Known Background: Windsong was born on the Winter solstice 1950, to Running Water & Eagle Feather. Running Water died shortly after a long and hard labor. Eagle Feather tried his best to raise her right, but he was not accustomed to having a girl around. When your father is the Chief of your tribe and you are not a boy, finding yourself is not easy. Without a mother to help you it becomes even harder. Windsong excelled at the white man's schools and at the teaching of the Navajo tribe. She could always best the male children at tracking, riding, and hunting. This did not sit well with her father. She tried in all ways to please him, but he considered her nothing more then a girl. And girls did not hunt or ride. Windsong had a gift for healing as well, and after graduation from high school she wanted to leave the reservation for the first time in her life to attend college. She and her father fought terribly over this. No child of his was going to learn the white man's ways of healing! To appease her father, Windsong agreed to go on a vision quest in the desert. Her father had stated that, if the gods so willed her leaving, then he would give his blessing for her to go to college and then on to medical school. Windsong entered the desert with a heavy heart. She wanted to please her father, but she wanted to live her own life as well. She wanted to go to school to become a doctor and then come back to the reservation to help the people she so loved. Windsong fasted for 3 days before smoking the peyote, and lighting the ceremonial fire. What she saw surprised her! She did not see herself as a doctor. She saw herself running as fast as the wind! She saw her movements as nothing more than a blur.

This is the last thing she remembered before waking up. She can not remember the spaceship that took her from the desert. She can not remember the experiments that were done on her. The next thing she knew, she had woken up in the desert right where she had passed out. She found that her vision was true. She could move like the wind. She knew with every fiber of her being that the gods had truly blessed her. She ran as fast as she could back home to tell her father everything. She knew he would be proud of the fact that the gods had chosen to bless her with this wondrous gift. When she returned, she found that her father had given up all hope of ever seeing her again. She had been gone for 30 years. Eagle Feather did not believe this woman at first. He thought it was some kind of trick, being played by the gods, to punish him for not showing his love and understanding to his only child. Windsong could not believe that she had been missing for 30 years and had not aged a day. She changed her name to Windwalker so she could re-enter tribal life with out having to explain where she had been for the last 30 years. Together with her father, they concocted the story that Windsong has run off instead of going on her vision quest and had fallen in love and married. They told people that Windwalker had lost her parents in a car accident a few years ago and had just found out about her grandfather and come to live with him. This story also explained her resemblance to Windsong. Only she and her father know the truth.

Windwalker was designed by Jeff Mills. She was created and played by Colleen Gardner.
