Personality;
Wichita, believe it or not, is not your typical stuck-up bitch. At least Columbus sees through her sarcasm and scowls well enough, and there are even times when she seems kinda normal and fun, despite the whole zombie apocalypse deal she's found herself in. But more often than not, when she's around anyone she isn't close with, she tries to seem pretty closed-off, unimpressed, and jaded. And she actually can be, when she has to be. She's learned how to keep herself detached from a lot of her feelings, since most of the time they can only be used against her. And as a con artist, she has to have complete control over her emotions/body language. Like an actor playing a role, in a way. Any slips in that control throw her off completely, and she'll likely run (literally, figuratively) from a situation if she feels like she's losing it.

After nearly kissing Columbus, she immediately brings up the one rule she has with her sister;

"I can't believe I almost kissed him. What's our rule?"
"Trust no one, just you and me."
"Just you and me, yeah. You and me."

The zombie virus hasn't turned her into a cold hard killer or anything, but there's little in the world that can really get under her skin or make her question any decisions she's made. She doesn't let things about herself or her plans slip, and if it seems like she did, it was most likely intentional. The world she lives in has forced her to become a manipulator, a con-artist, and she's not ashamed of it either. If not just because most of the time, once she cons someone, she'll never see them again.

There's no room for second guessing when your life is on the line. She believes there's also little room for making friends, let alone actually trusting anybody they cross paths with. Her trust issues are deep rooted now, and it takes a long time for her to get over that. And in a way, even those she might meet and talk to frequently, she wouldn't ever admit to trusting them completely.

"Better you make the mistake of trusting us, than us make the mistake of trusting you."

Survival is her main focus in Zombieland (which is what she and many others have come to call Earth), and her sister's survival comes before all else. Most if not all of her decisions are made with her sister in mind. Krysta would risk everything to keep her sister safe, and happy, and she's done it before. She tries not to be too over-bearing on Little Rock, but to an outsider she really might come off that way. The sisters have become best friends through all of this, so (at least, in Wichita's eyes) the control is pretty evenly distributed between the two of them. Little Rock comes up with plans on the fly, and Wichita usually maps out the bigger cons. They work as a team, no matter what.

Throughout the film we are constantly reminded that her sister always takes first priority, but she slowly drops her hard exterior around the boys the more time she spends with them. Granted, I don't think she'll ever be convinced that Tallahassee and Columbus aren't severely lacking in the brains department, but she's no longer convinced that they might screw her over eventually.

Although she hasn't gotten to the point where she'd rule out screwing them over again.

I think it's very telling that she asks Columbus to drink with her, considering she seems to be pretty gabby when she's buzzed on wine. Not only does that moment bring the two closer, but it also reveals a little bit of what I think she was like before the virus.

Zombie apocalypse aside, Krysta can be pretty likable. Really! It takes some time (or some booze) for people to get to see the "old" her, but before the virus hit her hometown, she was social, popular, and all the other things you can expect from a pretty girl. She's used to getting her way, but she's not a complete brat when she doesn't. Krysta's very grounded, but she definitely likes to have some fun when she gets the chance. Which is rare, in Z-land, but if the opportunity is there, she's on it. She's got a cutting, sarcastic sense of humor, and a cheesy side, even if she has to be a little drunk to let it show. While she doesn't put much thought into relationships or 'hooking up', she does have a bad habit of flirting without having any meaning behind it, or caring much about the aftereffects. She likes being the 'cool chick', and she'll rapid fire pop-culture references at you to prove it.

Other:
She's a huge comedy flick fan, with a particular liking for Bill Murray movies, and has a habit of laughing at all the wrong moments. Her first temporary tattoo was of a porpoise, first kiss was with a hottie named Scotty Lynch, and 1997 overall was a pretty damn good year for her. Wichita is an awesome shot with a firearm, and she's pretty fearless when it comes to defending herself. She doesn't consider herself 'risky', but if she needs to leap without looking, she'll do it. Nine times out of ten though, her moves are all pretty calculated.
