Ozy and Millie/Characters

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


The wonderful cast of Ozy and Millie and their character tropes include:

Ozy

Ozymandias ("Ozy") Justin Llewellyn, a young Arctic fox. Tends towards excessive zen stoicism and Deadpan Snarker-dom.

Tropes exhibited by Ozy include:
  • Blue Oni: To Millie's Red.
  • Butt Monkey
  • Deadpan Snarker
  • Extreme Doormat: He passively lets Jeremy beat him up and goes along with all of the humiliations Millie inflicts on him in her antics without objection.
  • Happily Adopted: Knew what happened to his mom, but had no desire to search for his biological father, as he considers Llewellyn his real dad and refuses to go with his real dad when he actually did appear.
  • Missing Mom: She achieved Nirvana after inventing the perfect flavor of ice cream, since perfection does not fit in with the grand scheme of the universe.
  • Nice Hat: Is always seen with his top hat.
  • Only Sane Man
  • Parental Abandonment: His dad, who left him and his mom before he was born to become a monk. His mom... well see above.
  • The Stoic

Millie

Millicent ("Millie") Mehitabel Mudd, a red fox. Excitable and rebellious, prone to random acts of destruction, but has a good heart.

Tropes exhibited by Millie include:

Llewellyn

Llewellyn, a dragon and Ozy's adoptive father. He appears to be slightly over a century old and is prone to Historical In Jokes, especially ones related to obscure presidents (e.g., he claims to be responsible for William Howard Taft getting stuck in the White House bathtub), as well as bad Zen jokes. He runs for president every four years, despite having seceded from the United States to form the nation of Greater Llewellynland.

Tropes exhibited by Llewellyn include:
  • Breakout Character: Much like Bloom County's Opus, he soon became the biggest focus of the strip outside of the kids themselves.
  • Bumbling Dad: Subverted. Despite being a bit...okay; a lot strange, he's a very wise and responsible adoptive father for Ozy.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Is delightfully insane and is a massive part of his appeal.
  • Gentle Giant: He towers over everyone else and scares Millie to death in his first apprearences, and is the nicest character in the whole comic by a solid margin.
  • The Gump: Has apparently met every major president and was present at John Lennon's memorial service..
  • Happily Married: To Mrs. Mudd, according to the final strip.
  • Historical In-Joke: Is fond of these, given the fact he's centuries old.
  • Only One Name
  • Older Than They Look: A couple hundred years old.
  • Relationship Upgrade: Was Mrs. Mudd's closest friend, to the point where he eventually asked her out, and ends up marrying her in the strip's final arc.
  • The Wonka

Ms. Mudd

Ms. Mudd, Millie's mother. A lawyer and single mother. Although the most normal of the main four characters, she is implied to have been similar to Millie at her age. Also, her "hair" is blue for some reason. In October 2008, near the end of the strip's run, her full name was finally revealed as Mililani Minerva Mudd.

Tropes exhibited by Ms. Mudd include:

Avery

Avery, a raccoon child prone to mindless following of pop-cultural trends.

Tropes exhibited by Avery include:

Timulty

Timulty, Avery's younger brother, who radiates Incorruptible Pure Pureness (it helps that he's four years old).

Tropes exhibited by Timulty include:

Captain Locke

The dread pirate Locke, a fox who lives in a magical land inside Llewellyn's couch, is subject to Merlin Sickness, and is Millie's father.

Tropes exhibited by Captain Locke include:

Felicia

Felicia, a sheep and the Alpha Bitch (who later started moving in the Defrosting Ice Queen direction).

Tropes exhibited by Felicia include:
  • Alpha Bitch
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Probably the only literal example in all of fiction.
  • Girl Posse
  • Goth: Later in the strip's run. She stopped for a while after it became too hard but then picked it back up until near the end of the strip.
    • Perky Goth: Was so peppy about being one that the Middle School Goths rejected her.
  • Ship Tease: With Avery in her final appearance.

Jeremy

Jeremy, a Jerk Jock rabbit who seems to live to stuff Ozy into trash cans. He's also attacked Millie a time or two.

Tropes exhibited by Jeremy include:

Stephan

Stephan, a truly epic geek.

Tropes exhibited by Stephan include:
  • Bumbling Dad: His dad was watching a Doctor Who marathon and didn't notice Stephan was missing for a week until Stephan came back.
  • The Cracker
  • Future Badass: Thinks he'll be a millionaire and show everyone who mocked him.
  • Hopeless Suitor: Has had crushes on Felicia, Isolde, and Stephanie. They never pan out.

Stephanie

A description of the character goes here.

Tropes exhibited by Stephanie include:

Isolde

Isolde, Llewellyn's niece, Ozy's cousin, and an aspiring reporter. Often helps Llewellyn with his plans and babysits Ozy and Millie.

Tropes exhibited by Isolde include:
