surprise, they develop a deep bond and friendship.

the truth of her background is much shadier.
[Yoko Tanaka]
(Supporting Female F 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. One of Nevermore's many international students. She's a vampire and her family are legendary members of the Tokyo underworld, the Yakuza. With her Gothic Harajuku styling and party-all-night vibe, Yoko's
definitely one of the cool kids and would seem to have nothing in common with Wednesday. But both share a love of the macabre and '80s Anime,
bonding them. She is also a member of The Nightshades and proves to be a useful ally when Wednesday must face her darkest hour.
[Eugene Ottley]
(Supporting Male M 13-15 (Any)

after falling victim to a Monster that is rampaging Jericho.
[Ajax "AJ" Petropolus]
(Supporting Male M 18-20 (Any))
16 years old. Of Greek royalty, his family has fallen on hard times. He is a direct descendant of Medusa on his mother's side. Hidden under his trademark beanie are a dozen snakes. Like many modern teens, Ajax suffers from crippling anxiety – as a result, his snakes are limp and have lost their power to petrify. He's a lot smarter than the clueless stoner-vibe he gives off.

40, with a distinctive European accent. Novak has only been at Nevermore for 18 months, but is already one of the most popular teachers on campus. Novak's the head of biology and is an expert in all things botanical. However,

[Principal Larissa Weems]

under her care. Weems grew up in Haiti – her mother was one of the island's most noted voodoo practitioners. Though popular with the student body, she has caused waves of dissent in the ranks of teachers and staff, who have bucked against her radical reforms.
