— One, her debut |
One, or 1, is a Numberblocks character with one block.
She first appears in her titular episode.
She is voiced by Beth Chalmers.
Appearance
One is made up of 1 red block. She has one maroon circular eye and mouth. She also has a gradient that goes from red to maroon limbs.
Personality
One is very extroverted, sweet, curious, helpful, bubbly, friendly, and childish. She loves finding singular things and normally calls them "one of something", while the other Numberblocks would usually call a singular thing "a something" (e.g. One 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.
As of The Case of the Missing Blocks, she and O are friends.
