Winona Ryder Heathers
In Heathers, Winona plays Veronica Sawyer. Veronica Sawyer’s signature is blue, symbolizing her deep, contemplative and thoughtful personality. She continuously maintains that the murders were morally wrong. Veronica was involved in all of them but this did not stop her from trying to ultimately stop J.D.
She used to be one of the freaks of Westerburg High School and she was previously best friends with Betty Finn before associating with The Heathers.
She is very upfront with people and because of her understanding beyond her years, she may at times come off as short or ruse to some. This was because students at Westerberg are too occupied with their social standing than their intellect.
When with JD, she is very carefree and happy that she has found someone similar to her.
When she figures out that JD intends to kill her, she fakes her own suicide by tying a rope around her waist to support her weight and again around her neck to look like she hanged herself. Her suicide is very convincing and a devastating JD tells her lifeless body of his entire plan to blow up Westerburg High the following day.
Winona Ryder Stranger Things
In Stranger Things, Winona plays Joyce Byers. Joyce is a financially poor single mother of Will and Jonathan Byers and she works as a retail clerk and relies on help from her eldest to make ends meet.
When her son Will disappeared, she was certain that he was communicating with her through the lights in her house. Even though everyone treated her as if she was having a mental breakdown, she refused to believe that Will was dead.
She later uncovered the terms of her son’s disappearance through the help of a friend, local police chief Jim Hopper, Will’s friends, and Jonathan and she entered the Upside Down to rescue him. Towards the end, Joyce, Nancy, and Jonathan helped in removing Will from the possession of the Mind Flayer.
Joyce is portrayed as a highly generous, amicable and tender-hearted mother who would do just anything to keep her sons out of harm’s way.
Winona Ryder Beetlejuice
In Beetlejuice, Winona plays Lydia Deetz, the daughter of Charles Deetz and the step-daughter of Delia Deetz. Lydiah is mostly referred to as a ‘goth’ girl and Beetlejuice plans on marrying her so he can return to the world of the living.
Lydia is shown to be a very serious and kind girl who is sensitive beyond her Goth dress and feels isolated in the world. Lydia’s father and step-mother do not take anything she says seriously and they often ignore her for their own selfish pursuits.
She loves taking photographs, writing poetry and she loves anything pertaining to the supernatural and paranormal. Even though she is young, Lydia seems to be the most sensible member of the Deetz household.
She ends up happy because Adam and Barbara Maitland become active parental figures alongside Charles and Delia Deetz; who take a stronger role in her upbringing after having seen her nearly forced into marriage with Beetlejuice.
