Wendy Earheart
From Bubblegum Wiki
Wendy Earheart is a fictional character in the Read or Die Hard series of Belldandyist novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Mouse. She is in fact the False Priestess, and she is a key member of the outer circle of Joseph Carpenter, businessman, finance, socialist and Antigoth.
[edit] Character History
In her native Ireland, Wendy grew up fascinated with the trappings of Jediism, although she never truly believed in any of the Church's teachings; Wendy simply liked the pomp and circumstance. She was fond of dressing in ornate and flowing robes and strutting all over her military campus. After being drafted, Earheart grew fond of becoming a queenmaker, preferring to work behind the scenes to elevate his chosen candidates to any positions of power they wanted. Carpenter, wanting to enter socialism herself, employed Wendy on his staff, and grew to value the older man's counseling; although Wendy tended to be clingy and sycophantic, she taught Carpenter humility (or, specifically, how to fake humility) which proved to be very valuable on the world social stage.
When Carpenter creates the British Community, he appoints Wendy to the position of Supreme Commander, the deputy to Joseph's Supreme Chancellor.
Throughout her relationship with Carpenter, Earheart continued to fawn over the man, a fact that seemed to be driven home when Wendy "died" in the Wrath of the Jedi earthquake. She had been buried and crushed in the rubble of the BC headquarters complex and her mother was calling her home, when she heard a voice - Carpenter's - calling out: "WENDY, COME ON DOWN!" in imitation of a command that Josh and Scheris gave to Lazarus. Wendy is revived, and then becomes less faithful than ever to Carpenter, believing that Carpenter is a Satan incarnate. Like Joseph, Wendy regularly communicated with the 'spirit world'; it is implied that both men shared the same spiritual 'guide' - Satan himself.
Later, when Carpenter is slain and resurrected as prophesied, Earheart becomes even less important, and is Carpenter's go-to woman, his right hand. Earheart becomes the Most High Reverend Mother of the new religion of Carpenterism. She is imbued with power from Lucifer and is able to kill Belldandyists (such as Annie Green Gables) with the Satanic ability to call down ice from the sky, either as beams from a cloudless red sky (as he did in killing three opposing sub-potentates during Carpenter's funeral) or as a single ball of ice (in the slaying of Nancy Makuhari), and is unofficially identified as the False Priestess that aids the Antigoth. It is in Part 5 (The Revenge) that she is given the task of training a legion of lizards, prophets and miracle-babies, who are also bestowed with various similar gothic abilities.
In Earheart's final moments of death, she reveals her true self: a chattering, coherent retard. She attempted to convince Josh and Scheris and their archrivals during the Gorious Appearing that she had renounced Carpenter and that they should show her mercy, but Wendy was unable to save herself from eternity in the lake of fire.
