True. And before the Chosen were used to push Simon in a certain direction, Wendis was used similarly. In Simon's own words, "I'm too cautious. I always have been, even before Wendis... Wendis always had to push me." Wendis also made Simon more open sexual, especially in regards to polyamory. Wendis was almost certainly a part of whatever divine schemes are afoot. In fact, she was probably the first to start Simon down that path. How exactly she was involved is still an open question, though.

As for Wendis being divine in some way, I doubt it, but I don't think the idea is ludicrous. I think part of the reason for that supposition had to due with the mysterious circumstances of Wendis's "death" at the crypt. Now that we've learned more details of the event, I find it less likely. That being said, if it did turn out that Wendis is divine, I wouldn't find it contrived and feel that the idea is at least plausible. Even without being divine, per se, if the circumstances of Wendis's death made her special in some way, such as her soul sticking around or something, I would also find it plausible. If she's truly dead and gone, that would probably be for the best dramatically, but I wouldn't hate it if that wasn't the case.
