Gwendolyn

"The weight of a knight's armor is a symbol of his loyalty"

- Wendy in a support conversation with Lilina

Wendy (ウェンディ Uendi) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Binding Blade. She is a knight of Ostia and is the younger sister of Bors. She first appears on turn 5 of Chapter 8 of Binding Blade, along with Ogier and Bath, in the northwest corner of the castle. The group assists the Lycia Alliance Army in retaking Castle Ostia. She then joins Roy's group for the rest of his journey. It is notable she can perform a Triangle Attack with Bors and Bath.

She makes a brief cameo appearance in chapter 18 of the Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi manga.

Overall
Wendy has low base stats for a unit joining in Chapter 8, and is a lance-locked, 4 move unit who joins right before the setting changes to the Western Isles, where Axe-using enemies dominate. As a result, she is extremely difficult to train. Many enemies will double her and she will not do much damage or have good accuracy. However, she has good promotion bonuses and a well-balanced growth spread, so after she promotes she is a decent unit, with slightly higher Strength, Skill, and Speed than Bors, but less HP, Constitution and Defense. She is unsurprisingly much more skilful, faster, and luckier than Bath but also has much less Strength and Defense.

Wendy has a good support affinity that helps her with her offense issues, but the other units she supports can also be difficult to train. She also has a triangle attack with Bors and Bath. This can help with her poor start, because Triangle Attacks always hit and the increased damage will help her get kills, but because Bors and Bath also have poor movement, it can be difficult to set up.

She is rather comparable to Trec, as their stats wind up similarly, though Wendy's resistance is a little higher, and Trec has higher movement and Swords.

Possible Endings
