He has a typical boy mindset when it comes to girls doing boyish activites. Will is also responsible enough to focus on ways in dealing with the threats from the Upside Down and dealing with personal issues amongst his friends. Will also had a profound sense of responsibility, drawing a picture of Bob as a superhero to commemorate his sacrifice to save everyone. It's also possible one of the reasons he waited to tell his family and friends about his visions was so he wouldn't worry them. This side of his personality is also displayed somewhat during the Snow Ball, where he reluctantly accepted a girl's invitation to dance though he clearly had no desire to do so. Also, Joyce recounted a story of how when he was younger, Will gave away his toy truck to a saddened girl in order to make her feel better, even though they wouldn't be able to afford another one. This was implied by his actions during the Dungeons & Dragons campaign on November 6th, 1983, were he decided to attack the Demogorgon to help the party instead of playing it safe. One of Will’s most notable traits is how he often put other people before himself. After the Mind Flayer was exorcised from his body, Will seemingly returned to his usual self with no visible adverse effects. Eventually, the Mind Flayer's influence over Will was so great, he was able to speak through him and control his body. As Will's mind was gradually taken over, he began to experience memory loss and was manipulated into aiding the Mind Flayer. The connection also caused him to experience physical pain whenever the vines and biological matter originating from the Upside Down were burned. Following his possession by the Mind Flayer, Will developed an aversion to heat and became increasingly distressed by his connection with the entity. Additionally, he had grown frustrated with everyone's sensitive treatment towards him, especially with his mother and brother's overprotectiveness.

This, along with his father's prior poor treatment of him, most likely led to feelings of alienation.Īfter his ordeal with the Upside Down, Will became even more alienated due to his peers labeling him "Zombie Boy" (due to the cover story conceived to conceal what actually happened to him). However, his interests and social status resulted in him being bullied. He is also creative, having a passion for art and writing stories. He also displays a lot of the same interests as his friends, such as Dungeons & Dragons, comics like the X-men, and films like Ghostbusters. Like his friends, he is exceedingly intelligent for his age, having an enthusiasm for science and being a member of their school's AV club. Will is soft-spoken, amicable, and honest.

A month later, after being free from the Mind Flayer, Will attended the Snow Ball with his friends but his mom still kept an eye on him to see if he was safe. Finally, with the help of his mother and brother as well as Nancy, the monster's possession over Will was alleviated and he returned safe and sound. However, the Mind Flayer exploited Will's connection to use him to massacre the scientists at Hawkins National Laboratory.
