* FashionDesigner: Being a Lab Director, Oona is very skilled in making clothes. She has a large collection of outfits from all sorts of time periods, sorted by the period, the wearer, color, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking region of the solar system]]. According to her, sewing is part of the required training for Head Scientists, which explains why other Lab Directors, like O'Quinncy and Oscar, also have tailoring skills.

[[folder:Todd]]
One of Odd Squad's most consistent and most threatening foes. A former Investigation agent of Precinct 13579, he is directly responsible for the pienado that contaminated and nearly killed hundreds of agents, although how he got to that point is a little different than how it all started in canon.
* ChildProdigy: Just like in canon, he is very skilled in math and often takes the helm on cases, leaving Olive in the dust.
* ClassifiedInformation: The pienado incident, as well as his FaceHeelTurn in general, is a taboo subject in Precinct 13579. Not even Olive herself knows the full story of what happened to him -- the only one who knows is Oprah. It extends to the point where it's taboo to even mention his ''name.''
* FoodSlap: He is on the receiving end of a [[PieInTheFace pie to the face]] when Olive rejects him, as she gives him back the Oreo creme pie he had been offering her. It has so much force behind it that he stumbles backwards and his head collides with the concrete floor, leaving him stunned for a few moments before he gets up and promptly declares his revenge.
* InformedJudaism: At one point in ''Ships Ahoy!'', he mentions to Olive that he's Jewish. However, he still has a craving for bacon when he gives himself a pig nose.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He is right that Oscar is too busy to spend time anymore, with his supposed "long-term case" that is supposedly a rumor come true -- even if Olive hates to admit it.
* LoveTriangle: He's in one with Olive and Oscar. He loves Olive, although it's unrequited and she instead gives him a rejection. Oscar believes Olive loves Todd, even though she doesn't.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: The Blobisite he releases, which is documented in ''Olive's Last Partner'', becomes a RelationshipSalvagingDisaster for Olive and Oscar, as they both spar with each other and then eventually make up.
** In addition, him pulling a WoundedGazelleGambit during the O Games also helps Otto realize his true feelings for Opal, and they eventually enter a slow but steady relationship.
* NotGoodWithRejection: Similar to Oprah, Todd does not take rejection well. Specifically, Olive pointing out his flaws, followed by her slamming a pie into his face, is the final straw for his FaceHeelTurn and causes him to eventually unleash the pienado on the precinct.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Has an older sister named Onya who he attended the Odd Squad Academy with. She taught him about phone numbers and addresses.
* {{Yandere}}: Todd starts slipping into, and eventually falls into, being this. While Oscar is away solving cases and repairing gadgets in preparation for his Lab Director position, Todd decides to be Olive's unofficial partner, having developed feelings for her and wanting her to love him back. She notes that he flips between being genuinely nice to her and bullying her so frequently that she can't tell whether he's being nice or mean at times, and it's made abundantly clear that whatever love he has for her is one-sided. It doesn't help that he starts doing odd things that make her question him, but she never puts two and two together until he shows her a gadget he's made that can create any nose he desires, and she realizes that he likes her. In Chapter 21 of ''Ships Ahoy!'', she rejects him, and although she realizes she's made things worse, it's still the last straw that makes him undergo a FaceHeelTurn and become evil, harming Olive and her coworkers with a pienado just like in canon.

[[folder:O'Donahue]]
An Investigation agent who worked for Precinct 13579. Olga's and Oprah's ex-boyfriend, he is the catalyst for Oprah's HeartbrokenBadass status, as they have been closely bonded since Oprah's fruit stand days.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: In ''Ships Ahoy!'', he gets drunk on unicorn tears and ends up hanging with a crowd of people who get into a car with a DrunkDriver. The fun night comes to a swift end when said driver gets into an accident with casualties and injuries galore, and O'Donahue is taken to the hospital with no severe injuries.
* AmicableExes: Even after breaking up with Oprah, he is still on friendly terms with her, and even calls her up in Chapter 41 of ''Ships Ahoy!'' to ask if she wants to see a movie with him.
* BreakUpMakeUpScenario: He originally broke up with Oprah because she became too overwhelmed with work and had no time available to see him, unlike what Olesya had promised him. By the end of ''Ships Ahoy!'', they decide to become boyfriend and girlfriend again.
* CharacterDevelopment: At the beginning of ''Ships Ahoy!'', he was shy and submissive, especially around the more domineering Olga. Once she is gone and he becomes partners with Oprah, his true personality of being witty and upbeat only comes out every once in a while. It's not until he vents to Oprah about Olga that he decides to embrace his true personality, becoming a more outgoing ChickMagnet.
* DancingRoyalty: Terrible at square dancing and doing the waltz, but can dance incredibly well to rock n' roll music.

--> '''O'Donahue''': I dunno! It just sort of happened! Unreal, right?
* DoggedNiceGuy: Starts out as this, repeatedly asking Oprah to join Odd Squad so she can become his partner. He gets shot down every time, but eventually, she decides to join, and the two start dating.
* ICantDance: Unable to do the square dance and the waltz. This doesn't put him in the best of circumstances during Square Dance Night, where he proceeds to embarrass himself in front of the entire precinct on both the square dancing and the waltz sessions.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: O'Donahue grows his hair long at one point in ''Ships Ahoy!'', and it's made abundantly clear that Oprah and other agents don't like the change -- he's referred to as a "countercultural hippie" by one of them.
* NumberTwo: He once served as Oprah's advisor, with Olesya creating the position just for him (although it wasn't an officially-made position) so he could remain by Oprah's side and keep their relationship steady following her promotion to the Management department. Unfortunately for her, [[WeUsedToBeFriends it didn't work out as well as she had hoped it would.]]

An Investigation agent who once worked for Precinct 13579 during the late 1800s. Currently O'Donahue's former partner and ex-girlfriend (on her side only), she was manipulative and very overprotective of O'Donahue when the pair were dating, and would often deride Oprah in regards to her fruit stand.
----
* AggressiveCategorism: She is the reason why Oprah believes every Odd Squad agent is a SmugSuper who doesn't know anything about working hard -- all it takes is one appearance from her for the YoungEntrepreneur to go off.
* AlphaBitch: Just like her canon counterpart, she, as "the epitome of stuck-up, high-and-mighty Odd Squad agents", is a complete jerk to pretty much anyone and everyone. In particular, she wastes no time in belittling Oprah about her entrance exam.
* TheArtfulDodger: Downplayed. She still has a job working for Odd Squad, but she also makes a living stealing various other items.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She appears to be a sweet girl who just loves her boyfriend on the outside. Get her mad, though, and her far more nasty side will come out to play.
* {{Yandere}}: Ohoho, ''yes.'' She is manipulative and a MoodSwinger, going from seething rage to innocent sweetness on a dime, her rage comes out whenever she sees O'Donahue even so much as ''talk'' with another girl, and she believes herself to be in love with O'Donahue despite him clearly not loving her back. Since she is a wealthy child with famous lineage, no agent, not even O'Donahue himself, dares speak up against her lest they receive harsh consequences. In Chapter 8 of ''Ships Ahoy!'', O'Donahue tells Oprah just how abusive and just how evil Olga really was, even after she was fired.

She distanced me from most of the other agents, didn't want me talking to them, watching them, nothing. And she demanded constant praise from me, or she'd get upset and say I didn't know anything. Back then I thought it was all part of being a rookie agent. If I paid attention only to my partner and did whatever she said, I'd gain her trust and she'd relax her grip.

Otto.
* TheAllegedBoss: In ''The Gadgetmaker and the Elf'', Oona has trouble dealing with Owen, who [[ImplausibleDeniability doesn't believe Oscar is the President of the Scientists and she is his successor even though Owen was the one who apprehended the previous President]]. Even though she's the Lab Director, though, she doesn't assert her position over Owen, and thus, can't get the security footage she needs (at least not directly).
* ARoundOfDrinksForTheHouse: At Club 21, she decides to treat Olympia and Otis with a round of milkshakes on her. Olympia points out that the milkshakes are free, however, and all she says in response is, "Precisely!"
* TheChainsOfCommanding: ''The Gadgetmaker and the Elf'' takes place only a short few days after Oscar's promotion to President of the Scientists, with the equally-newly-promoted Oona struggling to function and cope now that her predecessor and mentor is gone.
* CrazyPrepared: She has molds made of everyone's ears, which helps in making earpieces for everyone to use in the plan.
* DissonantSerenity: Olympia mentions that if Oona is calm, then she's most likely freaking out and just isn't showing it.
* FaintInShock: Needless to say, if she spots Olive and Oscar sharing a kiss, she can and will faint.
* FashionDesigner: Being a Lab Director, Oona is very skilled in making clothes. She has a large collection of outfits from all sorts of time periods, sorted by the period, the wearer, color, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking region of the solar system]]. According to her, sewing is part of the required training for Head Scientists, which explains why other Lab Directors, like O'Quinncy and Oscar, also have tailoring skills.
* GadgeteerGenius: Of course, just like her canon counterpart.
* HoldingHands: She does this with Otis while she watches security camera footage of Olive and Oscar's breakup. Naturally, Otis wrenches his hand free when he starts to feel pain.
* InstantCostumeChange: When Oona's labcoat lapels are tugged, she can change into any outfit she desires. With this ability, she hasn't had to wash her clothes in months, something that Oprah, Otis and Olympia all grow unnerved by as they [[BackingAwaySlowly slowly back away from her]]. In Chapter 13 of ''Full Circle'', she uses the ability to dress herself up in an authentic 1950s-era dress, eliminating the need for her to make one.
* InstantWakingSkills: In Chapter 2 of ''The Gadgetmaker and the Elf'', Oona is woken up by Oprah shouting her name. The Scientist bolts immediately upright, then she sees who woke her up and hastily scrambles out of her chair.
* KidsDrivingCars: She can drive, but since she taught herself how to do so while actually doing it, she DrivesLikeCrazy, which unnerves Otis and Olympia as the former asks the latter if they're really okay with putting their own lives in the hands of an incompetent driver.

* ForgotAboutHisPowers: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Oona, who asks Oatmeal why she's afraid of the world outside her little city when she has SuperSpeed and SuperStrength.

* {{Lilliputians}}: Less than two inches tall, and yet brave enough to explore nearly everywhere in Headquarters without even getting remotely injured. Unfortunately, her small size means she can't join Odd Squad as an agent, as is her dream.

Humorously, despite the wacky universe Odd Squad takes place in, the angel and devil aren't visible or audible to anyone but Opal herself.
* GoshDangItToHeck: [[BorrowedCatchphrase Borrows Olive's "crumpets" catchphrase]] at one point before immediately realizing whose catchphrase it is.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Starts out as a [[TheComicallySerious comically serious]] character who has no idea what "fun" is. Enter resident [[ThePollyanna happy-go-lucky agent]] Otto, who enters a relationship with her and helps her open up.
* HeroismWontPayTheBills: Zig-zagged. She Opal gets a free Nerf gun from the manager at Chuck E. Cheese for curing him of polka-dot-itis, but she has to win a giant teddy bear the same way that everyone else does.
* ICanStillFight: She gets hit with a contaminated pie and knocked out. A few hours later, she wakes up, and the first thing she does is begin treating agents despite still being dizzy and poisoned herself.
* InformedPoverty: Subverted. It's stated in Chapter 6 that Opal used to be poor, living in an tiny apartment and often having to choose between paying tuition or paying the rent and bills, but is presumably much better off now that she works as an Odd Squad Doctor...that is, until her cousin was diagnosed with leukemia, and since her immediate family was unable to pay the hospital bills, Opal had to send quite a bit of money their way for treatment, which sends her far from her goal of wanting a bike to make getting to her apartment complex easier.

* AGoodWayToDie: Subverted in ''Olive's Last Partner''. He is well aware he's going to drown, but still hoists the much-shorter Olive up and out of the flood as much as possible anyway, and even when he's told that his efforts are being wasted, he declares his intentions of dying with the agent he loves doing the job he loves. However, he and Olive don't actually drown, and are saved by Otto last-minute.
* CannotSpitItOut: The entire plot of ''Ships Ahoy!'' hinges on his inability to tell her that he's planning on becoming a Lab Director, but wants to remain an Investigation agent and remain Olive's partner to help her reach her full potential, even after Oprah orders him to tell her numerous times.
* CantTakeCriticism: After filming an Odd Report with O'Connor, he sends the report to every agent's tablet for them to see.

* GadgeteerGenius: Just like his canon counterpart, he's skilled in making gadgets to the point where being a Lab Director is pretty much his destiny. Since his family disapproves of his career choice, however, he tries to seek out other careers, but Oprah continues to steer him towards various Lab Directors so he can learn about gadgetry.

* HeroicSacrifice: Oscar puts himself in the line of fire of the pienado to allow Olive to aim one last shot at it to stop it. Unlike in canon, however, the pies are explicitly stated to be contaminated, making the sacrifice far more lethal in nature. Luckily, he comes out of the massacre alive.

However, since his grandmother actively prevents him from being a scientist of any sort like his father, Oscar decides to try out different careers instead in the hopes of one sticking to him. Oprah still keeps sending him to different Lab Directors so they can convince him otherwise, and he eventually becomes the Lab Director after many trials and tribulations.

[[folder:Ori]]
The protagonist of ''O is for One of a Kind.'' An agent-in-training, he is taken under Olive and Otto's wing and promptly becomes a complete nightmare for both of them to take care of. However, his disobedience has a lot more under the surface than one would imagine.
* AmbiguousDisorder: This trope is perhaps the best way to describe his unique power, introduced in ''O is for One of a Kind''. He can understand people speaking to him with their mouths, but he can also understand things that they inadvertently manage to tell him, which is what he listens to. This allows him to simplify Obfusco's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness that other agents have a hard time understanding. It's a form of selective hearing that only he has, but it's never revealed whether he just has attention issues or some other disorder.
--> '''Ori''': I just know that, for as long as I can remember, I can...''hear'' things. Like, people might tell me things with their mouths, but then they "tell" (but not really "tell") me other things, too, and I ''hear'' {but not really "hear") it and so I do my best to listen to that. It wasn't even until the end of my time at the Academy that I slowly began to realize everybody else couldn't do it too.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: Although he causes massive grief for some agents, he really doesn't mean anyone (aside from villains, of course) any harm.
* NewMeat: Subverted. He's new and inexperienced, but he manages to defeat the Shapeshifter by turning her into her own AbsurdPhobia of ants-on-a-log.
* ShipTease: Gets a fair bit of it with Orchid, but they aren't as romantically involved as Olive and Oscar, Otto and Opal, or Oprah and O'Donahue.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: By [[IndividualityIsIllegal forcing agents to love, appreciate and understand math even if their skillset lies in another subject]], she causes Mariana Mag to perform a FaceHeelTurn and leads her on her StartOfDarkness.
* DisconnectedByDeath: A non-lethal variant. Oprah gets turned into her own personalized anagrammed object by Mariana Mag while she's on the phone with Otto and Oscar, meaning she can't tell them who Mariana really is.
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Downplayed. She knows about Oscar and Olive, as well as Otto and Opal, because of the security cameras placed around her Headquarters. She tells Oscar and Olive in ''Ships Ahoy!'', but in ''Opalescent'', she refuses to tell Opal because she knows she has a strong and stoic reputation to uphold.
* EveryoneHatesMathematics: Inverted. She loves mathematics -- she's the leader of an Odd Squad precinct, so it's practically a given -- but she despises the subject of language because words can be used to hurt and manipulate people for their own personal gain. Her hatred originally stemmed from Olga telling her that numbers had nothing to do with her fruit going missing back when she ran a fruit stand, but given her past with O'Donahue, it makes sense that she wouldn't be too fond of words as a concept.
* FirstNameBasis: She's referred to by "Oprah" instead of her title of "Ms. O" by numerous characters of high ranking. In ''Full Circle'', she gets upset at Oscar because he accidentally called her "Ms. O" and not by her actual name.

Being promoted to the Management department and becoming an Odd Squad Director though, is where it all went downhill -- the pressure and the mounting work as leader of the precinct causes her to drift apart from O'Donahue, and even though they try and spend some time together (up to and including making O'Donahue her NumberTwo), they never manage to recapture the love they once had. It eventually reaches a point where O'Donahue simultaneously quits his job while also breaking up with her, which ultimately caused her to grow into the TinyTyrannicalGirl everyone knows and caused her to develop mental illness of an unnamed sort where she has frequent breakdowns.

* HeelRealization: At the end of ''All Mixed Up!'', she realizes that Mariana Mag was right in stating that Odd Squad needed to broaden its horizons past mathematics and include other subjects in its repertoire.
* IndividualityIsIllegal: Oprah runs a very tight regime for her precinct -- if you prefer to deal with language rather than mathematics and don't eventually conform with being skilled at mathematics while leaving language behind, then she won't take too kindly to it. And if you rebel against her, then you can expect to face very dire consequences. This is what fuels Mariana Mag's StartOfDarkness in ''All Mixed Up!'', as Oprah scolds her for hanging out with Carlos too much despite her tasking her agent with language-based cases.
* RenaissanceMan: Invokes this on her entire precinct at the end of ''All Mixed Up!''. She opens up the precinct to cases involving subjects outside of math, meaning that if an agent is skilled in something that isn't mathematics and is assigned a case involving oddness and that subject, they have ample opportunity to solve it instead of being ignored or outright fired from Odd Squad.
* ItsAllMyFault: She fully takes the blame for Olive and Oscar nearly dying in the Boiler Room in ''Olive's Last Partner'', realizing that she should have realized the threat Blobisites had to humans and should have sent Olive and Otto with more backup. Part of this is because she never realized just how much of a DangerousWorkplace Odd Squad really was until Olive and Oscar's NearDeathExperience -- had they died, she and her precinct would have been criticized and put on severe blast until she forcefully stepped down from her Director position.
* JerkassBall: She forces Olive and Otto to eat every last egg salad pizza they've been gifted. Not only that, but her first action upon seeing them get sick and vomit on her office's carpet is to give them trash bins before ordering them to clean up their mess and not to come out of her office until they're done.

* TheMatchmaker: Shares this role with Otis, Oona, Olympia and Otto in ''Full Circle'', helping to hook Olive and Oscar back up.
* SaveTheVillain: At the end of ''All Mixed Up!'', she decides to turn Mariana Mag back to normal instead of destroying the Anagram-inator. This is part of what causes her to make a FaceHeelTurn.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Like her canon counterpart, she wears PurelyAestheticGlasses. Unlike her canon counterpart, however, she relies on them for reading.
* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: Since Odd Squad has a "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding the home lives of agents, Oprah isn't used to Olesya talking so freely about her life before she joined Odd Squad, and thus is horrified when Olesya tells her that both of her parents died shortly before she joined the organization.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Two Odd Squad agents hook up? She doesn't even bat a single eye, no matter how ludicrous the relationship is. The act only happens every few years, but the formula is still cookie-cutter -- two agents go out, one of them transfers or quits, and then they break up.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Oprah may be on the side of good and is incredibly skilled at mathematics, but wiping one of her own agents' memories for rebelling against Odd Squad because [[IndividualityIsIllegal she wasn't skilled at math and wanted to stick to the one subject she was skilled at]] can be seen by some as her taking things a step too far, even though the memories wiped only include where the victimized precinct is and how to get there.

* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: In ''All Mixed Up!'', Mariana Mag turns Oprah's coworkers into their own personalized anagrammed objects and turns parts of Headquarters into anagrammed objects. She offers a deal to Oprah -- if words and language are adopted into Precinct 13579's skillset, then she will turn everyone and everything back to normal. Oprah agrees, but when Mariana goes through with her end of the deal, Oprah reneges and sics her agents on Mariana, ordering them to destroy her Anagram-inator gadget and ordering her to reveal who built the gadget and who helped her. She also bans any agent from going to see Carlos again, demotes Oksana to the Food and Beverage department, and to top it all off, she takes Mariana's badge and wipes the part of her memory that reveals the location of Headquarters (which Mariana compares to the pain of lobotomy).

* EveryoneHasStandards: As badass and strong-headed as she is, seeing ''JustForFun/CandleCove'' for the first time renders her in a state of fear enough to actively avoid watching television for nearly an entire year, as doing so makes her too unnerved.

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. Oprah despises Odd Squad because she feels that all its agents do is brag about perks they get as government employees and brag about their feats of fighting oddness, and because of it, she is of the belief that hard work is the way to achieve her own goals.

* NotGoodWithRejection: O'Donahue breaking up with her and quitting his job at Odd Squad caused her to briefly become an EmptyShell that only remembers bits and pieces of what happened afterwards. The very next day, she turns into a TinyTyrannicalGirl with a HairTriggerTemper, and has stayed that way ever since.

He watches Oscar's interview being filmed, takes part in chasing down the logo of ''Series/OddSquad'' during the Creator/PBSKids version of its credits, and films an ''Odd Squad Needs You'' commercial along with Olive, Oscar and Oprah which is also attached to the show.
* BadLiar: He becomes one in ''Full Circle'', nearly letting TheMatchmaker plan slip out in front of Olive twice without her ever being the wiser.
* BenevolentBoss: Otto is very kind towards the agents he leads.
* BigEater: He has limits, but he can pack away a fair bit of food and has an appetite for just about anything that's edible.
--> '''Opal''': Do...you always eat this much? I mean- every meal, do you...always eat so much food?
--> '''Otto''': Only when I'm super-hungry. Which is usually all the time.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: In Chapter 8 of ''All Mixed Up!'', Otto borrows Olive's "Let's go" catchphrase. Oscar doesn't have the heart to point out exactly how the catchphrase is borrowed.
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Although his intelligence was upped over the course of Season 1 of the show, Otto is considerably more intelligent here -- his IQ alone is in the early one-hundreds.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: In Chapter 8 of ''All Mixed Up!'', Otto borrows Olive's "Let's go" catchphrase. Oscar doesn't have the heart to point out exactly how the catchphrase is borrowed.
* ChildProdigy: His IQ is incredibly high for being someone who was often distracted in school to the point where teachers tried to get him diagnosed with ADHD.
* CompetitionFreak: Becomes this in ''Opalescent'' as he frequently one-ups Opal in regards to their "get-togethers".
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Played with. Although he is an intelligent ChildProdigy, he was such a distracted child that he got tested to see if he could be diagnosed with ADHD. Doctors refused to diagnose him, and it's never stated whether he actually has ADHD, he has another disability entirely, or if he is neurotypical.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: In addition to [[ChickMagnet attracting girls,]] he also attracts quite a few guys.
* EveryoneHasStandards: BigEater he may be, but he is completely unable to stomach more than one-and-a-half egg salad pizzas and starts vomiting on Oprah's carpet.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Throughout ''All Mixed Up!'', Otto becomes suspicious of Mariana Mag and her aquarium, stating that something seems off with her. He's right -- and what's more, he ends up being the only person able to stop her at the climax.
* GeniusDitz: Otto may be a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, but his knowledge of anagrams and word problems is nearly unrivaled.
* GenkiGuy: He was very hyperactive when he was first hired onto Odd Squad and sent to Precinct 13579. His excitability manages to unnerve his ShrinkingViolet partner at first.
* GrandRomanticGesture: He loves Opal enough to team up with Oscar and get her a bike that she's always wanted but couldn't afford. She initially thinks it's from Otto himself, until the truth comes out.
* GreaserDelinquents: His outfit for 50s Night in ''Full Circle'' makes him look like one of these. He even goes so far as to consider buying a motorcycle before Olive shoots the idea down.
* HeroicBSOD: He goes through one in ''All Mixed Up!'' when Otto is turned into an anagrammed object by Mariana Mag. It takes Oscar using the MoralityChainFromBeyondTheGrave for him to snap out of it.
* HeroismWontPayTheBills: In ''Opalescent'', he and Opal go to Chuck E. Cheese, and has to win a rubber squid and buy a Shmumber-Choco bar using tickets like any other customer, even after curing an employee of Polka-Dot-itis.
* HiddenDepths: Otto loves rollercoasters and knows a fair bit about them.
** He is also skilled in solving anagrams, to such an extent that he is TheAce in it and manages to stop a villainess completely on his own with his knowledge.
** His knowledge of gemstones, exhibited in ''Opalescence'', is something he got from his cousin, who enjoys telling him about gemstones. His cousin's birthstone being an opal and his lover's name being Opal is what inspires him to start calling her [[TitleDrop opalescent.]]
* InstantSeduction: Pulls this on Opal at a laser-tag place, by way of backing her into a corner, caressed her chin while making intense eye contact with her, and shot her in the chest with his laser gun before walking away.
* InternalReveal: ''Ships Ahoy!'' and its plot is kicked off by Otto realizing that Olive and Oscar are in love with each other and being completely blown away.
* KeepingSecretsSucks: He tries to keep his relationship with Opal secret from Olive, but she manages to find out anyway because of his inability to keep secrets.
* LanguageBarrier: Otto is a Torontonian who works in Montreal, where, according to Olive, 56% of the population is bilingual and 67% prefer speaking French over English as their primary language. He speaks English and doesn't know any French, so he ends up feeling lost in ''Full Circle'' when Olive communicates with Oliver solely in French.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: His relationship with Olive. He views her as an older sister.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Serves as one for Olive.
* LongDistanceRelationship: Following his promotion to the Management department at the end of ''Opalescent'', he and Opal agree to let their relationship become one of these.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Does numerous idiotic things in front of Opal and ends up embarrassing himself many times over. And yet, she still loves him.
* LoveTriangle: More like a Love Way-Too-Many-Sided-Shape -- he's a ChickMagnet who attracts the attention of many girls and [[EvenTheGuysWantHim even some of the boys]]. However, the two girls that receive focus in regards to being attracted to him are Opal and Oksana.
* TheMatchmaker: Shares this role with Oprah, Olympia, Otis and Oona in ''Full Circle'' as he works to try and hook Olive back up with Oscar.
* NearDeathExperience: With a 725 to 1 chance of making it out of Sector 21 past sunset alive, he manages to do it.
* ObliviousToLove: Averted. He's able to pick up very quickly that Opal is in love with him. However, he struggles with figuring out when she started developing feelings for him and why she has feelings for him in the first place.
* OppositesAttract: A [[TheComicallySerious comically serious]] DefrostingIceQueen meets a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} [[ThePollyanna Pollyanna]] ChildProdigy. And it works!
* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's not as strong as Olive or Oprah, but he's able to, at the very least, break a board after receiving training from both O'Quinncy and Olive herself.

* SecretRelationship: He and Opal's attempt at having one of these ends up foiled by Olive (who forces them to out themselves like how she was outed as being in a relationship with Oscar) and Oprah (who has security cameras placed around Headquarters), but it's also foiled by [[KeepingSecretsSucks his sheer inability to keep secrets well.]]
* SuddenlyBilingual: In ''All Mixed Up!'', Otto is revealed to be able to read and understand Latin.
* SupremeChef: True to his BigEater status, he's a pretty well-off cook. The only cooking mishap he has is in ''Opalescent'' as the result of cooking three different foods at one time.
* TapOnTheHead: In ''All Mixed Up!'', he is knocked out from a blow to the head by the hexagonal platform in the Mathroom he lands on after he slides out of Mariana Mag's grasp. He wakes up only a few minutes later, almost completely unharmed aside from his paralysis.

* UltimateJobSecurity: According to Olive in ''Full Circle'', he's "not as qualified" to run his own precinct as his partner is, and has made numerous mistakes including leaving the door to the Robot Princess Room open (he couldn't latch the door), inadvertently setting the Breakroom on fire (he didn't know that giraffe's milk and loganberry juice was combustible when mixed with bran flakes) and set off the sprinkler system located in the Volcano Room which coated two entire weeks' worth of paperwork in orange juice (he didn't directly set it off, but he ''did'' approve the plans to have it installed in the room to begin with). Perhaps the only reason he hasn't gotten fired because of his LivingEmotionalCrutch status towards Olive...and Olive herself being an effective leader as a contrast.
* UndyingLoyalty: He is very loyal to Odd Squad and always seeks to put other agents' needs above his own. This carries into his role as a co-Director.
* YouAreInCommandNow: In ''All Mixed Up!'', he is left in charge of Precinct 13579 along with Olive and Oscar after Ms. O goes away on business.

[[folder:Olive]]
One of the main protagonists of the ''Ships Ahoy!'' universe. The former partner and girlfriend of Agent Oscar as well as a former Investigation agent of Precinct 13579, she currently runs an Odd Squad precinct in Mississauga as a co-Director along with her current partner, Agent Otto.
* AbsurdPhobia: Pies, of course, courtesy of Odd Todd. Her phobia of pies is what leads her and Oscar to nearly drown in ''Olive's Last Partner'', as a matter of fact.
* AndIMustScream: While she was a statue, she was completely unaware of her surroundings, meaning she didn't notice Oscar plant a kiss on her cheek as he and Otto walked by her.
* AnimatedActors: If the epilogue of ''Fanfic/OlivesLastPartner'' is to be believed, she is one. She watches Oscar's interview being filmed, takes part in chasing down the logo of ''Series/OddSquad'' during the Creator/PBSKids version of its credits, and films an ''Odd Squad Needs You'' commercial along with Otto, Oscar and Oprah which is also attached to the show. And that's not even mentioning the numerous bits of other MediumAwareness -- Olive doing voiceover work for the ''Odd Moments in History'' segments, Oscar recording the Training Videos, and Oscar and O'Connor sending in the ''Odd Reports'' segments they filmed together, among other things.
* BenevolentBoss: Always treats her agents with kindness and respect, and contrasts with Oprah in that she doesn't have the same tendency to yell as her former boss.
* BrokenTears: Ends up completely breaking down and crying on Oscar's shoulder after she tells him how hurt she was by his actions during the course of their rocky relationship. Of course, they're well-amplified by the fact that she faces an inevitable drowning.
* TheChainOfHarm: Ultimately why she doesn't tell Otto that Oscar was her first partner -- she doesn't want to hurt him the same way Oscar seemingly hurt her back then.
* EndearinglyDorky: Inverted. It's implied that Olive comes from a FriendlessBackground as a result of being a bookworm and a "[[PassionateSportsGirl sports nerd]]", and so she views Odd Squad as a place where she can reinvent herself.
* EtTuBrute: Gets hit with betrayal from both Oscar and Odd Todd. The former's betrayal ends up putting an even bigger strain on their budding relationship.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She may hate Oscar's guts, but she's not below giving sympathy to him when the concept of him getting fired comes up. She's also not below helping him when he's in dire straits.
* HeroicBSOD: She completely breaks down when Polly Graph tells her that Oscar had always wanted to be a Lab Director, not her partner. It only gets worse when she witnesses Oscar being promoted to the position with her own eyes, running to the Ball Pit and crying for hours.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She views Todd's nickname for her, "Scribbles", as cute, and praises him for paying attention to her and being nice to her -- a contrast she has with Oscar, who doesn't like Todd because he thinks something is off with him and doesn't like the way he's rude to her.
* InvoluntaryDance: She contracts the Skips disease at one point, which causes her to skip around in circles without feeling the need to eat, drink, go to the bathroom, or sleep. Oscar speeds up her recovery in spite of Dr. O's chastising, but it has no negative effects on her.
* IrrationalHatred: In the beginning of her budding relationship with Oscar, Olive despised Oscar with a burning passion. She would often insult him and berate him, both aloud and in her head, over a simple case of PoorCommunicationKills. This doesn't become the case when they make up and enter OfficialCouple status.
* JustFriends: Her relationship with Otto. A chapter of ''Ships Ahoy!'' titled "The Counterparts" would have explored their relationship and why them being boyfriend and girlfriend would never work out, but was never published. In Chapter 32 of ''Ships Ahoy!'', Oscar asks Olive if she ever saw Otto in a romantic light, and she tells him that she only sees him as her best friend and nothing more.
** This also ends up being her relationship with Oscar following their breakup at the end of ''Ships Ahoy!''
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Olive's memory of Todd's pienado attack is spotty, and when telling the story of the attack to Otto, Oscar has to help her fill in the gaps.
* LeaderWannabe: She wants to be promoted to the Management department, become an Odd Squad Director, and run her own precinct. When she tells Todd this, however, he laughs at her and says she's not good enough to become a Director.
* LifeOfTheParty: Inverted. Olive doesn't like crowded, boisterous parties, and would much rather do more low-key things with friends and family for her birthday. Oscar and Otto honor this by taking her to a bowling alley and having a three-man party in a rented party room.
* LoveTriangle: Enters one with Oscar and Todd beginning in Chapter 20 of ''Ships Ahoy!''
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Olive manages to keep her relationship with Oscar secret from Otto for a time, but is found out when Otto catches her resting her head in the crook of Oscar's arm. She then manages to find out about Otto's own relationship with Opal (Dr. O) and [[HypocriticalHumor immediately calls him out on his hypocrisy.]]
* MementoMacGuffin: In ''Olive's Last Partner'', she is revealed to have kept a [[FoodPills food pill]] that Oscar had made in spite of her hatred towards him. She ends up giving it to him at the end of the story.
* MistakenForCheating: Due to Oscar becoming Oprah's advisor, Olive believes that the two of them are dating and gets jealous that Oscar is spending more time with another girl than he is with her. However, their relationship is strictly professional.
* MistakenForGay: Oscar believes she's a lesbian after a SuggestiveCollision incident with Odie and cites that as the reason why she doesn't seem to like him back. Likewise, she thinks Oscar is gay.
* NearDeathExperience:
** In ''Olive's Last Partner'', she becomes a DeerInTheHeadlights upon seeing Oscar using a pie in an attempt to scare the Blobisite towards Otto and ends up slamming into the boiler, which breaks and floods the Boiler Room with orange juice. Under the belief that the door is locked, she and Oscar have no choice but to climb as high as they can to avoid the flood, which ends up ultimately failing as she gives her NotSoFinalConfession to Oscar. Luckily for her, Otto saves both of them at the last minute.
** Unlike in canon, Olive fully realizes that when she jumped out of an airplane while infected with the Skips, she very well could have died had Otto not saved her. Oscar is so shocked by this revelation that all he can do is pull her into a tight hug.
** Her fighting off Sector 21's twilight oddities with Otto is described as this, although she doesn't want to think about her dying from the incident. Even more miraculous is that the chances of surviving in the Sector past sunset are 725 to 1.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her AbsurdPhobia of pies and her DeerInTheHeadlights reaction to seeing one causes her to break the boiler in the Boiler Room, leading to her getting a head injury and leading to her and Oscar nearly drowning.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Her lack of communication with Oscar is what drives the plot of ''Ships Ahoy!'' Unfortunately for her, Oscar has the same issue.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her Director uniform is predominantly purple, and she is a part of the Management department. She is also one of the strongest of the main characters.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a ''very'' heavy-handed one to Oscar in Chapter 3 of ''Olive's Last Partner'' after reaching her RageBreakingPoint.
* RelationshipSalvagingDisaster: The events of ''Olive's Last Partner'' rekindle the love Olive and Oscar have for each other as they restart their relationship on better terms.
* RepressionNeverEndsWell: Olive's pain and agony that she has kept bottled up for months upon months in regards to Oscar not helping her on cases and seemingly abandoning her for the Lab ends up spilling over in ''Olive's Last Partner'', to such an extent that she tells Oscar that she wishes she was never partnered up with him. This causes him to become EmotionallyTongueTied as she delves into BrokenTears.
* SecretKeeper: She finds out about Otto's crush on Dr. O and keeps it secret from Oscar, Oprah, and Otto himself, for various reasons.
* SensoryOverload: The pienado attack caused her to develop ASPD [[note]]not antisocial personality disorder, although it's never revealed what the acronym stands for[[/note]] that makes her sensitive to loud noises. She has to take medication to control it.
* ShipperOnDeck: When she gets wind of Opal and Otto being in love with each other, she's completely on board with shipping them.
* ShrinkingViolet: She was painfully shy when she first began working at Precinct 13579 and was promoted to the Investigation department, to the point where she relied on the more experienced Oscar to help her out on cases. As she grew older, she became more headstrong and serious.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Olive rejects Odd Todd's advances because he is rude, brags about his own accomplishments, and puts others down solely for their own benefit -- all things that Oscar is not. [[NotGoodWithRejection He does not take this well.]]
* SuddenlyBilingual: The pie that gets lodged into Olive's ears causes her to develop the ability to understand French, Vietnamese, and the language of Lemon. It comes at a hefty cost, though, of developing ASPD.
* TakenForGranite: Gets turned into a statue during the disabling of the booby traps in Headquarters depicted in "Dance Like Nobody's Watching". By the time she gets turned back using the Un-Statue-inator, she is so drained of energy that she is left unable to walk without assistance.
* TapOnTheHead: Subverted in ''Olive's Last Partner''. The blast of orange juice from the boiler sends Olive colliding into a wall, which knocks her out cold. When she comes to, she tries to speak, but Oscar tells her she received a bad hit to the head, and then it's revealed that she has a painful lump on the side of her head from the impact. Aside from that, however, she suffers no other ill effects nor any brain damage.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Her signature drink as a Director is herbal tea.
* TrueCompanions: With Otto and Oscar, through thick and thin.
* UnknowinglyInLove: In ''Ships Ahoy!'', when Oscar mentions that the Truth-Sniffer-inator gadget is his favorite gadget, Olive gets butterflies in her stomach that she brushes off as nervousness as she tries to reassure herself that she has nothing to hide from him.

!!Agents
[[folder:Olive]]
One of the main protagonists of the ''Ships Ahoy!'' universe. The former partner and girlfriend of Agent Oscar as well as a former Investigation agent of Precinct 13579, she currently runs an Odd Squad precinct in Mississauga as a co-Director along with her current partner, Agent Otto.
* AbsurdPhobia: Pies, of course, courtesy of Odd Todd. Her phobia of pies is what leads her and Oscar to nearly drown in ''Olive's Last Partner'', as a matter of fact.
* AndIMustScream: While she was a statue, she was completely unaware of her surroundings, meaning she didn't notice Oscar plant a kiss on her cheek as he and Otto walked by her.
* AnimatedActors: If the epilogue of ''Fanfic/OlivesLastPartner'' is to be believed, she is one. She watches Oscar's interview being filmed, takes part in chasing down the logo of ''Series/OddSquad'' during the Creator/PBSKids version of its credits, and films an ''Odd Squad Needs You'' commercial along with Otto, Oscar and Oprah which is also attached to the show. And that's not even mentioning the numerous bits of other MediumAwareness -- Olive doing voiceover work for the ''Odd Moments in History'' segments, Oscar recording the Training Videos, and Oscar and O'Connor sending in the ''Odd Reports'' segments they filmed together, among other things.
* BenevolentBoss: Always treats her agents with kindness and respect, and contrasts with Oprah in that she doesn't have the same tendency to yell as her former boss.
* BrokenTears: Ends up completely breaking down and crying on Oscar's shoulder after she tells him how hurt she was by his actions during the course of their rocky relationship. Of course, they're well-amplified by the fact that she faces an inevitable drowning.
* TheChainOfHarm: Ultimately why she doesn't tell Otto that Oscar was her first partner -- she doesn't want to hurt him the same way Oscar seemingly hurt her back then.
* EndearinglyDorky: Inverted. It's implied that Olive comes from a FriendlessBackground as a result of being a bookworm and a "[[PassionateSportsGirl sports nerd]]", and so she views Odd Squad as a place where she can reinvent herself.
* EtTuBrute: Gets hit with betrayal from both Oscar and Odd Todd. The former's betrayal ends up putting an even bigger strain on their budding relationship.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She may hate Oscar's guts, but she's not below giving sympathy to him when the concept of him getting fired comes up. She's also not below helping him when he's in dire straits.
* HeroicBSOD: She completely breaks down when Polly Graph tells her that Oscar had always wanted to be a Lab Director, not her partner. It only gets worse when she witnesses Oscar being promoted to the position with her own eyes, running to the Ball Pit and crying for hours.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She views Todd's nickname for her, "Scribbles", as cute, and praises him for paying attention to her and being nice to her -- a contrast she has with Oscar, who doesn't like Todd because he thinks something is off with him and doesn't like the way he's rude to her.
* InvoluntaryDance: She contracts the Skips disease at one point, which causes her to skip around in circles without feeling the need to eat, drink, go to the bathroom, or sleep. Oscar speeds up her recovery in spite of Dr. O's chastising, but it has no negative effects on her.
* IrrationalHatred: In the beginning of her budding relationship with Oscar, Olive despised Oscar with a burning passion. She would often insult him and berate him, both aloud and in her head, over a simple case of PoorCommunicationKills. This doesn't become the case when they make up and enter OfficialCouple status.
* JustFriends: Her relationship with Otto. A chapter of ''Ships Ahoy!'' titled "The Counterparts" would have explored their relationship and why them being boyfriend and girlfriend would never work out, but was never published. In Chapter 32 of ''Ships Ahoy!'', Oscar asks Olive if she ever saw Otto in a romantic light, and she tells him that she only sees him as her best friend and nothing more.
** This also ends up being her relationship with Oscar following their breakup at the end of ''Ships Ahoy!''
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Olive's memory of Todd's pienado attack is spotty, and when telling the story of the attack to Otto, Oscar has to help her fill in the gaps.
* LeaderWannabe: She wants to be promoted to the Management department, become an Odd Squad Director, and run her own precinct. When she tells Todd this, however, he laughs at her and says she's not good enough to become a Director.
* LifeOfTheParty: Inverted. Olive doesn't like crowded, boisterous parties, and would much rather do more low-key things with friends and family for her birthday. Oscar and Otto honor this by taking her to a bowling alley and having a three-man party in a rented party room.
* LoveTriangle: Enters one with Oscar and Todd beginning in Chapter 20 of ''Ships Ahoy!''
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Olive manages to keep her relationship with Oscar secret from Otto for a time, but is found out when Otto catches her resting her head in the crook of Oscar's arm. She then manages to find out about Otto's own relationship with Opal (Dr. O) and [[HypocriticalHumor immediately calls him out on his hypocrisy.]]
* MementoMacGuffin: In ''Olive's Last Partner'', she is revealed to have kept a [[FoodPills food pill]] that Oscar had made in spite of her hatred towards him. She ends up giving it to him at the end of the story.
* MistakenForCheating: Due to Oscar becoming Oprah's advisor, Olive believes that the two of them are dating and gets jealous that Oscar is spending more time with another girl than he is with her. However, their relationship is strictly professional.
* MistakenForGay: Oscar believes she's a lesbian after a SuggestiveCollision incident with Odie and cites that as the reason why she doesn't seem to like him back. Likewise, she thinks Oscar is gay.
* NearDeathExperience:
** In ''Olive's Last Partner'', she becomes a DeerInTheHeadlights upon seeing Oscar using a pie in an attempt to scare the Blobisite towards Otto and ends up slamming into the boiler, which breaks and floods the Boiler Room with orange juice. Under the belief that the door is locked, she and Oscar have no choice but to climb as high as they can to avoid the flood, which ends up ultimately failing as she gives her NotSoFinalConfession to Oscar. Luckily for her, Otto saves both of them at the last minute.
** Unlike in canon, Olive fully realizes that when she jumped out of an airplane while infected with the Skips, she very well could have died had Otto not saved her. Oscar is so shocked by this revelation that all he can do is pull her into a tight hug.
** Her fighting off Sector 21's twilight oddities with Otto is described as this, although she doesn't want to think about her dying from the incident. Even more miraculous is that the chances of surviving in the Sector past sunset are 725 to 1.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her AbsurdPhobia of pies and her DeerInTheHeadlights reaction to seeing one causes her to break the boiler in the Boiler Room, leading to her getting a head injury and leading to her and Oscar nearly drowning.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Her lack of communication with Oscar is what drives the plot of ''Ships Ahoy!'' Unfortunately for her, Oscar has the same issue.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her Director uniform is predominantly purple, and she is a part of the Management department. She is also one of the strongest of the main characters.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a ''very'' heavy-handed one to Oscar in Chapter 3 of ''Olive's Last Partner'' after reaching her RageBreakingPoint.
* RelationshipSalvagingDisaster: The events of ''Olive's Last Partner'' rekindle the love Olive and Oscar have for each other as they restart their relationship on better terms.
* RepressionNeverEndsWell: Olive's pain and agony that she has kept bottled up for months upon months in regards to Oscar not helping her on cases and seemingly abandoning her for the Lab ends up spilling over in ''Olive's Last Partner'', to such an extent that she tells Oscar that she wishes she was never partnered up with him. This causes him to become EmotionallyTongueTied as she delves into BrokenTears.
* SecretKeeper: She finds out about Otto's crush on Dr. O and keeps it secret from Oscar, Oprah, and Otto himself, for various reasons.
* SensoryOverload: The pienado attack caused her to develop ASPD [[note]]not antisocial personality disorder, although it's never revealed what the acronym stands for[[/note]] that makes her sensitive to loud noises. She has to take medication to control it.
* ShipperOnDeck: When she gets wind of Opal and Otto being in love with each other, she's completely on board with shipping them.
* ShrinkingViolet: She was painfully shy when she first began working at Precinct 13579 and was promoted to the Investigation department, to the point where she relied on the more experienced Oscar to help her out on cases. As she grew older, she became more headstrong and serious.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Olive rejects Odd Todd's advances because he is rude, brags about his own accomplishments, and puts others down solely for their own benefit -- all things that Oscar is not. [[NotGoodWithRejection He does not take this well.]]
* SuddenlyBilingual: The pie that gets lodged into Olive's ears causes her to develop the ability to understand French, Vietnamese, and the language of Lemon. It comes at a hefty cost, though, of developing ASPD.
