History Characters / AdventuresInOdysseyMainSupportingCast

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: To rival Eugene, though, probably due to her superior social skills, mostly when talking ''to'' Eugene.

* WomenAreWiser: She tends to be more practical and level-headed than Eugene.

** Whit has to do this for him in “Exactly As Planned” when Tom is charged with blowing up the Novacom tower on his property and can’t remember enough of what happened to him for a not-guilty plea. Tom’s defense attorney, Michael Frazier, decides that the best route would be an insanity plea in which Novacom is exposed, with their criminal actions used as an explanation for why Tom would blow up the tower. Whit investigates the tower instead, and discovers the actual culprit: [[spoiler:Arthur Dent]].

* BreakUpToMakeUp: Invokes this in “The Turning Point”, where she leaves Odyssey in order to get Eugene away from her influence long enough for him to make a decision about his faith.

* BadassBaritone: Not as pronounced as Regis’s, but it still shows.

* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Eugene. To no one’s surprise, TheyDo; first they get married at her father’s bedside moments before his death, then they have a ceremony for all their loved ones in Odyssey upon their return.

* TheNameIsBondJamesBond: Introduces himself to Mustafa this way in “A Name, Not A Number, Part 1”.

* TheStrategist: Is often the one to come up with a plan.
* TooCleverByHalf: During the Blackgaard Saga.

* GrumpyOldMan[=/=]GrumpyBear: Frequently complains about how kids don’t get taught properly by their parents, but he also has good relationships with almost all the kids around town.

* {{Meganekko}}: In official artwork, anyway.

* BelatedBackstory: In “A Question About Tasha”, Jack relays to Connie that as a young Christian, he made the reckless decision to marry a non-Christian, and after a spiritual epiphany, he spent the rest of his life either trying to convince her to become a Christian or attending church with her knowing that she didn’t believe it. Eventually, a stroke robbed her of movement and speech, and he spent her last moments in one last desperate attempt to lead her to Christ, the outcome of which he will never know until he himself reaches heaven.
** He spends all of “Home Sweet Home” preparing to leave Odyssey just as Whit returns; the next episode, “Clara”, is the one where he explains why: when Jack ran an orphanage in Nebraska, Whit came and stayed with him for a while after Jenny died, befriending a little girl named Clara in the process. He wanted to adopt her, but Jack went ahead and let a young couple adopt her instead, arguing that Whit was projecting his grief onto the issue of adopting her and that she needed a two-parent home that Whit could not give. Whit lets Clara go, but is furious with Jack for going behind his back and refuses to talk to him for years. Thankfully, he and Whit make up in that episode, both apologizing to one another for their actions.
** He comments in "For Whom the Wedding Bells Toll" that Whit always got girlfriends by stealing them away from him, then adds, "How do you think Whit met Jenny?". This is finally fleshed out in "The Triangle", where Whit and Jack tell Connie the story, that Whit first met Jenny when she was dating Jack, but she fell in love with Whit instead as they spent more time together.

* HiddenDepths: See Belated Backstory.
