His brother Jonathan and mom Joyce searched the entire area, called the police, did everything they could to help in the search, but there was not a single clue. Will’s friends also decided not to stand aside. They started searching in the forest, but instead of a friend they found a scared girl to death. After a short debate, Mike took her to his place.

Without saying a word to his parents, he put her in the basement and secretly carried food. The girl did not speak, but she understood human speech and even introduced herself to the guys as Eleven. She knew where Will had gone. Later it became known that she was kept in a laboratory where the abilities of the human brain were studied. Thanks to this, the girl has telekinesis.

Police officer Jim Hopper took the girl to live at the end of season 1, and thanks to Joyce’s efforts, Will was found. But the perpetrators were not punished.

But feelings for friends did not allow her to retreat.

In Season 2, Hopper didn’t let Eleven communicate with the guys for a long time. But the girl stubbornly listened to the radio, in which Mike tried to find her every day. The boy constantly turned on the radio and called her. Hopper strictly forbade her to talk about her location. Eleven and Mike struck up a relationship, but had to part ways in Season 3. Without maintaining this relationship, Jim managed to embroil the children, but in season 4 it became known that not for long.
