Wally Buchanan

Wally Buchanan (ウォーリー・ブキャナン Wōrī Bukyanan) is an old friend of Erza's, having known her since childhood during their time as slaves working on the Tower of Heaven. He is later revealed to be Richard's long lost younger brother.
==Appearance==
Wally is a man possessing an average height and a regular-toned body. His most distinctive feature is his whole body form, which consists of geometrical shapes and resembles that of blocks. Wally has black hair, an oddly-shaped chin, and has thick lips. He wears a royal blue suit with a white collared shirt and red necktie. He also wears black, oval-shaped sunglasses, a boater hat, and a white scarf can be seen hanging loosely around his neck.
==Personality==
In his childhood, Wally was a normal boy. After the slaves of the Tower of Heaven broke free, Wally, for the first time, saw a western cartoon. As a result, he now considers himself a "Dandy" man and tries to make himself look dandy (cool) in every chance he gets.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 82, Pages 7-8 He also teaches others how to be dandier. For example, he remarks to Millianna that talking cats are not unique, and that they are cats because they can talk. His dandyness, however, has a limit, as he tells Millianna later that Natsu is, in fact, not a cat.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 84, Page 6
==History==
Wally, and his brother, Richard, lost their parents at a very young age and lived on cultivating potatoes.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 67
Eventually they ended up being slaves at the Tower of Heaven.
Wally, alongside a couple of kids that were also taken from their home, was forced to build the R-System, also known as the Tower of Heaven. It was there where he met Erza, Millianna, Shô, Simon, and Jellal Fernandes.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 77, Pages 19-20 The group tried to escape a number of times, but their attempts usually failed.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 78, Pages 11-15 One day when the guards were threatening his friends due to Shô's crying, Erza rose up against them and inspired her friends and the other slaves to do the same.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 80, Pages 17-22 It was in this battle that he witnessed the death of a prisoner he was close to, Rob, and he saw Erza use her Magic Powers for the first time.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 81, Pages 10-20 Eventually, the slaves were victorious and were set to leave the island. While looking through the supplies their captors had, he came across a movie crystal (crystals with movies recorded in them) of a western movie, which he found cool and presumably shaped his obsession with being "Dandy". After Jellal had become controlled by Zeref, he took control of the tower and summons his friends to finish it after kicking Erza out, branding her a traitor when she refuses to go along with Jellal's wishes. He framed her by blowing up the ship the slaves intended to use to escape and then blaming it on her. Jellal was then able to convince Millianna, Shô, and Simon to continue to help in completing the tower.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 82, Pages 14-17 Eight years later, the group completed it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 76, Pages 18-20
==Synopsis==
===Tower of Heaven arc===
Wally appears in a casino where Team Natsu are currently vacationing, introducing himself to Natsu when the latter complains about losing a game and then promptly ambushes him pinning him to the ground and sticking a gun in his mouth.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 75, Pages 17-19 When Simon uses Dark Moment to throw the room in darkness, he shoots Natsu leaving him for dead,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 76, Pages 6-7 then regroups with Millianna, Shô, and Simon to kidnap Erza (as well as Happy which he gives as a present to Millianna, an avid cat lover) and take her back to the Tower of Heaven.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 76, Pages 13-20 Unknown to him however, Natsu survived thanks to his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 77, Pages 10-11
Later Natsu's group invade the tower to rescue their friends. Natsu finds Millianna's room and while fooling around with one of the costumed cat heads, Wally tries to ambush him,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 84, Page 2 only to be stopped by Millianna, as she loves cats and doesn't want to harm him since Natsu was looking like one. After Wally convinces her that Natsu the enemy, the two double team him and manage to gain the advantage. Just as he about to kill the Dragon Slayer, Happy intervenes and stops Wally. With Happy on the scene, Millianna hampers Wally's attacks allowing Natsu to knock out both in an instant.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 84, Pages 5-15
Wally manages to recover and tries to continue the fight, but is interrupted by Jellal who announces the Magic Council is planning on destroying the Tower of Heaven with the Etherion. Realizing Jellal's true intention, Wally is disheartened and confused till Natsu cheers him up before he proceeds for the top floor. Wally faints commenting on Natsu's scarf looking cool as he watches him go.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 85, Pages 2-13 He later recovers and, at Simon's insistence, helps move Lucy and Juvia out of the tower.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 92, Page 10 He along with Happy, Gray and Shô and the girls make their escape just before the Etherion fires upon the tower and it. The group can do nothing more but watch from afar as the rest of the event unfolds.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 93, Page 13
After Erza is saved, and Jellal is defeated, Wally apologizes to Erza for his actions and mourns the loss of Simon. Erza offers them an invitation to Fairy Tail which they consider but they stow away the night they suppose to leave, still ashamed of what they did.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 101, Pages 13-20 
Erza finds this out but doesn't stop them and allows them to go, but not before giving them a grand send off via fireworks as a way of showing them that they'll always be friends.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 102, Pages 7-17
