Turtle Wexler
Turtle Wexler is a brown haired, 13 year old girl. Her long hair is always done in a tight braid, which she is very protective of. If anyone touches her braid she'll kick them in the shin. Turtle often wears hand-me-downs from her sister. Her real name is Tabitha Ruth Wexler but people call her Turtle because when she was a baby, her head stuck out of her blanket like a turtle. Turtle listed her position in the Westing Game as: "witch". Her partner is Flora Baumbach and they received the clues: SEA MOUNTAIN AM O. They deduce that they are supposed to invest in the stock market using the clues. Turtle's mother sees Turtle as the not as good daughter so Turtle gets neglected by her mother.

Her partner in the Westing Games is Sydelle Pulaski. She lists her position in the games as: "none".
