Wednesday Addams
Just to be perfectly clear, I'm taking my idea of Wednesday Addams mostly from the original Chas Addams cartoons with only hints of the television show and the movies. This means that she has a very large supply of various weapons of mayhem just off-screen, access to a house full of ghoulies and other macabre and possibly deadly things and regards chaos and bloodshed alike with a pleasantly serene exterior. She wears a lot of black, doesn't so much dabble in the arcane as wallow in it, and regards 'normal' things with an air of mildly surprised puzzlement.
She comes from a place wherein you stash the corpses just because it's untidy to simply leave them lying about, not necessarily because you're afraid of being caught. Her idea of normal would be the tentacle monster in the bathroom, the gremlin infestation and the idea that blackmailing/torturing/maiming your classmates is nothing to raise eyebrows at.
So if she wanders around without exhibiting any surprise at the ghoulies, magic and mayhem, it's because she's used to it. High tech stuff, however, is going to confuse her to no end. She has a laptop, but other than the basics she has no idea what it's capable of.
I suspect she is going to completely horrify Mrs. Van de Kamp for, despite her somewhat bizarrely upper-class family and the large amounts of money at her disposal... her idea of party planning consists mostly of determining the rate at which the punch will eat through the crystal punch bowl and who should not be seated at the table with the cannibals.
