The Widow Johnson

Wendy Johnson in The Sad, Sad Song of Widow Johnson, Part One (SNMOM #1)

Wendy "The Widow" Johnson is a character in Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars. She is played by Shannon Woodward.

History

Wendy was married, but Mr. Johnson was killed pre-canon. He probably died shortly before Sparks Nevada's first encounter with K of the Cosmos as told in the first sub-story in Sparks Nevada's "I'm from Earth" Day Special.

She lives near town on Mars. She is Felton's next door neighbor, and Felton is not-so-secretly in love with her. She and Felton held hands once, and Felton thinks about it "basically all the time."

The Widow Johnson has a baby, who has as of yet only been called the Baby Johnson. She also is capable of ferocious bloodlust if put into a Gladiator-style arena.

In Sheriff on Mars, Wendy inadvertently shoots and kills Felton while trying to save him from a rogue robot. Felton is soon resurrected by the Barkeep, using The Force Galactic. Just before Felton dies, Wendy admits she has begun to have feelings for Felton. The two are likely now in a romantic relationship.

The Widow Johnson also runs a boarding house, which Ginny West stayed at while on her trial period as a Mars troubleshooter.
