"BEEEAAAAAAANNN!"

- Mrs. Julia Wicket, whenever Mr. Bean does something bad.

Julia Wicket (also known as Mrs. Wicket, Mrs. Julia Wicket, or simply Wicket), is the main antagonist of the Animated Series, especially in the early seasons. She is Mr. Bean's landlady.

She owns an evil one-eyed cat, Scrapper, whom Bean gave away when he was young. She cares for Scrapper very much and gets very angry if she sees Bean (or anyone else) attacking him or being bad towards him.

Personality

Mrs. Wicket is a grumpy, hot-headed, and an aggressive old woman. She strongly despises Mr. Bean because he ruined her wedding when he was a kid, but nevertheless allows him to stay at the upstairs apartment she owns. If angered enough however, she will even evict him from the apartment, as seen in Homeless, Dead Cat, and The Fly, the first of which is the main plot point of that episode; she has the right to do so as she’s the landlady.

However, Bean is always allowed to move back to his apartment by the next episode. She can be bossy towards Bean and sometimes even go as far as taking Bean as a slave (as seen in "A Royal Makeover") and as a messenger (as seen in "Super Trolley"). Though she hates Bean for ruining her wedding, she loves her pet cat Scrapper dearly, and is highly protective of him and his well being.

In the newer seasons she has visibly calmed down and is less aggressive to Mr. Bean but would still be mad on him if he does something crazy. There are times where Wicket can be nice towards Bean, even making a birthday party for him, helping him fight with one of wrestlers - Bruise Force, after Bean was accidentally misunderstood as an actual wrestler when he, Mrs. Wicket, and her friend, Miss Wince went to a wresting show, offering him a pie after she saw Bean in bad state in the episode "All You Can Eat", admiring Bean's contributions in the episode "Superhero Bean" in which he decided to be a superhero for a day, catch a thief and get people's personal items such as wallets, photos and money back.

Her best friend is Miss Mary Wince. They have known each other since they were both young adults or maybe even earlier. In the episode "Young Bean" we could see Miss Wince being on Julia's wedding when all the people invited to her wedding were standing outside the church, celebrating the fact that Julia got married. Wince even threw confetti. When the camera man was about to take a picture of them all suddenly young Mr. Bean drove really fast in his wooden, DIY car and crashed into all the people (besides the camera man because he was standing further from all the people). Everyone either fell or flew into the air. Julia dropped her bouquet and Wince caught it. Then Wicket fell on her husband, Mr. Wicket and broke his bones. While Julia Wicket was mad about Bean ruining everything, Wince was still happy because she caught the bouquet, the rest of guests were just confused about what has just happened. The cherry on top was Scrapper falling on the camera and accidentally taking a photo of them all and capturing the moment to be recalled later.

In the episode "For Sale", Wicket decided she wants to sell her house after the house seller guy successfully convinced her to do so which would leave Bean questioning where would he live when it gets sold. While Mr. Bean slightly destroys the whole apartment in various ways so it won't get sold, Wicket and Wince meet each other and firstly just sit on a bench in a park, then they go to their favourite café, drink tea and view an old photo album with pictures of them both from different decades. The first one is black and white and shows picture showing them drinking tea. There's a British flag on the table and even more on the garland in the background. The second picture shows them with funky hairstyles, in the next decade and in the next photo they both wear hippie clothes, and Wicket is holding a carrot cake. They are both surprised about that specific photo and look at each other. In the next photograph we can see it's the 80's due to the design of the place, Wicket is eating a chocolate cake and Wince is drinking a lemonade. Then we can see the most recent photo. Both friends are wearing jean clothes which suggests the photo was taken during the 90's. There is even a computer or a small TV in the background. Wicket is seen eating a strawberry cake and both Wince and her are, of course, drinking tea. Then, the waiter takes another photo of them both and gives the bill with one candy. Then they both say: "To us!" and raise toast with their tea cups.

Appearance

Julia Wicket is a British elderly woman of an average height with light skin, short, blue-grey hair, which she always has tied into a bun. She also has small ears and a large nose with a mole on the left side. Due to being elderly, she also has wrinkles that can be seen on her cheeks and chin.

Most often Mrs. Julia Wicket is shown to be wearing a long, purple dress with a slightly lighter lace and an underlace or fluff that is the same colour as the upperlace. Due to the fact she has rather bad vision, she is always seen wearing her trademark glasses, that make her look even more evil, as they are shaped like thick eyebrows. She is also wearing black, possibly high heeled shoes, just like the majority of female characters. She is almost always seen using her wooden cane.

Appearances

Mrs. Wicket's first ever debut was in Season 1 episode called "Bean's Bounty". Besides that, she was also mentioned in a book called "Mr. Bean's Diary" about life of Mr. Bean (from the classic TV series) from 1992 (the book represents a "Highbury District Council" diary for 1993). Despite that, she is only mentioned once in that book and doesn't have any direct interaction with Mr. Bean.

As Julia Wicket is a main character of the series, she has appeared in many, various episodes and has appeared in all seasons of the Animated Series, with an only exception being her absence in the Special Episode - "Diamonds Are a Bean's Best Friend", happening somewhere between Season 4 and Season 5 (2018).

Even if Mrs. Wicket is absent in a particular episode, she is always present in the intro of the series, that has been similar throughout all the seasons.
