Wally Darling is the friendliest neighbor in Welcome Home, perhaps even the best painter too. With a smile like his it's hard to disagree!

He has droopy eyes and a cat-like mouth with no teeth. He has no nose or eyebrows.

Wally is your best friend. [33] Wally seems to be the only character aware about you on the other side and the only one to hear you. [34] 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. [35]

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. [36] He seems to love you platonically, and he tries to show this however he can. [37] 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, [38] he wants you to know you have his attention. [39] He also feels reassured to know you're looking back at him. [40]

He loves having conversations with you and answering your questions. [41] 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. [42]

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 in The Neighborhood, and even created a page specially for you in the website for you to enjoy.

He knows you're a good artist like him, and that you have drawn him many times, which he is very grateful for. That's why he also likes to share his drawing tips with you and doodles for you around the website, since he knows you would appreciate them.
