Wedy

Normal text

Weddy (ウエディ Uedi), is a professional catburglar under the employ of L.

Appearance
Wedy has shoulder length blond hair and a curvy figure. She wears sunglasses and bare shouldered tops with long black leather pants and sometimes a leather suit. She is usually seen smoking cigarettes.

Character
Like L and Watari, Wedy also uses an initial in her computer communication. In order to avoid confusion with Watari ("W"), she deliberately uses the lowercase form, "w".

Plot
The second daughter in the Kenwood family, Wedy is also an expert with surveillance. She installs bugs in the Yotsuba Group's meeting room to secretly eavesdrop on the group's weekly meetings. She does the same for Kyosuke Higuchi's various cars, allowing the team to watch his desperate attempts to kill Touta Matsuda. After L's death, Light writes her name into the Death Note. She dies on January 10th in a traffic accident while in Colorado. In the anime version she seems to suffer a heart attack while driving her motorcycle, only crashing after dying (only her name is shown written in the Death Note).

Conception
According to Takeshi Obata, he drew Wedy as a female model as he did not know what kind of character she would be. He added that Weddy has the "stereotypical female spy look." Obata believes that if he drew Aiber and Weddy to look "a little bit more original", Ohba could have included the characters in a larger role in Death Note.

Trivia

 * Wedy, Matt, Demegawa, Ukita and Yamanaka are the only characters in the series who smoke (in the anime though, the scene where Ukita smoked wasn't shown).
