This Wednesday theory could explain why Wednesday Addams’ werewolf roommate, Enid, behaves the way she does in Netflix’s smash-hit reboot series.

One Wednesday theory, should it prove accurate, could explain Enid’s personality and her struggles with being a young werewolf. Tim Burton has breathed new life into The Addams Family franchise, making Wednesday a smash hit for Netflix and proving that revamping old franchises can still be original. The overall production of Wednesday is consistently engaging and eerie, and when paired with an excellent cast and a captivating narrative, the result is a delightfully entertaining show.

Wednesday excels at developing its characters to make them interesting and layered. Everyone, from Wednesday Addams herself, to Principal Weems, matters to the audience. Nobody feels out of place or irrelevant to the narrative, which creates room for the type of speculative theorizing fans love to do. Wednesday’s success is due to Tim Burton’s past failures and the lessons he learned from them about character development. This werewolf theory could explain much about Wednesday Addams’s roommate, Enid, and further deepen Burton’s masterpiece.

Wednesday Theory: Enid Is Essentially A Werewolf Puppy

The idea is that Enid, being an adolescent werewolf, is still something akin to a puppy. As an underaged werewolf, it would make sense that Enid is not fully developed as a werewolf and is still unable to “wolf out” as a full-grown werewolf does. It would also make sense that only when Enid has grown and matured can she fully embrace herself as a werewolf.

When Enid does wolf out, it is used as a big coming-of-age moment for her, which is a theme in the series. Enid only wolfs out when Wednesday is in danger. She manages to save Wednesday, which feels like a massive moment of growth for her, even creating some speculation that Wednesday and Enid could become a couple. If she were essentially a puppy before wolfing out, it would make sense that this is the moment when she graduates from puppyhood and becomes a real werewolf.

How Enid’s Werewolf Form Explains Her Personality?

Enid’s werewolf form could also explain her bubbly, energetic personality. In many ways, Enid is the opposite of Wednesday. Enid is positive and full of joyful energy, whereas as Wednesday is full of scorn and skepticism. Enid’s constant loving energy is very puppy-like, and it would make a lot of sense if her energy and optimism go hand in hand with her essentially being a werewolf puppy.

Enid, much like a puppy, seems to want everyone to like her. Moreover, she seems to do her best to like everyone in return. The contrast between Wednesday and Enid only emphasizes Enid’s puppy-like tendencies. However, their chemistry onscreen is a huge part of Wednesday‘s success as a reboot. Enid’s werewolf form also maintains her personality by leaving a slash of pink in her fur, just like the pink dye in her human hair.

What Enid’s Full Werewolf Transformation Means For Wednesday Season 2

Enid’s complete transformation in Wednesday season 1 suggests that her character will be more mature in season 2 — wolfing out marks a rite of passage for Enid as she approaches adulthood and status as a full-grown werewolf. It could also mean that the coming-of-age theme that is central to the series could move a step forward. Wednesday and Enid will likely face the challenges of embracing their quickly approaching adulthood. Wednesday season 1 primarily focused on the events of adolescence that drive one to begin maturing, whereas season 2 may focus more on the subsequent process of growing up.

Wednesday‘s season 2 renewal has already created speculation about the show’s direction. Now that Enid is a full werewolf, she may make new friends with the other werewolves, possibly straining her friendship with Wednesday. Alternatively, it could cause other non-werewolf students to be warier of her, solidifying her as an outcast. Should that happen, she would likely become overly attached to Wednesday, which would undoubtedly drive Wednesday nuts. It is also possible, as mentioned earlier, that Wednesday and Enid develop a romantic relationship during Wednesday season 2.

Whatever direction Wednesday season 2 ends up taking, Enid will surely be an essential part of it. Now that she is a full werewolf, it will be fascinating to see what Burton decides to do with her. Wednesday season 2 could also confirm or reject this Enid puppy theory. However, it seems unlikely any specific answer will ever be provided. Whether Enid is a puppy or simply an adolescent girl, her role will be a joy to watch in the seasons to come.
