**Ozzie Karate** is one of Jenny's closest friends, and another one of her love interests. He was created in August 2003 by 321SPONGEBOLT, roughly three or four weeks after "My Life as a Teenage Robot" premiered its first episode on Nickelodeon.

## Biography

Ozzie used to live in China. He learned the ways of martial arts and through destiny was given an ancient golden ring that turns him into a half-human half-machine black belt. Ozzie was supposed to be married to a princess, likely due to the Emperor being impressed by Ozzie protecting China from evil forces. However, before the marriage could commence, a terrorist attack occurred on China, and Ozzie and the rest of the survivors had to evacuate China by boat.

The ship that Ozzie was on took him to Tremorton City where Ozzie had to start a new life of crime fighting. Eventually, Ozzie was introduced to Jenny, who had just caught Brad from falling out the window after her arm popped off. After some bonding, Ozzie and Jenny flew up into Space to take care of the meteors together as a duo. What they have both come to learn is that they both fight good, and that they aren't so different. From this day, as soon as Ozzie got to meet Jenny's mom, Nora Wakeman was able to trust Ozzie to protect Jenny and mentor her.

Throughout the events of "Escape from Cluster Prime", Ozzie went to comfort Jenny after he too had been called out by the crowd of people. And he and Jenny both ended up in Cluster Prime by accident. After defeating Vexus and fixing Jenny's pigtail, he and Jenny confronted Smytus, and Ozzie sacrificed himself to save Jenny from Smytus and Ozzie got blown up from inside Smytus' ship. As soon as Jenny was hailed, with Brad, Tuck, and Jenny's mom, Nora hugging her, Sheldon told everyone to stop cheering, and they all pointed their attention to Ozzie lying motionless and covered in ashes. Ozzie briefly opened his eyes as Jenny told him they won, but Ozzie died right in front of her, causing her, Brad, Sheldon, Tuck, and Nora to cry for his death.

A funeral is held for Ozzie, and through Chinese culture is buried into the ground. Once the funeral passes, Jenny is called back by Ozzie, who is now a spirit. Ozzie reassures Jenny that he'll always be there for her, and cheers her on to continue being the hero she's always been, even without him. All that Jenny has now is Ozzie's ring to remember him by. She can also use it to summon Ozzie from Tian (天). He still makes appearances after "Escape from Cluster Prime", just as a spirit. Had Season 4 not been cancelled, it's likely Jenny's loyalty and love for Ozzie would've led to the ring summoning him again, only for Ozzie to be alive again, and he and Jenny happily rejoicing.

## Personality

Ozzie can be described as philosophical, honest, wise, caring, and protective for the ones he loves. Ozzie hates seeing Jenny called out for her misunderstood deeds or suffer other misfortunes. He'll often stand up for her. Anyone who messes with Jenny messes with him.

He has a crush on Jenny, but does not let that get in the way of fighting crime. And even if Jenny has eyes on someone else, Ozzie will still be supportive, because he knows Jenny will still love Ozzie, and would never neglect him or leave him behind.

And even when they are not fighting crime, he and Jenny can be rather shy about opening up to each other. Sometimes they'll accidentally talk at the same time, or are about to kiss, only to be interrupted.

## Ozzie's Tropes (So far)

The Ace

All Chinese People Know Kung-Fu

Animesque - Compared to Jenny's design, he too was based on anime characters.

Cyborg - Only in his black belt form. He's still all human on the outside, but inside is part robot.

Deuteragonist - For Jenny, who is the title character.

Died Happily Ever After - In "Escape from Cluster Prime", but he assures Jenny that while he may be dead, he'll always be with her as long as she remembers him.

Hero with Bad Publicity - Normally in the case of whenever he teams up with Jenny, but he always comforts Jenny.

Heroes Fight Barehanded

Holding Hands - With Jenny. Even in a few instances before they even notice that they are holding hands.

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy - Ozzie is usually pretty selfless when it comes to any boy who loves her more than him, even if Jenny has her eyes on someone else. But Ozzie knows that Jenny still loves him, and would do anything to make her happy.

Immunity Attrition - Unlike Jenny, who is all robot, Ozzie is still human and is more fatal when it comes to villains like Armagedroid.

Innocently Insensitive

Jerkass Ball - To be clear, Ozzie isn't as mean as Jenny sometimes is (even when he and Jenny are in one of those "surrounded by idiots" moments.), but he will still have some of his own unlikable moments. And even if he does have a temper, he never takes it out on Jenny whenever she's involved and vice-versa.

Jet Pack - When Ozzie transforms into his black belt form.

Leeroy Jenkins

Love Redeems - After starting over and meeting Jenny for the first time, Ozzie finds a new love by fighting crime alongside her.

Violently Protective Girlfriend - Gender Inverted. Jenny also applies to this for Ozzie.

What the Hell, Hero? - In "Escape From Cluster Prime", his handling of the Cluster Bomb with Jenny causes an Earthquake which angers the whole town.

## Behind the scenes

321SPONGEBOLT created Ozzie Karate out of his love for Jenny in real life. Jenny was one of two animated characters 321SPONGEBOLT fell in love with. The inspiration for the character came to him from watching the live action "Inspector Gadget" movies from Disney. He also took inspiration from Buzz Lightyear from the first two "Toy Story" movies and how said character was depicted in "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins". As a kid, 321SPONGEBOLT imagined himself as a karate ninja fighting alongside Jenny.

## Trivia

* Ozzie and Jenny never fight or butt heads with each other, even when Jenny is in a bad mood. In fact, she never even takes it out on Ozzie since she knows she can always turn to him with whatever problem she has.
* After revisiting "My Life as a Teenage Robot" in 2016, 321SPONGEBOLT came up with the idea of his own character dying in "Escape from Cluster Prime".
* Originally, Ozzie was supposed to reside in Egypt, largely due to the beach-like environments 321SPONGEBOLT enjoys seeing. This was later changed to fit with the Asian culture Ozzie resided from.
