She is King Bowser's Girl.

Wendy O. Koopa is the only female Koopa Kid. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Wendy is the final boss of Water Land and in Super Mario World, she is the boss of Chocolate Island.

In the cartoons, she was named Kootie Pie Koopa, and was apparently sixteen years old, and often whined about everything. There is little physical difference between Wendy and Kootie Pie. The only difference that really stands out is that Kootie Pie's bow is more pointy and has two fangs sticking out of her mouth. Her voice was that of Paulina Gillis.

Other than Lemmy, Wendy is the only Koopaling to appear in her own story in the comic books; in "Fins and Roses" she is setting up a trap for Mario when she attracts the attention of Stanley the Talking Fish.

Wendy is one of the first Nintendo characters to distinguish herself as female by wearing a bow on her hairless head, and the first to do so in a game; other female characters who wear a bow include Birdo, who wears a similar bow on her head, Lady Bow from Paper Mario, who wears a smaller bow on each side of her head, and Candy Kong, who wears a bow in Donkey Kong Country, but not in any other games. Although Birdo appeared first, she only wore her bow in promotional materials, and didn't appear with a bow in a video game until Super Mario Bros. 2 was remade for the SNES compilation Super Mario All-Stars.


She is named after late female punk singer, Wendy O. Williams.
