->'''Played by:''' Andy Bradford

A 00 agent who investigated Orlov's jewels smuggling network in Octopussy's circus using a clown disguise. He was chased by Mischka and Grischka and fatally wounded by Grischka's throwing knife at the beginning of the film. Had just enough time to bring a stolen Fabergé egg to the British ambassador in West Berlin before succumbing, kicking off the plot.

* {{Determinator}}: Not even getting fatally wounded by Grischka stops him from delivering the stolen Fabergé egg.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: His investigation and circus infiltration is never shown.
* HeroicSacrifice: All things considered, he saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
* ImDyingPleaseTakeMyMacGuffin: As he is dying, he gives the Fabergé egg to the British ambassador.
* InTheBack: Receives Grischka's throwing knife in the back.

->'''Played by:''' Michaela Clavell

A MI-6 secretary and assistant to Moneypenny.

* FlowersOfRomance: Bond arrives at Universal Exports with a bouquet of carnations; he hands a single red carnation to Moneypenny... and the remainder of the bouquet to Miss Smallbone.
* NiceGirl: From what little is seen about her, she's a very demure young woman, especially in contrast to Moneypenny's SassySecretary. Might be also why Moneypenny feels compelled to caution her about Bond's advances.
* PunnyName: Penelope ''Smallbone''. As if that name wasn't bad enough, at one point, Lois Maxwell (Moneypenny) flubbed it and called her Penelope Small''bush''.
* SexySecretary: While she's not portrayed as a sexpot, she's an extremely lovely secretary.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Despite her name sounding like a bad pun, Smallbone is actually named after a real person: She's named after one of the models in the opening credits of ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Moneypenny introduces her saying that she's training her to become her successor.[[note]]In fact, reports at the time indicated that the character was created as a potential replacement for Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny.[[/note]] She doesn't appear in the following film, and Moneypenny would be instead replaced via her actress being recast like Bond.

->'''Played by:''' Tina Hudson

A MI-6 agent who aids Bond when he arrives to an unnamed Latin American country for a mission in the pre-credits sequence. She initially is there to provide Bond with a disguise (complete with a fake moustache), but when 007's cover is blown, she catches up with the paratrooper guards driving away with a captured Bond in her Jeep and flashes her bare thighs to distract them. Seizing the opportunity, Bond pulls the rip cords on the guards' parachute harnesses, ejecting them from the vehicle. Before Bond escapes in an Acrostar minijet hidden in the back of the Jeep's horse trailer, he kisses Bianca goodbye and says that he will meet her in Miami.

* FanserviceExtra: She's in the movie briefly and gives copious amounts of {{Fanservice}}, but in a subversion of the usual role she gets a name and also plays a pivotal role in helping Bond.
* OnlyOneName: She is only known as Bianca.
* ShowSomeLeg: Literally; after Bond is captured, she drives alongside the truck Bond and the guards are in and pulls up her skirt, showing her thighs, and while the guards are distracted, Bond reaches out and yanks the ripcords on the soldiers' chutes. The chutes deploy and the soldiers go flying off the back of the truck.
* {{Sideboob}}: She gives a healthy amount of this during her ShowSomeLeg gambit.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's only in the film during the pre-credits sequence, but it is thanks to her that Bond escapes capture while on his mission during said sequence.
* SpicyLatina: She certainly presents the image, being a dark-skinned woman who operates in a Latin American country and isn't adverse to being flirtatious (even if it's only as a ploy).

[[caption-width-right:291:''" I don't have a country, no price on my head. I don't have to answer to you, a paid assassin, for what I am."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/MaudAdams

A mysterious woman living on an island near Delhi with her AmazonBrigade. She made her wealth in jewels smuggling. Kamal Khan manipulates her in order to smuggle jewels out of USSR and uses her circus to hide a nuclear bomb and detonate it once the circus gets close to a NATO base in West Germany.

* AllThereInTheManual: Her full name is Octavia Charlotte Smythe (though Smythe was her father's family name, which was mentioned in the movie).
* AgeGapRomance: She's one of the ''very few'' late Moore-era Bond girls who is not excessively younger than Bond. Even though Maude Adams is still 18 years younger than Creator/RogerMoore and 38 at the time of the filming, she is the third oldest Bond girl he had ever met in a movie.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: After stopping Kamal Khan's evil plan, Bond travels to India and grabs the wings of an aeroplane to save Octopussy from the villain.
* AnimalMotifs: The symbol of her smuggling network is a blue-ringed octopus.
* CharacterTitle: Her name gives the film its title.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Not only does her father's death help a lot with the whole "mysterious woman living on an island with her AmazonBrigade" thing, but the circumstances behind his death made her have knowledge of Bond beforehand.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father's backstory.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Set up as one half of a BigBadDuumvirate with Kamal Khan, until he betrays her and she pulls a HeelFaceTurn.
* FemmeFatale: Especially during the film's first half where she is still very much a MysteriousWoman. It's also shown that she favours using Magda for this, as shown with Bond.
* GirlOfTheWeek: The main Bond Girl of this film.
* HeelFaceTurn: When she discovers that Kamal swapped the jewelry treasure with a nuclear bomb that nearly blew her and an entire base of innocent people up to let Russia into the West, she immediately joins [=MI6=] in confronting Kamal.
* LadyOfWar: During the final battle, she briefly fights mooks with a talwar.
* MayDecemberRomance: Creator/MaudAdams was 18 years younger than Roger Moore, but her mature personality and demeanor, coupled with the fact that the couple has several romantic scenes throughout the film, hide this fact. Very different from what happened with Creator/CaroleBouquet in ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' and Creator/TanyaRoberts in ''Film/AViewToAKill'', where Bond's relationship with them seemed more of father and daughter, with the only sex scene in both cases occurring at the end of the movie.
* MeaningfulName: Her father loved studying octopuses. And she keeps a venomous blue-ringed octopus as a pet in an aquarium.
* MsFanservice: Busily skinny-dipping as Bond infiltrates her island, and emerges in the nude before wrapping in a towel as she goes off to greet Bond.
* MysteriousWoman: Very much especially during the film's first half.
* YouKilledMyFather: Subverted. She is actually grateful to Bond for allowing her father to commit suicide, as it saved her father the shame of a military trial (Bond was tasked with arresting him, and gave Maj. Smythe 24 hours to settle his affairs).

[[folder: Magda]]

[[caption-width-right:290:''"He suggests a trade. The egg for your life."'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/KristinaWayborn

Octopussy and Kamal Khan's main henchwoman and circus director. She helps Kamal Khan to retrieve the Fabergé egg but ends up fighting on Bond's side after the nuclear bomb disposal.
----
* ActionDressRip[=/=]BattleStrip: During the climactic battle, when she whips off her sari and uses it as an ImprovisedWeapon.
* ActionGirl: The one who most convincingly kicks ass in the assault in the climax.
* AmazonBrigade: The leader of Octopussy's Amazon Brigade.
* BellyDancer: Poses as one in the climax to disctract Kamal's guards.
* DarkActionGirl: While she is still on the villains side.
* TheDragon: To Octopussy, and somewhat to Khan.
* FemmeFatale: Pulls this on Bond in order to steal the Fabergé Egg.
* HeelFaceTurn: Initially Magda is one of Kamal Khan's villainous henchmen, but after he betrays her and Octopussy, she joins Bond against him.
** Magda is one of the few Bad Bond girls who sleeps with Bond but doesn't undergo the turn because of it. She turns from Heel to Hero because of her UndyingLoyalty to her mistress Octopussy.
* HoneyTrap: Does one to Bond in order to steal the Fabergé Egg. Bond is fully aware of this, allowing her to steal it because he'd left a bug/tracker inside it.
* LadyOfWar: Becomes a ferocious fighter in the climax.
* MsFanservice: Her bed scene is quite revealing (for a franchise so well known for its fanservice, bed scenes tend to be rare on this). Especially the way she escapes Bond: she ties one end of the sari she's wearing to a balustrade and jumps off a balcony, descending to safety as it unravels, leaving her in her underwear.
* OnlyOneName: She is only referred to by her first name, Magda.
* SacrificialLion: Averted. Magda 1) is a major character, 2) whom Bond first meets on the mission, 3) and has sex with, 4) but she's not the main Bond girl. These 4 traits combined would normally spell death for a character, but Magda lives, thanks to her HeelFaceTurn.
* SexFaceTurn: Averted. Magda has sex with Bond in the middle of the film, but she only changes sides at the end of the film out of loyalty to Octopussy and after finds out that she has been betrayed by Kamal.
* ShesGotLegs: Her dresses tend to put an emphasis on this, such as her dress as circus director.
* StageMagician: As Octopussy's circus director, she does some tricks to the officials who attend the show.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her BellyDancer outfit in the climatic battle.
* SupportingLeader: In the climax battle.
* TheVamp: Despite not being completely evil, while working for Khan, Magda seduces Bond so that she may steal the Faberge Egg.

* TheEvilPrince: Obviously. He's allied himself with Orlov in order to get stolen Kremlin jewels.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Loves tigerhunting on elephant back ... particularly when the "tiger" is a human.
-->'''Kamal:''' Let the sport ''[[GratuitousFrench commence]]''!
* ManipulativeBastard: Manipulates Octopussy in order to smuggle jewels out of USSR and uses her circus to hide a nuclear bomb and detonate it once the circus gets close to a NATO base in West Germany, leaving her, her AmazonBrigade and thousands others to die.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Fittingly for a prince.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: After capturing Bond and imprisoning him in the Monsoon Palace, he invites him for dinner. In a twist, rather than attempt any semblance of cordiality, he discusses [[ToThePain how he wants to torture Bond]], and the dish served (sheep head) proves to be a little too exotic for Bond's tastes.
* ProfessionalGambler: Loves playing backgammon.
* SmugSnake: Very self assured and confident.

->'''Played by:''' Creator/StevenBerkoff

A mad Soviet general who wants to conquer Western Europe with the help of Kamal Khan.
----
* BigBadDuumvirate: With Kamal Khan.
* ChewingTheScenery: His ''glorious'' briefing scene at the beginning of the movie.
* ClassicVillain: Greed. A corrupt GeneralRipper, his plans to dominate Western Europe are solely driven by a thirst for more power and glory, body count be damned.
* EvilIsHammy: One of the most unhinged villains in the series, largely thanks to Berkoff's trademark intensity.
* GeneralRipper: An absolutely insane and bloodthirsty Soviet general.
* GloryHound: Gogol thought of him as a crooked and power-mad GeneralRipper.
-->'''Gogol:''' ''[contemptuously]'' A common thief. A disgrace to the uniform!\\
'''Orlov:''' Yes, but tomorrow, I shall be a hero of the Soviet Union... ''[despite his pain, [[GoOutWithASmile Orlov smiles faintly]], and then dies]''
* GoOutWithASmile: He smiles faintly before dying.
* IcyBlueEyes: Just look into his eyes.
* InTheBack: Orlov ultimately gets shot repeatedly by East German border soldiers while trying to board the train, and Gogol doesn't stop the shooter in time.
* KarmicDeath: He is gunned down by East German border guards, who thought he was defecting to West Germany.
* LargeHam: Much like his [[Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII later villainous Soviet character in another installment of an iconic action film franchise]], Berkoff's fake Russian accent is over the top.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Much like his [[Film/RamboFirstBloodPartII later villainous Soviet character in another installment of an iconic action film franchise]], he sounds more like a stereotypical Nazi interrogator, complete viz ze inability to pronounce a "th" sound.
* OmnicidalManiac: Is willing to see hundreds of thousands of people killed by a nuke and risk a nuclear war for his dream to come true.
* PsychoticSmirk: Just look at the image above.
* PsychopathicManchild: A hybrid of Type B and C. He's a high-ranking Soviet general, but the way he hurls rude insults and sulks back to his seat after being criticized for his power-hungry plans to invade Europe is very similar to a child being told no.
* RedScare: Interestingly, he's one of the last few to be this, as the Cold War was beginning to die down by the time the film was made. This is shown in his introductory scene, where the Politburo disagrees with him, and the other Soviet leaders are more interested in making peace with the West, making Orlov a RenegadeRussian.
* RenegadeRussian: A treacherous Soviet military general, he goes against the beliefs of most of his superiors and plots with Kamal to kill thousands.
* ShadowArchetype: A crooked and treacherous GloryHound, Orlov is essentially what General Gogol could have been had he chose to become bloodthirsty and lustful for power. Unlike Gogol, who remains an important Bond ally to stop Orlov's scheme, Orlov is even [[RenegadeRussian willing to betray]] his own country by plotting with Kamal Khan to kill millions of innocents in his power-hungry plans to invade Western Europe.
* TheSociopath: An unhinged brute and maniac to boot, he isn't bothered by the fact that his intended bombing of a US base will kill thousands of civilians and trigger WorldWarIII.
* WouldHurtAChild: He's willing to see countless innocents, including children, killed by nuking a US military base in West Germany and doesn't flinch a bit.
* YoureInsane: Courtesy of General Gogol. And even the Politburo was visibly disgusted by his plans to invade Western Europe just for personal gain.
