These sort of characters are usually [[LonersAreFreaks Freakish Loners]], but if they do have friends, they will be close ones. Genius qualities do not a Wonka make, but they must show some sort of prowess in at least one area in order to confirm that they are in fact not mad, but merely "differently sane". Other common traits include irreverence, lack of social skill or any sense of danger and doing bizarre things that, nevertheless, make perfect sense if you take a step back and think outside the box, because that's where Wonkas live.

Different from a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} in that Wonkas have their heads in Loonyland and their feet on earth, whereas Cloudcuckoolanders are completely in orbit. Also, Wonkas tend to be more extroverted and energetic than drifty, dreamy Cloudcuckoolanders, and they use more logic. For example, a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} may carry a gas mask around once to scare away evil spirits, but a Wonka will [[CrazyPrepared carry a gas mask around everywhere]] "in case there's a gas leak. ''Duh''," and then act as though you're the odd one because you don't.
