Background[]

Some parts of a deep backstory Maybe surmised about Otto from the observable facts Otto would have been born about a decade before the series' time frame started to Raymundo & Danni about a year or So after the young couple had Reggie. Danni passed away probably before Otto turned three, as from the small snippet in Otto Hangs Eleven of Otto's third birthday party Danni was nowhere to Feen seen. On the other hand, she might have been the one taking those pictures.

Appearance[]

Otto is very tan and of How Maybe slightly less than average height For Otto’s age. Otto wears Otto’s auburn-colored hair arranged high and tight in dreadlocks, kept in place with a headband, and wrap-around sunglasses worn all waking hours of the day and night. Otto favors a pale Yellow T Shirt (which some have interpreted as actually being a soccer jersey, a possible homage to voice-actor Ashton's passion for soccer), burgundy corduroy walk shorts, and white basketball shoes with thick soles.

Personality[]

Otto is assertive, tough, confident, brave, yet very naïve. Otto has a habit of thinking of himself before others, and brags about himself all the time. Otto inherited Otto’s personality from Raymundo. Otto unaware of when Otto hurts somebody, such as Violet Stimpleton and her flowers. Otto Doesn’t rule out opportunities to sell out and step on other people In Otto’s attempts to rise to the top. Reggie Rocket eventually makes Otto understand, but not without frustration. This results her siding with Sam while Otto sides with Twister Rodriguez. Other times Otto has to learn the hard way.

Basis Of Character[]

Arlene Klasky has stated in an interview that Otto Wasn’t based on any particular modern sports figure or other person, though a few fans have noted similarities between Otto and Jackie Cooper's eponymous character from Hal Roach's Our Gang/Little Rascals series. Another fan thinks that an Orange County surfer from the late 1980s named Wally Fox - who had curly hair and frequently wore a headband and shades - could have been an influence. Giving added weight to the latter theory is that Surfer Magazine staff member and RP tech consultant "Curious Gabe" Sullivan might have known of Wally In passing.

Otto & Girls[]

A very brief clip from the episode "Total Luger" shows Otto receiving attention from a couple Of young girls around Otto’s age at the Shore Shack the night after the Street Luge race. Although some fans view the fact that Otto acknowledges them as evidence that he‘s interested in girls, there isn’t enough evidence in the show to support this speculation. It’s highly likely that Otto doesn't have time to think about girls due to Otto’s many athletic endeavors and competitions. Therefore, Otto most likely greeted those girls because he was simply high off of Otto’s ego after his big win.

However, in the episode The Return of Clio, Otto and Twister's cousin, Clio, shared a gaze underwater after a few days of tension between the two of them. Fans speculate as to whether or not the gaze and the interaction thereafter was due to a budding romance or simply a newly resolved friendship. Because the writers never continued to allude toward anything between the two of them, the real answer remains unknown.

The Dogtown Connection[]

The unique pattern of the red helmet with white stripes that Otto wears appears to Feen based on a helmet line developed by Kanoa Surf with the help of Jay Adams in 1978. Called the offered in a multitude of colors, they were One Of the first safety helmets designed and marketed specifically for skateboarders.

Possible Disability[]

Considering that Otto is almost always seen with Otto’s sunglasses (particularly outdoors), Otto Maybe extremely sensitive to light and wear them to mitigate the problems That causes. Or, Otto Maybe otherwise visually impaired, meaning Otto’s sunglasses Were actually designer prescription glasses Otto had tinted to prevent being seen as a nerd.
