Wednesday Friday Addams is a fictional character created by American cartoonist Charles Addams in his comic strip The Addams Family. She has also appeared in television and film, in both live-action and animated formats. In most of the character's appearances, Wednesday is a pale, dark-haired, grim-looking girl who is fascinated with death and the ...
In Charles Addams' cartoons, which first appeared in The New Yorker, Wednesday and other members of the family had no names. When the characters were adapted to the 1964 television series, Addams gave her the name "Wednesday", based on the well-known nursery rhyme line, "Wednesday's child is full of woe."
In the TV series, her middle name is "Friday". In the Spanish-language version, her name is Miércoles Addams (Spain [Wednesday in Spanish]) or Merlina Addams (Latin America). In the Brazilian version, her name is Wandinha (Little Wanda in Portuguese), and in Italy, her name is Mercoledì (Wednesday in Italian).
Wednesday Series
She has black hair in two long braids, a fringe over her brow, a pale complexion, dark brown eyes, and black eyeshadow. She is relatively short compared to the other students at Nevermore and is also quite slim. She is often seen wearing black nail polish and, on occasion, black lipstick. Wednesday's wardrobe is completely monochrome, exclusively black and white. As stated by Morticia Addams in Episode 1, Wednesday is "allergic to color" and wears a custom black Nevermore uniform instead of the standard indigo. She wears the obsidian talisman her mother gave her in episode 1. Wednesday briefly owned a black "snood" that her roommate Enid gifted her for her 16th birthday, which she later lost at the Gates house. At the Rave'N dance, Wednesday is seen wearing a floor-length frilly black dress from Jericho's antique store, Uriah's Heap. The dress resembles a raven, which may foreshadow Morticia classifying her as a raven in Episode 5. It also features a black collar, possibly a reference to her traditional collared dress from previous adaptations. Wednesday also looks strikingly similar to her ancestor, Goody Addams. In episode six, her mother and father give her a taxidermy kit for her birthday.
She is fascinated with death and the macabre, as well as other dark things. In Addams Family 2, she struggled with being an "Addams,” being afraid of being different and later realizing that it is what the extra “d” in Addams stands for. She shows great concern when those she cares about are injured, as shown when Thing was stabbed in the Wednesday...
Powers
•Psychic Visions/Psychometry: Wednesday describes them as feeling like electroshock therapy but without the satisfying afterburn. Her visions trigger spontaneously at random and only seem to occur when she physically touches an object or person. Her visions show her events from the past or events in the near future, usually of a violent nature. Morticia tells Wednesday in Episode 5 that visions are influenced by the psychic's disposition. Since Wednesday is very cynical and sees the world through a darker lens, her visions tend to reflect this. She is considered a Raven, a psychic who experiences negative visions. •Spiritualist Practitioner: Using a séance, Wednesday attempted to summon Goody's spirit in order to learn how to control her psychic ability.
Abilities
•Peak Human Durability: Despite her appearance, Wednesday has great durability. She has shown herself to be capable of tolerating multiple injuries and continuing with little difficulty. While she is facing Joseph Crackston and receives an arrow shot in her shoulder, Wednesday is still able to fight, showing barely any sign of discomfort and even performing a side flip with little effort. •Pain Tolerance: Wednesday has an immense tolerance for pain. No matter how many injuries she gets or how dangerous they are, Wednesday will never complain, scream, or cry about it. When she is chained in Crackston's crypt, she tells Tyler that she won't cry or scream like a "little baby." She didn't even blink when she was kidnapped by the Nightshade Society and tied up her wrists tight enough to cut off circulation, demonstrating her great pain suppression. •Peak Human Smell: Wednesday states that her olfactory sense is remarkable, as she was able to pick up and recognize the whiff of Thing’s favorite hand lotion. •Genius-Level Intellect: Wednesday is a highly intelligent individual. Her IQ is far above average, even for someone beyond her age. Before getting expelled from her former school, she had perfect grades. Since a young age, Wednesday has been reading books by several famous authors, such as Nicholas Machiavelli, Edgar Allan Poe, or Agatha Christie. Wednesday has a vast knowledge of subjects like biology, especially regarding carnivorous plants; human anatomy, as seen whenever she is torturing someone; history; chemistry; and criminology. She also is very competent at creating plans, which are mostly successful; she managed to disclose Marilyn Thornhill's true identity to the principal Weems while she was transformed and made her believe that was Tyler. She was able to free herself of being tied up twice, thanks to a small knife she is always carrying with her in one of her shoes. Another example of her intelligence is when she resolved Poe's riddle and discovered the secret library. Since episode one, Wednesday has had multiple plans to escape Nevermore. Wednesday is also an enthusiastic author, having already written at least one novel about a serial killer. This was revealed to have been rejected by an editor, resulting in Wednesday sending this editor a box of mouse traps as a 'thank you'. Moreover, Wednesday is a talented cellist. She indulges in this habit frequently late at night. •Master Tactician: Wednesday is well known for always making plans down to the details. The night before the Poe Cup, she prepared, with the assistance of Thing, a trap to successfully defeat Bianca. After being kidnapped by the Nightshade Society, Wednesday was able to distract them and untie herself without anyone noticing, including Xavier Thorpe, who was right next to her. When she found out Tyler Galpin is the monster that has been committing all those murders, she trapped him by asking him to meet near the Crackston cave, and when she confronted him, she made sure he couldn't escape with the help of her friends, with Bianca using her siren voice to force Tyler into submission. •Master Investigator: Despite being only a teenager, Wednesday has demonstrated to be a highly competent detective, at least on a professional level. By herself, she keeps an investigation going to find out who's behind all the crimes in Nevermore. She was even capable of proving her father's innocence by solving the murder of Garrett Gates and learning that the cause of death was actually nightshade poisoning. •Expert Engineer: Although she doesn't show it very much, Wednesday is a very skilled engineer. She fixed the espresso machine in the cafe where Tyler works. Later, she alters the Black Cat team's canoe for the Edgar Allen Poe Cup race, equipping it with chariot piles, a fishing-net launcher, and a concealed outboard motor. She also reveals to Tyler that she built a steam-powered guillotine when she was ten. •Expert Scientist: She is well-learned in this subject, particularly regarding carnivorous plants, due to her mother being an "enthusiast" on the subject. Notably, she is able to discern from second-hand descriptions alone that Garrett's madness had been caused by exposure to nightshade extract. •Expert Interrogator: Wednesday is a genius when it comes to interrogation and torturing. When she finds out that Thing was sent by her parents to spy on her and report to them, she manipulates him by giving him two options: lock him up in her desk for the rest of the semester or submit to her and swear fidelity to her. Thing chooses to submit to her. •Expert Physician: Wednesday proved to have some knowledge of forensic science and human anatomy by being able to perform an autopsy on one of Tyler's victims. She also stitched Thing back up after he got stabbed. •Expert Martial Artist: Wednesday displays an impressive mastery of martial arts, as seen when she successfully defeats a group of boys (Jonah and Carter) led by Lucas Walker with ease. She was taught by Uncle Fester, whom she described as a former prisoner in a Tibetan monastery. Her style appears to be based on defensive evasion, and she is proficient with using striking and grappling counters to an effective degree. She is later seen employing this skill against Lucas when he and his group attempt to bully Eugene Ottinger in Pilgrim World, where Wednesday successfully uses her agility to outmaneuver and fight one of the gang. •Sword Mastery: Wednesday is an excellent fencer with a graceful finesse in swordsmanship, likely having been taught by her father. She appears to have a natural talent for it, as seen when Wednesday singlehandedly challenged Bianca Barclay without hesitation, who was the undisputed fencing champion in the training hall. After watching her easily defeat Rowan Laslow, Bianca would complain about the lack of "real competition," which Wednesday would later fill in. Wednesday was the only opponent to contend with Bianca evenly, and she was the only fencer in the academy to pose a legitimate challenge to the champion. Her fencing display of the lunge is also seen when she encounters Uncle Fester. Later, in facing a reincarnated version of Joseph Crackstone, Wednesday would incorporate her fencing skills with the use of a sword against the undead pilgrim. •Expert Marksman: Wednesday is very proficient with archery. When visiting Nevermore's archery club, she proves to be extremely accurate with her arrows, hitting the target twice, with the second time hitting an apple simultaneously. •Master Acrobat: Wednesday appears to be an adept gymnast, as she is capable of performing complex acrobatic maneuvers, such as somersaults. In her fencing duel against Bianca, Wednesday performs a side flip while dodging her attacks, and in her duel against a reincarnated Joseph Crackstone, Wednesday performs a defensive back flip to stagger the supernatural pilgrim. •Multilingualism: Wednesday is fluent in English, Spanish, and German. She is also capable of reading Latin and Italian, as seen when she helps Tyler fix a coffee machine with an instruction manual written in Italian and when she reads a stone inscription in Latin during an investigation in Nevermore Academy. In Pilgrim World, Wednesday speaks fluent German while dressing up as a guide for German tourists.
Weaknesses
•Mortality: Being a psychic outcast, Wednesday is, like normies, vulnerable to illness, injuries, and death.
Morticia Addams
Wednesday has always had a strained relationship with her mother. For most of the series, it can be seen that Wednesday has a one-sided rivalry with Morticia, often defying and rebelling against her. Although Morticia loves her daughter and wants the best for her, she is incapable of getting close to her. After she resolved the crime of Garrett Gates, Wednesday left her hatred behind and reconciled with Morticia.
Gomez Addams
Wednesday has a good relationship with her father. She is deeply grateful for the way he raised her. Wednesday demonstrates her affection by doing all in her power to prove that Gomez is innocent of the murder of Garrett Gates.
Pugsley Addams
Wednesday often performs experiments on her brother, either for fun or for punishment. She is nevertheless shown on occasions to care about him. In the Netflix series, Wednesday exacts revenge on the bullies who were tormenting Pugsley by releasing piranhas into the pool they were in, proclaiming, "The only person who gets to torture my brother is me."
