Miss Oddbod

Cynthia Oddbod (A.K.A. Miss Oddbod) is the headmistress of Ashton Primary School. Despite this title, she is somewhat kinder to Horrid Henry than Miss Battle-Axe. She admires Perfect Peter's behavior a lot and he is her favorite student along with the Best Boys. She was the 'time capsule thief' who dug up time capsules from the school grounds at night in the episode "Horrid Henry's Time Capsule". Horrid Henry almost always gets sent to her office every day, and she tells Henry in "Horrid Henry Computer Whizz" that her office is like his second home. Emma Tate voices her.
== Description ==
Miss Oddbod appears to have light brown coloured hair in a ponytail and pale skin. She wears a purple dress with a frilly, pale yellow collar, stockings, and blue high-heels. She also wears glasses below her eyes.
== Personality==
Miss Oddbod is a name that strikes a chord of strictness and discipline in the minds of students at her school. But behind this rigid exterior lies a fascinating personality that is marked by kindness, fairness, and an unbridled desire to give every student a chance to shine.
As the principal of her school, Miss Oddbod is known for her no-nonsense attitude and her high expectations from her students. She believes in setting a high standard, but with a clear focus on overall development and growth. But even though she may seem strict, her heart is always in the right place. She understands the struggles and challenges that her students face and strives to guide them in the right direction.
Despite her tough demeanor, Miss Oddbod has a compassionate side that often goes unnoticed. She is ever ready to lend a helping hand to any student who needs it. Whether it's helping them with their homework or providing them with emotional support, she is always there for her students. She understands that each student is unique and has their own set of strengths and weaknesses. With her guidance and support, she helps them to overcome their weaknesses and excel in their strengths.
One of the many positive traits of Miss Oddbod is her strong sense of fairness. She strongly believes in treating everyone equally and giving every student a fair chance to express themselves. She is never biased towards any student and always makes decisions based on merit. Her students often recall her words, 'Life is not always fair, but it's important to be fair when you have the power to do so.'
In addition to being a good principal who is highly respected by her peers and students, Miss Oddbod is also known for her open-mindedness. She is always willing to listen to new ideas and suggestions from her students. She believes that their opinions matter and encourages them to voice their thoughts and ideas. This not only fosters a sense of belongingness among her students but also helps them to develop critical thinking skills.
One of the unique things about Miss Oddbod is her penchant for remembering every student who studies at her school. She takes great pride in her students' achievements and wants to keep a record of all the significant moments that mark their academic journey. This is why she keeps an attic full of mementos, including things from the time capsule that was put in place to commemorate the school's history. She believes that these memories are a testament to the dedication and hard work of her students and wants to preserve them for future generations to see.
In conclusion, Miss Oddbod may seem strict and stern at first glance, but her students know her as a kind, helpful, and fair principal. Her belief in second chances and her willingness to remember every student who walks through the doors of her school makes her stand out among the rest. She is not just a principal but also a mentor, a guide, and a friend who strives to make a positive impact on the lives of her students. She personifies the quote, 'A teacher takes a hand, opens a mind, and touches a heart.'
