Wendy O. Koopa is Bowser's fifth child and only daughter, whom he often uses as a pawn in his schemes. Wendy is actually quite the fighter and can use her growable rings as weapons.
Background
In Super Mario Bros. 3 she is given her own airship to attack the Sea Side kingdom with. She steals the king's magic wand and uses its power for evil until the Mario Brothers raid her ship and defeat her.
Next Wendy appeared during Bowser's schemes to conquer Dino Land in Super Mario World. Wendy was entrusted with own of Yoshi's friends to imprison and got her own fortress on the Chocolate Island, where she battled Mario in a room of pipes above lava with a bouncing fireball. Wendy and two decoys hid in the pipes and would pop out occasionally to attack. But her trick was seen through, and the real Wendy got stomped. When Bowser stole the twelve magic crystals of Jewelry Land during Yoshi's Safari, Wendy was put in charge of the Light Blue Crystal in Pipe Land. She attacked from pipes as earlier, and this time it was also possible to drop anvils on her.
After a long absence, the Koopalings returned when Bowletta called them into action to eliminate the Mario Brothers in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. She was the sixth Koopaling to battle the Mario Brothers. First Mario and Luigi had to smack her one after another with perfect timing as she emerged from several Warp Pipes. Then Wendy left her hiding spot and attacked her enemies physically, with a Bob-Omb set to go off in a set amount of turns. Luckily Wendy was beaten in time.
