What is the best Wednesday character?

By YPB Team

Nevermore Academy is packed with outcasts, monsters, and secrets — from the deadpan protagonist to loyal sidekicks and the villains hiding in plain sight. Who's your favourite?

Wednesday Addams

The deadpan, death-obsessed protagonist played by Jenna Ortega — a psychic detective and Nevermore Academy's most formidable student, equal parts anti-hero and reluctant heart of the show.
