Wendy Star Twenty Eight Class of '07 Anchorwoman for Havensdale Valley News Human

[interview-with-the-dave]

Dave was trying to mind his own business, a sentiment that contradicted his choice to sit at the bar of Cal's Club. The dark, ruby red, liquid in his whiskey glass sat untouched in front of him. He was trying to have fun. Any minute now, at least. He watched as the bartender set another drink down, looking over to the person beside him to ask, "You gonna drink that?"

Wendy turned her attention away from her fruity little cocktail and sent Dave her most charming smile. "You really want my French Martini?" Her head tilted inquisitively to one side, strategically exposing her neck to him. "Is that all you'd like to drink?"

Carmen couldn't help the self-satisfied grin on her face at Wendy Star's reaction. Fuckin' priceless. Carmen raised her brows at the finger her royal majesty was pointing in her face. Shame there as no one around to appreciate the growth Carmen demonstrated by not breaking it. "Gettin' a little hot and bothered there, are we?" She tilted her chin, looking back at Wendy with utter disdain. "Me and my little band of delinquent criminals are gonna bring this little fantasy you live in crashing down. You get that, right? And once they're done using you, you're gonna be old news, sweetheart. Worse than."

[w-endystar]

"This is not hot and bothered! I don't get hot and bothered, and I certainly wouldn't be hot and bothered because of a gnat like you!" How many times had she said 'hot and bothered'? This woman wasn't getting under her skin. She wasn't. Wendy took a steadying breath before trying to speak again. "I hate to break it to you, darling. But look around. I'm living in reality; it's you that's got your head in the clouds." Wendy was well aware that she couldn't take this woman in a fight, but that didn't stop her from getting up in her face. What was she really going to do? Everyone knew that touching Wendy Star was a death sentence. "When they turn me... I'm going to request that you're my first snack."

Frederick let out an unexpected laugh at her observations. "That I might not be able to argue with. As ever, you remain unwaveringly astute. All that aside, you really do have nothing to worry about." Although, he appreciated their sense of time was world's apart. Mortality could certainly make itself a burden. "Just between us two... Is there really any of these vampires you'd want in your life forever?"

[w-endystar]

Wendy huffed softy, not believing him, but also not bold enough to question one of the Big Three. It was easy for them to brush off her concerns about ageing when they had remained young for over a thousand years. Yes, she liked that they needed her to be a human advocating for their world, but how long would she need to do that before they turned her? "Oh, Frederick. Are you trying to get me to gossip about our allies? You are such a rake..." She shook her head in fake disapproval, "You're forgetting the most important thing, though... I'd have you forever, too."

[mcdamemystic]

What a treat she was, huh? Lennon tried to fight off a smile as she huffed and puffed. It was cute. "Totally. You look just like you do on TV," she added with a grin. "No, we run in different circles. I was never on the air but there were a few fans. Bless them. I'm Lennon-," she fished out a crumpled business card from her jacket pocket and held it up to Wendy Star. 'Seraphina Moonstone' was printed in swirling letters - Lennon's longest, oldest, con. Not so funny now. "Psychic."

[w-endystar]

Wendy couldn't fight her smile at the compliment; she loved compliments. When she continued, however, her head tilted in confusion. Was this woman a celebrity? Did this town not have enough celebrities? "So... radio?" Please, god, don't let her be another podcaster. Hesitantly, Wendy took the crumpled card and squinted to read it. "Seraphina Moonstone?" Perhaps a stripper? "Oh. Oh!" Her previous assumptions were quickly forgotten at the mention of her being a psychic. Wendy had heard Engel talking about psychics and how he was very interested in finding them. "So you give people readings then? Tell them their future?"

Sylvie almost frowned at the comment about her eyesight; her vision was just fine, thank you very much. "Oh darling, I take hair very seriously. I would never lie or joke about a grey hair."

[w-endystar]

"Hmm..." She repeated, still not entirely convinced. Being around all of these vampires was... difficult, to say the least. There wasn't a day that went by that Wendy wasn't comparing her ageing body to their stunning, frozen genes. She didn't understand why Edward wouldn't turn her while she was still young and beautiful. It wasn't fair. "What age were you when you became a vampire?" It probably wasn't something you were supposed to ask a vampire, unprompted, but Wendy wanted to know.

[kxllercarmen]

Carmen knew that Wendy Star was on the untouchable list. She knew that. Picking a real fight with this princess was a death sentence but damn... Might just be worth it. "Looks like you've got one for every piece of shit you've ever talked."

[w-endystar]

Wendy's jaw dropped at the sheer audacity, a small, sharp huff escaping her as she aggressively closed the compact mirror. "If that's the case, then my hair must be absolutely flawless!" She pointed a finger right in her face, "Because the only people talking shit here are you and your little band of delinquent criminals." Wendy was usually very composed in these situations, but there was just something so infuriating about this woman.

[mcdamemystic]

"Me?" Lennon said with a dramatic gasp at Wendy Star, local anchorwoman. A celebrity and here she was without an autograph book. "Pretty serious stuff-," she started, raising a brow at the hair in question- "I think you're all good, hon. Camera ready even."

[w-endystar]

"Who else?" She spoke sarcastically as she looked around them, pointing out that they were alone. "Hmm..." Wendy huffed softly, not believing her, but also not about to deny that she was camera ready. She was always camera ready. "All part of the job, really. Do I know you?" Was this woman a vampire? She really needed some sort of device that would point them out.

[the-biggestbaddest-wolf]

Frederick held back a laugh as Wendy Star broke out the compact mirror. There was something so human about it, the way she thought she was running out of time. Before her intended victim could answer, he stepped in-- "There isn't a thing wrong with a hair on your head."

[w-endystar]

"Oh." Wendy closed the mirror and shooed off the person she had almost started a conversation with. "Frederick." She smiled up at him as she tucked her mirror away, mildly embarrassed that he had caught her obsessing. "That's so kind of you to say, but I think your instinct to be charming might be making you a little blind." That would certainly explain his drastic change in appearance over these past few years.

[misssylviedupont]

"Let me look?" Sylvie leaned forward, her eyes widening as she took in the other woman's scalp. "Oh, darling, no! It's just the light. You're fine."

[w-endystar]

"Hmm..." Wendy furrowed her brow, but quickly relaxed at the thought of potential worry lines. "Are you sure your super vampire eyesight isn't just overlooking it because it's not a problem you ever have to deal with?"

[w-endystar]

"Oh my... Is that a grey hair?" Wendy lowered her compact mirror and turned to the nearest person. "You. I need you to tell me if it's grey or if it's just the light in here."

Pronouns: She/Her Birthday: 13th November 1988 (28) Species: Human Alliance: Neutral - Bad GuysTM Occupation: Anchorwoman for Havensdale News Location: Inside the dome

So What Happened?

Wendy Star has always done what it takes to survive. She would step on a thousand necks if it meant she could get to the top and then she'd step on a thousand more! Beware the woman with the dazzling smile and carefully curated TV personality. She wasn't going to let a silly thing like what happened at Founders Festival get in the way of her career.

After the initial shock, Wendy stood toe to toe with big bad wolf Frederick Bellefonte with a proposition. They wanted the town to behave, right? They wanted to preach or pretend it was a 'new Havensdale for all', right? Well, Wendy was their gal. She's beloved in this town, everyone's favourite anchorwoman and she was willing to play ball.

So yes, when you tune into Domesdale- Havensdale- news, you'll see Wendy with a big smile telling you everything is going to be okay! So long as you don't stay out past curfew. She takes part in covering up the messes of the Bad GuysTM, promotes them and attacks the #Resistance whenever she can. Regardless of the circumstances, she still wants to #thrive.

What she also wants is to be young and beautiful, forever. She's still in negotiations about her future but is confident she'll get what she wants. Is it terrifying? Do bad things happen every day? Yes but sometimes you just have to wipe away your cinematic tears, compartmentalize and move on!

Does she receive anonymous hate mail now? Yes, but whatever! It's mostly down to her #1 enemies Jamie McArthur and Annie Porter on that damned podcast ('Hunted In Domesdale'). They're always talking shit about Wendy and her stories. She will discredit them whenever she can!

All in all, Wendy feels very protected in this town. It's made her bold, brazen even, around supernaturals that could otherwise kill her. Who else would do her job though, huh? ‘Do you know who I am?! NO ONE can do what I do? Who’s gonna do it? That clown, George? Please!’.

Ever since learning of the supernatural world, Wendy has been obsessed with vampires. If there's one thing she now wants more than fame and fortune, it's to stay young and beautiful forever. I mean, god... she's almost thirty!
