Despite her poor people skills, Wednesday has relationships with a bunch of other characters. None of these are what I'd call healthy, but some of them are quite strong. A key point is that she seems satisfied enough with most relationships that she doesn't feel driven to tinker with them. Others, she just wishes people would go away and leave her alone. However, notice that there's nobody at school she matches with, nobody with her kind of personality and interests. I'll come right out and say that Wednesday deserves people who like or love her for who she is, who enjoy the traits that other people bitch about. And I hope she doesn't settle for less. She doesn't seem like the settling type.

Bianca Barclay

Bianca Barclay is a siren, whose voice can enchant people into doing or feeling things that they otherwise would not. This makes her insecure about whether anyone really cares about her. She is also black, a nice touch on the tradition of mermaids and sea goddesses in Afro-Caribbean cultures. Enid Sinclair describes Bianca as "the closest thing Nevermore has to royalty" and Wednesday calls her a "self-appointed queen bee."
Bianca and Wednesday are largely rivals. However, the Rave'N dance includes a surprisingly long and insightful conversation between them about relationships and insecurities. Also in Episode 8, the two of them work together to bring down Joseph Crackstone. Bianca also has a fraught relationship with her mother Gabrielle, and the cult Morning Song Community, which may prove an important part of Season 2 later. There's enough tension here that if you ship Wednesday/Bianca, you've got some foundation in canon.

Bianca Barclay: Oh, you must be the psychopath they let in.
Wednesday Addams: You must be the self-appointed Queen Bee. Interesting thing about bees. Pull out their stingers, they drop dead.

Marilyn Thornhill: Wednesday, perhaps you can identify the ghost orchid's greatest qualities.
Wednesday Addams: Resilience and adaptability. It's able to thrive in even the most hostile environments.
Bianca Barclay: But its mere presence can change the ecosystem, causing the established plants to reject it.
Wednesday Addams: Usually because the native species is allowed to thrive unchecked. Nothing a Weedwacker couldn't fix.
Bianca Barclay: You can most certainly try.
Xavier Thorpe: Are we still talking about flowers?
Marilyn Thornhill: Thank you, ladies, for those illuminating insights. Clearly the plants aren't the only carnivores in class today.

Bianca Barclay: You're lucky.
Wednesday Addams: Do tell.

Wednesday Addams: Honestly, I wish I cared a little more.

Bianca Barclay: You don't know what it's like.
Wednesday Addams: Being beautiful and popular?
Bianca Barclay: Never knowing people's true feelings. If someone likes me for me.
Wednesday Addams: What about your amulet?
Bianca Barclay: It's not foolproof. It's a mild prophylactic, so to speak. That's why Xavier broke up with me. He could never fully trust me. The worst part is I could never trust his feelings either. I never knew if they were real or not.
