Meet the characters from Wednesday

Bianca Barclay

Oh man, Bianca is the siren-of-the-school energy — stunning, sharp, and absolutely used to getting what she wants. She’s that lacquered cool girl who can make a hallway quiet with one look and then giggle about it later (occasionally a little too loudly, not that she’d admit it). Plays the game hard, competitive to the bone, but there’s an odd soft spot when it comes to loyalty — or maybe that’s just another tactic? Also, petty little fact: collects impossibly perfect seashells even though she claims to hate the beach, and yes, she will rewrite your entire playlist if you stand too close.

Xavier Thorpe

Xavier is the art-teacher-with-a-mystery-vibe who wears paint on his hands like a badge of honor and somehow manages to be both zen and awkward in the same breath. He speaks slowly, notices weird little details, and has that “I believe in you” energy that makes kids trust him — and also makes you suspicious because, you know, secrets. His studio is a chaotic shrine to creativity (candles, sketches, a suspiciously dignified rubber duck) and he seems to care deeply, maybe too deeply, about expression and truth. Honestly, he looks like the kind of person who would cry over a good sunset and then immediately try to fix your broken bike.

Eugene Ottinger

Eugene is the lovable nervous kid who tries very hard not to trip over his own courage — and often fails, in the best way. He’s a bundle of meticulous, anxious energy: will memorize trivia, build weird contraptions, and then blush when someone says his name. Endlessly loyal, a little clumsy, and secretly stubborn; he surprises people by being braver than he looks (also collects rubber stamps and tiny dinosaur figurines, for reasons). And okay, sometimes he talks in lists and it’s adorable and annoying at the same time.

Principal Weems

Principal Weems is polished, sharp, and moves through a room like an elegant storm — very controlled, very precise, but you can feel the current under the surface. She runs the place with ironically impeccable taste, a dry wit, and the sort of authority that makes people obey even when they don’t want to; there are layers of history there, like she keeps a whole biography in her glove compartment. She has this weirdly soft side that shows up in tiny acts (tea for the stressed, a note tucked into a locker) and then vanishes when the board comes calling. Fun little contradiction: she throws perfectly curated parties but will also be the first to shame your playlist.

Enid Sinclair

Enid is pure, exploding sunshine in patchwork sweaters — bubbly, sentimental, and allergic to being boring, but also quietly fierce when it counts. She’s got this huge heart and an ongoing identity crisis that she handles with glitter, friendship bracelets, and a surprising love for chaos theory (how? nobody knows). Werewolf vibes come with loyalty that could move mountains and a decor style that mixes rainbows with an alarming number of throw pillows. Also, she tries to be spooky for like a week every month and fails adorably, then cries into a crochet blanket about it.

Tyler Galpin

Tyler is small-town earnestness personified — kind, slightly broody, suspiciously good at reading people and also really into woodworking or motorcycles (pick one; he probably likes both). He treats the world like a series of problems to be gently solved, which makes him a nice contrast to more dramatic types, but don’t mistake that for boring; he has tempers and surprising layers. Protective, a little naive, and stubborn about his principles (and his hat collection), he can be sweetly clueless or unnervingly intense depending on the playlist. Quirk: he’ll give you relationship advice and then immediately lose his keys for three days.

Morticia Addams

Morticia is the graceful, deadpan queen of cool darkness — elegant, unflappable, and somehow both tender and terrifying in the same sentence. She adores her family with a kind of poetic, gothic devotion that can be equal parts nurturing and deliciously unsettling; she waters plants that whisper back, probably. Witty, stylish, and always in control (except when she’s experimenting with a new perfume that smells like midnight and old books), she has the kind of calm that makes chaos look like a hobby. Little oddity: she can recite obscure poetry while trimming bonsai and will definitely make you tea that tastes faintly of thunder.
