Overview

Outcast overview

In the series, the term Outcast refers to anyone who has supernatural or paranormal abilities. It is because of their differences that Outcasts refer to regular humans as "Normies" and are often at odds with each other. Nevermore Academy is a school attended almost exclusively by several different species of Outcasts. They are sorted into the different categories listed below:
  • Avians – Outcasts that can control birds.
  • Cyclopes – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
  • DaVincis – Outcasts with telekinetic abilities.
  • Faceless – Outcasts who have no eyes, noses, or mouths. Despite having no mouth, they can still eat food.
  • Gorgons – Outcasts with snakes instead of hair that cause anyone who looks at them to turn to stone.
  • Hydes – Mutated Outcasts who are banned from attending Nevermore Academy. It takes a traumatic event to unleash a person's Hyde form.
  • Minotaurs – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
  • Psychics – Outcasts who can experience psychic visions. Some psychics are also experts at witchcraft. Two types of psychics exist: Doves have a kinder personality and see positive outcomes from their visions while Ravens have a more cynical personality and have a negative outlook regarding their visions.
  • Pyros – Outcasts who possess pyrokinesis.
  • Shapeshifters – Outcasts who can assume the form of anyone they encounter.
  • Sirens – Outcasts whose siren songs can be used to brainwash and control anyone. Their songs will not work on anyone wielding an item made of Corinthian Coral. In addition, they can also turn their legs into a fish tail when submerged underwater.
  • Sparks – Outcasts who possess electrokinesis.
  • Swarmers – Outcasts that can control arthropods.
  • Vampires – Outcasts with extended lifespans that must wear sunglasses when in the sunlight. Though they can drink blood, the vampires can eat other food as well.
  • Vanishers – Outcasts who possess the ability to turn themselves invisible.
  • Werewolves – Outcasts that assume bipedal wolf-like forms during a full moon and can retract their claws during the day.
  • Yetis – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Woe What a Night", that had gone extinct in the 1950s. The "Abominable Snowman" name was considered offensive to them.

    Main characters

Wednesday Addams

Wednesday Addams is the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams. Wednesday is a Raven; a psychic who can see gloomy visions of past, present and future. She is new to Nevermore Academy after she was expelled from her old school for trying to kill her brother's bullies by dropping piranhas in the school pool. She is introduced to her new school and her roommate, Enid Sinclair. In "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe", she is almost killed by Rowan Laslow and soon after witnesses him being murdered. She wins the Poe Cup race with Enid and finds the Nightshade Library in "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number". It is revealed that Joseph Crackstone tried to burn her ancestor Goody Addams alive in a vision she had in "Chapter III: Friend or Woe". Thing pretends to be Wednesday and asks Tyler to the school dance in "Chapter IV: Woe What a Night". After her father is arrested for murder in "Chapter V: You Reap What You Woe", Wednesday and Morticia work together to find that Garrett was not killed by Gomez, but by the nightshade poison he had in his pocket. She notices that Laurel Gates is still alive and witnesses Noble Walker being run over by a car in "Chapter VI: Quid Pro Woe". She attends Mayor Walker's funeral and runs into her uncle Fester afterwards. She discovers that the monster she was looking for is called a hyde from Nathaniel Faulkner's journal. Nathaniel's journal is later stolen, and Thing is stabbed while she goes on a date with Tyler in "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me By Now". She deduces that the master is Marilyn Thornhill and confronts her with Larissa. After Larissa is killed, Wednesday is knocked out and taken to Joseph Crackstone's crypt so that Marilyn can use her blood to break the lock which was placed on him by Goody Addams. After escaping from the crypt, she goes to Nevermore and kills Joseph Crackstone in "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes".
In season two, Wednesday has been using her gift to track down elusive serial killers. Her misuse of her gift causes it to go on the fritz and strain her relationship with Morticia. After being in a coma for two weeks after being defenestrated by Tyler Galpin she gains Larissa Weems as her new spirit guide. It was also revealed that Wednesday is allergic to color. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Wednesday and Thing join Uncle Fester in looking for Enid.

Goody Addams

Goody Addams is Wednesday's deceased ancestor from the 1600s who is a witch, psychic and ghost that only Wednesday can see in her visions. In "Chapter III: Friend or Woe", "Chapter VI: Quid Pro Woe" and "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", it was Goody who escaped from the execution of the local town's outcasts at the hands of Joseph Crackstone, the founder of Jericho, Vermont, whom she later killed, and eventually placed the lock upon Crackstone's crypt with her blood. Shortly after Marilyn Thornhill drains Wednesday of her blood to resurrect Crackstone and leaves her to die in the crypt, Goody appears to heal her.

Larissa Weems

Larissa Weems is Nevermore Academy's shapeshifting principal and Morticia's former roommate who introduces Wednesday to her school and roommate, Enid, despite Wednesday's lack of interest. In "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number", it is revealed that she turned herself into Rowan after the real Rowan is killed by a hyde. In "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes", she disguises herself as Tyler to try to trick Marilyn Thornhill into confessing that she's actually Laurel Gates who manipulated Tyler into killing victims as a part of her plan to resurrect Joseph Crackstone, her deceased ancestor from the 1600s, and wipe out the outcasts from existence. However, Marilyn sees the ruse and kills Weems.
By season two, Weems was succeeded by Barry Dort. Larissa Weems later returns, briefly, as Wednesday's spirit guide. When Wednesday states that it would be impossible as the Addams family's spirit guides are usually a dead relative, Weems states that they are 13th cousins twice removed. She does seem annoyed when she learns that Dort was made her successor when she didn't have him on her list of possible successors and when he doesn't plan on honoring her sacrifice at the Outcast Day of Remembrance. Morticia soon starts to interact with Weems' spirit guide form when she detects her. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Weems returns to the afterlife.

Dr. Valerie Kinbott

Dr. Valerie Kinbott is Wednesday's Nevermore Academy-appointed therapist from the local town of Jericho. In "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me by Now", Dr. Kinbott is killed by the Hyde after Wednesday suspects her of being the murderer due to seeing her in the forest with Xavier.

Donovan Galpin

Donovan Galpin is Jericho's skeptical sheriff who is suspicious of Wednesday and has a history with Gomez.
In season two, Galpin has resigned from his position and become a private investigator. He was later found dead. Wednesday and Uncle Fester later learn that Judi Spannegel was responsible for the deaths of him and the private investigator Carl Bradbury. Galpin later returns as a hallucination that speaks to Tyler following his escape.

Tyler Galpin

Tyler Galpin is Sheriff Galpin and Françoise Galpin's son, Isaac Night's nephew, and a barista at a local coffee shop who has a romantic interest on Wednesday. He is later revealed to be a Hyde due to his assumed late mother being one as well. During his attack on Wednesday in the season one finale, Tyler's Hyde form was attacked by Enid's werewolf form until Tyler was non-fatally shot by his father.
In season two, Tyler Galpin was incarcerated in a special cell in Willow Hill as Dr. Rachael Fairburn had brought Laurel Gates in to help control him. Amidst the mass-breakout caused by Uncle Fester, Tyler was freed by Gates. However, he gives her a five-second head start and chases after her. After impaling Gates with his claws, Tyler's Hyde form encountered Wednesday and defenestrated her. By the time the sheriff department arrived to control the mass-breakout situation, their guns couldn't phase Tyler's Hyde form as he got away. After a hallucination of his father, Tyler's Hyde form kills a hitman that Judi Spannagel hired to take out the escaped Willow Hill patients. With help from his mother Françoise, who was actually alive, Morticia had Tyler removed from Jericho as part of a deal. Though Isaac Night has a plan to have their revenge on the Addams family that would involve trying to remove Françoise's Hyde side. After Pugsley is kidnapped, Tyler is strapped to a table by his mother so that his Hyde form can be removed. Thanks to Wednesday's sabotage, Tyler attacks Isaac and fights his mother. With Françoise hanging from the edge, Tyler tries to save her only for Françoise to commit suicide by letting herself fall. At the graves of his parents, Tyler is approached by Isadora Capri who offers to let him join a group of Hydes. He only accepted after hearing that Capri's father was a Hyde.

Xavier Thorpe

Xavier Thorpe is a student at Nevermore with dream psychic and art-animating abilities.
In the season two premiere "Here We Woe Again," Xavier left Nevermore Academy and is currently attending at Reichenbach Academy in Switzerland after his father Vincent withdrew from being Nevermore Academy's benefactor. Xavier sent Wednesday a portrait of crows on a tombstone explaining that it was part of his latest vision.
