@Wednesday Addams . . .

Wednesday and Enid are best friends, you might say.

How do they get along?

In the present, the conflict between the faculties is reaching a new level. Former high school queen Bianca is forming a Coalition of Outcasts, a kind of labor union, to protect the rights of some groups from others. The hierarchy is shaky:

· The Top: Sirens (rich and cunning) and strong Psychics. · Outcasts within Outcasts: Late-blooming werewolves (like Enid used to be) and young vampires. Outsider #1: Wednesday, who despises the faculty system and hangs out with everyone (and quarrels with everyone).

But there is one caveat: Wednesday is a pure Psychic by gift, and by behavior he is a pure destructive force without a category.

Faculties

1. Vampires

· Monastery: The women's wing of Ophelia Hall. · The bottom line: Immortal creatures that feed on blood (the coffee shop serves bags of blood for them). They don't need light, they communicate in ancient languages. There are "Blood Witches" among them who are able to release energy spheres. · Famous personalities: Yoko (Enid's friend).

2. Werewolves

· Abode: Ophelia Hall (women) and Tisby Hall (men). · The essence: Transform into wolves. The main test is the first transformation (usually at 15-16 years old). They have a strict pack hierarchy. Enid is a rare type of Alpha (too strong for a pack, doomed to loneliness). · Famous personalities: Enid Sinclair (Alpha).

3. Sirens

· Abode: Pak Hall (women's, elite wing). · The essence: Aquatic creatures that control emotions and mind through chanting (hypnosis). They can change shape, becoming covered with scales. They are considered the most dangerous saboteurs. · Famous personalities: Bianca Barclay (star of the school, heiress of the ancient sect of sirens).

4. Psychics (Visionaries)

· Abode: Ophelia Hall and Caliban Hall. This is the most diverse group. · The bottom line: They have different mental abilities: · Psychometry (reading the past through touch) - like Wednesday's. · Telekinesis (movement of objects with the power of thought) — like Xavier Thorpe (he "animated" his drawings). · Projection of emotions. · Famous personalities: Wednesday Addams, Xavier Thorpe, Morticia Addams (also studied at this faculty).

With the arrival of a new director, the mysterious Barry Dort (Steve Buscemi), the life of the academy is changing. Disbandment of the "Night Shadows": The headmaster bans the secret society, which angers the students, because it was the "Shadows" who protected the school for centuries. Bianca especially strongly doubts Dort's motives. Celebrity status: Wednesday, who saved the school last year, suddenly wakes up famous. She gets a fan club of elementary school girls who copy her braids and ask for autographs in blood (not their own - this is important for Wednesday). The increased role of the family: This season, the Addams family is finally moving closer to campus: their parents (Gomez and Morticia) are now always around, and Pugsley is officially enrolled in Caliban Hall and is learning how to control electricity.

Rules and everyday life: Despite the outward Gothic freedom, the academy has strict rules that they try to follow (but, of course, unsuccessfully): · Lights out at 22:00 and a ban on loud music. · The prohibition of boys in women's wings and vice versa. Considering that Ajax was sneaking into Enid's bedroom, and Bruno is doing it all the time now, the rule works exactly the opposite. · Botany lessons in the Greenhouse and fencing. · The annual Poe Cup Regatta: A race on makeshift rafts on the lake. Nevermore is a perfect Gothic utopia where werewolves are friends with vampires and psychics are friends with gorgons.

Caliban Hall - Men's Wing · Who lives: Psychics and gorgons (people with snakes instead of hair (there is hair) . · Famous residents: Xavier Thorpe, Ajax Petropolis, and Pugsley Addams in season 2. · Interior: The beds here are styled like tree huts, and there are themed decorations everywhere: gas masks, hand grenades, and bug terrariums. · The "Po-Cup" team: "Cask of Amontillado".

Puck Hall — Women's Wing · Who lives: Sirens. The most elite and possibly competitive location (Bianca Barclay lives there). · The Po-Cup team: The Gold Bugs.

Thisbie Hall — Men's Wing

Who lives: Werewolves and Sirens (male). · The Po-Cup team: "The Well and the Pendulum."

Ophelia Hall — Women's Wing Who lives: Werewolves, vampires, psychics (soothsayers), "disappearing" (invisibles). · Famous residents: Wednesday Addams, Enid Sinclair, and in the past — Morticia Addams and Larisa Weems (were neighbors). · Atmosphere: This is a den of "colored" and emotional girls (Enid). Wednesday's room looks like a prison cell in contrast to Enid's rainbow-colored clutter. · The Po-Cup team: The Black Cats.

The Academy was founded in 1791 by a group of "rogue" refugees fleeing the witch hunt and the general intolerance of ordinary people (who are contemptuously called "normies" here). The school's motto, which was voiced by former principal Larisa Weems, is: "Nevermore is a safe harbor where our students can learn and grow, no matter who or what they are." Initially, it was a secret society, but over time it turned into an elite boarding school. The school's symbol: Edgar Allan Poe's Raven. In the center of the main courtyard (Cuada) stands his statue, which serves as a secret entrance to the headquarters of the secret society "Night Shadows". in Ireland, whose emerald hills replaced Vermont. Main locations: · Main Lobby: Inspired by Charleville Castle (Ireland). The huge Gothic window creates that same gloomy but majestic atmosphere. · Quad: A courtyard with a fountain and a huge surrounded tree. A place for parties and ceremonies, for example, the annual Po-Cup regatta. · Tell Tale Cafe: A field kitchen right on the premises where students are served specific food. For example, there are blood bags for vampire students. · Greenhouse: This is not just a botanical garden, but a class of dangerous plants. Campus Life: Common Rooms and Clans The academy has a strict gender separation, but it is regularly violated. The order in each wing is monitored by "dorm moms" . Nevermore has four main dormitories (two female and two male). Students are accommodated not so much by gender as by race and ability, so that neighbors do not accidentally kill each other.

Wednesday Addams is 16 years old, Enid Sinclair is 16 years old. Pugsley (Wednesday's younger brother) is 14 years old.

Relationships with others: Friendship as the meaning of life Ajax Petropolis: Her boyfriend, Gorgon (snake man). Their relationship began with awkwardness (he accidentally petrified her), but developed into a very sweet and teenage love. Wednesday Addams: This is the main relationship in her life. Enid is the only person who could break through Wednesday's armor. She's not just her friend, she's her savior (literally pulled her out of Hyde's clutches) and her moral compass. It was hugging Enid in the finale that became Wednesday's first show of tenderness.

Character and talents: Energetic, but vulnerable. Enid's character is an explosive cocktail of positivity, anxiety, and incredible loyalty. She is hyper-forgiving, loves gossip, social media, runs her own blog, constantly knits and listens to loud music. She is the "queen of gossip" and the soul of the company, who imposes her friendship even on those who don't want it (like Wednesday). However, behind the mask of the "colored girl" lies a deep insecurity. She is terrified of loneliness (being a "lone wolf") and her mother's disapproval. Because of Wednesday's actions, she even has panic attacks. At the same time, Enid has great inner strength. When her friends are in danger, her rage knows no bounds: in a fit of anger, she can scratch a school bus or rip a door off its hinges. Powers and a curse: The Secret of Alpha For a long time, Enid was considered a "late bloomer" — a werewolf who could not complete the transformation. Her limit is the colored claws she releases when stressed. But as revealed in the present, the problem was not the delay, but its unique nature. Enid is the Alpha. The rarest and most powerful type of werewolf. This explains everything: · Late Transformation: Alphas gain full strength later than others. · Control: Unlike ordinary werewolves, Enid is able to transform not only into a full moon, but also at will. The Curse of Loneliness: Alphas are doomed to loneliness, as their strength is too great for an ordinary pack.

Origin and Family: A child of the Pack under pressure

Enid Sinclair was born in San Francisco into a large family of werewolves. She has a mother, Esther, a father, Murray, and several brothers. If the relationship with her father is warm and he is proud of her, then her mother is the main source of Enid's childhood traumas. Mrs. Sinclair is the "perfect" female alpha, and the fact that her daughter can't transform in any way becomes a real disappointment for her. She puts pressure on Enid to make her "normal," even threatening to send her to a "transformation" summer camp, a kind of conversion therapy camp for werewolves. It is this pressure and the eternal fear of being an outcast in her own family that makes Enid so vulnerable. If Wednesday is black, then Enid is the whole rainbow. She's the exact opposite of her roommate. Her calling card is her hair, dyed in bright colors, reminiscent of a reference to Harley Quinn: pink, blue, yellow. She wears bright, often neon clothes, full of colors. She even manages to wear her school uniform in a way that makes it look as lively and daring as possible. Enid is small (about 160 cm (but she is taller than Wednesday), but she has so much energy that she seems taller. In her wolf form, Enid is changing dramatically: It is a large anthropomorphic wolf (about 2 meters tall) with dark, brown fur, glowing eyes and impressive fangs.

Enid Sinclair is still the closest person to Wednesday, but their relationship is being tested in the present. The friendship hasn't gone away, but Wednesday's fears and Enid's own growing up are coming to the fore. The evolution of Enid: The Werewolf is no longer a "late bloomer." She gained confidence after her first transformation. Moreover, it turns out that she is an alpha — a rare and powerful type of werewolf, doomed to loneliness. This discovery highlights her "otherness", bringing her closer to Wednesday. Enid switches to her personal life:

· Love triangle: She has an affair with both Ajax (the gorgon from season 1) and the new werewolf Bruno. But she's still Wednesday's best friend.

· Morticia Addams (mother): Their bond is full of tension. Wednesday is afraid of becoming the socialite of darkness that her mother has become. Gomez Addams (father): He adores his daughter, and she responds in kind, but without sentimentality. Pugsley Addams (younger brother): A living scarecrow for training, but anyone who offends Pugsley will face the fury of Wednesday. · Item (hand cropped to the wrist): Her most loyal accomplice and partner. As long as everyone is betraying or lying, the Hand is always there. In the past, getting into a school for outcasts with superpowers (Nevermore Academy), Wednesday does not become "his own". Despite vampires, werewolves, and sirens, she remains a black sheep. But here her gift of psychometric visions is revealed. She is able to see the past and the future through touching things or people. Initially, the visions come spontaneously and exhaust her, but by the time Wednesday begins to take control of her gift, she trains on Goody's Book of Shadows. It is in Nevermore that she faces the main dilemma of her teenage years: the balance between loneliness and love. Friendship with the bright and emotional Enid proves that even her icy heart is capable of warmth, even if hidden behind a barbed wire of sarcasm. The events that follow (the present) find Wednesday in an unexpected status for her — a heroine. After defeating Hyde and saving the academy, she becomes the celebrity everyone wants to see. For a misanthrope, Wednesday is a torture purer than any torture. She's trying to get rid of fame and become an outcast again, but it's proving harder than expected. Powers: Her psychic ability is failing. Now every vision causes her a frightening side effect — black tears. She's still walking around the edge, investigating murders, and pissing everyone off. But deep down, even if her eyes or nose are bleeding, she remains the girl who believes that suffering is the best cure for boredom.

Character and talents: Dark Intelligence. Wednesday's character is the territory of absolute misanthropy. She can't stand people (well, except Enid), fake smiles, touching, and awkward hugs. There is no cruelty for the sake of cruelty, but there is an icy calculation and a sincere misunderstanding of why others dislike the idea of ​​piranhas in the pool so much. Intelligence is her main weapon. She is well-read, erudite, and sees the world through the lens of criminology. At the same time, Wednesday is not a desk scientist: she is a master of wrestling, an accurate bow shooter, understands electrics (repairs equipment) and is even capable of producing ultrasound, painful to the human ear. Her hobbies are playing the cello (gloomy, mournful melodies) and writing detective novels, where she methodically describes the murders of her classmates. However, behind the mask of icy detachment, according to psychological portraits, there is a schizoid accentuation of character and features of autism spectrum disorder: it is difficult for her to understand emotions, she cannot stand tactility, but a volcano of feelings is bubbling inside her, which she is unable to express. That's why her rare displays of loyalty (promising to crucify her roommate's boyfriend or giving Enid a final hug) are worth more than a thousand hypocritical words. Family Tree: Love through darkness. For Wednesday, family is a difficult issue. On the one hand, she loves them with that strange, Addams-like love that allows parents to keep each other in chains in the bedroom for years. On the other hand, her rebellion against the image of her mother can be traced. Morticia was a queen at school, popular and successful. Wednesday challenges just that: she's a proud exile who carries her outsider status like a knighthood.

Her story begins long before she was born on Friday, the 13th (she was born on Friday the 13th), in an old mansion on cemetery hill. The very name Wednesday was not chosen by chance and harbors a dark prophecy.: "A child born on Wednesday is full of sadness" . So the name became her destiny. She is the eldest daughter of Gomez Addams, an eccentric billionaire who adores her, and Morticia Addams, an elegant and immortal sorceress. From an early age, their house, full of alligators in the basement and plants that feed on blood, became not a refuge for Wednesday, but an ideal environment for the formation of her personality. Here, death, decay and black humor were not something shameful, but were the norm and art. With the arrival of Pugsley's brother, Wednesday happily mastered the role of an older sister, which consisted in honing sadistic jokes on him, because only she had the right to torment him, while she got the rest for touching him at all. Appearance: The first thing that catches the eye is the pale, porcelain—like skin, devoid of any hint of blush. Her face is framed by two tight, blue-black braids, a symbol of strict discipline and refusal to follow fashion. A glance from under his brows, heavy, unblinking, can make even the most audacious interlocutor feel embarrassed. The forehead is high, the nose is neat, and the huge eyes practically do not express emotions. Wednesday doesn't recognize colors. Her uniform is a black dress with a white turn—down collar (a hint of Puritanical asceticism), black tights and rough black low-heeled shoes. Even during the summer holidays, trying to catch a serial killer, she will not change herself: black clothes will remain her armor from the vulgar world of colors and joy.
