** The Wicked Witch of the West reminded Wirt too much of Adelaide, "The Good Woman of the Woods" seeing as [[spoiler:Adelaide was actually working for The Beast.]] He does find it strange that a witch like her was weak to water, but then again [[spoiler:Adelaide didn't like cold night air, so who's he to complain?]]

** Another AloofBigBrother that Wirt avoids is Matt Hardy, especially after he heard how BROKEN Matt Hardy corrupted his brother to become Brother Nero. Wirt may be annoyed with Greg but he's not ''that'' much of a bully. Doesn't help that Matt can flip-flop between normal and BROKEN at the drop of a hat.
** Wirt may not like to admit it, but he's really good at playing clarinet and even the bassoon. He's been coerced by various gods to practice in the House of Music, but he's declined for now. This shyness made him friends with Fluttershy as she's known to have a beautiful singing voice, but she's working slowly to performing for large crowds.

* Opposes:
** Tim: All evil plant deities
** Bill Cole: all Child deities
* Pitied by: (Tim) [[Pantheon/TortureAndMutilation The Five Survivors(especially Ted)]], [[Pantheon/CharacterActions Chirin]].
* Tim Barnett was once an ordinary young boy staying with his Grandmother during Summer vacation. While Biking around her farm, Tim discovered an orchard with the most beautiful apples he'd seen. He decided to steal a few, and was angrily chased away with a shotgun by the Orchard's owner, one Bill Cole. Later,as his Grandma warned him to stay away from Cole's property, the man himself barged in to reprimand the boy for trespassing and belittled His Grandmother, even tauntingly reminding her of Tim's late Grandfather. Furious, Tim vowed to get back at the old man for bullying his grandma and despite the warnings, broke into Cole's orchard to spell out "BULLY" with some plundered apples for Bill to see.
* Tim ate one of Bill's prized apples to complete his victory, and that's where the nightmare began. Over the next few days, Tim found something bizarre was happening to him. He coughed up apple seeds, found a leaf deep in his ear, and Grandma's beagle Banjo seemed scared of him. Then strange bumps appeared under his skin and his belly ''coughed up a fresh apple'' Desperate for answers, Tim ran back to the orchard where he now perceived something horrible about the trees. Every one had a face, all unlucky kids who ate Cole's apples, as well as his missing Grandfather. Bark then covered the child's body as he was rooted in place, and the evil Bill Cole himself stepped out to watch Tim become the newest apple tree.
* Rumors of Cole's dark secret soon spread with the many disappearances. He was eventually invited to ascend as representative of Trees with Human features due to the ghastly nature of his orchard. Cole was happy to take up business as long as his orchard was left alone. However, he wasn't alone. One of the trees , young Tim Barnett, was able to temporarily manifest a human avatar to interact with the physical world. Tim vowed to do whatever he could to thwart Cole and save others from suffering his fate. Bill was annoyed but smirked at the thought a sentient tree could do much of anything.
* The existence of Allied Mastercomputer naturally terrifies the poor kid, as it's a godlike machine that specializes in [[AndIMustScream inflicting eternal suffering through altering humans.]] By contrast, Bill Cole is intrigued, and although AM hates humans, it complimented Bill for having a level of [[CompleteMonster extreme, sadistic malevolence that matched its own.]] Tim dreads AM discovering [[Literature/TheMidnightLibrary his home universe]], especially with how many kids befell similar fates that AM could use to his advantage.
* Applies to Tim:
** Tim immediately gravitated toward Courage the Cowardly Dog and his elderly owner Muriel, largely because they remind him of his Grandma and Banjo. Courage was horrified by Tim's fate and sometimes visits his tree, while Muriel thinks Tim's "such a nice boy" even if she doesn't get that his true body is an apple tree. He has no liking for Eustace though, even if Eustace isn't as bad as Cole, and sometimes Eustace will find lines of apples spelling out taunting messages.
** Even sadder is when Tim was human, his grandma would bake great apple pie. Now he can't bare to even look at the fruit thanks to his condition. Snow White is unnerved as she also ate a cursed apple, but [[InnocentlyInsensitive she does say Tim makes a beautiful tree.]] Alphonse Elric also knows what it's like to lose your human body and realized that he got off lucky compared to poor Tim. The two sometimes discuss all the things they missed about being flesh and blood. With his current Alchemic research, Alphonse hopes maybe to cure his new friend's condition.
** Tim definitely relates to others who have suffered traumatizing transformations, even if the circumstances were different. Gregor Samsa appreciates the gesture, as he was transformed into a giant insect out of devotion to his family and is now helpless to protect his sister from the same fate. Tim remarked that at least Gregor could still move and talk after his metamorphosis. Kevin Levin, formerly Kevin 11, also admits that Tim's story reminded him of his monstrous alien mutation at 11 years old, the lowest point in his life. [[EnfantTerrible While Kevin wasn't a good kid at that age]], Tim feels not even he deserved that.
** Finn and Jake, the heroes of Ooo, were shocked to learn this new kid was avatar for a sentient tree, and just disturbed by his story. Especially since they encountered creatures called Fruit Witches with an MO similar to Bill Cole. Finn also described Tim as a "reverse Fern" being a boy who became a plant as Fern was a plant who became a boy. As a fellow dog loving youth, Tim warmed up to the duo and asked them to say hi to Sweet P Trunks for him(she sounds a lot like his grandma).
** Tim's plight caught the attention of Swamp Thing, Avatar of the Green. The beast can communicate with the souls of Cole's victims, including Tim, and has sworn to someday destroy Cole for the boy's sake. In return Tim agreed to help Swamp Thing against his nemesis Anton Arcane. Arcane is arguably ''even worse'' than Cole, but Tim feels he doesn't have much to lose.
** Tim also found a friend in Reimi Sugimoto, another kid who lost her life to a monstrous sociopath and is bound to an alley in Morioh as Tim is bound to Cole's evil orchard. Despite his limited movement, Tim has promised to help thwart Reimi's killer Yoshikage Kira as much as he can. However, it depresses him that at least Reimi has her beloved dog Arnold with her, while Tim can't go back to Banjo. Reimi introduced him to Koichi Hirose, one of her friends, who feels Tim could be a great Stand User because of his protective nature. Tim is wary of Josuke though, as the older kid can be downright scary with [[AndIMustScream what he does to villains who ''especially'' infuriate him.]]
* Applies To Bill:
** Bill naturally takes no responsibility for the lives his orchard claims [[NeverMyFault and has stated they brought it on themselves by stealing his apples.]] This may be true, but his lack of real precautions and the sadistic glee he shows when his victims become trees proves this excuse moot.
** Bill can sometimes seen with the Coachman, a fellow old ChildHater who also transforms irresponsible children. The two men will often look for "naughty" children they can turn into either a donkey or a tree. Tim does everything he can to sabotage their efforts, and when the Coachman visits the Orchard, he usually gets projectile apples shot by a certain young tree at him.
** Cioccolata, a sadistic assassin with a deadly fungi based stand, has admitted he's impressed with Cole's work. He finds morbid art in the expressions of terror engraved on the Trees. His enemies in Giorno Giovanna and his team are on the other hand horrified and infuriated. Narancia Ghirga particularly relates to Tim as a hot blooded kid who hates bullies, so he's eager to pump Cole full of lead. While Giorno wants to revert all the transformed victims, he sadly noted that since he didn't know what their human bodies looked like, Golden Experience wouldn't be able to fully cure them. Even worse, Cole smugly stated that if they did anything to him, the orchard would die.
** Although Pamela Isley isn't one to talk given she's dished out similar punishment, she's repulsed by Cole and his apples, in part because Cole uses his powers for selfish revenge on hapless children. As Ivy usually only targets people she deems enemies to Mother Nature and has shown a protective side to kids, she aches to turn Bill into fertilizer.
** Derek Powers, better known as the radioactive madman Blight, once paid Cole's farm a visit, though he couldn't enter the orchard due to his radiation endangering the trees. Since they share a hatred for self-righteous youth ruining their business, he offered to produce Cole's apples as bio-weapons. Similarly, Silver Shamrock Novelties CEO Conal Cochran was curious of Bill's secret, since he feels his trees are just the kind of product for Silver Shamrock to [[{{Pun}} branch out into agriculture.]] Cole declined to share his secrets but offered to do business if they could make sure his orchard is left in peace.
** Much to Bill's annoyance, some fools still mess with his orchard. One prankster named Woody loves setting booby traps around the trees and doesn't even eat the apples. He also once caught a certain beatnik and his great Dane about to chow on his beloved apples before chasing them away with a shotgun. Shaggy and Scooby were even more freaked out when they learned of the fate that almost befell them, and Mystery Inc is hoping for a way to catch the evil farmer.
** A certain group of children who fight evil adults like Cole have been trying to break into Bill's Orchard and find a cure for his victims. Numbuh 5 is repulsed by him as she remembers how poor Heinrich Marzipan(even if he/she was a jerk) has been transformed into chocolate and became host to a supernatural liquorice plant on separate occasions. As a fellow native of Britain, Numbuh 1 has vowed to notify the KND English branch of Cole's activities. Cole is exasperated at the idea of a global organization of "nosy brats" and is tempted to franchise his apples so kids like them become apple trees on a global scale. Thankfully, he values his privacy too much.

** Wirt is wary of all skeletal gods due to his encounter with the "residents" of Pottsfield [[spoiler:being skeletons in pumpkin outfits]]. Papyrus is one of the first ones that Wirt became friends with, as it helps that Papyrus and Sans' relationship is similar to Wirt and Greg's.
*** Jack Skellington is another skeleton that Wirt has become friendly with, but was quite confused with Skellington's moniker "The Pumpkin King" since he doesn't wear pumpkin outfits like those in Pottsfield. Jack, in the meantime, is now preparing to dress up as Enoch (mayor of Pottsfield) and having a Halloween theme party based on the tales of the Unknown.
*** Speaking of pumpkins, Wirt and Greg once encountered Gourgeist while it was singing...and then she tried to put a curse on them. It was only through Jack's intervention that they survived.
** Fred the talking horse made it easier for Wirt and Greg to become accustomed to the Equestrian gods. Pinkie Pie's energy goes along well with Greg while Wirt likes to study alongside Twilight Sparkle.

* Various gods are wondering just ''what'' the Unknown is, with the closest thing that it can be is [[spoiler:Purgatory]]. Others wonder how Wirt and Greg even entered the Unknown [[spoiler:or whether or not it was a DyingDream due to them close to drowning]]. The only evidence that suggests that what Wirt and Greg went through was real is that [[spoiler:Greg's frog sometimes glows (For swallowing the bell Auntie Whispers used to control the demon possessing Lorna) and that both Wirt and Greg were immediately able to state the correct name for said frog (Jason Funderberger, who is one of Wirt's classmates)]]. Wirt himself doesn't know and doesn't care at the moment; right now, he's just trying his best to confront his awkwardness.
** Various gods have learned that someone has written comics about the adventures Wirt and Greg had in the Unknown and are scrambling to buy copies to see what else The Unknown has to offer. Wirt is embarrassed at the attention and Greg is happy to have new friends. [[spoiler:They comics confirm that apparently Wirt and Greg are called into the Unknown to stop various villains (for reasons...unknown), and Wirt even had his crush Sara join in for one.]] Whether this means DreamWalker gods are capable of following them or even ''affecting'' the Unknown is still...well, unknown.
** That said, because The Unknown was filled with quirky characters and talking animals, Wirt and Greg became close to Alice Liddell, avatar of Wonderland. The two have tea with her in her temple every now and then. Other goddesses who fell down the rabbit hole include Coraline Jones and Chihiro Ogino. Wirt shuddered in fear at Coraline's encounter with Other Mother since, according from what he learned from Beatrice, [[spoiler:the fate that Other Mother was going to give was very similar to what Adelaide wanted to do with him and Greg]]
*** On the other side of the Pacific there was Chihiro's story. Chihiro found herself curious about Wirt meeting up with Auntie Whispers and her niece Lorna because when Wirt described Auntie Whispers, Chihiro could only be reminded of Yubaba and Zeniba.
*** Hilda is absolutely enamored with the Unknown as its location reminds her of her life before moving to Trollsburg. She hopes to one day join Wirt and Greg on an adventure.

* The two have been warned to avoid [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Helheim Forest]] because it is ''much more terrifying'' than the Unknown could ever be. [[TemptingFate Wirt thought it couldn't be that bad]]. One talk with Kota Katzuraba later, Wirt was in a fetal position and shivering with fear.
** Thankfully there are friendly places like the Hundred Acre Wood that Wirt and Greg can relax in (it helps that one of the places Wirt and Greg entered in the Unknown was a schoolhouse for animals to learn their reading, writing and arithmetic). Greg likes hanging out with Roo, Tigger and Pooh while Wirt gained kinship with Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Piglet, and Eeyore. One day, Wirt joined Eeyore in one of his cloud-painting observations. Wirt was absolutely inspired to [[PurpleProse make up a poem on the spot]] to which Eeyore appreciated.
** Wirt and Greg became fast friends with the Pine twins since they share many similarities -- siblings heading off on an adventure and meet up with very quirky supernatural characters. Wirt is amazed at Dipper's ingenuity -- but is somewhat unnerved by the monsters he and Mabel interact with -- while Mabel and Greg happily sing and dance together like they were two souls in one body. It's through this friendship that Wirt learned of Bill Cipher -- who made Mabel go through a DealWithTheDevil [[spoiler:and causing Weirdmaggedon]] -- and has immediately been making sure ''not'' to cross paths with him or let Greg be anywhere ''near'' this one-eyed freak.
*** Wirt also learned to befriend Pacifica Northwest, especially since she had gone through [[AbusiveParents much worse]] than he had. He honestly praised her for standing up against her horrible parents to free everyone from the curse of the Lumberjack Ghost while Pacifica stated that Wirt wasn't half-bad for using simple logic to stop The Beast.
** The discussion of the two's herald came to a debate. On one hand there was Beatrice, a girl who cursed herself and her family into becoming bluebirds after she threw a rock at one from the Unknown. The other one was a girl named Sara [[spoiler:who was the impetus for Wirt and Greg's journey into the Unknown]]. The Court of Gods have decided that the two will be the Heralds with Beatrice (representing the Unknown) mostly being able to meet Wirt and Greg in her bluebird form [[spoiler:and it helps that Sara (representing the real world) also has had adventures in the Unknown alongside Wirt and Greg.]]

** Due to how his negligence for Greg's safety nearly lead to [[spoiler:Greg turning into an Edelwood Tree]], Wirt does ''not'' have good relations to all evil brothers and {{Aloof Big Brother}}s. The closest brother he can get along with in terms to 'normalcy' is Seto Kaiba...but even then Wirt had a lot to tell Kaiba about that "decision" to [[Anime/YuGiOhTheDarkSideOfDimensions enter the underworld for a single duel]] and leaving his little brother alone to run a company until his return (if he ever ''did'' return...). Kaiba has nothing to say to Wirt in regards to it except at the very least Kaiba really ''cares'' for his little brother whereas Wirt was already irritated at Greg to begin with and didn't care for the boy's safety when they traversed the Unknown, not to mention that Wirt blamed ''every single problem with his life'' (especially the reason why the entered the Unknown in the first place [[spoiler:when it was really Wirt's inability to confront his crush about his mixtape]]) on Greg, who was nothing but loving and supportive (although somewhat ditzy). Wirt had to admit that [[JerkassHasAPoint Kaiba is 100% accurate at all points]].
*** His relationship with Mokuba was a little bit better after Wirt learned more about the Kaiba brothers' situation...and then looked in horror when he found out their adoptive father was also in the Pantheon. Wirt has decided that he's going to be support for Mokuba because hey, Wirt may not like how his mom married Greg's father, but Greg's father is at least ''supportive'' of his step-son.
*** Wirt also got along better with Katsuya Jounochi since Jounochi is a supportive older brother for his sister. Wirt was amazed at Jounochi's determination: from fighting off mind control to even ''waking up after sent into a coma'', Wirt hopes that he'll find that type of resilience one day. Jounochi states that it'll come, and at the very least Wirt is now learning to be a better older brother.
*** Another AloofBigBrother that Wirt avoids is Matt Hardy, especially after he heard how BROKEN Matt Hardy corrupted his brother to become Brother Nero. Wirt may be annoyed with Greg but he's not ''that'' much of a bully. Doesn't help that Matt can flip-flop between normal and BROKEN at the drop of a hat.
** Wirt may not like to admit it, but he's really good at playing clarinet and even the bassoon. He's been coerced by various gods to practice in the House of Music, but he's declined for now. This shyness made him friends with Fluttershy as she's known to have a beautiful singing voice, but she's working slowly to performing for large crowds. The two are working on performing with one another in the future.
*** He's quite knowledgeable about architecture, interior design and fashions from the 18th to 20th century so he's glad to find historical figures from those time periods. He sometimes goes to the House of Costumes to help with historical accuracy on outfits and aids the Master Builders whenever they have to repairs for temples based on those styles.
** Wirt dislikes gods who DealWithTheDevil since [[spoiler:The Beast nearly tricked him to be the lantern bearer in exchange for Greg's safety]] and all gods who practice DespairEventHorizon because [[spoiler:that's how The Beast preys on his victims]]. Upon learning about the Dementors, Wirt immediately put them on the top of his "Must avoid" list. He's pitied many of the Puella Magi who made contracts only to find out what happens to them when they fall into despair.
*** And then he learned of Exdeath, the God of Evil Trees as Wirt was reminded of [[spoiler:The Beast's true form of some unholy spawn made out of Edelwood Trees aka humans who have fallen into despair]] and Wirt is doing his best to not cross Exdeath's path at all. This also includes Specimen 8, a deer-like entity that resemble said Beast.
*** As Wirt was getting used to his surroundings, he met up with Treebeard and nearly had a heart attack. Treebeard looked in confusion because he mistook Wirt for [[Creator/ElijahWood Frodo Baggins]]. He was interested to know the story of how he and Greg entered the Unknown and praised Wirt for using his wits to outwit the Beast and end his reign of terror once and for all. Another tree-deity that Wirt has become accustomed to is Trevenant after Wirt learned to look past Trevenant's appearance. Greg likes hanging out with Trevenant and it helps that Trevenants are really friendly when you get to know them. Whenever Wirt and Greg decide to explore the House of Plants, a few Trevenants will join as bodyguards. Trevenant will also help them should Gourgeist ever try to trick them again.
*** A third tree deity was that of Groot, after Greg spotted Rocket Raccoon and wanted to hug him (as Greg thought he was a living version of his stuffed animal Robber Raccoon). Wirt's conversation with Groot was awkward (it took a while for Wirt to learn that the only thing he can hear Groot say is "I am Groot") but the gentle tree-alien has given Wirt and Greg multiple gifts like flowers and glowing spores for their temple at night. Wirt also gained kinship with Peter Quill as [[spoiler:both of them were kids from the 1980s]] so Wirt has seen Quill like an older brother since they have a mixtape that is associated with a female in their lives. Wirt has done his best to help Quill move on from [[spoiler:the death of Gamorra and then having to deal with a time-displaced version of her who never gained the CharacterDevelopment and RelationshipUpgrade the original had.]]

** Greg's well-known song is "Potatoes and Molasses"", and he's even taught this song to a couple of gods in the House of Music to the point of him making beneficiary concerts for the Elysium Academy.
*** A god that has become close to Greg is Voltaire who has played [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=bTyiddyIe9k this song]] so that Wirt and Greg will be able to conquer their fears.

** One day, Greg found the cutest little animal: a white weasel with pink eyes. '''Every single god within the vicinity''' pulled Greg away from Kyubey before the boy was asked to make a contract. Wirt was ''horrified'' to learn what Kyubey has done for thousands upon thousands of girls and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness will join in on killing Kyubey on sight]] if he ever tries to make a "contract" with Greg.
*** On the flip side, many gods were amazed to learn of Greg's SelflessWish for [[spoiler: him to bargain with The Beast so Wirt can go home safely and completing the Beast's "tasks" while not giving up and even when he was starting to become an Edelwood Tree all he asked Wirt was to return a pet rock he "stole" from his next-door neighbor.]] This gave Greg the utmost respect from Madoka Kaname and even Homura Akemi couldn't help but smile a little.
