Wednesday Addams

Wednesday is a teenage girl of Mexican ancestry, with chest-length raven black hair always worn in her signature style: two braided pigtails completed with wispy middle-parted bangs. Her other features include a pale, freckled face, high cheekbones, a slim build, piercing onyx eyes with matching fingernails and black eyeshadow, and a permanent death glare, which Uncle Fester notes is similar to that of her mother. Wednesday is described as a highly sadistic, morbid, solemn, black-humored, intelligent, introverted, studious, independent, aloof, and observant girl with a strong fascination with the macabre and death, something many people find disturbing and abnormal. She is shown to enjoy her own way of doing things without caring for what people think of her and preferring to be defined by her own terms, displaying qualities of self-assuredness, a strong will, a free spirit, leadership, fierce independence, assertiveness, as well as stubbornness, single-mindedness, headstrongness, and a rebellious streak. Blunt and sharp, Wednesday exhibits a "straight-to-the-point" attitude and a habit of making snarky and severely grim replies in a dry-wit manner; because of this, it's hard to distinguish whether she's joking or not (it's likely the latter). She can also be quite moody, especially after experiencing a vision; she's very firm about what she saw (which she had been correct most of the time), getting irritated whenever people don't believe her, thus at times being irrational.

Originally very closed-off and unfeeling, which stems from the trauma she received from being bullied, she had difficulty building deep friendships with people prior to attending Nevermore. As the series progressed, she became slightly more compassionate and open to new experiences, even making some friends and nearly developing a romantic relationship with Tyler. She cares deeply about her friends and family, though she may not ever admit it.

As shown in the show, Wednesday has a very dark personality with sadistic tendencies: waterboarding her brother for entertainment, smiling sinisterly while watching piranhas attack Pugsley's bullies in the pool, kidnapping and torturing Tyler with no mercy, et cetera, as well as hubris, arrogance, a superior complex, wrath, recklessness, finding painful and miserable situations to be pleasurable, and having anti-social qualities.

Wednesday also demonstrates great skill and talent, as shown through her ability to rival Bianca Barclay, captain of the fencing team, in swordsmanship, write novels, solve riddles, ace her classes, play the cello, et cetera. As well as being book smart, analytical, attentive, logical, and ambitious, she is incredibly street smart, quick-witted, competent, clever, resourceful, cunning, sneaky, and crafty.

In spite of her less sympathetic traits, she is extremely loyal to her friends and family, as shown by her intentions to protect outcasts and the people she cares for. ✣ love at first sight…? ✣
