->'''(Hidden answer to Why Did You Make This Website?):''' When I unwrapped the first letter, I felt it. I heard it. Open. Open. Open. I want it out. I’m going to get it out.

* MoreThanMindControl: There seems to be ''something'' compelling the team forward despite the apparent danger and sinister-vibes surrounding the show.

* HypnoticEyes: Wally's association with spirals and the constant focus on his eyes slightly give off this vibe. Especially with picture's of his eyes staring back at the viewer either dilated or just plain manic looking. In one hidden audio, he's teaching the viewer on how to draw his eyes. He starts off with a giant circle, but how does he draw his pupils? In spirals, before colouring in the empty spots.

->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (concepts), cyberscraps (main series)

* EldritchLocation: The prologue hints at the possibility. Home is a sentient house with moving eyes and whose body seems to leak black ooze. One JumpScare depicts Home with jittery bloody eyes. Meanwhile, if one clicks and drags Home's icon on ''The Neighborhood!'' page (or view the page on Mobile) then you'll find a black void in its place with a white spiral within.

* SentientStars: She's a yellow star with a human body.

* HiddenDepths: Despite his initially coming of as a simple, sweet, if somewhat scatterbrained mailman, in the "HAPPY HAUNTING TO BOO AND YOURS" recording, Eddie is the only neighbor to recognize Sally’s clown costume as Pedrolino, relating that he’s read ''CommediaDellArte'' in his spare time. Also, despite not remembering the name, he appears to have chosen his own costume as [[Literature/MonsterANovelOfFrankenstein Frankenstein’s Monster]] because he found the book’s “moral conundrum” interesting.

* GenkiGirl: She is the happiest resident of Home.

* MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: The character description for Barnaby mention a running joke where Barnaby would claim that his middle initial stands for things related to himself or the situation at hand, such as bark, blue, or buddy.
* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It remains unknown what the "B." in Barnaby B. Beagle stands for, and as stated above, he changes it constantly.

* MysteriousMiddleInitial: It remains unknown what the "B." in Barnaby B. Beagle stands for.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice was based on Creator/RodneyDangerfield.

Undoubtedly the cheeriest neighbor a puppet could ask for, Julie Joyful is Welcome Home’s happiest resident. Amidst such a rainbow of brightly colored neighbors, that's really saying something! Upbeat, silly, and always ready to play with her friends, there’s never a boring day in Welcome Home while she’s around. She is Frank’s best friend.

Arguably the smartest neighbor in Welcome Home, Frank Frankly is the resident bookworm with an expertise on butterflies. Despite being the grumpiest and greyest of this colorful cavalcade of neighbors, it's good to have someone so organized and matter-of-fact amidst the bunch. After all, he enjoys being frank, even if it means being Frank, whatever that means! He is Julie’s best friend.

* OddNameOut: While the other residents have first names that end with the long "e" sound[[note]]"E" as in "easy"[[/note]], Frank's name is the only one whose name does not end in that sound.

* EldritchLocation: The prologue hints at the possibility. Home is a sentient house with moving eyes and whose body seems to leak black ooze. One JumpScare depicts Home with jittery bloody eyes. Meanwhile, if one clicks and drags Home's icon on ''The Neighborhood!'' page (or view the page on Mobile) then you'll find a black void in its place with a white spiral within. On the topic of ''The Neighborhood!,'' clicking on any house will portray Home with [[MonsterMouth a gaping mouth where its face should be]] [[FreezeFrameBonus before the page transitions to the profile of whoever lives there.]]

The most prominent character of Welcome Home, Wally Darling is the friendliest neighbor, perhaps even the best painter too. With a smile like his it’s hard to disagree! Always eager to make new friends and show them around the neighborhood, Wally is happy to lend a helping hand. But you knew that already, didn’t you? He is also the inhabitant of Home.

** The 7/22 update muddles this even further, [[spoiler: as Wally gets several hidden tapes in which he speaks to (presumably) the viewer, saying cryptic phrases that reference being able to see the person he speaks to as he gets progressively more agitated. However, Wally never overtly threatens the viewer, and because of his otherwise monotonous tone, it's difficult to tell whether he's expressing anger or fear.]]

* TheDitz: He doesn't really grasp the fact that apple pies have apples in them, because they don't ''look'' like apples. He also used to not understand kisses and the concept of "short". This is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by the fact that every episode of the show involved Wally learning something; being initially ignorant about things is part of his role.

* GoMadFromTheIsolation: While the other puppets still seem to be around in some capacity, losing the "ninth neighbor" [[note]]aka You[[/note]] seems to have done a number on him. By the time he's found the player through the website he seems to have a few screws lose, although [[MaskOfSanity he hides it fairly well.]]

-->'''Barnaby:''' Hiya, Howdy. I think we're gonna enjoy ourselves the usual.
-->'''Howdy:''' A usual for my usuals? Comin' right up, pal-ly!
-->'''Wally:''' The usual? I thought we were getting hotdogs.

--->'''Interviewer:''' Is that why they call you Wally Darling?
--->'''Wally:''' They call me Wally Darling because that’s my name.

-->'''Wally:''' Hi, Julie. Hi, Frank. Home wanted to know if it can play croquet too?
-->'''Julie:''' ''(gasps)'' Of course!
-->'''Frank:''' Well, I don’t see why not!
-->'''Wally:''' Oh, swell.
-->{{Beat}}
-->'''Frank, seemingly uncomfortable:''' I-is there ''(clears throat)'' something else, Wally?

-->'''Frank, pointing at his own frown''': Frowning is easy, see?
-->'''Wally, still smiling but with a frustrated look in his eyes''': Maybe for you, but not for me!

* PowerIncontinence: One of the [[spoiler: blacklight messages in the safe,]] which is implied to be from him, indicates that the SanitySlippage, dizziness, and fatigue that the Restoration Team and the Question-Answerer are going through is unintentional on his part.

->'''Voiced by:''' unknown (concepts), cyberscraps (main series)

* AmbiguousSituation: Frank is implied to know more than he lets on, due to (literal) bugs appearing throughout the pages of the website after the first update. Whether or not he's in cahoots with Wally or working against him is unclear. There's also the matter of the [[spoiler: photo of him in the safe, where he appears to be clutching a glowing red paper with a frightened look on his face.]]

* ADogNamedCat: Implied. It isn't clear what species of bird she is, but despite being called Poppy Partridge, she describes herself as being "a bit of a flamingo on her father's side and a bit of a hen on her mother’s side."

* FourLeggedInsect: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], Howdy has eight limbs while an actual caterpillar only has six.

---> Sally: "I know, I know, having a star for a neighbor can be so intimidating! She's so terrific, you're probably thinking! Phenomenal, staggering, breathtaking- I'm taking the words right out of your mouth, I bet!"

->'''Wally, after Eddie picks him up:''' Oh, I'm up here now.

* CreepyMonotone: His voice is very calm, clear, and even, but it's also a sign that his character isn't quite as sane or charming as some people think at first. [[spoiler: He even maintains it when he's upset, although, he tends to talk more tersely and raises his voice slightly.]]

-->'''Sally:''' Let’s get down to brass tacks.

Howdy Pillar is Welcome Home’s friendliest and happiest shopkeeper! This colorful caterpillar knows his store like the back of his hands, which is impressive considering how many hands he has. Charismatic, quick-witted, and remarkably jolly, Howdy always seems to have whatever his neighbors need with a price that just can’t be beat!.

-->'''Howdy:''' Listen, pal, time is jokes and if I’m not laughing then I don’t have time!

-->'''Voiced by:''' Gina Moravec
The most rambunctious resident in Welcome Home, Sally Starlet shines above the rest. She’s a fire-cracker who is willing to let her imagination run wild in the name of a new adventure, albeit at the occasional expense of her more cautious neighbors. Thankfully, she’s got a good head on her shoulders and perhaps, one could even say, a sunny disposition to match!

---> Sally: "I know, I know, having a star for a neighbor can be so intimidating! She’s so terrific, you’re probably thinking! Phenomenal, staggering, breathtaking- I’m taking the words right out of your mouth, I bet!"

-->'''Voiced by:''' Joshua Waters
Reliable, kind, and ever determined, Eddie Dear is the best mailman Welcome Home has ever had, albeit the only one. Despite being a bit of a clumsy and forgetful fellow, Eddie loves his job and always manages to deliver everyone’s mail right on schedule. He is also Frank's husband.

* AmbiguousInnocence: Like Wally, Home seems to be connected to something sinister. However, how involved Home actually is and whether or not it’s a willing association isn't revealed during the prologue.

Jonesy likes just about any fun thing.”'']]

* NightmareSequence: A description of one can be found [[spoiler: in the safe]] where they talk about a nightmare involving [[spoiler: Wally sitting at the foot of their bed, holding a ringing toy telephone, and waiting unblinkingly for them to answer it. However, they are unable to do so.]]

* SanitySlippage: If you can manage to [[spoiler: get into the safe]] from the 7/22 update, you'll find a few notes (among other things) from them that indicates coming into contact with the items from ''Welcome Home'' has done a number on their sanity.

* TerribleTicking: Their notes [[spoiler: in the safe]] describe how they hear a continuous [[spoiler: ringing of a phone]], but can't find the source of it.

* UnknowinglyInLove: Clown has stated that Wally both doesn't fully understand the concept of love, and that he also falls ''in'' love (seemingly platonically) easily over and over again despite that. As a result, he arguably qualifies him for trope.
