Dendy: Ernesto... We should appreciate the irony of this situation. I thought I needed to be myself, but I needed to copy someone else in my own way. |

Dendy is a major secondary character in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes series. She is a young hero and works primarily with gadgets and technology. Her first introduction in the series was in the short, "Dendy", and her first episode appearance is in the episode "I Am Dendy". She was voiced by Melissa Fahn.
In The Mario Documentary, Dendy revealed that she is pregnant; this was confirmed by Princess Maureen. In the episode The Meme Games 2022 she becomes a mother to Beeg SMG4.
As of season 34, she the graduation of New York City Junior High School. From The USB Spacecraft/SMG4's Origins onward, she is become SMG4's lover/girlfriend.
Appearance[]
Dendy is short in height, and is almost as tall as K.O. She has light green skin (though it is only green in official artwork, as in the series proper, her skin looks more Caucasian) and short, olive brown hair. She wears cerulean goggles with light cyan lenses, a golden jumpsuit, and short sky blue boots. She usually carries a teal-colored technological backpack known as her Hack-pack. In "You're a Good Friend, K.O." onward, Dendy has a pond on top of her head and covers it with a jungle green beret.
As of "Goodbye, SMG4", Dendy grows into a thirteen-year-old. she also wears a turquoise barrette, cyan butterfly hair clip, blue bowtie with steel blue choker, celeste cyan sleeveless jacket, sky blue fingerless gloves, and dark indigo belt.
Personality[]
Despite being a kappa like her parents, she has yet to show any of the physical characteristics other than her light green skin and webbed feet. It is possible that these characteristics will emerge as she ages, or she is a hybrid of some sort, especially since in the series proper. Dendy is very intelligent and driven and enjoys helping friends. The first friend Dendy made was K.O.; the two met when Dendy requested his help finding backpack supplies in "I Am Dendy" as an excuse to hang out with him. Dendy can seem a bit distant and does not seem to understand social norms, but is enthusiastic and kind once befriended. When pursuing a goal, she sometimes shows a lack of regard for others, as demonstrated in "I Am Dendy" when Dendy suggests dismantling Mr. Logic in order to get a glorb, or in the episode "Mystery Science Fair 201X", when she experiments on K.O. without a regard for his well being, simply to push him to his limit. Despite this, Dendy means well and is a truly wonderful kid, and wishes to develop beyond her current view of just science, and learn about how to be open with her emotions. Dendy also has a large collection of Pow Cards.
Powers and Abilities[]
As seen in the short, "Dendy", she has the ability to change objects into other objects, (ex. changing a tree into an elephant) with the use of her backpack. The backpack can also be used to alter the behaviors of objects, as shown when Dendy uses it to make the junkfish free K.O. in "I Am Dendy." Dendy may have invented the backpack, in which case she'd be a gifted inventor, but this is unclear. Dendy is also very intelligent and knows how to use and manipulate various technologies, as shown in "I Am Dendy" when Dendy is able to quickly dismantle and reassemble Mr. Logic's hair trimmer, and in "Face Your Fears" when Dendy knows how to use the helmets to connect multiple people to the fear game. Dendy also knows how to break into a van, and therefore might how to break into other things as well. Dendy seems to have background knowledge on a variety of subjects, as demonstrated in "We've Got Fleas" when Dendy knew that in order to become an animal, one would have to be bitten by a were-animal.
Magical Guardian[]
- Meme Manipulation: She can convert memes into energy, but only if he holds hands with each other. The energy can be used to work wonders such as creating magic bridges, firing projectiles that can hurt Cloudy, even at full power, and making Danielle grow.
- Meme Taming: Turns out that making videos of memes will cause them to get calmer, but not completely. This also works on any character who has been corrupted by Dendy's Guardian Pod but their personality change will persist.
Weaknesses[]
- Danielle's Life: As Danielle is her Avatar, Dendy's form would be severely damaged if she dies, which almost happened if Woomer and Linky had not interfered to save Danielle's life from Darkside.
- Ultimate Meme: In SMG4: Lord Of The Memes, she created the Ultimate Meme, and whoever has it can control the Internet.
- Stress of Content Creation: As the owner and operator of the Crossover Time YouTube channel, Dendy gets very stressed when matters relating to the channel are on the line, leading him to irrational behavior when she's in a creative funk.

Trivia[]
- Early concepts of Dendy were elf-like. She was intended to be non-human but only became a kappa later on.[5]
- In Ian Jones-Quartey's first pitch, Dendy was originally a different character named "Jenny" who was in her early teens like K.O. when he was originally supposed to be a teen. Jenny was originally a future cyborg from the pitch, which Red Action later adopted these traits. It was revealed that the character Jenny was redesigned by Toby Jones and later got her name changed to Dendy.[6]
- Whenever Dendy is introduced in an episode, it is accompanied by the sound of children cheering.
- Her weakness is non-fact based humor.
- Dendy lives in a swamp.[7]
- She has a very large Pow Card collection stored in her Hack-Pack.
- Dendy's appearance is similar to Velma's younger counterpart from Hanna-Barbera's A Pup Named Scooby-Doo.
- In "KO's Video Channel", Dendy reveals that every day at 6:15 in the morning she watches Rad do pull-ups when he wakes up, which insinuates that she may have a crush on him.
- Ian Jones-Quartey revealed on Twitter that the reason why Dendy's behavior was strange to Rad was that she looked up to Rad because he's unashamed of who he is even though he comes from he considered as unusual family background. They both have that in common and there would have been an episode that explores this relationship.[8]
- Her name is based off of the Dendy game console (a hardware clone of the Nintendo Famicom) that was popular in Eastern Europe in the '90s. [9]
- While she was not named after it, there is also an amphibian species known as Dendy's Toadlet that is native to Australia.
- At the start of the series, Dendy is 11 years old. From Mario Does Literally Anything For Views to Goodbye, SMG4, she is 12 and later As of Goodbye, SMG4, she is 13.
