Description

Addison Rosalind Wells is the female protagonist of Disney's Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise. She is the captain of the cheer squad at Seabrook High. She is the daughter of Missy Wells also known as A-Mishant, the current Mayor of Seabrook and Dale Wells, the Chief of the Zombie Patrol. Addison appears in Z-O-M-B-I-E-S, Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 and Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3. She is portrayed by Meg Donnelly. ## Personality Background Early Life Not much of her past is known, except for what is told to us from Addison herself and what was shown, implied, or hinted at in the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 film. She was born sometime in 2003-2004 in Seabrook to A-Mishanta and Dale Wells. When Addison was born, she appeared with natural white hair but didn't know why this was the case for a long time but found out that she has an alien heritage. Due to having no contact with her people at the time, her hair lost its color. But at that time, the doctors had no idea why her hair was white. The doctors thought she might have a disease or something. Addison started wearing a blonde wig to hide her real hair because she couldn't dye it or anything. She had to wear a wig per her parents' orders so that the citizens of Seabrook wouldn't make fun of her or be prejudiced against Addison because of her natural hair color. Addison also mentioned that Dale and Missy have had her in cheer camp "forever" and wanted to be a member of the cheer squad as a result. Personality Addison is an inclusive, kind, and optimistic half-human/half-alien[1] cheerleader who falls in love with a zombie, Zed. She seems to have a rocky relationship with her family. In the first movie, she mostly keeps to herself so that she doesn't stand out. She doesn't like the idea of her being "different," and she's very self-conscious, especially with her hair. The more time she spends with the zombies (especially Zed) however, she starts to stop caring about what others think of her. She stands up for what's right when it matters and she is described as a leader. She can bring people together to do the right thing. Physical Appearance She currently has blue hair (which used to be white and she hid it under a blonde wig) and has pale blue eyes that sparkle. Addison has fair skin and always seems to wear sneakers, several tops, a skirt, and bright colors but she sometimes wears shorts, pants, jackets, or dresses. In ZOMBIES: Addison's Moonstone Mystery, the series of animated shorts, she wears her werewolf clothing, but for the second half she wears her cheerleader outfit. In Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3, she wears alien clothing at the end, when it's revealed that she is an alien. As of the Z-O-M-B-I-E-S: The Re-Animated Series Shorts and possibly the television series, she appears to wear regular human clothes again. Additionally, she has her white hair, now with blue streaks tied into a ponytail. Biography Z-O-M-B-I-E-S Addison is first seen in her room, practicing cheering in front of a large mirror. She reveals that she has to hide her real hair under a blonde wig thus she has a hard time fitting into the community of Seabrook. Addison starts off her first day of school with a healthy breakfast. She is in her kitchen eating a bowl of fruit and has a glass of water. Her parents are also in the kitchen talking about how excited they are about cheer tryouts. They are very supportive of her with sports. Her dad is the chief of the “Zombie Patrol” as he is seen with a pin that states that. Her mom is being re-elected for mayor, so Addison must make the cheer squad. They tell that nothing will stop her as long as she keeps her wig on. Once she arrives at Seabrook High, she is super excited about the school year. Her cousin and captain of the cheer squad, Bucky, and his co-captains, Stacey, Lacey, and Tracey, also known as the Aceys, tell her that they can't let zombies change the way things are in town. Addison admits that they're just going to school like the humans Bucky admonishes that zombies are nothing like humans and reminds her that they tried to kill their grandfather, even though Addison admits that it was just a "small bite." There she meets another cheer hopeful, Bree and they bond over their love for cheer. The Z-Alarm suddenly goes off as someone spots a zombie in the halls, Addison tries to calm an anxious Bree down by showing her the Zombie Safe Room and that it'll be alright. Bree runs away screaming from her, due to Bree seeing one when Addison had her back turned. Addison decides to go into the room herself, only to find out that she's not alone, a boy is inside as well. The two of them begin a friendly conversation about their goals for the school year and the boy introduces himself as Zed. After Addison introduces herself, the lights turn on, and is shocked to find out that Zed is a zombie. Horrified, Addison punches Zed in the face, only to find him in pain. Addison immediately apologizes explaining that her parents always taught her that zombies are "Disgusting dead-eyed freaks" but as she looks at Zed, she becomes mesmerized by how cute he is and tells him that he's "not hideous at all" and explains her family's hatred towards zombies as one bit her grandfather's ear off years prior. Their moment is interrupted as Bucky and the Acey's barge into the room and Bucky reveals to Zed that Addison is his cousin and threatens him to stay away from her as he forces her out of the room. At cheer tryouts, Addison succeeds in making the team and even convinces Bucky to add Bree to the team as a stand-in. Later that night, Bucky takes the cheer squad to Zombietown for the cheer initiation. Addison and Bree are among them and Addison becomes amazed at the neighborhood's creative skills. Her cousin gives her a carton of eggs and tells her and Bree to egg one of the zombie's houses to make them official. She and Bree refuse and Bucky and the others unintentionally ditch the duo when they get spooked by a zombie who tries to help them. Addison and Bree hide and the noise causes a zombie to see what's happening Addison is stunned to find out the zombie house she was assigned to was Zed's house. Zed's father asks what going on and Zed lies and says that no one's there. He then gives Addison a disappointed look as he heads back inside. This causes Addison and Bree to see how zombies are being treated by humans and they both leave Zombietown, with Addison throwing the carton of eggs into the trash. The next day, she confronts her cousin about his treatment of zombies and that bullying them isn't right. Unfortunately, Bucky tells her not to question things. Shortly after, Addison follows the zombies to the basement and sees that this is how they are attending school and admits that it's awful. She apologizes to a heartbroken Zed and reassures him that Bucky will not see them talking. Addison invites him and the other zombies to the pep rally later today, however, one zombie sarcastically tells her that zombies don't do pep rallies. Zed reassures Addison that they'll think about it and Addison leaves with a smile on her face. While getting ready for the pep rally, Addison becomes convinced that Zed won't come, thinking that the zombies attending would cause serious drama. However, she becomes excited when Bree announces that there are zombies at the pep rally. Addison rushes over and is happy that they accepted her invitation and is really happy that Zed came. However, when she hears Bucky command the Aceys to get the "spirit sticks", she looks up with concern. The pep rally goes well until Bucky and the squad bring out the "spirit sticks", which are sparklers, using them to scare zombies, due to their fear of fire. One zombie gets terrified and runs out of the bleachers just as Addison gets tossed in the air for a trick. This causes the member who launched her to scatter away, leaving Addison headed to being severely injured. However, to Addison's surprise, she is caught and saved by Zed.[2] Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 2 Addison's journey in Z2 was a bit disappointing for her. She thought she was the Great Alpha but she ended up being wrong. She just wanted to fit in somewhere. But, the wolves still love her and allow her to keep the moonstone necklace they gave her.[3] But she did learn she might not entirely be human. Addison's Moonstone Mystery In Moonstone Mystery, Addison meets a girl named Vanna and immediately goes up to her and introduces herself. They quickly became friends and she invited Vanna to the cheer tryouts. Addison then gets into a small brawl with Willa who has suspicions of Vanna. After the kerfuffle, Vanna shows up and does a flip, then lands in Zed and Addison's arms, causing an earthquake. Willa blames Vanna for the earthquake, but Addison comes in and says that they're all on the same team and puts Vanna on the squad. Her friends, Willa, Wyatt, and Wynter, however, bow out (pun intended). Addison tells Vanna she's still trying to find where she belongs, to which Vanna says she'd fit right in with her family. The next day, Addison comes into the hall and sees that her friends are acting really weird and asks Zed what's going on, however, he's under the spell too and Addison begins to stress out. Willa then comes in, who hasn't been put under the spell yet, and tells her about the legends of Seabrook and a secret cave hidden in the Wolf Den that could be opened if the Moonstone and a "V" shaped crystal connected. Addison pieces the facts together and learns that Vanna is a vampire. Vanna tells her and Willa that she hypnotized her friends, to which Addison says that wasn't right. Vanna agrees because she found out where the secret cave that she tried to have her friends find, as Willa read that part aloud. Vanna then transforms into a bat and takes Willa with her. Zed and Eliza show up and Addison de-hypnotizes them and questions if she could be a vampire after Eliza asks how she did it, but Zed assures her she's nothing like her. They then make a plan to stop Vanna from waking the den, which would set loose a ton of vampires into Seabrook. Later, Addison, Zed, and Eliza find that the wolves are already under Vanna's spell. Vanna then opens up the cave, but before the gang can get through, it closes. After convincing Zed, Addison uses her moonstone necklace to reopen the cave entrance. Vanna tries out every moonstone the wolves have to awaken her family, but they all fail. Vanna then hypnotizes Zed and Eliza again and tells her she's too late. Vanna then tries to hypnotize Addison, but it doesn't work and she's really infuriated, as no one has been immune to her powers before, and asks Addison what she is. Addison says she doesn't know, to which they get physical with each other. Addison eventually manages to swipe Vanna's V-Crystal from her tells her it's over and de-hypnotizes everyone. Addison then helps Vanna wake up her family, even though Wynter and Wyatt told her not to, by connecting all three main power sources, the Z-Band, the moonstone, and the v-crystal. They all unite in the end and all participate in the pep rally. Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 3 She finally discovers her true self as an alien. But when she finds out, the aliens won't accept her because they claim she doesn't have their spark and she already has a lot on her plate with wanting Zed to get in the same collage as her, so they can stay together. Eventually, she and everyone else realize that she is a true alien, she gets her powers and her hair turns blue. She also finds out her mom was wearing a wig the whole time too because she's an alien as well. Addison eventually chooses to go with the aliens (essentially forever) to get them to their new home. She's sad of course for having to say goodbye to her loved ones, especially Zed, but she says it's the right thing to do for her people. A few days after she left, Addison realizes the perfect place to live is Seabrook so she turns the ship around and leads her people to their new home. Addison reunites with her loved ones and shares a kiss with a very happy Zed. She then sings one last group song (Nothing But Love) before the movie comes to an end.[1] Powers and Abilities Powers Addison has a variety of powers that she's inherited from her alien heritage.

Addison is caught staring at him from across the cafeteria by Bree who asks if she’s okay. Addison says that her heart is racing and her palms are sweaty and says it’s because of Zed. Addison freaks out because she realizes she has a crush on a zombie. Zed then calls out to her from his table and waves to her, which shocks everyone, but goes unnoticed by Addison as she walks over. She tries to talk to him in a zombie's tongue but ultimately butchers the attempt, much to Zed’s amusement. However, the Aceys drag her away and tell her that talking to the zombies will get her sent to the reject table. Heartbroken, Addison leaves the cafeteria. Zed follows her into the hallway and hands her the flower Bonzo had made for her. Addison apologizes for not being able to sit with him and his friends at lunch and thanks him for saving her at the pep rally.

It’s implied that the two tell each other “I love you” in Zombie Tongue, “Gar Gargiza,” At the end of the movie, they are finally allowed to be together. In Zombies 2, they go through some problems mostly because Zed does not want Addison to be a wolf since he doesn't want her to go through the judgment he had as well that he knew that it wasn't who she really is, but they eventually make up and share their first kiss at the Prawn (Seabrook's prom) In Zombies 3, he supports and loves that she's not human and is an alien.

Willa eventually came to terms and told Addison she would always be a part of their pack too. Wyatt Lykensen (friend) He thought Addison was the Alpha in Z2, he was wrong but still loves Addison as a friend. Wynter Barkowitz (friend) They have a solid friendship. Trivia Addison is the only character who sings in every song in the first Zombies film. She had to wear a blonde wig most of her life, due to her strange white hair. She has been into cheerleading since she was a child. Zed is the first zombie she meets in person after the zombies are integrated into Seabrook High School. Willa is the first werewolf she saw in the Forbidden Forest. Her middle name is Rosalind as confirmed in Z3. She knows a little bit of zombie tongue. In Z1, Addison learned some zombie tongue when she looked it up on the Internet, which meant that she knew how to use electronics. She was initially kicked off the cheer squad but was put on the squad again (along with Bree) between the first two films. In Z2, Addison is convinced that she is a werewolf, but it turns out not to be true. At the end of Zombies 2, her hair glows a luminescent blue color when a comet passes outside her window, revealing that she has a connection to it. In Addison's Moonstone Mystery, it is revealed that she is immune to vampire hypnotism, the reason for that is because she’s half-alien and it doesn’t affect them. At the dance in the Zombies 2, she earns the cheerleading captain jacket. In Zombies 2, Addison slightly foreshadows Zombies 3 by saying her hair could be from a grandparent. The last name Wells means "spring" or "stream," referring to her nature specifically. Her last name was confirmed once again in Zombies 3. It was previously revealed on the packaging for some official Zombies 2 Addison doll figures.
