  • Question
    Am I supposed to cry when someone I obviously love has passed away?
    Community Answer
    No, Wednesday wouldn't do that. She would actually be fascinated with death and all the gory details about it. But if it's someone to whom you were extremely close, then go ahead and cry. Crying is a normal part of grieving.

  • Question
    Why does everyone at camp want her to be happy and smile?

    In the movie they see her as macabre, and single her out because of this. Because the people who work at the camp want everyone to be happy, they try to make Wednesday just like them. They also want her to participate in the activities.

  • Question
    Would she wear a cross?

    Wednesday's family isn't very religious, so I'd say no, she wouldn't. However, if it looks Victorian, maybe you could make it work.

  • Question
    How do I talk like Wednesday?

    Speak in a monotone voice and try your best to seem bored with everything. Wednesday is rarely ever cheery and is very dismal; her voice should reflect this.
  • Question
    What do I do if my friends make fun of me for cosplaying as Wednesday Addams?

    Ignore them. If you're having fun, that's really all that matters. If they're hurting your feelings, politely ask them to stop.
  • Question
    What kind of items would Wednesday not leave home without?
    Community Answer
    Her sarcasm and sharp, piercing look. When you see Wednesday in the movies, she doesn't have anything on her. Well, besides her Cyanide.
  • Question
    What can I wear if I don't have a dress?
    Community Answer
    Simple, modest, dark clothes will still give the Wednesday effect. While the clothing is important, the most important part is having her attitude and wit. Of course, you could always buy or borrow a dress, or even make one out any simple black fabric.
  • Question
    How can I avoid breaking character?
    Community Answer
    Play the character with intention. If you don’t naturally have a Wednesday-like personality, go so far as to make a point to be unsmiling and dark. It is much easier if that is your natural personality (obviously), or if you’ve been at it for a while.

  • Question
    What would Wednesday do if she was getting bullied?

  • Question
    How can I make myself look like Wednesday when I have freckles?

    What color are Wednesday’s tights?
