In Netflix’s Wednesday, Enid Sinclair Is The Perfect BFF
Enid is the multi-colored antithesis to Wednesday. While Wednesday is stoic and cynical, Enid is giggly and upbeat. Wednesday sees social media as “a soul-sucking void of meaningless affirmation,” but Enid runs her own Perez Hilton-style gossip blog, shops at stores unironically called “Hawte Kewture,” and knits matching snoods for herself and Wednesday. And, she’s also dying to become BFFs with Wednesday, whether or not Wednesday wants to.
For Emma Myers, who plays Enid, a character like Enid is important to have, especially in such a tonally dark show like, specifically because the series is meant to highlight and showcase a variety of types of people. “If you just had one sort of [person] in the show, not many people are going to be able to relate to it,” she tells Refinery29. “So I really like that she’s kind of a comic relief; she's very bright and bubbly, and I like the contrast between her and Wednesday.
While many viewers may not be able to directly relate to *every* aspect of Enid, like the fact that she’s actually a wolf, her optimism is a great foil to our antagonistic protagonist — like when she invites one of the local townspeople to the winter dance — regardless of whether or not it works out for her in the end. She’s trusting, and it’s this difference between the two characters, and eventually friends, that draws them to each other.They can both teach each other very important lessons.
As for what Enid teaches Wednesday? That becomes clear towards the end of the first season, when the pair have a particularly tense confrontation in their dorm room. On the hunt to find out who — or what — is terrorizing the residents of Jericho, Wednesday drags Enid and her love interest Tyler to an old abandoned house.
“Enid just wants to show Wednesday that she can feel emotions and still be a cool, strong person,” Myers says. Which is a lesson everyone can learn from.
