Winter Steele was a puppet television series created by Cintra Wilson that aired on MTV as a segment of Liquid Television during its first two seasons, 1991-1993.
Wilson wrote the series, created the puppets, did the voice of the main character and even did some live action body double work. Winter Steele is depicted as a female biker who is in hot pursuit of her childhood friend, lover and sometime nemesis David "Crow" Dickerson, himself a biker.
The two met as children in a repressive orphanage and bonded. Separated, the two vowed to find each other, with Winter criss-crossing the land on a motorcycle. In this course, Winter breaks many laws - robbing a crossdresser at gunpoint, credit card fraud, etc. As it transpires, Crow is also desperately looking for Winter, he has gotten a career as a stunt performer a la Evel Knievel and a cape he uses in his act bears the inscription "Winter, where are you?" At one point, Winter even meets up with Crow's mother, who abandoned her son to an orphanage. Asked if she regretted sending Crow there, she tersely replies "Hell no!".

Winter Steele appeared on Liquid T.V. Claymation - emotionally dysfunctional biker girl searches across America to find her one true love “Blue” (dysfunctional biker guy with drug/alcohol problem). Halarious.

In the context of Liquid Television, Winter Steele was one of the segments featured. For example, in Season 2, Episode 7, the summary includes "Winter Steele \"Soft Heart, Hard Alcohol\"".
Similarly, in Season 2, Episode 10, the summary includes "Winter Steele \"All Men Suck (Except Crow)\"".
Other episodes also featured Winter Steele, such as Season 2, Episode 12, which includes "Winter Steele \"Rhinestones 'n' Concussions\""
, and Season 2, Episode 14, which includes "Winter Steele \"F.T.W.\"".

The series is noted for its unique blend of animation, live-action, and puppets, and it has been described as a testament to the fact that people can and do understand new ideas and appreciate them.
The show's influence can be seen in later works, and it has been praised for its artistic expression and originality.
