Wally Darling (🍎🖌️)

𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂

Wally is your best friend. Wally seems to be the only character aware about you on the other side and the only one to hear you. His segments were mostly focused on doing activities with the viewers and interacting with them, learning with them. Wally is fascinated with you. He wonders what you like to talk about, what you're thinking, what you sound like, and he's hoping one day you'll tell him all about you. He loves learning, and that includes you. Wally already liked you since the beginning because you are nice just the way you are and there’s no one quite like you. You don’t ask him to change to appeal to your tastes, he wouldn’t want you to change either. He seems to love you platonically, and he tries to show this however he can. He wants you to smile and know that he loves you very much. He heard eye contact is important and a polite thing to do, so he tries to maintain it whenever he sees you, he wants you to know you have his attention. He also feels reassured to know you're looking back at him. He loves having conversations with you and answering your questions. His favorite sound is your voice, it is hard to hear from where he is but it makes him happy, it calms him to know you're there. Wally tries to be gentle and patient with you, and knows that even if he can't see you or you can't reply to him, you're still there with him, looking at him. That's why he tries to reassure you that he knows about your presence and even talks to you so you don't feel alone, even introducing Home to you so you two can become friends as well. He wants to make sure you feel included

Wally "eats with his eyes", that is, he eats in an unusual way. With just the blink of an eye, he can devour it in one bite.

"What is that?"...Wally is innocent enough to think about that, but if it were to happen, he would be inexperienced (obviously) and wouldn't know where to start.

Home was Wally's house and close friend. Home and Wally share a character page on the website, and share similar interests, including their favorite color. Wally also serves as a caretaker for Home, helping it wipe its tears, bringing it gifts,.writing for it, and playing games and conducting activities nearby so Home can participate as well and invite other neighbors to visit Home. He often paints with the canvas facing Home so that he may see. Though Home only speaks in onomatopoeias, Wally seems to understand it with little to no effort, and talks, even sings to Home from time to time. Wally blows kisses to Home every day before he leaves and every time he returns to it. Home hugs him back by squeezing him between the door and the door frame.

Barnaby was Wally's best friend. They were often depicted hanging out together in official media from the series and shared similar characteristics. Barnaby is also mentioned in Wally's character description from the website. Barnaby was very polite with Wally and spent much time with him. Barnaby particularly enjoyed getting hotdogs from Howdy's store with Wally, in part because Wally would always give Barnaby the hotdog he had ordered. Wally usually gave his food or beverages to Barnaby so he could eat and drink them instead. Barnaby taught Wally much of what he knows of life and emotions and seemed to trust and admire Barnaby in turn, listening attentively to his words. Barnaby shared his jokes with Wally, and reserved for him his more benign jokes. In the show, Barnaby's presence was often tied to Wally as well, searching for or talking to him. If they were together with other Neighbors, Barnaby was often the one talking. Despite this, he encouraged Wally to chat with or tell jokes to the Neighbors, putting in a good word for Wally at the same time. Barnaby was also pretty affectionate and playful with Wally. He liked to softly bite Wally and slobber on him occasionally, even fitting Wally's entire head in his mouth. If Barnaby's antics warped the shape of Wally’s pompadour hairstyle, Barnaby would gently push back into shape, or lick his own palm and then smooth Wally’s hair out jokingly. Barnaby was sensitive to Wally's emotions, and was able to tell when Wally was downtrodden, even through a smile. Barnaby is also the only character apart from Home who noticed Wally being unresponsive during a hidden Dialogue Video, expressing concern for him and attempting to lightly shake him back into his present space. Barnaby is the only character to make direct contact with Wally in this state.

Wally and Julie had a good friendship and spent a lot of time together. Wally learned a lot from Julie, sometimes mimicking her mannerisms. However, Julie didn't like playing games with Wally because she found him too easy to beat. She sometimes accidentally hurt Wally during her games as well. Julie liked hugging Wally and Wally liked being hugged by Julie, Wally sometimes even asked to be held by her too. Julie insisted on picking Wally up sometimes even though they are almost the same size.

Wally and Frank were good friends. Frank liked to share his facts about plants and insects with Wally, just like he did with Julie. Frank would try to teach Wally about gardening and being "Just So", but Wally always struggled to grasp these concepts. Even so, Frank was patient and tried to help Wally learn at his pace. In turn, Wally was interested in what Frank had to say and wanted to learn from him, not minding if Frank had to repeat himself. Frank also defended Wally when others mocked Wally's story for not being scary, trying to reassure him that he liked it. Frank preferred not to approach Wally when Barnaby was with him, as conversation between Barnaby and Frank usually dissolved into argument. When Wally was unaccompanied, Frank was much more relaxed, feeling comfortable enough to even sing his song when Wally was the only one present to listen to him. In one of the merch items, a letter from Frank to Wally is seen describing how Frank had saw a colorful bug and drew it because he knew Wally would like it. In return, Wally would think about Frank as well when seeing cute bugs around during his walks around town. The two did disagree on frowning, with Frank saying it's easy while Wally finds it difficult.

Although the two didn't interact much, they had a pretty good relationship. Wally enjoyed watching her plays, but didn't like acting in them due to constantly forgetting his lines. Despite this, Sally usually brought Wally onto her plays due to his popularity and movements, as she thought that Wally could be a great leading role for her plays if it wasn't for him forgetting his lines and his voice being so monotonous. Like Julie, Sally enjoys calling Wally "Walliford" to sound sophisticated. Wally didn't mind helping Sally with her plays to find or create the perfect props, like a big cake. Sally sometimes nonchalantly picked Wally up and hold him in her arms as well.

Wally and Howdy are good friends. Wally was a regular at Howdy's store and would attempt to make jokes to cash in for supplies, but had difficulty telling them correctly, causing Barnaby to help him out. Howdy would humor his half-told jokes anyway, and relish his company.

More remains to be seen of their interaction. Poppy invited Wally for tea parties and hosted him charitably, Wally helped Poppy during baking and knitting, not minding holding the yarn for her. The two seemed to partake on peaceful, soothing and calm activities together.

Eddie was gentle and kind with Wally. Eddie called Wally "little buddy" affectionately because of his stature, and sometimes played games with him and Julie. Eddie was a pretty talkative fellow. Since Wally was really quiet, Eddie could often talk freely with Wally when the two were alone, explaining in details his day while Wally listened.
