What Stranger Things Character Are You?

Grab your walkie talkie and find out which Stranger Things character you really are.

Hawkins looks ordinary from far away, but anyone who has ever loved Stranger Things knows there is so much more lurking beneath the surface. Beyond the bikes, walkie talkies, and late night D&D sessions, every character is carrying something heavy and real. Maybe you see yourself in Eleven’s quiet intensity or in Mike’s relentless loyalty. Maybe you recognize the softness under Will’s fear, the wit behind Robin’s rambling honesty, or the unexpected steadiness that makes Steve everyone’s unofficial guardian. Every person in this world fights back in their own way, even when the darkness feels too big.

This quiz uncovers the instincts that shape you: how you love, how you cope, how you hold your people close, and how you move through fear and change. It looks at your resilience, your humor, your desire for connection, and the parts of you that grow quietly in the background while no one is looking. Stranger Things has always been about ordinary people rising to impossible moments, and this quiz tries to understand which kind of hero you would be among them. If you’re ready to step into the Upside Down and find your place in the story, let’s begin.
