Wendy's main special power is her ability to summon her dead twin sister, Abigail. Wendy starts with Abigail's Flower in her inventory. She will be able to summon Abigail immediately and gain 15 . Wendy can ask Abigail to stay close to her or roam more free via Abigail's flower. In the Sooth state Abigail follows Wendy and will attack Mobs that either attack Wendy or that Wendy herself attacks. In the Rile up state Abigail attacks every Mob near Wendy, enemy or neutral. Wendy can decide to retire Abigail by attacking her (using force attack) or clicking on her while dragging an Abigail's Flower, losing 15 in the process.

Abigail starts with a health pool of 150 . Her health changes to 300 health after 1 day and goes to 600 health after 1 additional day. The process is 4 times faster if there is a fully decorated Sisturn in the World. Abigail goes back to her initial health when she is destroyed by an enemy or when Wendy is revived after death. Abigail has a protective shield. When attacked, a protective shield surrounds her and absorbs all other damage within a small window of time after the first attack.

Wendy can assist Pipspooks to recover their lost toys and gain Mourning Glories as a reward. Wendy does not lose sanity due to Ghosts, Pipspooks and Ghost Characters. Ghosts are neutral towards Wendy, but will attack if provoked.

Wendy can craft 9 Ghostly Elixirs:

Icon	Name	Recipe	To Abigail		To Player Character
			Effect	Duration	Effect	Duration
	Revenant Restorative	x1 x1	+2/s	1 day/8 minutes	+1/s	20 seconds
	Spectral Cure-All	x3 x1	+20/s	30 seconds	+5/s	20 seconds
	Unyielding Draught	x1 x1	Doubles the duration of Abigail's protective shield from 0.5 to 1 second (the shield absorbs all damage after the initial attack)	1 day/8 minutes	Gain a 50 shield that absorbs incoming damage. After being hit, it applies a 10-second cooldown. This effect stacks with armor protection.	2 minutes
	Distilled Vengeance	x3 x1	Doubles the duration of Abigail's protective shield from 0.5 to 1 seconds In addition to absorbing damage, all Mobs attacking a shield take 20 damage.	1 day/8 minutes	Gain a 50 shield that absorbs incoming damage. After being hit, it applies a 10-second cooldown. This effect stacks with armor protection and deals 20 damage to surrounding mobs when hit.	2 minutes
	Nightshade Nostrum	x3 x1	Makes Abigail's attacks deal nighttime damage (40) regardless of the time of the day	1 day/8 minutes	Night vision.	6 minutes
	Vigor Mortis	x1 x1	Increases Abigail's movement speed by 75%	1 day/8 minutes	Offset up to 25% of slowdown from carrying heavy objects. Won't get slowed down by Sticky Webbing and Honey Trail.	1 day/8 minutes
	Ghastly Experience	x1 x3 (need )	Upgrade Abigail to Level 3 immediately.	2 minutes	+5 and +12.5 immediately. Remove 25% of Max Health Penalty immediately.	0.3 seconds
	Cursed Vexation	x1 x3 (need )	Super Elixir, can be used with regular Elixir at the same time. When Abigail inflicted the vex, Wendy's attacks deal +10 Planar Damage to foes.	1 day/8 minutes	Can't Drink
	Luminous Wrath	x1 x3 (need )	Super Elixir, can be used with regular Elixir at the same time. Abigail's attack deal extra 10 Planar Damage. 100 Planar Damage when she is Gestalt	2 minutes

Wendy can also exclusively craft the Sisturn through the Structures Filter. The Sisturn can be decorated with petals to generate a sanity aura of +25 /min.

Abigail's attacks beset her opponents with ghostly petals for a short period of time, increasing the damage they receive by 10% for 2 seconds. Wendy players will also deal an additional 40% damage. Combined with Wendy's 0.75x multiplier this results in a net 15.5% extra damage. Beefalo ridden by Wendy benefit from both vex damage multipliers but will not suffer from Wendy's 0.75x mult, resulting in a 54% boost to their damage.

Wendy suffers 25% less Sanity drain from Darkness and from being near insanity auras. The effect only extends to those two cases though, meaning that other things that drain Sanity (e.g. Rain, Dark Sword, Monster Meat etc.) will drain at the normal rate.

Disadvantage

Wendy's attacks are 25% weaker than most other Characters' in order to balance out the ability to summon Abigail and the lowered sanity drain.

Wendy loses 30 when Abigail is destroyed by an enemy and her power level is reset. Summoning Abigail will lock Wendy in place for 3 seconds.

Tips

Main article: Guides/Character guides-Wendy

• Abigail won't keep fighting Mobs forever and sometimes needs to be ordered to do so mid-fight. Keep an eye on the battle so to keep her focused on the task.
• Since she can outrun Rabbits, Abigail is a source of easy Morsels.
• Abigail is extremely effective against Spiders, making it a good idea to farm them for Monster Meat, Spider Glands, and Silk. When combined with a Birdcage, which allows converting Monster Meat into Eggs, spiders can serve as a reliable primary food source. Be careful, however, since Spider Dens can overgrow into a Spider Queen, which is much harder to defeat.
• Abigail is also very effective against Splumonkeys, making them another excellent source of food in the Caves, as they drop Morsels and Bananas.
• Although it is always dark in Caves, there's a day-night system in place, meaning Abigail will not always do 40 damage per hit. In the Ruins though it's always considered Night.
• Abigail can tank and damage Pengulls rather easily, and can take the full camp with Wendy's help at Dusk without too much risk. This means Wendy has a fairly reliable source of Food in the Winter.
• Wendy can order Abigail to attack and kill monsters and innocent creatures that increase Naughtiness without causing Krampus to spawn.
• While Abigail is great against groups of weaker foes, fighting stronger Mobs or Giants will result in her death unless she's helped by Wendy. Great support weapons are the Ice Staff and Fire Staff. The Ice Staff can be used to stun enemies before they land a hit on Abigail, preventing her from taking damage. The Fire Staff can stun Mobs for longer while also damaging them but comes at the cost of possibly burning the dropped loot upon the enemy's death.
• Despite the Sanity icon not displaying an arrow, the Top Hat will not completely keep Sanity from draining in the dark.
• Weapons that deal indirect damage (Fire Dart, Gunpowder, etc.) are not affected by Wendy's damage multiplier making them excellent choices for her.
  • A good Melee Weapon for Wendy is the Ham Bat, since it has unlimited uses while fresh, effectively erasing one of the drawbacks of the reduced damage.
  • Alternatively, taming an Ornery Beefalo can be very advantageous for Wendy as it not only provides speed, it also negates her 25% damage reduction and giving her a reliable method of combat when Abigail is unavailable. Whilst attacking with Abigail on a beefalo, Wendy has an effective damage multiplier of x1.54.
• With a Garland and a Pretty Parasol (or the Wraith's Wreath from the Mourning Glory II skill) equipped, Wendy suffers almost no sanity drain at night, meaning gathering 18 Petals (or 6 Mourning Glories for the Wreath) can keep her sanity up during both night and day during the early days when other sanity-restoring alternatives are unavailable.
• Care should be taken when fighting alongside Abigail, as a single hit from Wendy dismisses her. This is particularly important on the console versions of the game, as the automatic targeting can accidentally attack her instead of an enemy.
• Mourning Glory I and Shadow Sisterhood III skills synergize well with eachother for maintaining Shadow Abigail damage.

Bugs

• While wearing some of the hats, Wendy's flower and the top of her hair will disappear when the player moves towards the top of the screen, and will appear again when she stops moving.
• Attacking Abigail (by holding the Ctrl key) at the same time as selecting the Escape command (from Team Spirit 1 skill) will make Abigail turn "invincible". This makes her unable to receive damage while still fighting alongside Wendy, able to receive elixirs effects, and able to apply vex effect to the enemy. However, she cannot receive buffs/actions from other Team Spirit skills or Lunar Sisterhood III skill. For the Shadow Sisterhood III, although Wendy cannot provide Dark Magic to Abigail when she's not summoned, the player can perform the Murder action on a huge quantity of creatures in their inventory beforehand until the effect wears off.
