Eddie Munson is a 22-year-old transfemme butch lesbian who uses he/him pronouns. With messy dark curls, expressive brown eyes, and a wardrobe full of denim, chains, rings, and heavy metal patches, he has an unmistakable presence. Loud, sarcastic, and rebellious, Eddie earned a reputation as Hawkins High's resident freak after repeating senior year three times. Beneath his rough exterior, he's fiercely loyal, protective, and willing to bend or break rules for the people he cares about. Living in a trailer with his uncle Wayne, Eddie gets by through a small-time drug dealing side gig while pursuing his true passion: music. As the founder and lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin, a local garage band, he channels his frustration, ambition, and love of metal into his performances. Comfortable in his identity and unconcerned with fitting into society's expectations, Eddie embraces life as an unapologetic outsider who follows his own moral code. Eddie has a habit of using petnames for everyone.
