List of Wednesday (TV series) characters

This is a list of characters from the Netflix series Wednesday (2022–present).^[1]

In this show, the term Outcast refers to anyone who has supernatural or paranormal abilities. It is because of their differences that Outcasts refer to regular humans as "Normies" and are often at odds with each other. Nevermore Academy is a school attended almost exclusively by several different species of Outcasts. They are sorted into the different categories listed below:

• Avians - Outcasts that can control birds
• DaVincis - Outcasts with telekinetic abilities
• Faceless - Outcasts who have no eyes, noses, or mouths. Despite having no mouth, they can still eat food
• Gorgons - Outcasts with snakes instead of hair that cause anyone who looks at them to turn to stone
• Hydes - Mutated Outcasts who are banned from attending Nevermore Academy. It takes a traumatic event to unleash a person's Hyde form.
• Psychics - Outcasts who can experience psychic visions. Some psychics are also experts at witchcraft.
• Pyros - Outcasts who possess pyrokinesis (the ability to generate and control fire)
• Shapeshifters - Outcasts who can assume the form of anyone they encounter
• Sirens - Outcasts whose siren songs can be used to brainwash and control anyone. Their songs will not work on anyone wielding an item made of Corinthian Coral. In addition, they can also turn their legs into a fish tail when submerged underwater.
• Sparks - Outcasts who possess electrokinesis (the ability to generate, store, and control electricity)
• Swarmers - Outcasts that can control insects
• Vampires - Outcasts with extended lifespans that must wear sunglasses when in the sunlight. Though they can drink blood, the Vampires can eat other food as well.
• Vanishers - Outcasts who possess the ability to turn themselves invisible
• Werewolves - Outcasts that assume bipedal wolf-like forms during a full moon and can retract their claws during the day
• Yetis - Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Chapter IV: Woe What A Night", that had gone extinct in the 1950s. The "Abominable Snowman" name was considered offensive to them.

Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega as a teenager, Karina Varadi as a young girl^[2]) is the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams and a psychic who can see visions of past, present and future. She is new to Nevermore Academy after she was expelled from her old school for trying to kill her brother's bullies by dropping piranhas in the school pool. She is introduced to her new school and her roommate, Enid Sinclair. In "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe", she is almost killed by Rowan Laslow and soon after witnesses him being murdered. She wins the Poe Cup race with Enid and finds the Nightshade Library in "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number". It is revealed that Joseph Crackstone tried to burn her ancestor Goody Addams alive in a vision she had in "Chapter III: Friend or Woe". Thing pretends to be Wednesday and asks Tyler to the school dance in "Chapter IV: Woe What a Night". After her father is arrested for murder in "Chapter V: You Reap What You Woe", Wednesday and Morticia work together to find that Garrett was not killed by Gomez, but by the nightshade poison he had in his pocket. She notices that Laurel Gates is still alive and witnesses Noble Walker being run over by a car in "Chapter VI: Quid Pro Woe". She attends Mayor Walker's funeral and runs into her uncle Fester afterwards. She discovers that the monster she was looking for is called a hyde from Nathaniel Faulkner's journal. Nathaniel's journal is later stolen, and Thing is stabbed while she goes on a date with Tyler in "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me By Now". She deduces that the master is Marilyn Thornhill and confronts her with Larissa. After Larissa is killed, Wednesday is knocked out and taken to Joseph Crackstone's crypt so that Marilyn can use her blood to break the lock which was placed on him by Goody Addams. After escaping from the crypt, she goes to Nevermore and kills Joseph Crackstone in "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes".

Goody Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega^[2]) is Wednesday's deceased ancestor from the 1600s who is a witch, psychic and ghost that only Wednesday can see in her visions. In "Chapter III: Friend or Woe", "Chapter VI: Quid Pro Woe" and "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", it was Goody who escaped from the execution of the local town's outcasts at the hands of Joseph Crackstone, the founder of Jericho, Vermont, whom she later killed, and eventually placed the lock upon Crackstone's crypt with her blood. Shortly after Marilyn Thornhill drains Wednesday of her blood to resurrect Crackstone and leaves her to die in the crypt, Goody appears to heal her.

Larissa Weems (portrayed by Gwendoline Christie as an adult, Oliver Wickha as a young woman^[2]) is Nevermore Academy's shapeshifting principal and Morticia's former roommate who introduces Wednesday to her school and roommate, Enid, despite Wednesday's lack of interest. In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number", it is revealed that she turned herself into Rowan after the real Rowan is killed by a hyde. In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", she disguises herself as Tyler to try to trick Marilyn Thornhill into confessing that she's actually Laurel Gates who manipulated Tyler into killing victims as a part of her plan to resurrect Joseph Crackstone, her deceased ancestor from the 1600s, and wipe out the outcasts from existence. However, Marilyn sees the ruse and kills Weems.

By season two, Weems was succeeded by Barry Dort.

Dr. Valerie Kinbott (portrayed by Riki Lindhome^[2]) is Wednesday's Nevermore Academy-appointed therapist from the local town of Jericho. In "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me by Now", Dr. Kinbott is killed by the Hyde after Wednesday suspects her of being the murderer due to seeing her in the forest with Xavier.

Donovan Galpin (portrayed by Jamie McShane as an adult, Ben Wilson as a young man^[2]) is Jericho's skeptical sheriff who is suspicious of Wednesday and has a history with Gomez.

During his attack on Wednesday in the season one finale, Tyler's Hyde form was attacked by Enid's werewolf form until Tyler was non-fatally shot by his father.

In season two, Tyler Galpin was incarcerated in a special cell in Willow Hill as Dr. Rachael Fairburn had brought Laurel Gates in to help control him. Amidst the mass-breakout caused by Uncle Fester, Tyler was freed by Gates. However, he gives her a five-second head start and chases after her.

By the time the sheriff department arrived to control the mass-breakout situation, their guns couldn't phase Tyler's Hyde form as he got away.

Xavier Thorpe (portrayed by Percy Hynes White^[2]) is a student at Nevermore with dream psychic and art-animating abilities.

At the start of season two, it was mentioned that Gates is incarcerated. Her old campus house was given to Morticia so that she would have time to decide if she wants to run the academy's fundraiser. When Gates was brought to Willow Hill to cooperate with Dr. Fairburn, she does speak with Tyler whose Hyde form tries to grab her. After seeing Uncle Fester, Gates informs Dr. Fairburn about it. Amidst the prisoner revolt, Gates frees Tyler who gives her 5 seconds to run. His Hyde form catches up to her and he impales her with his claws.

"Slurp" (portrayed by Owen Painter) started out as a story about a boy who made a mechanical heart to replace his own and indulged in mad science.

After causing a disturbance at an inn, Uncle Fester is arrested by the sheriff's department, where they find his various identities, including the one he used to rob a bank. He was committed to Willow Hill, where he enlisted the lunch lady, Louise, as a contact. Uncle Fester was directed to where Lois is by Augustus Stonehearst. He gets ambushed by the guards when Laurel Gates informs Dr. Fairburn about him, and he gets locked in the same cell as "Slurp". Wednesday later frees him, and they find that Lois is short for Long-term Outcast Integration Study (LOIS), where experiments done by Judi Spannegel gave outcast powers to normies.

Just then, Judi shows up. While revealed to be the person who killed Carl Bradbury with her crows, she revealed herself to be Augustus Stonehearst's daughter, the true chief psychiatrist of Willow Hill. She had gained Avian abilities from her father's experiments, where she used her crows (including a one-eyed crow) to kill private investigator Carl Bradbury and later Tyler Galpin.
