When Dan and Wynton couldn’t turn their ridiculous stunt into a successful video, it was Lia Venegas who happened by and, with a few unsolicited suggestions, turned their whole scene around.
She expresses herself visually, which translates to her style that incorporates “upcycled” clothes of her own design. Lia Venegas is fashion-forward in her dress, with a flair for the artistic, though she is not in any way worried about how she looks. Wynton is an analytical thinker who uses his perspective to uncover the hidden secrets of people, places and things, though he rarely looks inside of himself. and the occasional trip to the Principal’s office. He has been cooking up chaos with Dan since forever. Overcompensating for his excessive intelligence, Wynton is a prankster whose jokes often get him in hot water.
So even though Wynton is definitely the brains of the crew, don’t call him smart without adding the word “mouth” after it. The only kids who know the real Wynton are Dan and Lia Venegas, because they see him as a complete person. And like a lot of smart kids he keeps his talents to himself because he doesn’t like the expectations that the world puts on him. Wynton fixed it with a paperclip and some gum. They met when Dan tried to backflip off of the lunch table and his hand-held game system went flying into a wall. Wynton and Dan have been friends since the first grade. A multi-purpose “hack-pack” slung over his shoulder completes the look. Wynton has a laid-back slacker-hacker style that accommodates the endless bits of gear and tech he seems to produce from thin air.
