this is sorta a copy from the last post i made in my other dump thread; modified to fit the fanmade show lmaooooo
wip
[spoiler=Characterization and Background]Adorably Precocious Child: Mandy is only 11 years old, but works hard and is dedicated to being a good agent of Odd Squad.
Adorkable: No doubt about it.
Attention Deficit...Ooh, Shiny!: She can sometimes get distracted - something will catch her eye that will draw her attention away from the task at hand.
Attention Whore: Oftentimes agents look to her rather than to Ms. O for advice, being that she is Ms. O's second-in-command. However, she can also hog the spotlight as she wishes.
Becoming the Costume: Mandy often mimics various characters, whether for humor or for mockery, by dressing up as the character (or in the case of agents, only changes her hairstyle and her badge; she keeps the suit). This tends to get on Olive's nerves quite often.
Berserk Button:
- Hurting anyone close to her.
- Depriving her of her Chocolate Moo-Moo Surprise.
- Hiding something from her.
Beware the Nice Ones: Mandy is a sweetheart and is quite cheerful. But when she gets angry or serious, it's not a pretty sight to behold.
Beware the Silly Ones: Yeah, she's adorable and silly and loves to goof around, but she isn't afraid to show her aggressive side.
Big Eater: So much so, she matches both Otto and Pinkie Pie in sheer appetite. Her primary method of eating involves wrapping her tongue around foodstuffs and gulping it down in one bite. What's more, she can eat multiple-course meals in one sitting.
Black Sheep: Mandy falls into this role with both her adoptive and real families. Olive, her adopted mother, is vastly different from her, being more stoic and serious. Her real mother, Annabelle, was more refined and regal as a Proper Lady, while her real father, Tyler, is a Mellow Fellow jokester. Peaches, Mandy's cousin, is more of an Only Sane Man.
Break the Cutie: Mandy is usually quite optimistic and upbeat, but does have moments where she becomes broken if someone thinks of her as useless or someone hurts her.
- In "The Missing Dreams", she becomes scared when Dr. O tells her that she is the only one to cure the Dream-Transfer-itis outbreak.
- "Cat Got Your Tail?" has her attempting to free Peaches from the corruption of a ring that is attached to her, by trying to convince her of who Mandy is.
- It's narrowly averted, but in "Pinkie Party", she becomes upset at Olive for not telling her about Pinkie Pie's promotion.
- She completely breaks down in "The Kir-bees" upon learning that the eponymous creature framed her for things she didn't do.
- Her repeated and failed attempts to fly with her tail in "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid", despite Pinkie Pie coaching her, causes her great stress, and as a result, she yells at her partner and flies away crying.
- Breaks down a bit in "The Boss's Assistant" when Peaches expresses her worries about Mandy going to kill the Big O, only for Mandy to fire back that she never kills anyone and begin crying. She manages to stop herself and heads into the Big Office while ordering Peaches to stay behind.
Broken Bird: Her hair and tail can deflate when she becomes really depressed.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Mandy is hyperactive and is quite dimwitted at times, but she's also very competent at solving cases, to the point where she serves as Ms. O's second-in-command.
Character Development: Word of God states that Mandy was originally conceived to be a Genki Girl, not taking anything seriously and bringing joy to those around her, unable to be mad or sad. While she is still very high-energy, she is geared more towards being The Pollyanna - she is capable of taking things seriously, often in the vein of Olive, but still retains humor and wit. She has also definitely grown from the days when she first transformed into a pony-human hybrid.
Cheerful Child: She is constantly optimistic, often has a smile on her face, and is always on hand to cheer up her fellow co-workers whenever they need it. Even those who are more stoic, like Olive and Ms. O, can't help but smile at her antics.
Cloudcuckoolander: She is dimwitted, boisterous, and looks like an anomalous creature that wouldn't be too out of place in a workplace of oddities, but most everyone loves her for it. Ms. O even refers to her as the heart of the precinct in part because of her zany antics.
Cuckoo Snarker: Mandy can snark at times.
Mandy: [growls] This is the third hammer I’ve bent! How durable are these things?!
Olive: Well, they have to be durable. They go through a lot of wear and tear.
Mandy: [deadpan] That was a rhetorical question, Olive.
Cute and Psycho: If you're a villain, better watch your back -- don't perform any villainous misdeeds, or your face is likely to meet a flaming Mandy's hammer.
Cute, but Cacophonic: When she screams, it can echo throughout nearly the entirety of Headquarters.
The Cutie: Mandy is one of the more adorable agents of Precinct 13579. And she knows it.
Determinator: She is very dedicated to her work, and will often go the extra mile to stop villains, no matter what it takes. In "Double Trouble, Part Deux", she even went so far as to chase a villain throughout town, and didn't realize until the end of the episode that it was a fake one.
The Ditz: Half the time, she's a scatterbrain. The other half of the time...
Drop the Hammer: In addition to her alicorn magic, Mandy also wields a hammer that serves as her weapon of choice. It can grow to be half the size of a large tree.
Everyone Has Standards: Mandy may love to joke around and have fun, but she knows better than to disturb people and will often leave them alone when asked to.
Expressive Ears: Mandy's pony ears (in both hybrid and pony form) fold downward when she is sad or mad. They sometimes also flap when she is excited, which allows her to hover for a few seconds per Rule of Funny. She also folds one of them downward when sleeping.
Expressive Hair: Her hair and tail can deflate when she gets really depressed. In addition, certain things like listening to loud music will cause her hair to stick straight up, and sometimes it will stay that way up until someone fixes it.
Extreme Omnivore: She will eat most anything and everything that is edible. However, she does have limits; she finds Otto's mini Bundt cake to be revolting and can't get more than a few chews in before spitting it out.
Fun Personified: She is a very upbeat person, and many agents adore her humorous, cheerful nature.
Genius Ditz: Despite her scatterbrained and dimwitted nature, she is very intelligent, often finding solutions to issues in the steads of other agents.
- She is the only one who knows her way around Sector 21, and leads the ponies and Peaches through it in "Journey of a Thousand Threats".
- In "Lights Out", she organizes various plans to find Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo.
- She manages to, for the most part, repair Olive and Otto's friendship in "Snailed It", albeit with a push from Peaches and Twilight.
Genki Girl: She is both this and The Pollyanna. She is quite energetic, but is also cheerful and optimistic.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She has a stuffed leopard toy named Fluffy that was her favorite as a young child. While she doesn't play with it much anymore, she does keep it on her nightstand.
Girly Bruiser: Mandy can be girly at times, but she won't hesitate to jump into the fray of battle and beat villains singlehandedly.
Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: A bubbly, giggly girl who is loyal to Odd Squad and those she loves. However, she has an inappropriate side, being loud, boisterous, and a Big Eater.
Good is Not Dumb: One of Ms. O's best agents who serves as her faithful second-in-command.
Gratuitous Japanese: Mandy likes to pepper her sentences with Japanese, and sometimes speaks full-on sentences in Japanese. While a majority of agents can't understand what she's saying, Olive can, due to being multi-lingual.
Mandy: Watashi wa sore o anata no te kara torinozokimasu, arigatō.
[walks away; everyone looks at Olive]
Olive: “I’ll take that off your hands, thank you.”
[various “ohh’s”]
Happily Adopted: She was rescued from Todd's pienado as a toddler by Olive, who was an agent at the time. She was raised by her over the course of 11 years after the event. Mandy calls Olive "Momma" quite often, and Olive has no qualms about going to extra lengths to protect Mandy. This is deconstructed in "Mother's Little Hybrid", where Mandy manages to learn the truth about her real parents; however, she still remains with Olive and visits her real family often.
Hates Being Alone: As a toddler, she hated when Olive went on cases, and would often cry for her until she returned. Once she was introduced to Oscar, she was taught how to make gadgets, which kept her busy.
The Heart: Many agents have remarked how Mandy manages to cheer them up when they feel depressed. Ms. O often directly refers to her as the heart of Precinct 13579.
Hidden Depths: The series is littered with moments that showcase Mandy's other moods, or hidden talents that often surprise those around her.
- "Pilot" shows her attempting to befriend Peaches, an aloof catgirl that happens to be her distant cousin. To achieve this, she writes Peaches a note encouraging her to open up, and naps alongside her in bed.
- "The Edge of the Rainbow" shows that curiosity can sometimes overtake her, causing her to rush off without telling Ms. O or anyone else.
- "The Missing Dreams" has Dr. O entrusting the task of curing everyone's sleep-transfer-itis to Mandy, and she quickly becomes overwhelmed when she manages to restore everyone else's dreams, but not her own, causing her great strife. The episode also shows that she makes a great homemade mac and cheese, which she teaches Olive how to make.
- In "Pinkie Party", it's revealed that she doesn't take kindly to those keeping secrets from her, especially when she feels that she has a right to know said secrets.
Innocently Insensitive: Mandy sometimes can go a little over the edge with her antics.
- She pushes Olive to share her story of how she defected to Odd Todd's side in "Viva La Vida", and refuses to back down despite her looking extremely uncomfortable with telling the story.
Jabba Table Manners: Her preferred method of eating is to wrap her tongue around the food, and eat it in one bite. When she's really hungry, she'll dive into food face first.
Kindhearted Simpleton: She is normally regarded as air-headed, socially oblivious, and is generally off in her own little world, but is one of the kindest people you'd ever meet.
Know When to Fold 'Em: While her primary means of attack is to beat up villains until they're begging for mercy, she knows when she's outnumbered or overwhelmed.
Large Ham: Make no mistake, Mandy can definitely ham it up when she wants to.
Life of the Party: If it's not a high-class event, Mandy will be partying hard.
Loon With a Heart of Gold: She's loopy and weird, but goes to great lengths for those she loves.
Loss of Identity: After she was turned into a pony-human hybrid and gained her wings, tail, horn and a new hairstyle, she struggled with connecting with the townspeople, as they would ostracize her for being different from other humans (despite looking more humanoid than equine). This led her self-esteem to plummet drastically.
Love Hungry: She can get this way when it comes to Bradley Beli, a famous world-traveling pop star whom she has a crush on. It becomes especially prominent in "Double B Faces the Music" when she accuses Nerine of wanting to date him, and develops a hatred of her in part because of it.
The Mad Hatter: Mandy knows just how loony she is, and loves every minute of it.
Misery Trigger: She can take most insults with ease, but there is only so much she can take, doubly so if they come from someone she loves. "Agents' Crusade" has her going nearly berserk on Ms. O when she continuously drags her into training the Cutie Mark Crusaders in order for them to become bonafide Investigation agents of Odd Squad, insulting her about her sleeping and eating habits.
Motor Mouth: She launches into this often when she's upset and is explaining what happened to make her upset.
The Music Meister: Mandy is able to get others to dance a lot of the time simply by singing, and leads most, if not all of the songs in the show.
Must Have Caffeine: If she doesn't get her Chocolate Moo-Moo Surprise drink when she wakes up in the mornings, expect her to be completely groggy and disoriented.
My God, What Have I Done?:
- In "The Kir-bees", after seeing how the eponymous creature framed her, she flies into a rage and snaps at Olive, Otto, Ms. O and the ponies, breaking the table with her hammer in the process. After witnessing the damage she caused, she begins to cry and runs away.
- She goes into a Heroic BSoD in "Fake Charmer" when Orino tricks her into believing that Peaches despises her and wants her gone.
Nice Girl: Most of the time, unless you push her Berserk Button.
No Sense of Personal Space: She gets in people's faces quite a bit, and gives out Bear Hugs all the time.
Mandy: [gasp] Cuz!
Peaches: Wait, wait- ulp! [coughing as Mandy hugs her]
Mandy: Oh, am I happy to see you!
Peaches: C-can you… [cough] put me… [cough] down?!
Mandy: Sorry!
[puts her down]
Peaches: [gasping for air]
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Despite her unpredictable reactions to various things, people are easily able to tell if something is off with Mandy if she isn't her usual self.
- In "The Kir-bees", she gets upset enough to fly into a rage when Olive, Otto, Ms. O and the ponies accuse her of being the one who ruined the bullpen and the Bedroom. When they realize that she wasn't the culprit, they immediately feel guilty, as they know she would never do anything like that on purpose. However, Mandy is still hurt over the accusations and refuses to speak to anyone.
Only Sane Man: Mandy takes up this role more often than not, especially when others around her are panicking or freaking out about a situation, or being completely unreasonable.
Perpetual Smiler: Mandy smiles quite often.
Personality Powers: She believes in equality for all kids, which is Odd Squad's modus operandi, and it reflects in the rainbow color of her horn's aura. While she's not afraid to use her alicorn magic for combat purposes, she also uses it to build and repair gadgets for agents. In line with that, her power of Flight is often used to carry both humans and ponies on her back to wherever they need to go.
The Pollyanna: Mandy is regarded as an upbeat hybrid agent most of the time, assisting people when needed and even helping agents-in-training as shown in "Mandy's Class Act". Even when fighting villains, she has the utmost confidence that she can take them down, and often does so singlehandedly with glee.
Really Fond of Sleeping: She loves to sleep, and can do it in most any location, up to and including stair banisters. It gets to such a point that her not getting enough sleep can have disastrous effects - for both her, and those around her.
Sad Clown: When an agent or someone she loves hurts her in some manner, expect Mandy to lose any semblance of being bubbly and cheerful and turn bitter and upset.
Sanity Slippage: The official animated video for "Sadistic Music Factory" depicts Mandy as being consistently hungry and a harsh ruler with no sanity to be found...that is, until it's revealed that an unnamed spirit was possessing her.
Serious Business: Despite her cheerful personality, Mandy knows when to get serious.
- Don't ever hurt her, emotionally or physically. And don't hurt her co-workers, either. You've been warned.
- Finding the legendary Toronto Rainbow. Try and stop her. We dare you.
- If there's a high-class event being held for someone she respects, she will make sure it goes off without a hitch and chew out those who ruin it.
Simple-Minded Wisdom: Mandy has her moments when holding the Smart Ball.
Mandy: [suspiciously] Boss...shouldn’t the lesson I taught Olive be sticking with you too?
Ms. O: Huh?
Mandy: Sometimes, leader figures aren’t always right, and they can make mistakes like regular human beings do! You shouldn’t put your bonafide trust in them, ‘cuz sometimes those mistakes can be fatal.
Stalker With a Crush: Played with. While she doesn't stalk him, she has a huge crush on Bradley Beli, and it's been likened to Otto's love for the band Soundcheck.
Sweet Tooth: True to her Big Eater tendencies, she has a big thing for sweets, particularly chocolate.
That Reminds Me of a Song: Beginning in Season 2, Mandy often launches into musical numbers, much to the chagrin of those around her.
Olive: Please don’t play The Lamentations of the Lost One again…
Mandy: Aww, c’mon, that was one of the best performances of my time! Smashed the guitar on-tune and everything!
Thinking Out Loud: Does this at times, especially when alone.
Womanchild: Downplayed. While Mandy is 11 and is considered a child by Odd Squad's standards, she carries adult responsibilities as all Odd Squad employees do. However, she can act younger than her age at times. It's become the subject of mockery for agents like Orchid, but Mandy doesn't seem to care.
Work Hard, Play Hard: As mentioned above, Mandy knows the line between work and play. While she does insert humor and wit into what she does, she also knows when to be serious.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance]Burning With Anger: Mandy often gets angry enough to do this, which is a useful scare tactic when fighting villains.
Expository Hairstyle Change: Some time before the series, Mandy fought off a Hydraclops out at sea, which caused her hair to become curly similar to her partner's. She also sprouts a tail similar to her partner's as well, which is secured by a bow at the top.
Expressive Hair: Both her hair and tail can poof up and deflate, but it only happens when she falls into a deep depression. They also stick up whenever she's scared, in a similar manner as a cat.
Hair Decorations: In "Mother's Little Hybrid", she is gifted a bow from her deceased mother, who left it behind for her to wear. Season 2 onwards shows Mandy wearing this bow in every episode.
- In Season 1, the Quirky Curls in her hair are secured by a small bow.
Innocent Blue Eyes: She's into fun and happiness, and has the eyes and personality to match!
Mega Twintails: In one episode, she experiments with different hairstyles, with one of them being these.
Nice Hat: Wears one on some occasions, mainly during showy dance numbers.
Overly Long Tongue: Develops one whenever she eats something in one bite, per Rule of Funny.
Quirky Curls: Her hair became curly in the same manner as Agent Pinkie Pie when she defeated a Hydraclops. Similarly, she also sprouted a tail that looks like the pink pony's, and is even the same color. It's shown in flashbacks that her hair was naturally straight, and it does get straightened when she's depressed.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Is one in both pony form and hybrid form. And Mandy isn't afraid to call others' attention to it.
Silly Walk: While she does walk like normal humans, she will often also move along by bouncing up and down, like her partner, Agent Pinkie Pie. The name for this gait is "pronking", and there arguably cannot be a better word for how Mandy travels.
Turns Red: Does this at times whenever she gets extremely angry.
Wingding Eyes: When dizzy, her eyeballs spin around in their sockets.
Winged Humanoid: Mandy is a pony-human hybrid classified under the alicorn race, and because of it, she has wings that she uses for flight. However, unlike the wings of other alicorns, Mandy's wings are snow-white and are more reminiscent of an angel's.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]Ace Pilot: Mandy has her own Cool Plane that she pilots in some episodes. Word of God states that her plane, named Serendipity, is a more compact, simplified version of the plane she built during Odd Squad: The Movie, when the human Main 7 were going up into space.
Awesomeness by Analysis: Mandy can easily sniff out the bad intentions of a villain using her observation skills and Odd Squad's own villain database.
Badass Adorable: Mandy may be cute and sweet and energetic to boot, but make no mistake, she can pack a hell of a punch when she wants to.
Balloonacy: Mandy will use balloons for comedic effects at times. In "Mystic Magic Sleep Rays", her inability to stop flying causes Olive to suggest that Otto tie string around her and treat her like a balloon, much to her chagrin.
Olive: Ah! I may have an idea. Otto, go get some rope and tie it around Mandy. Tote her around like you would a balloon.
[muffled sounds of protest from Mandy]
Beyond the Impossible: She has shown skills such as being able to go long distances without getting tired and piloting her Cool Plane hands-free.
Chekhov's Skill: In "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid", Peaches, and later Pinkie Pie, train Mandy how to fly using her tail as a propeller. It later saves her in the same episode when her wingbones cramp up, leaving her unable to fly.
The Cat Came Back: While popping up out of nowhere is a common ability among numerous Odd Squad agents such as Ms. O and Oona, Mandy does it more often than any of them, and is well aware of it.
Confusion Fu: Ohlm is far and away the most unpredictable agent in Precinct 13579, but Mandy is also sometimes unpredictable in battle, sometimes using gadgets instead of her hammer. Outside of combat, her unpredictability when it comes to reacting to various things is referenced by numerous agents.
Crazy-Prepared: Most agents are this due to their ability to use Hammerspace, but Mandy is perhaps the most prepared of them all. She can pull things that are two times bigger than her from her spine.
Dreadful Musician: Zigzagged. While Mandy is a very talented singer, she puts a lot of spirit into her songs, which can annoy others around her.
[after playing "Lamentations of the Lost One" on an electric guitar]
Rock star: Whoa, that was, like, totally epic, man!
Mandy: Thank ye thank ye! I’ve been dabbling in Japanese lately. I can also sing it in English if you want-
Otto: No! No, I-I think we got it, Mandy. I think we got it.
Olive: [soft moan]
Fast Tunnelling: Like Agent Pinkie Pie, Mandy can turn her hair into a drill in order to dig underground.
Flight: Can fly using her wings, and beginning with "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid," can fly using her tail as a propeller.
Gadgeteer Genius: Aside from being an Investigation agent, Mandy also assists Oona and the other Scientists in repairing gadgets. If she's not out on the field solving cases, she's repairing a broken gadget or two.
Hammerspace: Like all Odd Squad employees, Mandy has this skill, taking out whatever she needs from behind her back.
Hammerspace Hair: Mandy can store a seemingly infinite amount of stuff in her hair and tail, up to and including fillies.
Heavy Sleeper: She can sleep through most any odd happening in Headquarters. Dinosaur breakouts? She's slept straight through them. Tornadoes? She's slept straight through those, too.
Improvised Weapon: When not using gadgets or her magic, she weaponizes ponies. Including her own partners.
Inexplicably Awesome: Odd Squad itself has been explicitly stated not to have any physics involved, and the show itself being a cartoon, Mandy uses it to her advantage. She can ignore the fourth wall with ease, use her tail and hair for numerous purposes, and has a wide range of skills that often help out agents in a pinch.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: She has a tendency to do this at times.
Offscreen Teleportation: Does this in the same vein as characters like Ms. O, Oona, and Dr. O, although she likes to do it to scare people.
The Power of Rock: She can shred a guitar like nobody's business, as shown in "The One-Trick Agent".
Prehensile Hair: She can hold small things with her Pinkie Pie-esque forelock and can even open jars with it.
Prehensile Tail: She can also hang by her tail, grab things with it (including other agents), bounce on it, and she can use it to fly helicopter-style with her tail as a bottom rotor so she can lay back and relax, and even clean up dirt.
Reality Warper: Any time it aids the joke, she is shown with this ability. She gets a lot of mileage out of it too, as Odd Squad has no physics.
Renaissance Agent: She's in the Investigation department and solves cases like any other agent, but also fixes gadgets, serves as Ms. O's second-in-command, and still somehow finds the time to squeeze in a daily nap and daily trips to the Odd Squad Academy.
Stealth Hi/Bye: She's skilled at this to the point where she can keep up with Ms. O and Oona.
Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish: In "The Kir-bees", she is able to understand the eponymous creature despite it only communicating in chirps.
Super Speed: More in flight with her wings than on land.
Super Strength: Since she's an alicorn, Mandy has an incredible amount of both physical and magical strength, although she does have her limits. In later episodes like "Race Swap", she demonstrates the ability to lift living beings as well as heavy objects with ease, and in "Cat Got Your Tail?", it's revealed that the transformation she went through after fighting the Hydraclops strengthened her spine enough to be able to support the weight of both humans and ponies.
Supreme Chef: She can cook most foods with ease, but is far more skilled in baking, and enjoys doing that rather than cooking overly complex meals.
Toon Physics: Being that the world of the series has no physics, Mandy gets a lot of mileage out of this trope.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Relationships]Cool Big Sis: Mandy serves as this to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as well as the Mane Six to an extent. Many agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy also look up to her as one.
Et Tu, Brute?: Mandy does not take getting emotionally hurt lightly, especially if it's from someone she trusts.
- While more of a mild example than most, "Pinkie Party" has her berating both Olive and Agent Rarity for keeping Agent Pinkie Pie's promotion a secret from her, telling them that as Pinkie's partner, she has a right to know.
- In "The Kir-bees", she breaks down over Olive, Otto, Ms. O, Peaches and the ponies accusing her of destroying the bullpen and the Bedroom when the eponymous creature, named Natsu, was the culprit. Even after Olive talks to her about the situation and she cries into her chest, she still gives her the cold shoulder.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with. While cousins and not siblings, Peaches and Mandy become more like siblings over the course of the series. Mandy is incredibly hyperactive and is more of a jokester, playing the role of the foolish sibling. Peaches is more down-to-earth, wise, and tends to look after Mandy to make sure she doesn't get into trouble, playing the role of the responsible sibling.
Friend to All Children: As shown in episodes such as "Mandy's Class Act" and "A Class of Her Own", she is a hit with the agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy, going to visit and spend time with them on her breaks.
Happily Adopted: Mandy was taken in by a then-Agent Olive and raised after Odd Todd, Olive's old partner, released a pienado into Headquarters as revenge. It's not revealed how Mandy got into the midst of the disaster in the first place until the Season 1 finale, "Mother's Little Hybrid", where Fluttershy tells Mandy where she came from and reveals the existence of her biological parents. Despite the events of the finale, however, Mandy has no problem with calling Olive "Momma" most of the time, and Olive is very maternal when it comes to her.
Intergenerational Friendship: She's friendly to most anyone of every age.
Muggle Foster Parents: Subverted. Mandy was a normal human when Olive adopted her and raised her, but some time before the series, she fought a Hydraclops and gained wings, a tail, a horn, magic, and a new hairstyle, the hair and tail being similar to Agent Pinkie Pie's. After this, others began referring to her as a "pony-human hybrid" - which isn't a species of its own, but is rather implied to be exclusive to Mandy. Despite this, Olive still treats her as her daughter throughout the course of the series.
Only Child Syndrome: Mandy has no known brothers or sisters, but it's implied in "Mandy's Class Act" that she sees the agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy as siblings.
Only Known By Their Nickname: According to Word of God, her full name is Amanda, but she is only known as Mandy throughout the series.
Parental Abandonment: In "Mother's Little Hybrid: Part 1", it's revealed that Mandy was conceived with a happy couple, but her mother, Annabelle, didn't want to name her directly after she was born. After Tyler, Mandy's father, learned about Odd Squad, the relationship turned sour, as Annabelle hated Odd Squad for the constant danger they are put in whereas Tyler loved the organization. Tyler named Mandy "Ora" as a placeholder name so she could get into the Odd Squad Academy, and when Annabelle found out, she argued with Tyler relentlessly, leading Mandy to sneak out of the house shortly before a divorce was announced. After finding his daughter missing, Tyler searched for her but never found her. It's implied in Part 1 that he gave up the search, but it isn't revealed what happened to him or if he found Mandy again.
- Part 2 has Tyler finding Mandy bruised and beaten on the ground in a park at the end of the road where he and his new wife, Holly, live. As Mandy gets better, she reconnects with her father and her potential new mother, learning from Haruko, her spirit guardian, that Annabelle passed away from cancer but left Mandy a bow as a gift, which eases Mandy's grief over her death. By the end of the episode, Mandy comes to good terms with Tyler and Holly, vowing to visit them every week to catch up.
Parental Substitute: Olive is this to Mandy, having raised her since she was a baby. Otto is also this to a certain extent, though he wasn't as active with raising Mandy as Olive was, and the two share more of a friendship than a father-daughter relationship.
Polar Opposite Twins: In terms of appearances and personality, Mandy is vastly different compared to her cousin, Peaches. It doesn't help that the two are entirely different species.
Promotion to Parent: She is tasked with raising a few babies in "Adventures in Babysitting".
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mandy can dip into Blue Oni at times, but most of the time she is Red Oni to most everyone.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Played with when it comes to Peaches, who is not Mandy's sister, but her cousin. Mandy is loud, humorous, hyperactive, and tends to rush headfirst into situations at times and overreact to small things. Peaches is more calm, cool, and collected, sorting problems out when they involve her and assisting other agents in solving cases and similar matters.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Other]Added Alliterative Appeal: Does this in "Fake Charmer".
Aerith and Bob: In an organization where every employee's name begins with O, her name begins with an M.
Alliterative Name: Her alter ego, Mandy Mane.
Aside Glance: She does this quite a lot with her tendency to break the fourth wall.
The Cameo: She shows up during an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball, but doesn't have speaking lines.
Catch-Phrase: "Geezaloo", as a Shout-Out to Brain Dump.
Cool Car: Being second-in-command to Ms. O, Mandy has her own toy car that she drives for comedic effect. However, what makes her car different from other toy cars seen in the show is that it has sequins on it and is decked out with various decorations, making it tailored to her.
Cool Plane: Named Serendipity, Mandy often uses it in combat or, when not in high-pressure situations, for fun. It has the ability to sense villains and other threats from far away and comes equipped with weapons. Word of God states that the plane's design is based on the plane seen in Odd Squad's "Oscar and the Oscarbots", but is modified to be more streamlined. It even has its own theme song, Serendipitous Wings, which is sung by the Vocaloid Meiko.
Death Glare: Expect her to dole these out when she gets really angry.
Facial Dialogue: Does this all the time.
GASP: Is prone to doing this when mocking others, especially Rarity.
"I Am" Song: "I Am Agent Mandy", sung by the UTAU Kasane Teto.
Karmic Protection: Shares this with both her partners. She can be brash at times, is often insensitive, and is ostensibly odder than a majority of the main cast. However, sometimes this protection is stripped off, resulting in a battered babysitter, or a worn-out and injured agent.
Kubrick Stare: Does this often as part of her Facial Dialogue.
Meaningful Name: Mandy's name is Latin for "worthy of love", or "loved very much by everyone". Mandy is indeed loved very much by both people close to her, and the townsfolk in Toronto.
Odd Name Out: Aside from the ponies and Peaches, she is the only agent of Odd Squad whose name does not start with an O.
Only One Name: As with all Odd Squad employees, Mandy does not bear a last name.
Perky Goth: She attempts to dress up as one in order to cheer up Rainbow Dash in one episode.
Poor Communication Kills: In episodes such as "Screwloose".
Rhymes On a Dime: When singing.
Rule of Funny: She can do nearly anything to improve the humor of a situation; it borders on Reality Warper.
Sleepwalking: In "Cat Got Your Tail?", it's revealed that Mandy sometimes sleep-flies. "Mystic Magic Sleep Rays" has her hovering in mid-air in her sleep, being unable to land due to Twilight zapping her in her own sleep.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Despite the show being called The Adventures of Peaches and Mandy, Mandy tends to get more screentime than Peaches does at times.
Talking in Your Sleep: Mandy often mutters incomprehensible things in her sleep.
Terrible Artist: Very much so. However, it's justified since Mandy is a child.
Third-Person Person: Slips into this in some episodes. According to her, it's a chronic odd illness.
Vocal Dissonance: Though still feminine, her voice gets a lot deeper when she cries.
Voice for the Voiceless: In "A Class of Her Own", she does most of the talking for Orianna, a young Scientist-in-training who is very shy and doesn't talk much.
Voice of the Legion: Taken to hilarious extremes in "Journey of a Thousand Threats" when Mandy is stuck in a cave.
Waking Non Sequitur: Mandy gives these out constantly. She wakes up, shouts something completely nonsensical, and then goes right back to sleep. In "Under A Rest", the other characters actually attempt to study what she says, and drive themselves crazy doing it.
Weirdness Coupon: Shares this with practically every member of Odd Squad. She does weird things often, and yet no agent gives her a second glance because they're ostensibly odd themselves.[/spoiler]
wip
[spoiler=Characterization and Background]Adorably Precocious Child: Mandy is only 11 years old, but works hard and is dedicated to being a good agent of Odd Squad.
Adorkable: No doubt about it.
Attention Deficit...Ooh, Shiny!: She can sometimes get distracted - something will catch her eye that will draw her attention away from the task at hand.
Attention Whore: Oftentimes agents look to her rather than to Ms. O for advice, being that she is Ms. O's second-in-command. However, she can also hog the spotlight as she wishes.
Becoming the Costume: Mandy often mimics various characters, whether for humor or for mockery, by dressing up as the character (or in the case of agents, only changes her hairstyle and her badge; she keeps the suit). This tends to get on Olive's nerves quite often.
Berserk Button:
- Hurting anyone close to her.
- Depriving her of her Chocolate Moo-Moo Surprise.
- Hiding something from her.
Beware the Nice Ones: Mandy is a sweetheart and is quite cheerful. But when she gets angry or serious, it's not a pretty sight to behold.
Beware the Silly Ones: Yeah, she's adorable and silly and loves to goof around, but she isn't afraid to show her aggressive side.
Big Eater: So much so, she matches both Otto and Pinkie Pie in sheer appetite. Her primary method of eating involves wrapping her tongue around foodstuffs and gulping it down in one bite. What's more, she can eat multiple-course meals in one sitting.
Black Sheep: Mandy falls into this role with both her adoptive and real families. Olive, her adopted mother, is vastly different from her, being more stoic and serious. Her real mother, Annabelle, was more refined and regal as a Proper Lady, while her real father, Tyler, is a Mellow Fellow jokester. Peaches, Mandy's cousin, is more of an Only Sane Man.
Break the Cutie: Mandy is usually quite optimistic and upbeat, but does have moments where she becomes broken if someone thinks of her as useless or someone hurts her.
- In "The Missing Dreams", she becomes scared when Dr. O tells her that she is the only one to cure the Dream-Transfer-itis outbreak.
- "Cat Got Your Tail?" has her attempting to free Peaches from the corruption of a ring that is attached to her, by trying to convince her of who Mandy is.
- It's narrowly averted, but in "Pinkie Party", she becomes upset at Olive for not telling her about Pinkie Pie's promotion.
- She completely breaks down in "The Kir-bees" upon learning that the eponymous creature framed her for things she didn't do.
- Her repeated and failed attempts to fly with her tail in "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid", despite Pinkie Pie coaching her, causes her great stress, and as a result, she yells at her partner and flies away crying.
- Breaks down a bit in "The Boss's Assistant" when Peaches expresses her worries about Mandy going to kill the Big O, only for Mandy to fire back that she never kills anyone and begin crying. She manages to stop herself and heads into the Big Office while ordering Peaches to stay behind.
Broken Bird: Her hair and tail can deflate when she becomes really depressed.
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Mandy is hyperactive and is quite dimwitted at times, but she's also very competent at solving cases, to the point where she serves as Ms. O's second-in-command.
Character Development: Word of God states that Mandy was originally conceived to be a Genki Girl, not taking anything seriously and bringing joy to those around her, unable to be mad or sad. While she is still very high-energy, she is geared more towards being The Pollyanna - she is capable of taking things seriously, often in the vein of Olive, but still retains humor and wit. She has also definitely grown from the days when she first transformed into a pony-human hybrid.
Cheerful Child: She is constantly optimistic, often has a smile on her face, and is always on hand to cheer up her fellow co-workers whenever they need it. Even those who are more stoic, like Olive and Ms. O, can't help but smile at her antics.
Cloudcuckoolander: She is dimwitted, boisterous, and looks like an anomalous creature that wouldn't be too out of place in a workplace of oddities, but most everyone loves her for it. Ms. O even refers to her as the heart of the precinct in part because of her zany antics.
Cuckoo Snarker: Mandy can snark at times.
Mandy: [growls] This is the third hammer I’ve bent! How durable are these things?!
Olive: Well, they have to be durable. They go through a lot of wear and tear.
Mandy: [deadpan] That was a rhetorical question, Olive.
Cute and Psycho: If you're a villain, better watch your back -- don't perform any villainous misdeeds, or your face is likely to meet a flaming Mandy's hammer.
Cute, but Cacophonic: When she screams, it can echo throughout nearly the entirety of Headquarters.
The Cutie: Mandy is one of the more adorable agents of Precinct 13579. And she knows it.
Determinator: She is very dedicated to her work, and will often go the extra mile to stop villains, no matter what it takes. In "Double Trouble, Part Deux", she even went so far as to chase a villain throughout town, and didn't realize until the end of the episode that it was a fake one.
The Ditz: Half the time, she's a scatterbrain. The other half of the time...
Drop the Hammer: In addition to her alicorn magic, Mandy also wields a hammer that serves as her weapon of choice. It can grow to be half the size of a large tree.
Everyone Has Standards: Mandy may love to joke around and have fun, but she knows better than to disturb people and will often leave them alone when asked to.
Expressive Ears: Mandy's pony ears (in both hybrid and pony form) fold downward when she is sad or mad. They sometimes also flap when she is excited, which allows her to hover for a few seconds per Rule of Funny. She also folds one of them downward when sleeping.
Expressive Hair: Her hair and tail can deflate when she gets really depressed. In addition, certain things like listening to loud music will cause her hair to stick straight up, and sometimes it will stay that way up until someone fixes it.
Extreme Omnivore: She will eat most anything and everything that is edible. However, she does have limits; she finds Otto's mini Bundt cake to be revolting and can't get more than a few chews in before spitting it out.
Fun Personified: She is a very upbeat person, and many agents adore her humorous, cheerful nature.
Genius Ditz: Despite her scatterbrained and dimwitted nature, she is very intelligent, often finding solutions to issues in the steads of other agents.
- She is the only one who knows her way around Sector 21, and leads the ponies and Peaches through it in "Journey of a Thousand Threats".
- In "Lights Out", she organizes various plans to find Pinkie Pie and Scootaloo.
- She manages to, for the most part, repair Olive and Otto's friendship in "Snailed It", albeit with a push from Peaches and Twilight.
Genki Girl: She is both this and The Pollyanna. She is quite energetic, but is also cheerful and optimistic.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She has a stuffed leopard toy named Fluffy that was her favorite as a young child. While she doesn't play with it much anymore, she does keep it on her nightstand.
Girly Bruiser: Mandy can be girly at times, but she won't hesitate to jump into the fray of battle and beat villains singlehandedly.
Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: A bubbly, giggly girl who is loyal to Odd Squad and those she loves. However, she has an inappropriate side, being loud, boisterous, and a Big Eater.
Good is Not Dumb: One of Ms. O's best agents who serves as her faithful second-in-command.
Gratuitous Japanese: Mandy likes to pepper her sentences with Japanese, and sometimes speaks full-on sentences in Japanese. While a majority of agents can't understand what she's saying, Olive can, due to being multi-lingual.
Mandy: Watashi wa sore o anata no te kara torinozokimasu, arigatō.
[walks away; everyone looks at Olive]
Olive: “I’ll take that off your hands, thank you.”
[various “ohh’s”]
Happily Adopted: She was rescued from Todd's pienado as a toddler by Olive, who was an agent at the time. She was raised by her over the course of 11 years after the event. Mandy calls Olive "Momma" quite often, and Olive has no qualms about going to extra lengths to protect Mandy. This is deconstructed in "Mother's Little Hybrid", where Mandy manages to learn the truth about her real parents; however, she still remains with Olive and visits her real family often.
Hates Being Alone: As a toddler, she hated when Olive went on cases, and would often cry for her until she returned. Once she was introduced to Oscar, she was taught how to make gadgets, which kept her busy.
The Heart: Many agents have remarked how Mandy manages to cheer them up when they feel depressed. Ms. O often directly refers to her as the heart of Precinct 13579.
Hidden Depths: The series is littered with moments that showcase Mandy's other moods, or hidden talents that often surprise those around her.
- "Pilot" shows her attempting to befriend Peaches, an aloof catgirl that happens to be her distant cousin. To achieve this, she writes Peaches a note encouraging her to open up, and naps alongside her in bed.
- "The Edge of the Rainbow" shows that curiosity can sometimes overtake her, causing her to rush off without telling Ms. O or anyone else.
- "The Missing Dreams" has Dr. O entrusting the task of curing everyone's sleep-transfer-itis to Mandy, and she quickly becomes overwhelmed when she manages to restore everyone else's dreams, but not her own, causing her great strife. The episode also shows that she makes a great homemade mac and cheese, which she teaches Olive how to make.
- In "Pinkie Party", it's revealed that she doesn't take kindly to those keeping secrets from her, especially when she feels that she has a right to know said secrets.
Innocently Insensitive: Mandy sometimes can go a little over the edge with her antics.
- She pushes Olive to share her story of how she defected to Odd Todd's side in "Viva La Vida", and refuses to back down despite her looking extremely uncomfortable with telling the story.
Jabba Table Manners: Her preferred method of eating is to wrap her tongue around the food, and eat it in one bite. When she's really hungry, she'll dive into food face first.
Kindhearted Simpleton: She is normally regarded as air-headed, socially oblivious, and is generally off in her own little world, but is one of the kindest people you'd ever meet.
Know When to Fold 'Em: While her primary means of attack is to beat up villains until they're begging for mercy, she knows when she's outnumbered or overwhelmed.
Large Ham: Make no mistake, Mandy can definitely ham it up when she wants to.
Life of the Party: If it's not a high-class event, Mandy will be partying hard.
Loon With a Heart of Gold: She's loopy and weird, but goes to great lengths for those she loves.
Loss of Identity: After she was turned into a pony-human hybrid and gained her wings, tail, horn and a new hairstyle, she struggled with connecting with the townspeople, as they would ostracize her for being different from other humans (despite looking more humanoid than equine). This led her self-esteem to plummet drastically.
Love Hungry: She can get this way when it comes to Bradley Beli, a famous world-traveling pop star whom she has a crush on. It becomes especially prominent in "Double B Faces the Music" when she accuses Nerine of wanting to date him, and develops a hatred of her in part because of it.
The Mad Hatter: Mandy knows just how loony she is, and loves every minute of it.
Misery Trigger: She can take most insults with ease, but there is only so much she can take, doubly so if they come from someone she loves. "Agents' Crusade" has her going nearly berserk on Ms. O when she continuously drags her into training the Cutie Mark Crusaders in order for them to become bonafide Investigation agents of Odd Squad, insulting her about her sleeping and eating habits.
Motor Mouth: She launches into this often when she's upset and is explaining what happened to make her upset.
The Music Meister: Mandy is able to get others to dance a lot of the time simply by singing, and leads most, if not all of the songs in the show.
Must Have Caffeine: If she doesn't get her Chocolate Moo-Moo Surprise drink when she wakes up in the mornings, expect her to be completely groggy and disoriented.
My God, What Have I Done?:
- In "The Kir-bees", after seeing how the eponymous creature framed her, she flies into a rage and snaps at Olive, Otto, Ms. O and the ponies, breaking the table with her hammer in the process. After witnessing the damage she caused, she begins to cry and runs away.
- She goes into a Heroic BSoD in "Fake Charmer" when Orino tricks her into believing that Peaches despises her and wants her gone.
Nice Girl: Most of the time, unless you push her Berserk Button.
No Sense of Personal Space: She gets in people's faces quite a bit, and gives out Bear Hugs all the time.
Mandy: [gasp] Cuz!
Peaches: Wait, wait- ulp! [coughing as Mandy hugs her]
Mandy: Oh, am I happy to see you!
Peaches: C-can you… [cough] put me… [cough] down?!
Mandy: Sorry!
[puts her down]
Peaches: [gasping for air]
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Despite her unpredictable reactions to various things, people are easily able to tell if something is off with Mandy if she isn't her usual self.
- In "The Kir-bees", she gets upset enough to fly into a rage when Olive, Otto, Ms. O and the ponies accuse her of being the one who ruined the bullpen and the Bedroom. When they realize that she wasn't the culprit, they immediately feel guilty, as they know she would never do anything like that on purpose. However, Mandy is still hurt over the accusations and refuses to speak to anyone.
Only Sane Man: Mandy takes up this role more often than not, especially when others around her are panicking or freaking out about a situation, or being completely unreasonable.
Perpetual Smiler: Mandy smiles quite often.
Personality Powers: She believes in equality for all kids, which is Odd Squad's modus operandi, and it reflects in the rainbow color of her horn's aura. While she's not afraid to use her alicorn magic for combat purposes, she also uses it to build and repair gadgets for agents. In line with that, her power of Flight is often used to carry both humans and ponies on her back to wherever they need to go.
The Pollyanna: Mandy is regarded as an upbeat hybrid agent most of the time, assisting people when needed and even helping agents-in-training as shown in "Mandy's Class Act". Even when fighting villains, she has the utmost confidence that she can take them down, and often does so singlehandedly with glee.
Really Fond of Sleeping: She loves to sleep, and can do it in most any location, up to and including stair banisters. It gets to such a point that her not getting enough sleep can have disastrous effects - for both her, and those around her.
Sad Clown: When an agent or someone she loves hurts her in some manner, expect Mandy to lose any semblance of being bubbly and cheerful and turn bitter and upset.
Sanity Slippage: The official animated video for "Sadistic Music Factory" depicts Mandy as being consistently hungry and a harsh ruler with no sanity to be found...that is, until it's revealed that an unnamed spirit was possessing her.
Serious Business: Despite her cheerful personality, Mandy knows when to get serious.
- Don't ever hurt her, emotionally or physically. And don't hurt her co-workers, either. You've been warned.
- Finding the legendary Toronto Rainbow. Try and stop her. We dare you.
- If there's a high-class event being held for someone she respects, she will make sure it goes off without a hitch and chew out those who ruin it.
Simple-Minded Wisdom: Mandy has her moments when holding the Smart Ball.
Mandy: [suspiciously] Boss...shouldn’t the lesson I taught Olive be sticking with you too?
Ms. O: Huh?
Mandy: Sometimes, leader figures aren’t always right, and they can make mistakes like regular human beings do! You shouldn’t put your bonafide trust in them, ‘cuz sometimes those mistakes can be fatal.
Stalker With a Crush: Played with. While she doesn't stalk him, she has a huge crush on Bradley Beli, and it's been likened to Otto's love for the band Soundcheck.
Sweet Tooth: True to her Big Eater tendencies, she has a big thing for sweets, particularly chocolate.
That Reminds Me of a Song: Beginning in Season 2, Mandy often launches into musical numbers, much to the chagrin of those around her.
Olive: Please don’t play The Lamentations of the Lost One again…
Mandy: Aww, c’mon, that was one of the best performances of my time! Smashed the guitar on-tune and everything!
Thinking Out Loud: Does this at times, especially when alone.
Womanchild: Downplayed. While Mandy is 11 and is considered a child by Odd Squad's standards, she carries adult responsibilities as all Odd Squad employees do. However, she can act younger than her age at times. It's become the subject of mockery for agents like Orchid, but Mandy doesn't seem to care.
Work Hard, Play Hard: As mentioned above, Mandy knows the line between work and play. While she does insert humor and wit into what she does, she also knows when to be serious.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Appearance]Burning With Anger: Mandy often gets angry enough to do this, which is a useful scare tactic when fighting villains.
Expository Hairstyle Change: Some time before the series, Mandy fought off a Hydraclops out at sea, which caused her hair to become curly similar to her partner's. She also sprouts a tail similar to her partner's as well, which is secured by a bow at the top.
Expressive Hair: Both her hair and tail can poof up and deflate, but it only happens when she falls into a deep depression. They also stick up whenever she's scared, in a similar manner as a cat.
Hair Decorations: In "Mother's Little Hybrid", she is gifted a bow from her deceased mother, who left it behind for her to wear. Season 2 onwards shows Mandy wearing this bow in every episode.
- In Season 1, the Quirky Curls in her hair are secured by a small bow.
Innocent Blue Eyes: She's into fun and happiness, and has the eyes and personality to match!
Mega Twintails: In one episode, she experiments with different hairstyles, with one of them being these.
Nice Hat: Wears one on some occasions, mainly during showy dance numbers.
Overly Long Tongue: Develops one whenever she eats something in one bite, per Rule of Funny.
Quirky Curls: Her hair became curly in the same manner as Agent Pinkie Pie when she defeated a Hydraclops. Similarly, she also sprouted a tail that looks like the pink pony's, and is even the same color. It's shown in flashbacks that her hair was naturally straight, and it does get straightened when she's depressed.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Is one in both pony form and hybrid form. And Mandy isn't afraid to call others' attention to it.
Silly Walk: While she does walk like normal humans, she will often also move along by bouncing up and down, like her partner, Agent Pinkie Pie. The name for this gait is "pronking", and there arguably cannot be a better word for how Mandy travels.
Turns Red: Does this at times whenever she gets extremely angry.
Wingding Eyes: When dizzy, her eyeballs spin around in their sockets.
Winged Humanoid: Mandy is a pony-human hybrid classified under the alicorn race, and because of it, she has wings that she uses for flight. However, unlike the wings of other alicorns, Mandy's wings are snow-white and are more reminiscent of an angel's.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]Ace Pilot: Mandy has her own Cool Plane that she pilots in some episodes. Word of God states that her plane, named Serendipity, is a more compact, simplified version of the plane she built during Odd Squad: The Movie, when the human Main 7 were going up into space.
Awesomeness by Analysis: Mandy can easily sniff out the bad intentions of a villain using her observation skills and Odd Squad's own villain database.
Badass Adorable: Mandy may be cute and sweet and energetic to boot, but make no mistake, she can pack a hell of a punch when she wants to.
Balloonacy: Mandy will use balloons for comedic effects at times. In "Mystic Magic Sleep Rays", her inability to stop flying causes Olive to suggest that Otto tie string around her and treat her like a balloon, much to her chagrin.
Olive: Ah! I may have an idea. Otto, go get some rope and tie it around Mandy. Tote her around like you would a balloon.
[muffled sounds of protest from Mandy]
Beyond the Impossible: She has shown skills such as being able to go long distances without getting tired and piloting her Cool Plane hands-free.
Chekhov's Skill: In "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid", Peaches, and later Pinkie Pie, train Mandy how to fly using her tail as a propeller. It later saves her in the same episode when her wingbones cramp up, leaving her unable to fly.
The Cat Came Back: While popping up out of nowhere is a common ability among numerous Odd Squad agents such as Ms. O and Oona, Mandy does it more often than any of them, and is well aware of it.
Confusion Fu: Ohlm is far and away the most unpredictable agent in Precinct 13579, but Mandy is also sometimes unpredictable in battle, sometimes using gadgets instead of her hammer. Outside of combat, her unpredictability when it comes to reacting to various things is referenced by numerous agents.
Crazy-Prepared: Most agents are this due to their ability to use Hammerspace, but Mandy is perhaps the most prepared of them all. She can pull things that are two times bigger than her from her spine.
Dreadful Musician: Zigzagged. While Mandy is a very talented singer, she puts a lot of spirit into her songs, which can annoy others around her.
[after playing "Lamentations of the Lost One" on an electric guitar]
Rock star: Whoa, that was, like, totally epic, man!
Mandy: Thank ye thank ye! I’ve been dabbling in Japanese lately. I can also sing it in English if you want-
Otto: No! No, I-I think we got it, Mandy. I think we got it.
Olive: [soft moan]
Fast Tunnelling: Like Agent Pinkie Pie, Mandy can turn her hair into a drill in order to dig underground.
Flight: Can fly using her wings, and beginning with "Pretty Fly For a Hybrid," can fly using her tail as a propeller.
Gadgeteer Genius: Aside from being an Investigation agent, Mandy also assists Oona and the other Scientists in repairing gadgets. If she's not out on the field solving cases, she's repairing a broken gadget or two.
Hammerspace: Like all Odd Squad employees, Mandy has this skill, taking out whatever she needs from behind her back.
Hammerspace Hair: Mandy can store a seemingly infinite amount of stuff in her hair and tail, up to and including fillies.
Heavy Sleeper: She can sleep through most any odd happening in Headquarters. Dinosaur breakouts? She's slept straight through them. Tornadoes? She's slept straight through those, too.
Improvised Weapon: When not using gadgets or her magic, she weaponizes ponies. Including her own partners.
Inexplicably Awesome: Odd Squad itself has been explicitly stated not to have any physics involved, and the show itself being a cartoon, Mandy uses it to her advantage. She can ignore the fourth wall with ease, use her tail and hair for numerous purposes, and has a wide range of skills that often help out agents in a pinch.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: She has a tendency to do this at times.
Offscreen Teleportation: Does this in the same vein as characters like Ms. O, Oona, and Dr. O, although she likes to do it to scare people.
The Power of Rock: She can shred a guitar like nobody's business, as shown in "The One-Trick Agent".
Prehensile Hair: She can hold small things with her Pinkie Pie-esque forelock and can even open jars with it.
Prehensile Tail: She can also hang by her tail, grab things with it (including other agents), bounce on it, and she can use it to fly helicopter-style with her tail as a bottom rotor so she can lay back and relax, and even clean up dirt.
Reality Warper: Any time it aids the joke, she is shown with this ability. She gets a lot of mileage out of it too, as Odd Squad has no physics.
Renaissance Agent: She's in the Investigation department and solves cases like any other agent, but also fixes gadgets, serves as Ms. O's second-in-command, and still somehow finds the time to squeeze in a daily nap and daily trips to the Odd Squad Academy.
Stealth Hi/Bye: She's skilled at this to the point where she can keep up with Ms. O and Oona.
Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish: In "The Kir-bees", she is able to understand the eponymous creature despite it only communicating in chirps.
Super Speed: More in flight with her wings than on land.
Super Strength: Since she's an alicorn, Mandy has an incredible amount of both physical and magical strength, although she does have her limits. In later episodes like "Race Swap", she demonstrates the ability to lift living beings as well as heavy objects with ease, and in "Cat Got Your Tail?", it's revealed that the transformation she went through after fighting the Hydraclops strengthened her spine enough to be able to support the weight of both humans and ponies.
Supreme Chef: She can cook most foods with ease, but is far more skilled in baking, and enjoys doing that rather than cooking overly complex meals.
Toon Physics: Being that the world of the series has no physics, Mandy gets a lot of mileage out of this trope.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Relationships]Cool Big Sis: Mandy serves as this to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, as well as the Mane Six to an extent. Many agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy also look up to her as one.
Et Tu, Brute?: Mandy does not take getting emotionally hurt lightly, especially if it's from someone she trusts.
- While more of a mild example than most, "Pinkie Party" has her berating both Olive and Agent Rarity for keeping Agent Pinkie Pie's promotion a secret from her, telling them that as Pinkie's partner, she has a right to know.
- In "The Kir-bees", she breaks down over Olive, Otto, Ms. O, Peaches and the ponies accusing her of destroying the bullpen and the Bedroom when the eponymous creature, named Natsu, was the culprit. Even after Olive talks to her about the situation and she cries into her chest, she still gives her the cold shoulder.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Played with. While cousins and not siblings, Peaches and Mandy become more like siblings over the course of the series. Mandy is incredibly hyperactive and is more of a jokester, playing the role of the foolish sibling. Peaches is more down-to-earth, wise, and tends to look after Mandy to make sure she doesn't get into trouble, playing the role of the responsible sibling.
Friend to All Children: As shown in episodes such as "Mandy's Class Act" and "A Class of Her Own", she is a hit with the agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy, going to visit and spend time with them on her breaks.
Happily Adopted: Mandy was taken in by a then-Agent Olive and raised after Odd Todd, Olive's old partner, released a pienado into Headquarters as revenge. It's not revealed how Mandy got into the midst of the disaster in the first place until the Season 1 finale, "Mother's Little Hybrid", where Fluttershy tells Mandy where she came from and reveals the existence of her biological parents. Despite the events of the finale, however, Mandy has no problem with calling Olive "Momma" most of the time, and Olive is very maternal when it comes to her.
Intergenerational Friendship: She's friendly to most anyone of every age.
Muggle Foster Parents: Subverted. Mandy was a normal human when Olive adopted her and raised her, but some time before the series, she fought a Hydraclops and gained wings, a tail, a horn, magic, and a new hairstyle, the hair and tail being similar to Agent Pinkie Pie's. After this, others began referring to her as a "pony-human hybrid" - which isn't a species of its own, but is rather implied to be exclusive to Mandy. Despite this, Olive still treats her as her daughter throughout the course of the series.
Only Child Syndrome: Mandy has no known brothers or sisters, but it's implied in "Mandy's Class Act" that she sees the agents-in-training at the Odd Squad Academy as siblings.
Only Known By Their Nickname: According to Word of God, her full name is Amanda, but she is only known as Mandy throughout the series.
Parental Abandonment: In "Mother's Little Hybrid: Part 1", it's revealed that Mandy was conceived with a happy couple, but her mother, Annabelle, didn't want to name her directly after she was born. After Tyler, Mandy's father, learned about Odd Squad, the relationship turned sour, as Annabelle hated Odd Squad for the constant danger they are put in whereas Tyler loved the organization. Tyler named Mandy "Ora" as a placeholder name so she could get into the Odd Squad Academy, and when Annabelle found out, she argued with Tyler relentlessly, leading Mandy to sneak out of the house shortly before a divorce was announced. After finding his daughter missing, Tyler searched for her but never found her. It's implied in Part 1 that he gave up the search, but it isn't revealed what happened to him or if he found Mandy again.
- Part 2 has Tyler finding Mandy bruised and beaten on the ground in a park at the end of the road where he and his new wife, Holly, live. As Mandy gets better, she reconnects with her father and her potential new mother, learning from Haruko, her spirit guardian, that Annabelle passed away from cancer but left Mandy a bow as a gift, which eases Mandy's grief over her death. By the end of the episode, Mandy comes to good terms with Tyler and Holly, vowing to visit them every week to catch up.
Parental Substitute: Olive is this to Mandy, having raised her since she was a baby. Otto is also this to a certain extent, though he wasn't as active with raising Mandy as Olive was, and the two share more of a friendship than a father-daughter relationship.
Polar Opposite Twins: In terms of appearances and personality, Mandy is vastly different compared to her cousin, Peaches. It doesn't help that the two are entirely different species.
Promotion to Parent: She is tasked with raising a few babies in "Adventures in Babysitting".
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Mandy can dip into Blue Oni at times, but most of the time she is Red Oni to most everyone.
Sibling Yin-Yang: Played with when it comes to Peaches, who is not Mandy's sister, but her cousin. Mandy is loud, humorous, hyperactive, and tends to rush headfirst into situations at times and overreact to small things. Peaches is more calm, cool, and collected, sorting problems out when they involve her and assisting other agents in solving cases and similar matters.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Other]Added Alliterative Appeal: Does this in "Fake Charmer".
Aerith and Bob: In an organization where every employee's name begins with O, her name begins with an M.
Alliterative Name: Her alter ego, Mandy Mane.
Aside Glance: She does this quite a lot with her tendency to break the fourth wall.
The Cameo: She shows up during an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball, but doesn't have speaking lines.
Catch-Phrase: "Geezaloo", as a Shout-Out to Brain Dump.
Cool Car: Being second-in-command to Ms. O, Mandy has her own toy car that she drives for comedic effect. However, what makes her car different from other toy cars seen in the show is that it has sequins on it and is decked out with various decorations, making it tailored to her.
Cool Plane: Named Serendipity, Mandy often uses it in combat or, when not in high-pressure situations, for fun. It has the ability to sense villains and other threats from far away and comes equipped with weapons. Word of God states that the plane's design is based on the plane seen in Odd Squad's "Oscar and the Oscarbots", but is modified to be more streamlined. It even has its own theme song, Serendipitous Wings, which is sung by the Vocaloid Meiko.
Death Glare: Expect her to dole these out when she gets really angry.
Facial Dialogue: Does this all the time.
GASP: Is prone to doing this when mocking others, especially Rarity.
"I Am" Song: "I Am Agent Mandy", sung by the UTAU Kasane Teto.
Karmic Protection: Shares this with both her partners. She can be brash at times, is often insensitive, and is ostensibly odder than a majority of the main cast. However, sometimes this protection is stripped off, resulting in a battered babysitter, or a worn-out and injured agent.
Kubrick Stare: Does this often as part of her Facial Dialogue.
Meaningful Name: Mandy's name is Latin for "worthy of love", or "loved very much by everyone". Mandy is indeed loved very much by both people close to her, and the townsfolk in Toronto.
Odd Name Out: Aside from the ponies and Peaches, she is the only agent of Odd Squad whose name does not start with an O.
Only One Name: As with all Odd Squad employees, Mandy does not bear a last name.
Perky Goth: She attempts to dress up as one in order to cheer up Rainbow Dash in one episode.
Poor Communication Kills: In episodes such as "Screwloose".
Rhymes On a Dime: When singing.
Rule of Funny: She can do nearly anything to improve the humor of a situation; it borders on Reality Warper.
Sleepwalking: In "Cat Got Your Tail?", it's revealed that Mandy sometimes sleep-flies. "Mystic Magic Sleep Rays" has her hovering in mid-air in her sleep, being unable to land due to Twilight zapping her in her own sleep.
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Despite the show being called The Adventures of Peaches and Mandy, Mandy tends to get more screentime than Peaches does at times.
Talking in Your Sleep: Mandy often mutters incomprehensible things in her sleep.
Terrible Artist: Very much so. However, it's justified since Mandy is a child.
Third-Person Person: Slips into this in some episodes. According to her, it's a chronic odd illness.
Vocal Dissonance: Though still feminine, her voice gets a lot deeper when she cries.
Voice for the Voiceless: In "A Class of Her Own", she does most of the talking for Orianna, a young Scientist-in-training who is very shy and doesn't talk much.
Voice of the Legion: Taken to hilarious extremes in "Journey of a Thousand Threats" when Mandy is stuck in a cave.
Waking Non Sequitur: Mandy gives these out constantly. She wakes up, shouts something completely nonsensical, and then goes right back to sleep. In "Under A Rest", the other characters actually attempt to study what she says, and drive themselves crazy doing it.
Weirdness Coupon: Shares this with practically every member of Odd Squad. She does weird things often, and yet no agent gives her a second glance because they're ostensibly odd themselves.[/spoiler]
