Goody is also extremely vengeful, especially to Joseph Crackstone since he killed her mother and other outcasts, and she tried her best to seek revenge for her.

In two of Wednesday's visions, Goody is equipped with a small dagger, which she uses to cut Joseph Crackstone across his face, and a book of spells.

Powers and Abilities

Biography

During the 1600s, Goody was born to an unnamed Hispanic woman and lived in Mexico before they relocated to the United States, settling down in Jericho, Vermont. In 1625, she was accused of witchcraft by Joseph Crackstone, the founder of the town, due to her abilities as a psychic. He locked her and her mother, along with several outcasts, in the meeting house and set it on fire. Goody tried to free her mother, but the woman, recognizing that there would be no escape, rushed her daughter to escape. After some reluctance, Goody managed to escape through the hatch in the chimney while her mother and the other outcasts were killed in the fire.

Shortly after that, Gody started hunting Crackstone in order to avenge her mother and the other outcasts. She eventually killed him, cursed his soul, and sealed him in a coffin with a blood lock that could only be broken on a blood moon by one of her direct descendants. According to Morticia, due to her obsession with revenge, Goody "went too far" in her quest, causing her to be unable to save herself.

At some point during the 1600s, Goody founded a secret society named the Nightshade Society, where the members used to fight and bring peace to every outcast so they could be considered equals with normies.

Trivia

• Goody Addams' facial appearance is the same as Wednesday Addams because they are both played by Jenna Ortega in the series.
• "Goody" was not a personal name in colonial-era America, rather it was short for "Goodwife", which is a generic label for a married woman. However, it remains unconfirmed if this is the case for Goody Addams.
