"Do something, Bitsy!"
- Oblivia to Bubsy
Oblivia is the assistant of the scientist inventor, Virgil, and an exclusive character to the cancelled TV-series.
Though she had a minor role in the pilot episode and made no cameo appearances in the video games, she was the intended love interest for Bubsy.
Personality
Oblivia is honest and does not hold her tongue for anyone, though this is assumed to be because of her ditziness. She also seems to enjoy inconveniencing her boss by making this character trait purposely stand out; since she took it upon herself to "translate" Virgil's experiment participation requirements and told the visiting Bubsy the test subject merely needed to be crazy.
While the character was likely intended to be "stupid", her one-time appearance did not give her the development to deem her as such. Oblivia herself is convinced to be intelligent, besides physically attractive, and able to understand Virgil's more difficult explanations without issue.
She suddenly found herself enamoured with Bubsy near the end of the episode, making it evident she's quick to fall in love with people and deem them heroic.
Appearance
Oblivia is a curvy, blue-furred anthropomorphic cat with small ears, a thick tail, clawed hands, large tufts at the sides of her head, and dark-blue eyes with large pupils. She wears red lipstick, black pants, red shoes, and a red turtleneck with a black collar.
