Personality: Wichita, more often than not, tries to seem pretty closed-off and serious. And she is, when she has to be. She's learned how to keep herself detached from a lot of her feelings, since most of the time they can only be used against her. The zombie virus hasn't turned her into a cold hard killer or anything, but there's little in the world that can really get under her skin or make her question any decisions she's made. She doesn't let things slip, and if it seems like she did, it was most likely intentional. The world she lives in has forced her to become a manipulator, a con-artist, and she's not ashamed of it either. If not just because most of the time, once she cons someone, she'll never see them again. There's no room for second guessing when your life is on the line. She believes there's also little room for making friends, let alone actually trusting anybody they cross paths with either. Her trust issues are deep rooted now, and most of the time even if it seems like she's warmed up to someone, she probably hasn't.
Survival is her main focus in Zombieland (which is what she and many others have come to call Earth), and her sister's survival comes before all else. Sure it's been said at least three times already, but most if not all of her decisions are made with her sister in mind. Krista would risk everything to keep her sister safe, and happy, and she's done it before. She tries not to be too over-bearing on Little Rock, but to an outsider she really might come off that way. The sisters have become best friends through all of this, so (at least, in Wichita's eyes) the control is pretty evenly distributed between the two of them.
Zombie apocalypse aside, Krista can be pretty likable. Really! It takes some time for people to get to see the "old" her, but before the virus hit her hometown she was social, popular, and all the other things you can expect from a pretty girl. She's used to getting her way, but she's not a complete brat when she doesn't. Krista's very grounded, but she definitely likes to have some fun when she gets the chance. Which is rare, in Z-land, but if the opportunity arises, she's on it. She's got a cutting, sarcastic sense of humor, and a cheesy side, even if she has to be a little drunk to let it show. While she doesn't put much thought into relationships or 'hooking up', she does have a bad habit of flirting without meaning to, or caring much about the aftereffects. She likes being the 'cool chick', and she'll rapid fire pop-culture references at you to prove it.
Other: She's a huge comedy flick fan, with a particular liking for Bill Murray movies, and has a habit of laughing at all the wrong moments. Her first temporary tattoo was of a porpoise, first kiss was with a hottie named Scotty Lynch, and 1997 overall was a pretty damn good year for her. Wichita is an awesome shot with a firearm, and she's pretty fearless when it comes to defending herself. She doesn't consider herself 'risky', but if she needs to leap without looking, she'll do it. Nine times out of ten though, her moves are all pretty calculated.
