We’re still a while away from getting any more information regarding Wednesday Season 2. Since we’ve known about the cast changes that are coming (yay, Grandmama!) for a while, we thought we’d jump back to Season 1 and explain Nevermore’s social groups.
So, in the first episode, Wednesday’s roommate and future best friend, Enid Sinclair, mentions the four main groups. Stoners (gorgons), Furs (werewolves), Fangs (vampires) and Scales (sirens).
However, we learn fairly quickly that not all Outcasts fit into those four categories. Rowan, who is murdered in the first episode, has telekinesis. Wednesday is psychic, as is Morticia and potentially Eugene’s mothers, Sue and Janet.
Rowan mentioned to Wednesday that he “never thought it was possible to be an outcast in a school full of Outcasts.”
Let’s explore the Nevermore social groups and the outcasts who don’t belong in any of these groups.
Fangs (Vampires)
There is not a lot of information on the Fangs at Nevermore as they don’t have much of a role. The only thing we do know is that one of them is Yoko, who will not be appearing in Season 2.
Scales (Sirens)
Known for their seductive abilities, the Sirens are Nevermore’s version of the popular kids. Headed by Bianca Barclay, they don’t have a big role in the first season.
However, Bianca is a prominent character who has a long history with Xavier Thorpe. She was his girlfriend until he broke up with her because she was using her Siren song on him. Also, her mother, Gabrielle, is a Siren.
Furs (Werewolves)
Wednesday’s colourful and bubbly roommate Enid is a werewolf. However, unlike her peers, Enid is unable to wolf out and is considered a late bloomer. Her entire family are werewolves, including her brothers.
Stoners (Gorgons)
Ripped from the pages of Greek mythology, Stoners or Gorgons have to cover their heads to avoid turning each other and others to stone.
What’s unique about these Gorgons is that if they can turn themselves to stone on a temporary basis if they look at themselves in the mirror without their snakes being covered.
One notable Gorgon is Ajax, who becomes Enid’s boyfriend.
Other Outcasts
As we mentioned earlier, several characters don’t fit into the social groups presented at Nevermore.
To recap, we have:
Psychics/Seer
- Wednesday Addams
- Morticia Frump (later Addams)
- Sue Ottinger (possible)
- Janet Ottinger (possible)
- Rowan’s mother
- Xavier Thorpe
- Vincent Thorpe
Telepathy
- Rowan Laslow
There are other types of Outcasts we didn’t mention earlier. These include:
Electricity
- Uncle Fester
Hyde
- Tyler Galpin
- Francoise Galpin
Shape Shifter
- Larissa Weems
Insect Control
- Eugene Ottinger
Unclear
- Gomez Addams
- Pugsley Addams
- Grandmama Addams
The fascinating thing about Hydes is that due to how dangerous they are, they were banned from Nevermore. Larissa Weems, who was Morticia’s friend, romantic rival and roommate, confirmed that Francoise attended the school but didn’t know she was a Hyde.
To push this even further, Larissa says she didn’t know much about Francoise, despite Nevermore being a very small community. Also, she was a contemporary of Morticia’s as she was on the Fencing team.
How Francoise’s Hyde nature was able to slip anyone’s notice is unclear. Also, it is equally unclear, is how Tyler didn’t alert anyone to his Hyde nature. It could be possible that he wasn’t aware of it himself. There is the possibility he blacked out and couldn’t remember any of his kills. We know that Miss Thornhill or Laurel Gates was controlling him via her plants.
