If you believed that Netflix’s Wednesday introduced you to every key character in the first season, you are certainly wrong. That’s because the new season discussed a character holding a crucial place in Wednesday’s universe. Some of you might have noticed Morticia talking about her sister ‘Ophelia,’ who didn’t make it to the series. So, aren’t you curious to know more about the mysterious character? If yes, here’s the answer for who is Ophelia in Wednesday and what role she will play in Wednesday Season 2.
Who Is Ophelia in Wednesday?
Ophelia is the maternal aunt of Wednesday Addams and the sister of Morticia. No one talked about her until the new season. When Morticia noticed the black tears flowing down Wednesday’s cheeks, she couldn’t resist talking about her sister. When Wednesday stated that after Goody, only her book could guide her, Morticia suggested that she could do that if her daughter wanted. To which, Wednesday suggested that Morticia is a Dove and she is a Raven; her mother said that she has experience with Ravens, so she knows very well how to handle things with them.
While talking to Wednesday, Morticia also revealed that during her time at Nevermore Academy, Ophelia was once found shouting, and black tears continued to flow from her eyes. She stated that these tears indicate that the psychic powers are being exhausted or overused. As the television series progressed, we learned that Ophelia had been missing for 20 years, and that’s the reason why Morticia grew distant from her mother. She somehow believed that their mother could have handled things better, and she shouldn’t have lost her sister.
Is Ophelia Dead in Wednesday?
No one really knows the answer to this question. The news that surfaced years ago stated that Ophelia mysteriously vanished one day. However, after Wednesday solved the mystery of the avian and her connection with the LOIS programme of the Willow Hill Hospital, she encountered several tortured outcasts locked up in the facility. So, there are chances that when Ophelia was going through all the problems in her teenage years, she was sent to the hospital. The possibilities also suggest that the lady whom Wednesday encountered at the end of the new season is Ophelia.
Additionally, if she is dead, we might get to see her replace Goody Addams and become the guiding force for our protagonist.
