is an imposing, middle aged man. Though his generous pot belly partially obscures his white loincloth, Wingi's tall, meaty body is still powerfully built. His angular jaw is rough with dark stubble, and a hawkish nose juts from his rangy features. Wingi's dark eyes sparkle, and he always seems to be on the edge of grinning. A large golden hoop earring causes his left ear to droop lower than his unadorned right, giving his countenance an asymmetrical appearance.

"You should try some of Wingi's Best Strama! It's the greatest this island's ever seen!"
"Rametep can't get me! Not if he wants to eat, that is."
"Tep's in a sorry state. But what must be must be. Why not have a big, steaming heap of strama?"
"Try using my new utensil. I call it the sporf! One can eat the broth, cut the meat and spear the fruit, all without having to slow down to change utensils."
"Hey, it's taken many years of hard work to build Wingi's great belly! Wingi rules the Eating Hall and the Cookhouse by virtue of his glorious belly."
