Dendy — hero

Dendy is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Carol) of OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. She is a young hero and works primarily with gadgets and technology. Her first introduction in the series was in the short, "Dendy", and her first episode appearance is in the episode "I Am Dendy".

She was voiced by Melissa Fahn, who also voices Rika Nonaka, Kristy Damon, and Nene Amano in the Digimon franchise, Mizuki Segawa in Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor, Clara/Glitter Clover in Glitter Force Doki Doki, Neptune in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise, Himawari Uzumaki in Boruto, Hello Kitty in Hello Kitty's Paradise, Lilo Pelekai in Stitch!, Betty Boop in her titular cartoon series, and Gaz Membrane in Invader Zim.

Physical Appearance

Dendy is a short and slim humanoid kappa and is almost as tall as K.O. and she has light green skin. She has short chin-length olive-brown hair in a bob cut, though as she ages, her hair becomes longer and chest-length. She wears light cyan prescription lenses in a pair of cerulean goggles due to having no external ears, a long-sleeve golden-yellow jumpsuit, and short sky blue ankle boots. She usually carries a teal-colored technological backpack (in the game OK K.O.! Lakewood Plaza Turbo, her backpack is colored orange) known as her Hack-pack. Her skin progressively gets greener as she ages, as seen in the time-skip of "Thank You for Watching the Show".

In Season 3, Dendy now wears a beret the same color as her backpack. It is revealed in "You're a Good Friend, KO" that she wears it to cover up the pond she was starting to form in her head, something she says that all Kappas start to form as they grow. She is self-conscious about it, but as she grows more comfortable with it, she keeps the beret because it looks cool. Her head pond contains a goldfish and a single lilypad.

Personality

Despite being a kappa like her parents, she has yet to show any of the physical characteristics other than her light green skin and webbed feet. It is possible that these characteristics will emerge as she ages, or she is a hybrid of some sort, especially since in the series proper. Dendy is very intelligent and driven and enjoys helping friends. The first friend Dendy made was K.O.; the two met when Dendy requested his help finding backpack supplies in "I Am Dendy" as an excuse to hang out with him. Dendy can seem a bit distant and does not seem to understand social norms, but is enthusiastic and kind once befriended. When pursuing a goal, she sometimes shows a lack of regard for others, as demonstrated in "I Am Dendy" when Dendy suggests dismantling Mr. Logic in order to get a glorb, or in the episode "Mystery Science Fair 201X", when she experiments on K.O. without a regard for his well being, simply to push him to his limit. Despite this, Dendy means well and is a truly wonderful kid, and wishes to develop beyond her current view of just science, and learn about how to be open with her emotions. Dendy also has a large collection of Pow Cards.

Powers and Abilities

As seen in the short, "Dendy", she has the ability to change objects into other objects, (ex. changing a tree into an elephant) with the use of her backpack. The backpack can also be used to alter the behaviors of objects, as shown when Dendy uses it to make the junkfish free K.O. in "I Am Dendy." Dendy may have invented the backpack, in which case she'd be a gifted inventor, but this is unclear. Dendy is also very intelligent and knows how to use and manipulate various technologies, as shown in "I Am Dendy" when Dendy is able to quickly dismantle and reassemble Mr. Logic's hair trimmer, and in "Face Your Fears" when Dendy knows how to use the helmets to connect multiple people to the fear game. Dendy also knows how to break into a van, and therefore might how to break into other things as well. Dendy seems to have background knowledge on a variety of subjects, as demonstrated in "We've Got Fleas" when Dendy knew that in order to become an animal, one would have to be bitten by a were-animal.
