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 makes Bean as a slave (as seen in "A Royal Makeover") and 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. There are times where Wicket can be nice towards Bean, even making a birthday party for him.

- It is possible that he is staying for free, but only if he does what she says (such as mowing the lawn or renovating the house).
- It's also possible that she collects rent from Bean offscreen.
