Agnes DeMille is one of the most fascinatingly ambitious and socially inventive characters in Netflix’s Wednesday. Portrayed by Andrea Anders, Agnes embodies the quick-witted extroverted intuition of an ENTP paired with the achievement-driven assertiveness of a 3w2, crafting elaborate schemes and intellectual puzzles to be “seen” and admired by Wednesday. Whether it’s building traps, inventing puzzles with obscure clues, or obsessing over how to forge a connection with her peers, Agnes’s blend of strategic cleverness, opportunistic charm, and emotional discovery marks her as one of the series’ most dynamic personality studies.

Extraverted Intuition

Ne is about ideas, possibilities, patterns, and “what if?” thinking. It jumps quickly from one concept to another and gets energized by novelty, cleverness, and mental stimulation.

Agnes has a clever mind that comes up with things in short order; she rigs up a trap in Wednesday’s room when stalking her to pique her interest with an assassination attempt. Rather than stick with one plan, she stacks up her ideas and uses them all, one after another. Then she comes up with an elaborate, abstract puzzle for Wednesday to solve, after kidnapping Enid and threatening her life. (Wednesday has to find the missing book in a library of titles, The Invisible Man, and type it into a typewriter to save her friend. The book reference is symbolic, indirect, and layered, using Ne to point to other ideas that hold weight for her.)

She has visualized being Wednesday’s cohort, and decides to make that happen with instant action. Whatever idea catches her fancy, she jumps on it, including going to a support group for severed appendages. When Wednesday acts strange, she becomes suspicious and eventually figures out that she and Enid have switched bodies (“I knew it!”) because she notices their behavioral inconsistencies and patterns.

Later, when she becomes “friends” with Wednesday, Agnes provides large amounts of information on the spot, including telling Enid that she has made a list of possible boyfriend prospects, based on Enid’s social interests and profiles, and that she can then spy on all of them while invisible to narrow them down to the best possible match. She is impulsive and opportunistic, climbing into the trunk of a car with a dead body and accompanying Tyler and his psychotic mother and uncle to the laboratory for their experiment. She finds it interesting and sees it needs done on the spot, so she does it rather than hesitate, since she wants to know where it leads.

Introverted Thinking

Rather than ask if doing things are right for her the way a Fi user would, Agnes asks if what she is doing makes sense, is clever, and consistent. She is detached, analytical, and brilliant. She reasons that if she wants Wednesday to like her, she needs to appeal to her intellect, so she does slightly crazy, rather immoral, and dangerous things without regard for the emotional impact it will have on Enid to attract her attention. This includes spying on her while invisible, rigging up traps in their room, kidnapping her and tying her up under a descending platform full of knives, and setting up an elaborate mystery for Wednesday to unravel. It has puns in it, obscure clues, secret passages, and a puzzle of “find the missing title.” Agnes expects that when she reveals she was behind these things that Wednesday will be so impressed with her brain, she will become instant friends. This is all a personal logical framework based on being smart. She expects to be admired for her intellect alone, showing her naivete about how human emotions work. Rather than emotionally reflecting when her tactics fail, she simply tries another approach.

When Wednesday rejects her, rather than that dissuading her, she becomes even more insistent on winning her over, with various tactics—helping her, emulating her appearance, spying for her, and competing with Enid. All of this shows an intelligent but emotionally immature ENTP, trying to figure out how to relate to people through logic rather than forming a genuine connection, but Agnes matures in the second half of season two and develops more of a personal attachment to both Wednesday and Enid, as a real friend. She treats relationships like logical problems to solve.

Extroverted Feeling

Rather than having an internal sense of her own values, Agnes is trying to locate herself by reflecting others’ behavior and gaze. This comes out the most strongly when she puts on a black wig and steals one of Wednesday’s school uniforms, saying that she decided to “up her game” if she wants to be friends with Wednesday.

When Wednesday has an angry reaction to being copied and brutally eviscerates Agnes verbally, she becomes emotional—but instantly turns to a support group for other people who don’t feel “seen,” rather than process her feelings on her own. It helps her to talk through them, to feel a sense of camaraderie with the other disembodied “freaks,” and to gain acceptance from the Head in the Jar. This is how lower Fe often works: it doesn’t fully understand or relate to its own feelings, but it grasps them through discussing or sharing them. This is Fe feeling emotions out through other people rather than with introspection.

Agnes has to learn to be her own person and express herself uniquely, but when she does, she feels freer. Early on, she is unaware of other people’s feelings except to bait and upset them; it makes her feel empowered to get an emotional reaction out of Enid, because that will prove to Wednesday that Agnes is superior (not “emotional” like Enid!).

Introverted Sensing

Agnes doesn’t show much attachment to tradition or detail-seeking, except in her obsession with a classmate. She does careful research to gather information about Wednesday and goes off those past behaviors to help her predict what will happen next and what would appeal to her. This is fixating on the details about one person and memorizing all that information. She also learns Enid’s dance routine in secret and reproduces it with only one mistake.

Subtle things planted in her schemes tie in to her experiences, such as The Invisible Man being the missing book, but also a clue to her identity and gifts.

The Enneagram 3

Agnes breaks down in the group because, she says, she just wants to be “seen” and feels like no one ever does. But part of the reason she goes unseen is that she is wearing someone else’s personality! She is uniquely weird and detached, but instead of seeing the value in that, she tries to become more like the person she most admires: Wednesday. She braids her hair in the same way, she ominously lurks, she tries to appeal to her with clever schemes, and even tries wearing her clothes!

Enid initially hates her guts, but when Agnes gets upset at being told off, softens and encourages her to embrace and find her own identity, which Agnes learns to do. We see a shift in her when she shows up wearing her hair how she likes it (down and curly) and wears bright colors. She wants to be the center of attention and gain approval; she eagerly dances with Enid and does it well, showing she has learned the routine in secret.

She is also assertive in going after what she wants without her feelings getting in the way, and appreciates being told by Uncle Fester how to sneak up on people without being heard (hey, it’s improving her craft!).

The 2 Wing

Agnes thinks she is doing what other people need, when in reality she’s being intrusive and sometimes creepy. She does things without being asked, because she has decided that is what she has to offer—including volunteering to run errands for Wednesday, coming up with a list of possible boyfriends for Enid, etc. 2s don’t just give you what you want; they decide what they are giving you, and need you to take it, as a validation for their support. In reality, Agnes is out of touch with what others need but unaware of it, and she has no ability to respect their boundaries. She doesn’t feel they apply to her, which is what happens with young 2s. They feel they are the best friend you could ever have, and of course you are going to love them, because they’re wonderful and just what you need!
