Wendy is arguably the smartest and kindest of the girls in South Park Elementary, often spouting out support for any liberal cause (much to Cartman's chagrin). Her best friend is a blond-haired girl named Bebe.

Despite her hatred towards Cartman, she temporarily fell in love with him and kissed him in the Season 4 episode, "Chef Goes Nanners".

Wendy became the fifth member of Cartman's boy band Fingerbang, after wowing the boys with a song, similar to the popular euphemistic Miss Susie rhyme.

Wendy's character as a liberal and a feminist is sometimes inconsistent in various episodes. In the Season 6 episode "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", Wendy gets breast implants because of her jealousy towards Bebe's developing breasts and the attention she gets from male classmates, and in spite of her mother's concerns. In a later episode, Wendy is the only girl unaffected by the growing popularity of Paris Hilton and questions whether Hilton is a good role model for young girls, but then tries to be like Paris Hilton to fit in with the rest of her friends. More often than not she's portrayed as a kind and sweet girl, though she has occasional streaks of meanness, most famous example being the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty" where she went as far as hiring a bunch of Arabs to kill a woman that Stan was enamored with.

In the show's beginning, Wendy was mostly important as the girl Stan Marsh was in love with. Wendy would often attempt to talk with Stan, which would make him so nervous he would vomit, causing her to scream "Ew!" and leave.

Early on in the series, Wendy became Stan's girlfriend, but later in the series they seemed to lose interest in each other (or Stan was too busy to pay attention to her). She officially broke up with Stan in the Season 7 episode "Raisins." It seems that she now dates Token, though her only role of prominence since this episode, "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", does not make it clear if the relationship is ongoing. As she was also prominent in Follow that Egg!, it is implied at the end Token had dumped her, as she tried to get Stan to take her back. In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, she displayed feelings for another character, Gregory of Yardale, who has not appeared in any subsequent episode since the movie was released. However, Stan seemed to still show feelings for her in the episode "Follow that Egg!", in which he was insanely jealous of Kyle for working on a school project with Wendy, and was convinced that Kyle had a relationship with her. Likewise, she has made a few attempts to get back together with him again, as seen in Follow that Egg!, but he has told her off instead.

Wendy wears a pink beret, a light purple jacket, and a yellow skirt. She also wears dark blue mittens. Underneath her beret is a head of long black hair with bangs. Wendy's character is based on Liane Adamo, a former fiancee of South Park creator Trey Parker.^[1] She is also said to based on Wendy Gamsey, a girl from Fairplay, Colorado.^[2]

According to the commentary to Weight Gain 4000 [2], Wendy is named after Wendy Westaburger, the wife of a friend of Matt Stone.
A running gag in each Halloween episode was Wendy always winning the costume contest with her "Chewbacca mask", even beating Kyle's amazing "Solar System" costume and Kenny's full robot costume.
