Crazy shapes, crazy shapes are the things that I do best!
 

— Nineteen, her debut

Nineteen, or 19, is a Numberblock made up of 19 blocks. She is voiced by Emma Tate.

Appearance[]

Nineteen is made of 10 white blocks with a red border and 9 grey blocks that have 3 shades of grey. Her usual block arrangement is in a "standing tall ten and ones" position, or "ten and nine". Though she changes her arrangement as she loves making different shapes. She also has zigzag-shaped eyebrows, the left one grey and the right one black. Her left arm is very light grey, but the rest of her limbs are dark grey.

Personality[]

Nineteen’s always one block off from a perfect rectangle, but she won’t let that slow her down. She makes lots of shapes with her blocks, which she has named “crazy shapes”. She’s imaginative and she has fun with her shapes; it’s clear from her energy and the noises she makes that she gets a lot of enjoyment out of shifting from form to form.

When she was first created, she didn't know who she was, even though she technically never had to "figure herself out". She saw Eighteen, a super rectangle, and attempted to be one herself, but felt discouraged after being unable to make a single rectangle shape and was always one block off due to being a prime number. This later seemed only to empower her to embrace who she is, however. She has a level of confidence in standing out and being her own unique self, or “going her own way” as she put it in Tall Stories.

Often, Nineteen carries around a red pencil that Ten and Nine were using prior to Eighteen rushing past them and causing them to make her. She uses this to doodle on the shapes she and other Numberblocks make, such as when she drew a “surprised cow” on Twenty-Eight’s shape in Making Patterns.

Nineteen’s generally friendly towards and considerate of other Numberblocks. At the end of her debut is a collage of pictures of her with all of the other Numberblocks, implying that she spent time making fun shapes with all of the Numberblocks that existed before her, even numbers like One and Two who are very limited in what shapes they can make. She is welcoming towards some of the Numberblocks in the process of figuring themselves out, such as welcoming Twenty-Nine to the Odd Blocks club in Club Picnic.

Her attitude of enjoying herself extends to enjoying participating in activities with others even when her participation is limited (namely due to being a prime number in The Team Factor), or in turn with others like in Flights of Fancy. She appears to be friends with the "latter half of the teens": Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, and Twenty due to them appearing together fairly often.

Trivia[]

  • Nineteen is the first odd Numberblock numerically to be voiced by Emma Tate, and overall the second Numberblock numerically to be voiced by her.
  • She is the only teen who didn't count up to the number itself in any way, saying the numbers or splitting up to Ones.
  • In her debut episode, it is shown that she can mimic an animal's sound, like a horse's neigh.
  • She is the fourth female prime number, and the first female nine-ender.
  • Nineteen is the first Numberblock whose main arrangement is a tens and ones arrangement.
  • Seemingly unlike her twin prime Seventeen, Nineteen realises the things she draws become material.
    • Twin primes are a pair of primes that are two away from each other (e.g. Eleven and Thirteen).
  • Nineteen has currently made the second most 2D arrangements out of all Numberblocks, behind Eight.
  • She is the third Numberblock numerically to have irregular facial features, that being her different sized eyebrows and different coloured eyes.
  • She's the first Numberblock numerically to go between two super rectangles.
  • She is the fourth prime Numberblock numerically to be female.
  • She is the third prime Numberblock numerically to realise she can't make rectangles (the first and second were 2 and 3).
  • So far, she's the largest prime Numberblock whose latest appearance isn't a Series 5 episode or Crossover episode.
  • She is most likely left-handed like Five, seeing that she drew the "surprised cow" on Twenty-Eight's pattern in Making Patterns with her left hand, and keeps her pencil under her left "ear".
  • Notably, she bears some similarities to the Alphablock S:
    • Both have experienced self-doubt and uncertainty in their "talents", S having done so in Clap.
    • Both have also expressed being unhappy being their shapes (S being prone to sagging as she is a beach ball) and not being like others in their respective shows.
    • Both are not completely unique in their periods of having low self-esteem, but are still in the minority.
    • Coincidentally, S is the 19th letter of the alphabet.
  • Nineteen is the largest and the last prime number that’s less than Twenty.
