Wendy Testaburger is a fictional character in the American animated series South Park. The series' most prominent female character, she is best-known for her on-again, off-again relationship with her boyfriend, Stan Marsh, and being more intelligent and mature than most children her age, which is utilized by her activism and feminism. Wendy debuted as a nameless background character in Trey Parker and Matt Stone's 1995 college short film, The Spirit of Christmas, and made her first appearance on television when South Park initially premeried on Comedy Central on August 13, 1997 with the episode "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe". She is currently voiced by April Stewart. Prior, she had been voiced by several different voice actors throughout the show's run: Mary Kay Bergman, Eliza Schneider, and Mona Marshall.
The character has met generally positive reception for her portrayal of maturity and political correctness in constrast to most child characters in fiction.
In South Park's first 19 seasons, Wendy attends South Park Elementary as a third- then fourth grade student of Mr. Garrison's class, a position of his which is then replaced by Ms. Nelson after Garrison becomes the 45th President of the United States starting with season 19 onwards. She resides in South Park, Colarado as the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Testaburger. In the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty", it is revealed by Principal Victoria that her grandmother deceased during the events of the episode, in reference to the scene in the 1986 John Hughes teen comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where the nurse informs Solange of the same news. During the show's first 58 episodes--"Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" to the season 4 episode "Fourth Grade"--Wendy is a third grade student of Mr. Garrison's class. Starting with the aforementioned "Fourth Grade" onwards, Wendy's grade, along with all the other major child characters', transfers to the fourth and remains as such due to the floating timeline of the series.
