Which ‘Over the Garden Wall’ Character Are You?
Chad Collins
|
Over the Garden Wall remains a perennial autumnal treat. Equal parts scary and charming, this animated odyssey deserves to rank among the best of the best as standout gateway horror offerings. Inimitable in style and gorgeously Halloween-flavored, it’s the miniseries equivalent of the house that hands out full-sized candy bars while trick-or-treating. It drips with personality and has pumpkin guts of gusto that most Halloween properties aimed at young audiences would envy.

Results
Wirt: 10 – 14
Gregory’s older half-brother. You’re sweet and sensitive but impatient and insecure. You feel deeply, but those feelings are complicated.
Beatrice: 15 – 24
A talking bluebird (voiced by the iconic Melanie Lynskey). You regularly get yourself into messes. In those moments, you only want to save the ones you love, even if it comes at the expense of others. You’re intrinsically kind, but the world threatens to chip away at that. You don’t let it, however; when the going gets tough, you always make the right choice.
Gregory: 25 – 34
Cute lil’ guy. Wirt’s younger half-brother. Nothing fazes you. Life is fun, and you’re gonna enjoy it.
The Beast: 35 – 44
A monstrous being. You demand the souls of the living for your eternal forest of the damned. In other words, you were an emo punk in high school.
The Woodsman: 45 – 54
You feel deeply, but you’re afraid to show it. A rough exterior hides a warm heart. Over time, you’ve come to realize that empathy isn’t a weakness.
Jason Funderburker, the Frog: 56 – 61
You like to sing, dance, and celebrate those around you. You’re aggressively loyal (and talented). Not everything makes sense—the world is crazy, right—but you’re doing your best and having a ball with it.
