1

## Appearances

### Debut

One

1 first appears in the episode with the same name.

She is voiced by Beth Chalmers.

## Appearance

1 has a small crimson red cube body with a cerise circle eye on the front and a maroon mouth. She also has ruby to reddish limbs and has an ebony numberling on top of her. She appears in all except for twelve of the episodes and has the most appearances.

## Personality

1 is sweet, curious, helpful, friendly, bubbly, and clever. She loves finding single things and normally calls them "*one* of something", while the other Numberblocks call something alone "*a* something" (e.g 1 would call one bee *one bee* while the other Numberblocks would call it *a* bee).

She sometimes feels sad since she only has one block, which means she can do fewer things than the others.

## Trivia

* On Halloween 2017, a pumpkin was carved in the shape of Numberblock 1.
* 1 is the first Numberblock to not be made of other Numberblocks. The second being 0.
	+ This is because 1 fell from the sky as a small block until it turned into her.
* There is a fanmade Numberblock posted on Twitter called "Zero point Five (0.5)" / Half (1/2) who resembles 1, but it is half 1's size and has no arms.
	+ There is also a prototype design of 0 that heavily resembles 1, but it has an almost transparent block. This design was by Arifmetix.
* 1 is the first Numberblock to ever be seen in the show.
* 1 was originally white with black limbs and two eyes that resemble the eyes of several females from *Alphablocks*. Her Numberling was also in serif.
* 1 is the first square number, cube number, triangle number, and polygonal number to appear.
* 1 has the most copies shown at the same time, being 101, beating her previous records at 100 and 40.
* 1 is similar to the Pudding Monsters, due to them being small, red and are cyclopses. They also have the ability to become bigger characters by fusing.
	+ 1 is also similar to Muno, from *"Yo Gabba Gabba"*, for the same reason, the only differences being that Muno is male, not a cube, and is bigger.
* In the Alphablocks episode UFO, An "Alphablock 1" appears during the episode. Some fans referred to it as a "Numberblock" and the term was eventually used for this show.
* 1 is the first Numberblock to not be able to change her shape. The second being 0.
	+ However, she can morph into 3D shapes, such as a frustum, as shown in "Hiccups".
* 1 is one of the many Numberblocks to appear in different colours. The others are Numberblocks 2-9 and 11.
* A 1 with a square eye first appears in the Square Club episode. This foreshadows 100, as she is a bigger version of 1 who also happens to have a similar square eye to 1's. Same with 1,000,000.
	+ A square-eyed 1 appears again in Steps Versus Squares and Square Planet.
