Wendy Everly is the daughter of Elora Dahl, queen of the Trylle, and Oren, king of the Vittra. When she was born, her mother switched her and the recently born son of Kimberly Everly, Rhys (Michael); a process famously known as Changelings. When she was six years old, her host mother tried to kill her, but failed, and has been in a mental institution ever since. Since then, she's been living with her host brother Matt (Matthew) and her host aunt Maggie. When she was seventeen, she discovered she was in fact a Trylle, and left her home to discover a new world.
