'Stranger Things' makeup artist says Angela almost had braces so it'd be more painful when Eleven hits her with a roller skate

• Insider spoke with makeup artist Amy L. Forsythe about working on season four of "Stranger Things."
• She said she wanted Angela to have braces so that it'd hurt more when Eleven hits her in the face.
• Instead, the show's creators — the Duffer brothers — suggested Jeff of the Hellfire Club have them.

There are multiple villains throughout "Stranger Things" — Vecna, demogorgons, and Angela.

The latter character was introduced in season four as a classmate of Eleven and Will. She's blonde, bubbly, and popular, but also cruel to the show's leading character.

She tries to get Eleven in trouble with a teacher, taunts her in front of their peers, and mocks her at their local roller-skating rink.

That said, the "Stranger Things" makeup team had an idea to get revenge on the character.

"I wanted Angela to have braces," lead makeup artist Amy L. Forsythe told Insider. "Anyone who's had braces and sees someone get bashed in their face can feel the pain of them getting stuck in your gums."

Of course, the idea wasn't purely vengeful. Forsythe also noted that because "so many people have braces," she wanted to mirror that on screen.

But when it came to Angela in particular, she said, the Duffer brothers — the duo who created the series — argued that it wouldn't match her character.

"They were like, 'No, she needs to look perfect.' And I get it. I get it," she said of their conversation.

Instead, Forsythe was able to put braces on Jeff, a member of the Hellfire Club alongside Eddie Munson, a character she also worked to create.

According to the Emmy-nominated makeup artist, Angela's picture-perfect appearance is just one way that the show's creators helped bring the characters to life.

When asked how involved they are in conceptualizing the hair and makeup looks each season, Forsythe replied, "Very."

"They're the creators, so it's really fun when we're starting the season because they usually direct the first block," she said. "So we're establishing all these new characters through them, and instead of going through a middleman, we're right at the source."
