Main characters

[edit]
Wednesday Addams
Portrayed by: Jenna Ortega, Karina Varadi (Young)[2]
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]
Wednesday's deceased ancestor from the 1600s who is a witch, sorceress, 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.
Enid Sinclair
Portrayed by: Emma Myers[2]
Wednesday's colorful werewolf roommate at Nevermore Academy who attempts to become her friend despite Wednesday's lack of interest. In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number", she teams up with Wednesday to defeat Bianca and win the tournament. In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", she finally transforms into her werewolf form in order for her to defeat Tyler in his hyde form.
Larissa Weems
Portrayed by: Gwendoline Christie, Oliver Wickham (Young)[2]
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.
Dr. Valerie Kinbott
Portrayed by: Riki Lindhome[2]
Wednesday's Nevermore Academy-appointed therapist from the local town of Jericho who, in "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me by Now", 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, Ben Wilson (Young)[2]

Jericho's skeptical sheriff who is suspicious of Wednesday.

Tyler Galpin
Portrayed by: Hunter Doohan[2]

Sheriff Galpin's son and a barista at a local coffee shop who has a romantic interest on Wednesday.
