Wendy Testaburger

Gwendolyn "Wendy" Testaburger is a character in the animated series South Park. She has had four voices during the series' run: Mary Kay Bergman, Mona Marshall, Eliza Schneider, and April Stewart.

Appearance
She has an unconventional fashion sense. She wears a pink beret, a light purple jacket with a dark blue collar, and a yellow skirt underneath. Under her jacket she was shown to wear a light purple tank-top in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society". Sometimes she wears trousers instead of a skirt (It usually depends on the episode.) She also wears dark blue mittens or gloves. Underneath her beret is a head of black hair with bangs. Wendy's character is based on Liane Adamo, a former love interest of South Park creator Trey Parker. Her name is said to be based on "Wendy Westaburger", the wife of a friend of Matt Stone's. The way her name was arranged also seems to be based on Wendy's fast-food restaurants.

When dressed for bed, Wendy wears a pink tee-shirt with yellow flowers decorating it, and pink pajama-pants (In "Chef Goes Nanners", she wore mauve pajamas with a daisy pattern). When dressed for an occasion, she wears a knee-length pink dress with a purple strap at the top, white shoes, and white gloves.

As a "spoiled whore", she wore a sky-blue tank top with one strap, a wide black belt with a round gold buckle, and a pair of flare jeans. In a blooper shot towards the end of the episode, she was shown wearing a violet bikini top, black leather gloves, a pink thong, and fishnets.

To try and get Stan's attention in "Tom's Rhinoplasty", she had her hair feathered out and wore a violet beret and a black leather vest and skirt.

Though she usually wears her pink beret, she's been shown to have the aforementioned violet one, and a red one as well ("Something You Can Do With Your Finger").

Personality
Wendy is typically protrayed as a sweet and caring, feministic liberal girl. However, she has had moments in which she is rather nasty or unfair; the most famous of which being her encounter with Ms. Ellen in "Tom's Rhinoplasty" (See below). Even earlier than that, in "Pink Eye" she had promised Stan that she would dress as Raggedy Ann so that he could dress as Raggedy Andy and they could be a pair for Halloween. Later, she "just realized how stupid we would look" in her own words, and dressed as Chewbacca instead. She was awarded for best costume in the school costume contest (despite looking just like everyone else), and she gave all the candy she won away to starving children in third-world countries (an act which, though charitable, was also selfish to Stan and the other boys).

In "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", she called Bebe a slut, and gossiped about her with Rebecca, Millie, and Esther (see below). It is also shown in this episode that she is a bit of a prima donna, since she enjoys having the boys pay lots of attention to her and call her attractive.

In "Follow That Egg!" it is shown that she has a strong motherly instinct, as, after hearing from Bebe about the way Stan had treated their egg, she was deeply worried that Stan would damage the egg which had belonged to Kyle and herself before Mrs. Garrison switched their partners. She even went over to Stan's house, frantically asking to see the egg and hold it for a couple of minutes. Only Kyle could calm her down. After seeing how well Stan and Kyle took care of the egg, and presented it to the governor at the end of the episode, she saw how good Stan's fathering skills were, and relaxed.

Stan Marsh
Main Article: Stan Marsh.

For the first seven seasons of the series, Wendy was most well-known as Stan Marsh's girlfriend. He was revealed in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" to have been attracted to her for some time already, and she had apparently felt the same way for him. The main thing that used to get in their way was the fact that Stan constantly threw up on her, especially whenever they tried to kiss. Wendy still stayed with him, though, and got extremely jealous and angry at anyone and anything which got in their way (she paid a bunch of Iraqui agents to kill the substitute teacher, Ms. Ellen, in the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty" because Stan had fallen for her, and she even insulted Bebe in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society" after Stan became drawn to Bebe's developing breasts). Later on in the series, their relationship didn't seem as strong, and at times seemed strained. On Stan's part, though, it may be because he was too busy to pay attention to her. She officially broke up with him in the episode, "Raisins"; the only reason given was that she wanted to date Token.

Even after she had broken up with him, he still showed feelings for her, and in "Follow That Egg!", he tried desperately to impress her, and grew jealous of Kyle because he was working with Wendy on the egg science project. Wendy also showed feelings for Stan at the end of the episode - it was not only clear that she missed Stan, but that she felt guilty for dumping him, and was taking it as hard as he did. However, rather than take her back when she appealed to him, he acted proudly and said "As if I give a crap about what you think, Wendy", before leaving.

When asked in an interview if Wendy and Stan would ever get back together again, Matt Stone said that their love was written in the stars, but the world conspires to keep them apart. He expressed faith in the possibility of their future reunion, though.

A Reunion?
In the episode "The List", Wendy helps Stan to discover that the election of who the cutest and the ugliest boys were was rigged. At the end of the episode, she admits that she enjoyed hanging out with him again, and they attempt to kiss (but Stan throws up on her again) after he throws up on her, she smiles. This indicates that they have finally gotten back together again.

Gregory of Yardale
Main Article: Gregory.

Even while she was still dating Stan, Wendy would grow temporarily attracted to other boys. In the movie: South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, she had what seemed to be a crush on a newcomer named Gregory. She apparently liked him because he was very political, and shared many of her liberal opinions. However, when he started acting snobbishly and mildly competitive towards Stan, she saw how arrogant and proud he could be, and went back for Stan at the end of the film. She told Stan she had never really liked Gregory, and even said, "Fuck Gregory! Fuck him right in the ear!". Gregory hasn't been seen since.

Eric Cartman
Main Article: Eric Theodore Cartman.

Wendy is one of the stronger examples of an Eric Cartman hater, but in the season 4 episode, "Chef Goes Nanners", she got a temproary crush on him while they were working together on the flag debate. She even dreamt of herself and Cartman falling in love together in a meadow. Frightened by these feelings, she consulted Bebe for help on the matter, and Bebe told her that it was probably just sexual tension caused by working for so long beside him. Upon her advice, Wendy passionately kissed Cartman at the presentation the next day. After that, she lost all her feelings for him, except the old hatred.

Token Black
Main Article: Token Black.

After Wendy broke up with Stan, she began dating Token Black. However, this relationship didn't seem to have lasted for very long, as Token was seen with other girls at Bebe's Stupid Spoiled Whore party in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", and Wendy was eager for Stan to take her back in "Follow That Egg!"

Family
From what has been seen of the Testaburger family, Wendy has a mother and a father. She seems to be a Daddy's little girl, as she uses her charm and smarts to get her Dad to help her in "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset". He also cares very much for her, but gets caught up in the idea of little girls dressing like little whores. He then suggests that Wendy give it a try. His heart's in the right place, though. Her mother seems to be very concious about her daughter's age, as she thought she was too young for breast implants in "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society". Mrs. Testaburger is revealed to be the City Planner in "Night of the Living Homeless".

The Testaburgers are probably of German or Slavic descent.

Mother
The mother has neck-length black hair, and wears a blue jacket, a greyish shirt, and a brown skirt.

Father
The father has dark red hair, beard and moustache. He wears a green sweater with a white shirt underneath, and dark blue jeans.

Bebe Stevens
Main Article: Bebe Stevens.

Wendy's best friend is a blonde-haired girl named Bebe Stevens. Bebe helped Wendy to dispose of Miss Ellen, the substitute teacher, because Wendy thought that she was trying to take Stan away from her. (It aspires that Miss Ellen was actually a lesbian, though Wendy and the others didn't know what a lesbian was.) In return, Wendy helped Bebe to win Kyle over in "Clubhouses" (though it didn't work out.)

Though they seem to be very close friends, in the season 6 episode "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society", Wendy grew jealous of Bebe because she had won the hearts of all the boys (including Stan). Wendy was not the only one, though, as she was insulting Bebe behind her back with several other girls (but Bebe actually overheard a lot of it.) Finally, despite her mother's concerns, she got breast implants because of her jealousy towards Bebe's developing breasts. In another episode, "Stupid Spoiled Whore Video Playset", it was Bebe who abandoned Wendy, because she wasn't enough of a Stupid Spoiled Whore. Despite all this, they still hang out with each other.

The Other Girls
The same way as Stan tends to act as the leader of the male student population, Wendy acts as the leader of the female population. The other girls look up to her as their voice of reason, though on some occasions, they ignore her logical and liberal statements and suggestions.

Music
She became the 5th member of Cartman's boy band Fingerbang - after wowing the boys with a song, similar to the popular euphemistic Miss Susie rhyme. The lyrics to the song are as follows:


 * "Mrs. Landers was a health nut! She cooked food in a wok!
 * Mr. Harris was her boyfriend and he had a great big
 * Cock-a-doodle-doodle! The rooster just won't quit!
 * And I don't want my breakfast, because it tastes like
 * Shih Tzus make good house pets! They're cuddly and sweet!
 * Monkeys aren't good to have 'cause they like to beat their
 * Meeting in the office, or meeting in the hall!
 * The boss, he wants to see you so you can suck his
 * Balzac was a writer! He lived with Allen Funt!
 * Mrs. Roberts didn't like him, but that's 'cause she's a
 * Contaminated water can really make you sick!
 * Your bladder gets infected and blood comes out your
 * Dictate what I'm saying, 'cause it will bring you luck
 * And if you all don't like it, I don't give a flying fuck!"

Languages
In "Tom's Rhinoplasty", it is revealed that Wendy is fluent in Arabic, as she speaks in this language to the agents she hired to shoot Ms. Ellen into the sun.

Politics
She is portrayed as a very political girl, and has joined many campaigns, groups, and debates over the course of the show.
