    Character Evolution

    Like the other members of her family, in the original comic strip Wednesday does not have a name. Her creator, Charles Addams, didn't name her Wednesday until the strip was adapted for television. Her middle name is Friday., and she is traditionally depicted with her hair in long dark braids. Wednesday is a very serious child, who has a fascination with the darker side of life, and a morbid nature in general.
