List of Over the Garden Wall characters
Wikimedia list article
The American animated television miniseries Over the Garden Wall features a cast of fictional characters created by Patrick McHale. The series revolves around two half-brothers: Wirt (voiced by Elijah Wood), the awkward and pessimistic older brother, and Gregory (voiced by Collin Dean), the energetic and optimistic younger brother. The duo travel through a strange forest, searching for the way back to their home and encountering wondrous things along their journey. On their quest, Wirt and Greg interact with characters such as a bluebird named Beatrice (voiced by Melanie Lynskey), the Woodsman (voiced by Christopher Lloyd), and the Beast (voiced by Samuel Ramey).
Main
Wirt (voiced by Elijah Wood) is the older half-brother of Gregory. He often holds a determined and serious perspective on situations. He wears a red pointed hat made from a Santa hat, a navy blue nurses' cape with yellow buttons, a pair of grey pants, a white shirt, and thin suspenders. He wears shoes with mismatched colors, with one shoe being black and the other being brown. His clothes are revealed to be a Halloween costume—although even Wirt, who assembled the costume himself, is at a loss when it comes to explaining what the costume is specifically supposed to be. He is an easily frightened pessimist, and can become quickly annoyed with Greg, despite deeply caring for him.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24246948. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
