"Why I Love Wednesday Addams" Part 1: Introduction
Wednesday Addams is an outcast. This applies in several ways throughout the series. The mystical aspects are covered in the next paragraph. This one introduces the social aspects. Wednesday is a staunch introvert; she not only enjoys her own company, she enjoys when other people dislike her because it discourages them from bothering her. She is an outcast among Outcasts, not getting along well even with other extraordinary people at Nevermore Academy. Consequently she is often a scapegoat, blamed for problems even when she has an alibi, as when Principal Weems blamed Wednesday for blowing up the statue of Joseph Crackstone even though Wednesday was in clear view playing her cello when it happened.
This has its upsides, like her impressive list of skills and accomplishments. Outcasts also have the ability to see society more clearly than insiders, particularly failure modes and other inconvenient truths. It also has its downsides, like not knowing even basic relationship skills for courtship, platonic friendship, or alliance. Her family ties are deeper, but not expressed in much healthier ways. Because Wednesday doesn't put much stock in relationships, or people in general, she doesn't make much effort to maintain them. We only see a few examples of her genuinely caring about others, and a lot of that is more territorial than affectionate. This matches with her general preference to be alone; she hasn't had enough friends to learn many social skills, which supports her solitude.
The question for both the showrunners and fanwriters is whether to stick with the character's established habits and repeatedly expressed preferences by leaving her largely alone, or to push her to form more relationships and learn the skills to maintain them. Since almost all characters are presented in relationships, having a durable outcast-loner in comparatively rare and thus valuable for diversity. But even if the later seasons try to change Wednesday to make her more personable, or at least connected, we still have the established content of Season 1 to write her as an island ... "A well-fortified one surrounded by sharks."
Wednesday Addams: I act as if I don't care if people dislike me. Deep down... I secretly enjoy it.
Marilyn Thornhill: Never lose that, Wednesday.
Wednesday Addams: Lose what?
Marilyn Thornhill: The ability to not let others define you. It's a gift.
Wednesday Addams: Doesn't always feel that way.
Marilyn Thornhill: The most interesting plants grow in the shade.

Valerie Kinbott: Wednesday, Part of the reason your parents sent you to Nevermore is so you could find your people. Become part of a larger community.
Wednesday Addams: I like being an island. A well-fortified one surrounded by sharks.
This quote comes from a TV series ‘Wednesday’. The scene where this moment comes from is from Season 1 Episode 2, with the title of ‘Woe Is the Loneliest Number’
Enid Sinclair: I've tried really, really, really hard to be your friend. Always put myself out there. Thought of your feelings. Told people, "I know she gives off serial killer vibes, but she's really just shy.
Wednesday Addams: I never asked you to do that.
Enid Sinclair: You didn't have to because that's what friends do! They don't have to be asked. And the fact that you don't know that says everything. You want to be alone, Wednesday? Be alone."
-- Episode 6
Xavier Thorpe: You know what your problem is?
Wednesday Addams: I would love to hear your piercing insight.
Xavier Thorpe: You don’t know who your real friends are. I’ve been on your side since day one. I literally saved your life, I believed your theories when nobody else did, and what do I get in return? Just nothing but suspicion and lies.
Wednesday Addams: Fine. You want honesty? Here it is: Every time the monster's attacked, you've been right there. Starting with Rowan at the Harvest Festival. Then, on Outreach Day, you arrived just minutes after the monster disappeared, yet you say you didn't see it.
Xavier Thorpe: I didn't realize proximity was a crime.
Wednesday Addams: Then there's your drawing obsession. You have drawn the monster dozens of times, yet you've never seen it. Or so you claim. You even drew where it lived. Then, when Eugene went to investigate, you tried to kill him so he wouldn't spill your secret.
Xavier Thorpe: You think I would hurt Eugene?
Wednesday Addams: Let's not forget your oh-so-convenient appearance after Tyler had been attacked at the Gates mansion.
Xavier Thorpe: If I am the monster...then why haven't I killed you?
Wednesday Addams: [Hesitates] ...Because for some reason I cannot fathom or indulge, you seem to like me.
Xavier Thorpe: [coldly] What's to like?

Wednesday Addams Is the Ultimate Outcast -- Miyako Pleines
What is the Outcast Archetype? (Characteristics + Examples)
Early on, Wednesday reveals that she has psychic visions. So does her mother Morticia, although she is a "Dove" (with largely positive visions) while Wednesday is a "Raven" (with largely negative visions). Wednesday's visions started at age 15, and she's now 16; it's common for psychic abilties to manifest at puberty, both in entertainment and in magical communities.
Her visions strike without warning, sometimes but not always from touching a momentous object. They also resemble seizures -- unpleasant at best, dangerous at worst if she falls badly -- and in fact after one such incident, Enid asks Wednesday if she had a seizure. Often they disrupt what little she manages in the way of social interactions, making an already difficult situation even worse. Furthermore, the visions make Wednesday wonder if she is losing her mind. An ancestress, Goody Addams, appears as a ghost to help Wednesday solve mysteries and learn about her abilities, but they spend far more time talking about the mysteries than working to control the abilities. It's also possible that Wednesday's psychic nature helps her understand Thing, who communiticates primarily with signs and gestures, but Wednesday sounds like they're having very complex conversations.
She may even have a high-burn metabolism. First clue, she sometimes faints from a vision, which can happen if the body runs out of fuel due to a power surge. Second clue, she drinks quad coffee (four shots of espresso), which is 2-4 times what most humans drink, suggesting that she might burn through the caffeine faster and thus need a higher dose to get the same effect.
Wednesday: "I’m not about to confess to my brother that I’ve recently been plagued by visions. They come on without warning, and feel like electroshock therapy, but without the satisfying afterburn."
-- 31 Thought-provoking Quotes by Wednesday Addams (NETFLIX)
Morticia Addams: Our psychic ability resides on the spectrum of who we are. Given my disposition, my visions tend to be positive. That makes me a Dove.
Wednesday Addams: And for someone like me? Who sees the world through a darker lens?
Morticia Addams: You're a Raven. Your visions are more potent, more powerful. But without the proper training, they can lead to madness.

Wednesday Addams: I witnessed his murder, Enid.
Enid Sinclair: It's just, we all saw him this morning. Very much, like, not dead.
Wednesday Addams: I know. Which leads me to believe I've been losing my mind. It's not nearly as fun as I had anticipated.

'Wednesday': Here's the Deal With Wednesday's Visions
Wednesday is a feminist. She is ruthless in criticizing people who try to undermine her power, especially boys and men. In the first episode, she takes emasculation to a literal level by means of dropping piranha into a swimming pool with bullies, one of whom loses a testicle.
Wednesday also excels at self-defense. She knows a number of martial skills including archery, fencing, and hand-to-hand combat. She has no trouble taking on, and often defeating, opponents much larger than herself. She prefers to save herself rather than be rescued by someone else.
However, Wednesday learned a lot of that from her father Gomez. She credits him with teaching her not only physical strength but also strategy. Clearly they have a good relationship. She also protects Eugene Ottinger from seeing what happens to Marilyn Thornhill (born Laurel Gates) in Episode 8, flipping the usual roles of male and female characters. She doesn't hate males altogether ... just the stupid ones. It's gratifying to see that.
Some of it, Wednesday also got from her mother Morticia. In Episode 5, Morticia confronts then-Mayor Walker, formerly the sheriff, regarding his choice to ignore her complaints of stalking which ended up with Garrett Gates dead and Gomez accused of his murder.
Dr. Kinbott sighs sharply, “The point is, you assaulted a boy and showed no remorse for your actions. That’s why you’re here.” Wednesday simply retorts, “He lost a testicle. I did the world a favor. People like Dalton shouldn’t be allowed to procreate. I’ve answered all your questions.”

Wednesday Addams: The right way to flay a rattlesnake?
Gomez Addams: They really do taste like chicken when prepared properly.
Wednesday Addams: The point is, you taught me how to be strong and independent. How to navigate myself in a world full of treachery and prejudice. You are the reason I understand how imperative it is that I never lose sight of myself. So as far as fatherhood goes, I would say you've been more than adequate.
Gomez Addams: Gracias, Wednesday.
