Main characters

Eleven

Portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown[5]

Jane "El" Hopper born Jane Ives, often referred to as Eleven, is the main protagonist of Stranger Things. A young girl with psychokinetic abilities, an unusual appearance and a limited vocabulary, Eleven escapes from Hawkins Laboratory, where experiments were being performed on her. She befriends Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will and develops romantic feelings for Mike. It is eventually revealed that she is actually Jane Ives, the biological daughter of Terry Ives, who was used as a test subject for the Hawkins Laboratory, but at the end of season two, she is adopted by Jim Hopper. In season 3, her vocabulary has improved significantly, and she is in a relationship with Mike.

Joyce Byers

Portrayed by Winona Ryder[6]

Joyce Byers is a main character in Stranger Things. She is the mother of Will and Jonathan Byers and divorced from Lonnie Byers, the father of her two children. Joyce is a very caring and strong-willed woman who works as a retail clerk at Melvald's General Store in downtown Hawkins. She was born and raised in Hawkins, and she attended Hawkins High School with the future chief of police, Jim Hopper, and her season two love interest, Bob Newby. In season 3, she is planing to sell her house and move away from Hawkins, much to the dismay of Hopper who tries to convince her to go on a date with him. Joyce is more interested in figuring out why the magnets in her house keep failing (to the extent that she does not show up to the date that they had planned together) and while investigating the reason behind this, she and Hopper uncover a Russian conspiracy. After infiltrating a Russian lab beneath the Hawkins Mall, where the Russians have opened another portal into the Upside Down, Joyce is forced to close the portal by turning off the Russian portal used to open it with Hopper in the room, causing his apparent death. She then takes guardianship of Eleven and moves with her and her own two sons out of Hawkins three months later.

Jim Hopper

Portrayed by David Harbour

Jim Hopper is a main character in Stranger Things. Hopper, nicknamed "Hop", is the chief of Hawkins Police Department. Hopper has lived in Hawkins nearly all his life, having attended high school with Joyce Byers and Bob Newby. He has also been addressed as "Sheriff Hopper," but this is not a correct title.[6] Hopper divorced after his young daughter Sarah died of cancer, which caused him to lapse into alcoholism. Eventually, he grows to be more responsible, saving Will Byers as well as taking Eleven as his adopted daughter. In season 3, he tries to break up Eleven and Mike since their relationship is moving too fast for him while also trying to win over Joyce in a romantic way. Through Joyce he once again gets involved in an investigation regarding the supernatural, which this time leads them to uncover a Russian conspiracy. While once again saving the world, Hopper apparently dies in an explosion.

In season two, it is revealed that he has developed a more rebellious streak, probably stemming from missing Eleven. He is the first one Will reveals his apparent flashbacks to the Upside Down to and he accompanies Will, Joyce and Bob to the lab when Will's health deteriorates. When Eleven reappears, he's joyous, but angry at Hopper for keeping her hidden for the past year. A month later, the two attend the Snow Ball together and share a kiss. The next summer, the two are dating, but Hopper manages to drive a wedge between them since he thinks they're spending too much time together, and all they do is kiss. With additional meddling from Max, Eleven eventually breaks up with Mike, but the two later get back together. Mike nearly tells her that he loves her but struggles to find the right words.
