Biography
Wayland was born on March 5th, 2024 in Jersey City, New Jersey to father Maddox (b. 1990), a preschool teacher, and mother Judy (b. 1991), a puppeteer and filmmaker. When he was just 1, he and his family moved to Manhattan, New York.

Wayland first got into puppets when he was three years old when his mother would put on puppet shows for him at home. Wayland also watched various TV programs using puppets ranging from Lamb Chop's Play-Along, Sesame Street, and LazyTown.

Judy made him a degu puppet modeled after the family's pet degu Squeakers as a birthday present when Harris turned 6 years old. Harris called the degu puppet Dagmar and added a flower accessory to distinguish the puppet from Squeakers.

From that point on, he performed puppet shows featuring Dagmar to entertain his family and friends, including Ed Cap. By the time he turned nine years old, he began crafting new puppets with the help of his mother and using them alongside Dagmar in performances.

Personality
Harris is ambiverted, smart, supportive, protective, cautious and gentle, spending equal amounts of time alone and with friends. However, he doesn't like to attack people physically, verbally or emotionally, and isn't a very good athlete. He dislikes mean people such as Samuel the Otter and Dennis Cap, but wouldn't go as far as to actually hurting them in any way.
