Odd Della Robbia is one of the main characters from the Code Lyoko animated series.
The only extravert of the Team, and an incorrigible smart-aleck. Though physically petite compared to the rest of the team, he is an adrenaline junkie, just the type to go for extreme sports. Also a passable student; his strengths are in the languages and artistic classes.
In the XP4 fics, Odd debuted in the XP4 Heroes Coalition - Mission Chronicles.
In the AWA fics, Odd is listed as a purchased slave from the Slave Fortress and is later rescued. He later attends the AWA Academy as a student.
In the TWA fics, Odd debuted in the Twisted World Animania: Team Furious - The Isle of Lost Light.
Appearance[]
Odd has a yellow hair with a pointy top and a purple highlight in the middle and has dark eyes. He wears a lavender cropped long-sleeved shirt over a violet top, lavender baggy pants with yellow garter and yellow shoes.
In battle he gains facial markings and purple cat ears on top of his head. He wears a a purple bodysuit with a gray utility belt, paw-like arm gloves, boots and cat-like tail.
Personality[]
Odd is, above all, a very special character, remarkably casual, bringing to the series his own bits of craziness. He clearly shows his complete nonchalance thanks to his look, which is a reflection of his personality. Always dressed in rose or purple, his blond hair always tinted in the front with a blaze of purple and combed to a point (thanks to a ton of gel to hold it in place), and his individualistic clothes clearly indicate the cheery and mischievous person who resides within.
Always in good humor whatever the circumstances, always in search of a new bit to play for his audience, or a good joke to use, combined with his small stature (somewhat relieved by his hairstyle) only makes him more remarkable. Of a nature not always very sensitive, he can sometimes become abrasive and hurtful to others, especially in the case of his enemy Sissi who is often the target of his jokes, and thereby his barbs. Very eccentric, he always surprises his friends with his novel attitudes and his sensitive side, which often astonishes them, but sometimes unnerves them too.
Odd didn't always have spiked up hair. In X.A.N.A. Awakens, before his adventures in Lyoko, he is introduced with his hair as flat and short.
Aged 13, and in the same eighth grade class with his friends, he does not particularly shine with any extreme maturity, often behaving childishly. Life does not seem to him any more than a simple game, which also explains his scholastic difficulties. Producing the appropriate behavior, whether in everyday life or in class, is difficult for him to do, especially while amusing himself at the same time. Happily for him, he can count on his friends to keep him on a level course.

History[]

After driving away their enemies, everyone decided to group together and made their way back to the bus.
In Chapter 20, Odd is mentioned to have reunited with Aelita Schaeffer, Jeremie Belpois, Ulrich Stern, William Dunbar and Yumi Ishiyama.
Abilities[]
On Lyoko, Odd is virtualized in a form similar to his real appearance (including his hairstyle), with the addition of claws and a tail (and in Season 4, cat ears as well), making him resemble a "cat-boy." In this environment, he displays an extreme agility which permits him easily to sidestep attacks and making him a serious adversary for the minions of X.A.N.A.
Odd's weapons on Lyoko are his laser arrows, which he can fire from a launcher mounted on his right wrist. In Season 1, he had only ten arrows, which Jeremie had to reload when he ran out. This made Odd very vulnerable during the reload time, as he was unable to fight back against monsters until Jeremie could reload him. At the beginning of Season 2, Jeremie removed this weakness by pre-loading Odd with 10,000 arrows. In Evolution, his new outfit on Lyoko included laser arrow launchers on both wrists and were upgraded again with the ability to rapid-fire.
Odd's only Lyoko power was Future Flash, the ability to experience visions of what was about to happen in the near future, which often helped his friends out of near-inextricable situations. It was removed when Jeremie rebooted the supercomputer at the end of Season 1, and Jeremie never reprogrammed it, much to Odd's disappointment and despite the fact that it had saved the Lyoko Warriors many times. As a replacement, Jeremie gave Odd a Shield power, which he would frequently make use of.
Odd's fighting tactics are not highly developed, but instinctive. Following a logic all his own, it is not unusual for him to be the first to fall into a trap arranged by X.A.N.A, much to the consternation of his friends, who sometimes have to go to a lot of trouble to extract him. His friends often distrust the crazy ideas he comes up with, and often end up doing the complete opposite of what he proposes.
Odd particularly excels when acting to create a diversion (the well-known "peekaboo, here I am!"), to attract the attention of the monsters and permit his friends to slip by. While sometimes effective, this risky tactic has its limits, and Odd, despite his agility and trickiness, is often the first to be devirtualized.
Trivia[]
- In Finnish, he was played by Jon-Jon Geitel, who also sang the show's intro in the same language.
- Odd is a common male name in Norway.
- Canonically Odd's father is an opera singer, but a lot of people believe that Odd's father is or was a combat general in the French army. This can be hinted at when he says "About face" in several episodes, but this is most evident in the episode Marabounta, when he takes command of X.A.N.A.'s monsters in the destruction of the Marabounta.
- Coincidentally, Odd's voice actor, Matthew Géczy, is from just such a family of military men and artists - he is the son of a retired US Army Colonel, George Géczy II. Matt's brother, George Géczy III, is a Lieutenant Colonel who recently served with distinction as a battalion commander in the war in Iraq. Their mother and George II's wife, Evangeline Géczy, is an abstract painter.
- In A Fine Mess, it is revealed that Odd has something "gross" inside of his shoes. Ulrich mentions that it's "more powerful than a Laser Arrow", and Yumi discovers this first hand in the same episode when she temporarily lived in Odd's body; Odd's feet stink.
- Thankfully, in the episode Aelita, Yolanda gave him a cream to help, but it smells just as bad or worse than his feet.
- In X.A.N.A. Awakens, it is revealed that Odd wore his hair down at first, but he started to wear his hair in its current style after going to Lyoko for the first time. He called it the "Lyoko style."
- In X.A.N.A. Awakens, Odd found it unfair that he was the only one that "looks like a nitwit" on Lyoko, although it no longer seems to bother him.
- He is the creator and singer of the song "Break, Break, Break Dance!", as revealed in Code: Earth.
- In X.A.N.A.'s Kiss, Odd claimed to have dated every girl in the eighth grade except for Aelita and Sissi. He has (surprisingly, or perhaps not-so) made more attempts at the latter, however, resulting in more jealousy from Herb.
- Odd's favorite monsters are Bloks, as quoted by him in The Girl of the Dreams, and he has no trouble destroying them. His least favorite monsters are Creepers, which he also mocks all the time while visiting Sector Five.
- Odd's mobile is a silver, telephone-style cellphone.
- Odd started the nickname of Einstein, which he typically calls Jeremie, as the other group members have on occasion.
- Where nicknames are concerned, it is almost always Odd that comes up with the names for the monsters, as he was the person who gave names to the Tarantulas in New Order and the Kolossus in Cold Sweat.
- The Transport Orb that takes the group to Sector Five used to give Odd travel sickness. He states this specifically in A Fine Mess, expressing relief at not being in his own body, where as Yumi in Odd's body felt like throwing up. As of The Key, however, this no longer became a problem for him for some reason. Possibly because he has finally gotten used to traveling on it.
- In Cousins Once Removed, it is revealed that Odd styles his outfits (or possibly only his Season 4 outfit) based on the game "Kung-Fu Commando". Though, solely on the first 7 levels. According to Jeremie's cousin Patrick, the outfits get more tame at level 8.
- Odd is one of the most talented acrobats besides Yumi when it comes to fighting, both on Lyoko and in the real world.
- Odd's Lyoko outfit has a design on its chest that resembles his dog Kiwi. He also has a cat face at the top of his right glove, and a Kiwi face at the top of his left. The cat and Kiwi designs appear on his shoulder plates. When he is in the real world shutting down supercomputers that house X.A.N.A.'s Replikas, the design that is on his chest is gone but the one on his shoulders are still there.
- It is revealed in the episode Satellite that Odd knows how to pick locks.
- Besides Aelita, Odd is the only character to be virtualized in all first episodes of the 5 seasons.
- In the French version of Code Lyoko, he was voiced by Raphaëlle Bruneau. In the Japanese dub, he was voiced by Hiroki Shimowada.
- Out of the original 5 Lyoko Warriors, Odd is the only one with a male voice actor in the English version.
- He was the first one to lose all of his source codes in Code Lyoko Evolution, and is also the only one to recover some of them.
- Odd is the only one who's been virtualized by all other original members of the team and the only one virtualized by Ulrich.
- In Distant Memory, Odd reveals that he has five sisters, who always bully him. He is the youngest of six children (Adele, Pauline, Elizabeth, Marie, Louise, and Odd). His youngest sister is the same age as Yumi, and he is the only boy.
- Odd is the only Lyoko Warrior whose new avatar doesn't have fingerless gloves, as they are paws.
- Odd is the first warrior to get devirtualized on Lyoko.
