| "Child of woe is wan and delicate...sensitive and on the quiet side, she loves the picnics and outings to the underground caverns...loves the color black...a solemn child, prim in dress and, on the whole, pretty lost...secretive and imaginative, poetic, seems underprivileged and given to occasional tantrums...has six toes on one foot...." -Charles Addams |
Wednesday Friday Addams is a character created by American cartoonist Charles Addams in his comic strip The Addams Family.
Biography
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."
Description
In the original Addams Family cartoons illustrated by Charles, Wednesday is a pale, dark-haired, grim-looking little girl. She rarely smiles.
Personality
She is fascinated with death and the macabre, as well as other dark things. In most adaptations, she is shown to be a mostly expressionless or angry-looking girl with a monotone, blunt voice. However, this is all just a facade that she uses to hide an extremely mischievous and devious mind. She also occasionally smirks, usually either in a mischievous or satisfied manner.
She has greatly antisocial tendencies, which often make her come across as dissatisfied, self-centered, and ruthless towards those who don't know her, and is at first untrustworthy towards strangers. Over time, she becomes more tolerant and even becomes accepting of those she likes. Even though to a lesser extent, she shares the trait of being a prankster with Pugsley (whom she is known to beat up and torture), with her being the brains amongst the siblings.
