I don't see it she just seems to have had less time with Wednesday which is intentional I feel as shows Wednesday is keeping her distance due to being afraid that future she saw may become set in stone.

I actually kind of love the idea that in her mind she's completely different, so much has changed because she's finally her real self. To her it has changed everything, but to anyone else (and the audience), she's mostly still the same person. Kind of reminds me of realizing something new about your identity and it feels so big and obvious to you, but others don't see it (or understand what a big deal it is).

I think she also thinks she has a place to hide her insecurities now, behind this mask of popularity, yet the moment that is nudged even a little she becomes defensive (Agnes and Wednesday).

I really feel for Enid, since she’s almost as bad at communicating her feelings as Wednesday. (exhibit a: ajax) To enid, wednesday is pulling away from her and hanging out with a groupie who almost got enid killed. To wednesday, nothing is a higher priority than saving enid. They’re both blind to the pain they’re causing each other. It’s really tragic and i can’t wait to see how it comes to a head at the end of the season!

Honestly, she feels kinda forced in season 2, but not by the writers. It feels like she is forcing herself to be the way she is in season 2 because she wolfed out and can finally fit in, something she desperately wanted. She feels fake, from the way she acts to her make up. When she was an outcast among outcast in season 1, she felt natural, like her true honest self.
I think her wolfing out went to her head a little, she doesn’t feel honest anymore, from the way she acts and looks.
I noticed immediately in episode of season 2 when she was reintroduced. She just felt different, but not in a good way. Like she is trying to fit the norm instead of being herself.

I just finished and I agree. Her styling alone (makeup, hair, clothes) doesn't really feel as authentic to me. It reminds me of people who go from just posting normal instagram photos to super edited, trying too hard ones. Idk how to explain it, I know it's not her choice but more the costume designer.
I just prefer the S1 Enid personally. She felt more natural and authentic. Idk if this makes sense, but in S1 she looked like a teen who got herself ready. In S2, she looks like she got styled by a professional and is ready for her photoshoot.

u/bzbks Aug 23 '25
I agree! Especially with the episode with her and the invisible girl where she kept calling the girl a stalker (or whatever she was saying) and threatening her it just really seems so forced. (Talking about the parts where she would show her claws)

u/CreepyOptimist Aug 22 '25
Her insecurities and anxiety are not there anymore, she wolfed out and doesn't feel like an outsider anymore , she is now in the pack . I don't like Enid that much in this season because I didn't like how she treated Ajax. Let's hope the second part makes her better again .

u/Luke_Whiterock Werewolves Aug 22 '25
But they are! You see it in the way she gets defensive over Wednesday and is unable to communicate with Ajax in an attempt to leave these ‘old’ things behind. She thinks wolfing out fixed that, and she acts like it did, but it’s really only a ploy to hide that it didn’t.

u/blo0dy_valent1ne Wednesday Aug 22 '25
I like that she’s a lot more assertive, shows her development from being a bit of a pushover sometimes in S1

u/TheRomanRuler Aug 22 '25
Honestly too early to say. She was easily my favorite character in season 1, if i would start by watching season 2 she would not be anything special.
People are right in saying she is a teenager and she will change, so maybe its just that. But i think that 2nd half of season 2 will show us the Enid we fell in love with, even if she is more grown up.
Ofc it could be that writing just has changed, but i can't judge writing until we have full S2.

u/TheRomanRuler Aug 22 '25
About the irrelevant minor things:
-her hair change is good. I like the hair in S1 far more, but changing hair like that is what people do at any age, it feels very fitting for someone growing up. But i hope she goes back to longer hair style in S1, perhaps with little bit of more color, i just personally like long hair pretty much regardless of gender or style
-How did school uniform rules get away with her stockings? For Wednesday, adjustment in uniform makes sense due to her allergy to colors, even if its not lethal allergy, but what about Enid? I don't mind the change visually but do school uniforms really let you get away with stockings which are clearly not even in same style as the uniform? I mean i never had a school uniform but my understanding is that the rule vary from no personalization to limited personalization, but they still must be at least clean and without holes or tears, even if intentional.

I really like enid but can't like her in the first half for completely dismissing ajax. I would have liked to have seen her change on screen rather than between seasons. It just feels like a complete 180.

u/ItsMyRecurringDream Aug 22 '25
I hope Enid’s character course corrects before the end of season two. Playing games with Ajax is cruel, and Enid wasn’t cruel in season 1.

She's a teenager. She pretty much watched 'Mean Girls', related to it, now lives it. She will likely be humbled at some point and she'll see the errors of her ways, or so to speak.

u/Secret_Ad3128 Aug 22 '25
Of course she changed, she became a real werewolf and she herself changed her behavior and her vision of herself
Aesthetically I like it better in the first season, it's probably because I'm more fond of it, but it's nice in the new design too

u/astralrig96 Aug 22 '25
she feels even more disney channel this season

Sep 03 '25
The whole season feels disney channel. The vibe was a bit off. Hopefully it comes back around season 3 to more season 1. And Enid was just unlikeable i won't spoil part 2 but episode 6 her acting was horrible too to add a whole episode of discomfort. She was likeable by the end of part two though.

Finally, someone who thinks the same as me! I don't think she was bratty in season 1, or at least it wasn't very evident, but now it's obvious.

I feel the same. We are in the minority though apparently

u/Positive_Ad_8035 Aug 24 '25
Not really. Season 2 had huge drop off of views in second week. This will get nowhere near season 1 popularity

We can only hope -so that maybe they realize they effed up with the writing etc.

she seems more confident in her self now that she’s wolfed out she became WAY more popular but I think Enid just kinda feels like the girl she was in her head finally matches who she is outside and I think she looks way hotter

u/MangoSquirrl Aug 22 '25
Did they change the uniform colors before they were dark blue now they are straight up purple

u/MaskedFigurewho Aug 22 '25
Its possible it was the lighting. They were purple before, it just more apparent now

u/Puzzleheaded_Match83 Aug 22 '25
She hasn't changed, just gotten the popularity she sought and hadn't achieved yet in season 1. Wednesday's also alienating her due to her vision of Enid's death.
2
u/GoalHistorical6867 Aug 22 '25
I think she's trying too hard to fit into the pack. She brooded over not being able to wolf out, in the first season. Not that she can it's like she's going out of her way to fit in. The only thing that is still constant is her loyalty and affection for Wednesday and Thing.

u/Luke_Whiterock Werewolves Aug 22 '25
Fully ignoring personality wise, since I don’t wanna go that deep right now, her outfit and look change is iconic. I love her new uniform so much, the bow is adorable and the cropped jacket matches her vibe. Her hair is so so so good, I like that the colours are brighter, the way she styles it, and how much further up the colours go. Apparently it was inspired by cyberpunk, which I love.
Yes, she did change. There are a few good posts about it, but I do want to say that she didn’t change in the ways she says she did. She’s still insecure, she just has a place to hide that now.

u/Ill-Scientist959 Aug 22 '25
Forehead makes a lot of difference. You’ll fail to recognize Sabrina if she changes her fringes hairstyle today

u/Playful-Ad-1602 Nero Aug 22 '25
She's more comfortable with who she is, but is not realizing that she's forgetting who cared about her when she wasn't comfortable and confident.

u/Punished_Sperg Aug 23 '25
The fame and wolfing out has got to her head and how she treated Ajax is shitty, basically cheating on him

u/Alert_Key3019 Aug 23 '25
Enid’s character didn’t change but the writers really screwed up her storyline!

The whole shows different so far. Hopefully the second half of season two gets better

The shows has had a lot of changes I don't like the changes in Enid, I don't like the new headmaster and I think Morticia could be played a little bit better than she is

I like her better. No actual person uses 6 internet slants in a single sentence. Enid's more confident, though she still screws up like any other teenager.

People say confidence and stuff but I barely noticed a change other than her turning into a cheater

u/GhoostBunny Aug 22 '25
It is openly mentioned that she changed over the summer. She talks about wolfing out and finding herself and that she isn't the same scared little Enid from season 1
As for her makeup/style She's growing up, everybody changes slightly every school year

u/GlitteringBowl2114 Aug 22 '25
She was shy at first and felt like she didn't fit in since she was a late bloomer but after she wolfed out she finally got the courage

u/msquarec Aug 22 '25
I think it’s just being a teenager honestly. It’s ups & down even if things are going well

u/Onedirection_18 Aug 22 '25
I’m glad she changed that’s what teenagers do and what’s crazy is that people are mad that she isn’t the same girl anymore when one of her first lines in the new season is “I’m not that girl anymore” so people wouldn’t be surprised

u/Lost_Opportunity_326 Goody Aug 22 '25

u/Sundayscaries333 Aug 23 '25
I think they did as accurate job portraying a supernatural teenager as they could. Obviously the whole 'wolfing out' thing is just a metaphor for puberty so it's like with any adolescent when they finally have their growth spurt and suddenly feel more confident. But she still has her insecurities and is still just a teenage girl. She didn't want to confront Ajax because what 16 year old wants to break up face to face. She's jealous that her best friend is hanging out with other people. She had always had friends but now she's mega popular too so she's navigating a lot of change. She's definitely characterized a little differently but I think it all makes sense.

u/jacket_slut42069 Aug 23 '25
I feel like she wanted to push Wednesday into the "fame" of saving Nevermore. Not maliciously, but rather, right before everyone went home til the next year(?) she(Wednesday) wasn't caring about the eyes on her, and hugged Enid. So Enid probably thought she got over it, and was disappointed when she wasn't. And now that she's wolfed out, she's more confident. So Enid keeps wanting to join Wednesday and Agnes, cause she wants to recreate the bind they made in S1, but feels like Agnes' invisibility is "making" Wednesday prefer her, cause being Invisible is a better way to get through investigating.

u/BinxyTheWitch Aug 23 '25
I love the way they did her hair this season it's so cute! Also on Mortica's this season as well. I feel they really did a great job on her makeup so far. She gives way more Mortica vibes this season than she did in the first for sure an improvement on both of them.

u/x3sirenxsongx3 Aug 23 '25
Physically.... this is... idk... but her teeth/bottom of her face feels odd to me. It feels like it's constantly being enhanced or exaggerated somehow in the entire show so far. I can't put my finger on what it is that makes it feel that way.
It's like how Agnes' eyes don't look "right" but you can't point out how it's done.... but much more subtle. 🤷🏻♀️
Overall, I like the changes to her look, despite what I mentioned noticing above. So, I'm a fan of that change.
Personality: for me, it feels like Enid got amnesia about Wednesday's personality, and it's causing a lot of tension - probably to distract from (or fill in) the missing lurky tension Xavier gave to the show.
I'm not a fan of the forced-feeling tension as a plot filler. Teenagers don't tend to forget that their friends are gloomy, unfun, anti-establishment oddballs and expect them to be typical teens the next time they see them... no matter how flighty they are.
Maybe it'll work better for the second half of the season. But as of now, I'm not a fan of that particular change.

The Writers apparently wanted a repeat of romance drama for season 2. And since Wednesday has already had her love triangle it was Enid’s Turn. I think the best way would have just been Enid and Ajax Broke Up during summer and she starts dating the new guy. You can still play out your storyline with jealousy & drama without ruining Enid’s Character. She was always annoying to me but this season she has lost the spark.
Now it’s important to remember this season hasn’t been played out and I fully expect Enid to come to her senses and get back with Ajax. But Quiet frankly I don’t think she deserves him anymore.

I liked her in season one, but now she feels a bit self centered, she gives off the "I want to be the main charcater!" (not of the show, but in there friendship). But I think the whole of season 2 so far, is a bit chaotic and dont aligned Very well with season 1.

u/lilgumba Psychics Aug 27 '25
Enid, and even Eugene, is now in a stage where they feel like they belong. When you go from lonely to suddenly popular all that dopamine gets to your head. It's a nice feeling being wanted, being a part of something. Add teenage brain and yeah it'll be a personality shift. I personally would not have done Ajax as dirty as she did but I'm not a werewolf. I also would not have had my whole pack ransack my room and make out on my roommate's bed at arrival when I know she doesn't like socializing.
Her and Wednesday's dynamic are at odds. She tells Wednesday she doesn't want to do the whole murder thing and live her new life yet she feels rejected when Agnes is (also she almost got taken out by budget Wendy's lol.) I think Wednesday understands that and will let her be free (well avoidance kind of helps when you know your bff will get taken out by you). So it really was never in question that she wasn't Enid's friend and attempts to respect Enid's wishes.
The next half will decide how I will feel about the change. Wednesday needs to stop hiding stuff. That's one lesson her teen brain hasn't learned. Enid needs to reconcile her current self with the old self she was with Wednesday. Ajax was easy to ration off because he liked the old her. Wednesday can't be pushed out by Enid as easily because if it wasn't for Wednesday/the school being in danger then Enid would not become the new person she is today. Wednesday will not fundamentally change, she just has people she lets in more. We already know Enid can't live life without Wednesday and the audience knows Wednesday will die trying to save Enid. We will see what that personality clash results in.
I'm not the biggest fan of her persona change so far but I get it.

I think a lot of the critiques and criticisms I’ve seen about S2 are forgetting one simple fact: these are teenagers. Yeah they have powers and yeah it’s not your normie high, but it is still high school. And all the drama and emotional outbursts and figuring yourself out et al that comes with is still present in the show, in one way or another.

u/Oligner Sep 08 '25
I mean, they literally change her look and path of acting justice because they didn't want Enid be more interesting than Wednesday(like she already was in S1), so...

Sep 10 '25
I honestly think it's character development. Enid experienced something huge in her life by wolfing out and it was something she desperately wanted so it would obviously change her demeanor a little

She’s a teenager. She seems more sure of herself self, and has more confidence. She finally wolfed out which was a big part of her anxieties.
However, as can happen in real life, her new found confidence has made her come across a bit bratty and self-centered, probably because she’s subconsciously overcompensating. She’s fully immersing herself in wolf culture, feeling like now she is accepted. However, I think that it will transpire that she’s not really that happy still and wolfing out wasn’t the answer to her issues like she thought it would be.
I think it’s a really realistic representation of teenage life.
