What Your Favorite Stranger Things Character Says About You

That character you're most drawn to? They're practically your personality doppelgänger.

Eleven

If Eleven, played with both ferocity and vulnerability by Millie Bobby Brown, has won over your heart, there's a lot that says about you. Her character, essentially a child lab experiment with psychokinetic abilities, has been through the wringer. Remember when we first met Eleven? That shaved-head girl with a number for a name was a mystery wrapped in a hospital gown.

She was escaping a government lab, finding solace in Mike's basement. Your love for Millie Bobby Brown's character shows your empathy for the underdog and admiration for resilience. Like her, you probably form deep connections with others, cherish them, and are not afraid to throw a psychic punch or two for your friends.

Mike Wheeler

Mike Wheeler, portrayed by Finn Wolfhard, is the definition of the 'ride or die' friend. As the Dungeon Master of the group, he's the unofficial leader, the one who takes charge when Will goes missing, and is the first to trust Eleven. When Mike jumps off a cliff to save Dustin, he's not just being dramatic; he's showing his loyalty and leadership.

If you see a bit of yourself in Mike, it's because you're probably the friend who sends out the search party when someone goes AWOL from the group chat. Your loyalty is unwavering, much like Mike's, and you're always ready to go the extra mile – or cliff jump – for those you care about.

Dustin Henderson

Dustin Henderson, the curly-haired bundle of joy and smarts, is brought to life by Gaten Matarazzo. With his collection of hats and a pet demogorgon named Dart, Dustin is the glue of the group. His quick wit and tech skills come in handy, whether he's decoding Russian transmissions or building cerebro to communicate with Suzie. He's the one cracking jokes when demogorgons are chasing, but he's also the peacemaker, like when he reconciles Mike and Lucas. If Dustin's your guy, you're likely known for your humor and smarts, using both to diffuse tension and solve problems.

Lucas Sinclair

Caleb McLaughlin's Lucas Sinclair is the squad's skeptic and strategist. He's the guy who was suspicious of Eleven but then throws himself into action to save his friends, whether by wielding a slingshot or setting up ghost traps. Lucas's character evolves from skeptic to action-taker without losing his essence.

His practicality and strong moral compass are qualities that you might see in yourself. If Lucas is your favorite, it might be because you're the person who asks the hard questions and stands firm in your convictions, especially when it involves protecting your friends from Russian spies or interdimensional creatures.

Will Byers

Will Byers, the boy who vanished, is brought to life with a touching sensitivity by Noah Schnapp. From communicating with Christmas lights from the Upside Down to facing possession by the Mind Flayer, Will's journey is a rough one. His sensitivity and creative mind are his strengths, helping his friends more than once.

Fans of Will are likely to be the empathetic, intuitive type, maybe a bit artsy, and definitely the kind of person who'd notice when someone's "not feeling like themselves". If you're on Team Will, you're probably the person who hangs back at parties, but always notices when someone needs a rescue from an awkward conversation.

Max Mayfield

Max, the skater girl with a tough exterior, played by Sadie Sink, zooms into the scene as a breath of fresh air, challenging the dynamics of the boy-centric group. Her storyline—dealing with a difficult family life and later facing the Mind Flayer—shows her strength and fierce independence.

Max's love for skateboarding and video games isn't just cool; it's a statement of her refusal to fit into preconceived boxes. If you gravitate towards Max, you're probably someone who prides yourself on your independence and toughness. You're not afraid to call out BS and you stand up for what you believe in, much like Max does when she stands against Billy or comforts Eleven through a heartbreak.

Jim Hopper

Chief Hopper, the gruff exterior with a marshmallow center, is brought to life by David Harbour. Hopper's journey from a disillusioned small-town cop to a father figure for Eleven and a hero of Hawkins is deeply moving. He faces government conspiracies, Russian assassins, and otherworldly monsters with a cigarette in one hand and a punch ready in the other.

If Hopper is your favorite, you likely have a protective streak and a no-nonsense attitude. Your friends might say you're the 'parent' of the group, always ready to fight their battles and ensure everyone gets home safe, even if it means facing off against a demodog or two.

Joyce Byers

Winona Ryder's Joyce Byers is the epitome of a mother's love, her tenacity as palpable as the Christmas lights she strings up in her desperate search for Will. From wielding an axe to venturing into the Upside Down, Joyce will stop at nothing to protect her kids. If you're drawn to Joyce, you're likely the caregiver of your group, armed with a fierce will and ready to go to the ends of the Earth—or any dimension—to keep your loved ones safe. Your tenacity is unmatched, and like Joyce, you'd probably do some DIY electrical work if it meant communicating with a lost friend.

Steve Harrington

Steve "The Hair" Harrington, played by Joe Keery, starts as the typical high school heartthrob but evolves into a lovable, bat-wielding, "babysitter" figure. His transformation is compelling, showing that growth and change are always possible. Steve's fight against the demodogs and his protectiveness over the kids make him an unexpected hero.

Choosing Steve suggests you're charismatic and adaptable, someone who's had their fair share of personal growth. You're likely the cool mentor figure to your friends, the one they look up to for advice on life, love, and how to properly wield a nail bat against otherworldly creatures.

Robin Buckley

Last but not least, Robin Buckley, portrayed with quick wit and charm by Maya Hawke, burst onto the scene in Season 3, instantly winning fans over with her intelligence and sense of humor. Her dynamic with Steve and her bravery in decoding Russian messages at Scoops Ahoy make her a standout. If you're a fan of Robin, you likely value authenticity and have a knack for making friends in the most unexpected places. Like Robin, you're unapologetically yourself, with a sharp tongue for sarcasm and a heart ready to embrace people for who they are.
