Oscar Marsh

**Oscar Marsh** is a kid who is one of Molly's friends. He was introduced in the episode, "Herring Eggs or Bust". Prior to that, he was a mentioned character. He is the son of the school teacher, Renate Marsh, and the grandson of "Auntie" Midge, the Qyah tribal chief.

## Age

He is a grade above Molly and Tooey in school, making him about 11 years old. Despite this, he is shown to be in the same class as them at school. Since Qyah is a very small town, all the kids are grouped together in the same class, regardless of age.

## Personality

Studious and ambitious, he is also a talented fiddler. Oscar is a bit hesitant to travel outside of Qyah - he prefers to read about nature rather than be in nature. In spite of his hesitance, Oscar is an active member of the Neegoo Tsal (Little Foxes) nature troupe, along with the other five kids in his class. He is a very dedicated and talented fiddler, and was excited to finally be old enough to play in the local fiddle festival. He is a great admirer of fiddler Finnegan King, the most famous person Qyah has produced. After he meets Finnegan, Oscar is able to routinely play the fiddle alongside his idol.

Oscar is also very observant and helpful. He is able to make well informed decisions by comparing multiple sources of information, as he demonstrated in The Qyah Ice Classic, when he used information from each of his friends to accurately predict when the ice on the Kantishna River would break up.

Oscar's favorite animal is the lynx, and he often plays as one using false ears and whiskers. He is a little scared of heights, but uses his lynx persona to help him overcome this fear. He has also created his own superhero based on the lynx.

Oscar is very close to his grandma, and shares her taste in television. He gets great enjoyment out of watching "the Butler of Finicky Manor" with her. He is also shown to be close to his parents. He's not embarrassed to let his mom tuck him in during a sleepover in a gym, and he has helped put on a play to honor his father and his friends' fathers.

## Appearance

Oscar is a young boy with tan skin, fluffy black hair, and dark eyes. He usually wears a dark green sweatshirt with light brown cuffs, khaki pants, and brown sneakers with dark brown laces and dark brown soles.
In wintertime, he wears a fluffy brown hat and a lime-green coat.
