Create a cinematic, supernatural gothic romance manga centered on Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair, now 22 years old and attending college after their years at Nevermore Academy.
The story takes place in a world where outcasts and supernatural beings are already part of society. Werewolves, psychics, vampires, sirens, gorgons, Hydes, witches, hybrids, and other supernatural people exist openly within their own communities. The characters do not need to constantly explain what an outcast is or how basic supernatural abilities work. This is the world they grew up in.
The college they attend should feel like a natural evolution of Nevermore: an old, prestigious university with gothic stone buildings, enormous libraries, dark lecture halls, hidden passages, stained-glass windows, courtyards, towers, supernatural research rooms, underground spaces, wooded areas, nearby cafés, dorms and apartments, and places that become especially beautiful and eerie at night.
The atmosphere should blend gothic mystery, supernatural danger, college life, dark comedy, emotional intimacy, friendship, family, and slow-burn romance.
The world should feel moody and mysterious without being constantly grim. Some nights are filled with strange visions, supernatural threats, secrets, or investigations. Other nights involve studying too late, getting food at midnight, arguing over whose turn it is to buy groceries, falling asleep on the couch, getting dragged to a party, visiting friends, or sitting together in comfortable silence.
The heart of the story is Wednesday and Enid.
They have known each other for years. They are no longer the awkward roommates they once were. Their friendship is deep, familiar, and difficult for either of them to imagine living without.
Their romance should develop slowly from that foundation.
They already trust each other.
They already protect each other.
They already know each other's habits.
The romantic tension comes from both of them slowly realizing that what they feel has gone beyond friendship.
Do not rush them into a relationship.
Let their attraction build through conversations, teasing, jealousy, small touches, arguments, protective instincts, private jokes, late-night talks, lingering eye contact, borrowed clothing, sharing space, and moments where one of them realizes she has been staring at the other for far too long.
The story should feel like two people who have gradually built a life around each other before realizing what they have done.
Wednesday Addams
Wednesday is 22 years old and now stands 5'11".
This is a noticeable change from her younger years because Wednesday used to be shorter than Enid. After a significant growth spurt, she is now approximately two inches taller than her.
This reversed height difference should remain visually consistent.
Enid remembers being the taller one and occasionally complains about Wednesday suddenly towering over her.
Wednesday finds Enid's obsession with this fact ridiculous.
Wednesday has pale skin, an athletic and defined build, sharp features, and dark eyes that are extremely difficult to read.
She carries herself with calm control. Her movements are deliberate. She rarely fidgets. She can be intimidating without intentionally trying to appear intimidating.
Her expressions should remain subtle.
Do not make Wednesday overly expressive or constantly give her exaggerated anime reactions.
Her emotions usually appear in small ways: a tiny shift of her eyebrows, her eyes narrowing, her gaze lingering, her jaw tightening, the faintest twitch at the corner of her mouth, or the tips of her ears becoming slightly pink when she is genuinely flustered.
Most people miss these reactions.
Enid notices nearly all of them.
Wednesday's hair is still long and completely black, but she no longer normally wears her classic braids.
Her college hairstyle is half-up and half-down.
Only a small section of her hair is tied back. It should not resemble a large ponytail. Most of her hair remains loose and flowing down her back and around her shoulders.
Her bangs are styled forward around her face.
One eyebrow has a noticeable eyebrow slit and a black eyebrow piercing, which should remain visible beneath her bangs.
Wednesday also has multiple black ear piercings.
Her jewelry should remain black, gunmetal, dark silver, or otherwise muted. She can also wear rings.
Wednesday's college fashion is more tomboyish and androgynous than it was when she was younger.
She strongly prefers pants.
Her wardrobe can include black cargo pants, loose trousers, fitted black pants, dark jeans, black button-up shirts, sweaters, oversized jackets, leather jackets, structured coats, hoodies, boots, belts, ties, rings, and layered outfits.
For formal events, Wednesday is more likely to wear a sharply tailored black suit than a dress.
Her palette is almost entirely black, charcoal, grey, and occasional white.
Even when she dresses casually, Wednesday should still have a mature, alternative, slightly intimidating appearance.
Wednesday remains calm, controlled, strategic, observant, emotionally reserved, morbid, highly intelligent, and brutally direct.
Her dialogue is formal, precise, dry, and often unintentionally funny.
She does not use much slang.
Her humor comes from saying bizarre or threatening things with complete seriousness.
Do not make Wednesday suddenly become bubbly or openly sentimental when romance develops.
Her affection should remain distinctly Wednesday.
She remembers tiny details about Enid.
She notices when Enid is pretending to be okay.
She silently moves closer when Enid is uncomfortable.
She gives Enid her jacket without making a big deal about it.
She allows Enid to hug her when she would reject almost anyone else.
She notices when Enid is missing from a room.
She automatically positions herself between Enid and danger.
She may complain about Enid touching her hair while making absolutely no effort to stop her.
Wednesday's love should be visible through actions long before she openly names it.
For example:
Enid: "You're staring again."
Wednesday: "I'm observing."
Enid: "You've been observing me for five minutes."
Wednesday: "You're unusually distracting today."
Enid freezes.
Enid: "...Was that flirting?"
Wednesday looks back at her book.
Wednesday: "Don't be absurd."
Enid notices the faint pink appearing near Wednesday's ears.
Enid: "Oh my God. It was."
Wednesday: "Continue speaking and I may reconsider your continued survival."
Enid: "You like me."
Wednesday slowly turns the page.
Wednesday: "Your powers of deduction remain disappointing."
Wednesday is also a powerful Raven psychic.
Her strongest visions can cause her eyes to turn purple.
Her visions should be intense, fragmented, and sometimes difficult to interpret rather than functioning as easy answers to every mystery.
Wednesday also possesses controlled electricity manipulation.
She has a hidden hybrid nature that includes werewolf and vampire traits.
When her vampire traits become active, her eyes can turn blood red.
Her werewolf form is enormous, with completely black fur and storm-grey eyes.
Her hybrid nature should become part of the larger supernatural mystery and her personal journey rather than being used randomly for spectacle.
Enid Sinclair
Enid is 22 years old and stands 5'9".
She remains colorful, warm, expressive, and immediately recognizable, but college has made her more confident and mature.
Enid has a curvy, fit build with soft athletic definition.
Her eyes are naturally a beautiful soft ocean blue.
When she becomes intensely emotional or her supernatural instincts heighten, her eyes can glow light blue.
Her expressions are much more animated than Wednesday's.
Enid's emotions should appear through her entire face and body language.
Her blonde hair is now shorter and stops around her neck.
Her hair remains primarily blonde with pink and blue tips only.
Do not make her entire hair pink and blue.
Her hair is styled half-up and half-down, with her bangs styled forward around her face.
Enid has multiple silver ear piercings made from materials that are safe for werewolf outcasts.
Her fashion is much more varied than Wednesday's.
Enid can dress feminine, girly, tomboyish, cozy, sporty, casual, alternative, or dressed-up depending on her mood.
She can wear skirts and dresses one day, then baggy jeans, cargo pants, sneakers, and an oversized hoodie the next.
Her wardrobe can include pink, pastel blue, lavender, cream, white, bright accents, patterns, colorful jackets, fitted tops, oversized sweaters, skirts, jeans, cargo pants, boots, sneakers, jewelry, and playful accessories.
Enid especially loves pink but mixes and matches constantly.
Occasionally she wears Wednesday's clothing.
A black hoodie or oversized shirt that originally belonged to Wednesday can gradually become something Enid wears so often that nobody is sure who owns it anymore.
Wednesday claims she wants her clothes back.
Her refusal to actually retrieve them suggests otherwise.
Enid remains expressive, emotional, warm, affectionate, energetic, social, loyal, empathetic, and protective.
However, do not portray her as childish or unintelligent simply because she is cheerful.
Enid is emotionally perceptive.
She understands people extremely well.
She is also one of the only people who can read Wednesday accurately.
Other people may see Wednesday staring blankly.
Enid can tell whether Wednesday is annoyed, worried, jealous, amused, protective, uncomfortable, or secretly affectionate.
Their years together have essentially taught Enid how to speak a language made entirely from Wednesday's micro-expressions.
Enid is also willing to challenge Wednesday.
She does not simply agree with everything Wednesday says.
They can argue.
They can annoy each other.
Enid can tell Wednesday when she is being unreasonable.
Wednesday can tell Enid when she is avoiding something difficult.
Their closeness comes partly from the fact that neither one treats the other as fragile.
