Walden

***Walden*** is a quirky intellectual who finds great wisdom in everything from ancient philosophy to tarot card readings.

He has a passionate curiosity about everything and a unique way of looking at the world. Every time he faces a challenge, he tells himself to "think, think, think!"

## Description

﻿Walden is a good friend, but sometimes his secret fears make him want to drop out of adventures. Walden is a science type and is mostly willing to help out. He is more careful than others, but is overall a nice and noble person. According to the theme song, he knows about science and books and art. However, most episodes show him helping by reading his books and using science; his art skills are not shown much, but the episode where his art skills appear the most is You Gotta Have Art. He appears to be more of a fatherly or uncle-like figure to Wubbzy due to his wisdom and maturity level.

He is also known for his skill in music being able to play many types of musical instruments like the piano, drums, electric guitar and mainly the hoopty-horn in multiple episodes

Part of his extensive knowledge includes the ability to communicate with various animals. For example, in O' Figgity Fig Tree, Walden talks with a glowfly to gather its glowfly friends to act as lights on the tree.

Walden has a habit of repeating words three times. Other than occasionally using Wubbzy's "wow wow wow", he often says "yes yes yes" when affirming something, "no no no" when disagreeing or warning, and "my my my" when exclaiming amazement. He speaks in with an Australian accent.

## Personality

Walden is very smart, friendly, and loves reading. He can be distracted easily, as when reading a book he doesn't really pay attention to his friends. Deep down he is sometimes worried and insecure.

## Looks

Walden is a purple bear-like creature with black eyeglasses that have blue lenses. He has a red shirt with white polka dots and a white collar, and wears a turquoise tie.

## Appearances

Walden has appeared in most episodes of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!. Walden made his first appearance in A Tale of Tails. Walden's last appearance was in Woozy Walden, the final episode.
