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 has exclusive access to the Ectoherbology Tab to craft Ghostly Elixirs. There are 6 Ghostly Elixirs:

Icon	Name	Effect	Duration	Badge Indicator	Recipe
	Revenant Restorative	Restores bonus 2 per second (960 health restored in total over duration)	8 minutes (1 day)		x1 x1
	Spectral Cure-All	Restores bonus 20 per seconds (600 health restored in total over duration)	30 seconds		x3 x1
	Unyielding Draught	Doubles the duration of Abigail's protective shield from 0.5 to 1 second (the shield absorbs all damage after the initial attack)	8 minutes (1 day)		x1 x1
	Distilled Vengeance	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.	8 minutes (1 day)		x3 x1
	Nightshade Nostrum	Makes Abigail's attacks have nighttime damage (40) regardless of the time of the day	8 minutes (1 day)		x3 x1
	Vigor Mortis	Increases Abigail's movement speed by 75% (total of 8.75 in Player Speed)	8 minutes (1 day)		x1 x1

Wendy can also exclusively craft the Sisturn through the Structures Tab. 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 deal an additional 40% damage to vexed enemies. Combined, Wendy deals 1.155× the normal damage compared to 0.75× under regular circumstances.

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.

Tips

Main article: Guides/Character guides-Wendy

• Early on the easiest way to summon Abigail is to kill a Butterfly, which will die in 1 hit even when Wendy is unarmed. Alternatively the Flower can be dropped near a Spider Den that also has a Pig House nearby. Getting the Pig and Spiders to fight each other will ensure Abigail is summoned from the casualties.
• 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.
  • In SW she can also be used to easily kill Crabbits and Jellyfishes.
• Abigail is at her strongest during Winter and Hurricane Season (in SW) since days are shorter and she deals bonus damage as the sky darkens. Leave any unfinished fights against neutral foes (Treeguards, Spider Queens, etc.) for this season.
  • 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.
• While Abigail is great against groups of weaker foes, fighting stronger Mobs 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.
  • In SW, Abigail comes as great help during combat as she is immune to Poison and can attack Aquatic Mobs at a distance, making the low health of Boats less of a problem.
• 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.
• Due to the way the bonus damage is calculated on the Obsidian Spear, Axe and Machete in SW, they won't do as low damage as they would normally making them still very good when used with Wendy.
• In the Reign of Giants (RoG) DLC, with a Garland and a Pretty Parasol equipped, Wendy suffers almost no sanity drain at night, meaning gathering 18 Petals 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.
• Taming an Ornery Beefalo can be very advantageous for Wendy, taking away her damage reduction and giving her a reliable method of combat when Abigail is unavailable.
• In DST, Wendy's favorite food is Banana Pop, meaning she gains 15 bonus when consuming the item.
• Wendy can order Abigail to attack and kill monsters and innocent creatures that increase Naughtiness, such as Glommer to get Old Bells. This method can be used to prevent Krampus from spawning, if the player does not desire to trigger the spawning of one or more.
  • In Shipwrecked, this can be useful to prevent the spawning of Floaty Boaty Knights.

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.
