== Charactah Account ==
Wander is a little orange furry guy who wants to befriend everyone he meets. Sylvia is his best friend, and the feeling is mutual. Wander's personality drives him compulsively to be helpful. His recklessness and impulsiveness often gets him (or Sylvia, or far more often both) in trouble, but they usually come through in the end, whether by karma or by his cunning wit.
Wander has a very friendly and kind-hearted personality, though some find his boundless energy and optimism to be annoying, notably Lord Hater. He is also somewhat flighty and easily distracted, but always well-meaning, with a very strong moral center. Though he can be naïve, Wander is shown to be very witty and clever when he needs to be, and is capable of problem-solving on the spot and outsmarting his adversaries with little effort. Wander likes everyone he meets and always sees the good in people rather than the bad.
Wander aspires to explore different worlds, try new things, and help people have fun and live free, often clashing against the tyrannical aspirations of Lord Hater and his army of Watchdogs evil reign. Wander likes making people happy and jumps at the chance to help anyone out whenever he can. He and his best friend Sylvia travel leisurely all throughout the galaxy, often getting themselves into many exciting and dangerous situations.

== Trivia ==
* It is revealed in the episode: "The Legend" that Wander is a Star Nomad (Species). (However, this may have been just a joke as the creators made fun of the fanbase in the episode who first coined the term for Wander's species, Star Nomad).
* Creator Craig McCracken's very first sketch of Wander was drawn in 2007. In this sketch, he had more fur on his body, wore a different looking hat, and held a staff.
* Papa G from Kid Cosmic, another show by Craig McCracken, shares many similarities with Wander, both in personality and appearance.
* In the sneak peek clip shown at Comic-Con 2012, Wander had four hair strands on his head. In the series, he only has three.
* Wander is attracted to small red lasers like a cat, as shown in "The Prisoner".
* Wander is ambidextrous, as shown in "The Egg" when he played the banjo with both hands.
* Wander's name is based on the verb of the same name, which is a term for exploring, moving, or turning. In addition, the second part of the title, "over yonder", is a saying for "over there", which sets up the meaning of his name.
* Wander see a human version of himself named Ander. Ander (Human Wander) wears a white T-shirt with a star on it and a green collar, dark blue shorts and has eyebrows and no chin hair.
* In "The Fugitives", it's said that Wander doesn't know what a uvula is and refers to it as "the dangly thing in my mouth".
* Wander uses his hat as a sleeping bag as shown in "The Prisoner", "The Box", "The Lonely Planet", "The Night" and "The Bad Hatter".
* In "The Bad Guy", Wander wears a fake mustache and pretends to be a villain, calling himself "Wild Wooly Wander".
* The episode "The Egg" shows Wander is really good with caring for children.
* "The Fugitives" states that helping others gives Wander a feeling that goes like this:
** Starts down in his left toe.
** Rises up through his "guttyworks" (guts).
** Makes his heart all warm and toasty.
** Floats up past his uvula (or, as he puts it, "the dangly thing in his mouth").
** Ends at the top of his head.
* Wander can knit sweaters, as shown in "The Pet" and "The Stray".
* Wander doesn't like Jellyfish Pie, as revealed in "The Hat".
* Wander speaks in a heavy Southern accent, and uses a lot of Southern vocabulary (eg: "Howdy, fellas!", "Hungry, little feller?", etc.).
* Wander has his own background music whenever he is seen, consisting of mainly Country, Vaudeville or Bluegrass.
* Wander is afraid of poisonous bugs, as shown in "The Night".
* Wander is also afraid of giant huge smiling figures, shown in The Box and The Heebie Jeebies.
* "The Lonely Planet" also revealed that Wander likes pancakes, waffles, and blueberry pie.
* Wander can balance a spoon in the middle of his face where his nose should be.
* Wander likes to dance, as shown in "The Party Animal" and "The Fancy Party".
* Wander has, on at least one occasion, ripped a door right out of a wall. This shows that he may be stronger than he looks in the episode "The Fancy Party".
* Wander knows how to perform the Heimlich maneuver and CPR shown in "The Little Guy" and "The Fancy Party".
* "The Gift 2: The Giftening" is the only episode where Wander appears but does not speak.
* Wander, on occasion, likes to create his own sound effects for his actions. Such as saying "boink-boink" while raising his eyebrows, "ding!" when coming to a realization, and "gasp!" when shocked.
* Wander is shown to be a somnambulist and a somniloquy, meaning he walks and talks in his sleep, in "The Day". He is also a deep sleeper.
* Wander has somewhat of a penchant for dressing himself up in feminine clothing. He has done so in "The Greatest", "The Good Deed", "The Date", "The Enemies" and "The Secret Planet". His choice of wardrobe bears some similarity to Bugs Bunny, in that he generally only does so to distract, seduce, or mislead his opponent.
* In "The Greater Hater", it is revealed that "Wander" is not really his name. "Wander" is just a nickname given by Sylvia where they first met in "The Waste of Time".
* In "The Battle Royale", Sourdough mentions that Wander is a vegetarian.
** A few earlier episodes hint at this; all the food he packed for "The Picnic", including the sandwiches, had no meat. Wander also showed disgust for jellyfish pie in "The Hat", which presumably would not be vegetarian. All other food he's eaten have lacked meat, including the giant hoagie he wolfed down in "The Tourist" and the triple pickle cream pie in "The Helper". He is not vegan however, as he does eat sandwiches with mayo ("The Picnic").
** In "The Breakfast", Wander does make eggs, but they were growing on a tree.
** In "The Greatest", one of the activities that Wander and Lord Hater participate in was a hot dog eating contest. Whether or not these hot dogs were vegetarian is debatable.
** In "The Family Reunion", while Sylvia's family chows down on meat, Wander requests to have a salad instead.
* In "The It", it is shown that Wander knows how to speak Spanish. As he travels to many worlds, it's possible he may know other languages as well.
* In Russia, Wander is called "Тут-и-Там" (Tut-e-Tam), meaning "here and there".
* In Albanian, Wander is called Shëtitësi, meaning "Hiker".
* In Romanian, Wander is called Hoinarul, meaning "Wanderer".
