  • Wendy Earheart is Joseph Carpenter's young assistant. In the ROD novels, at least, she is of partly Indian ancestry. Creator Hideyuki Kurata has said that he took Wendy's surname from Amelia Earhart, the famous American aviator. In the OVA, much of Wendy's work seems strictly secretarial. She prepares files, fetches needed materials, and also prepares tea for Joseph Carpenter. Yet Joseph Carpenter also entrusts Wendy with some critically important counterespionage work. When he becomes suspicious of the loyalty of one of his agents, Joseph Carpenter assigns Wendy to investigate. He even tells her to "use dirty tricks" if neccessary. Wendy accepts this unquestioningly and uncovers the truth. In the ROD TV series Wendy takes a much more active role for the British Library's Special Operations Division, helping to direct missions and taking care of Junior. She has clearly become Joseph Carpenter's second in command. She plays a vital role in the development of the plot. Midway through the TV series, Wendy writes a report for Joseph Carpenter describing the events since the destruction of the I-Jin in the ROD OVA. This serves to link the OVA and TV continuities. In the ROD manga, Wendy appears to be slightly younger than she is in the OVA. Though only a British Library apprentice at this stage, she serves as an undercover field agent, masquerading as a schoolgirl in order to assist Yomiko Readman in her efforts to track down a secret library. By the end of the manga, Wendy has become an assistant for Yomiko's friend, the writer Nenene Sumiregawa. Wendy also appears in the ROD novels. Her role in them is not yet fully known, but part of at least one novel describes her efforts to join the British Library staff. Wendy is helped in this quest by Karen Toped, her roomate and a British Library employee. Karen is reportedly much more stylish and sophisticated than Wendy.
