4. Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie)

Principal Larissa Weems (Gwendoline Christie) is one of the most interesting characters in Wednesday. Similar to Bianca, she is a good person who will do the right thing in the end, but who struggles when it comes to ethics. Ultimately, she is a fiercely protective woman who will do anything to protect her school and her students. A lot of times her actions don’t make sense to others as she constantly tries to hinder the investigation into the Hyde. However, manipulation and politics are how she prevents the school from breaking out into a panic or drawing too much attention to themselves. In the end, she proves that she really is a hero, and that she’s not afraid to make the kind of realistic and difficult decisions that heroes are sometimes tasked with.
