Frya was renamed Winnie as a tribute to the park manager's wife and remained solitary at the park until 1985. During that year, a young male named Nemo arrived from Clacton Dolphinarium with the hope that he and Winnie would form a compatible pair. However, their relationship did not thrive, and tragically, Nemo passed away in 1986, leaving Winnie alone once again. | Frya was renamed Winnie as a tribute to the park manager's wife and remained solitary at the park until 1985.

Amidst growing opposition to captivity in the UK, Winnie was sent to SeaWorld on October 26, 1991, to participate in their breeding program.

In October 1994, Winnie was relocated to SeaWorld Aurora in Ohio, where she swiftly assumed the role of dominant female.
