She's my Octonauts OC and is Kwazii's previous captain.
Kwazii came to be under her care when he was stil fairly young so he has high regard for her. She is known to be a bit of jester and participates in small pranks every once in a while.
Some lore for Kwazii's old crew: treasure is not something they are very interested in. Kwazii's old crew are often hired in rescue or retrieval missions in sea or as a travelling crew by clients.
They often run into animal poachers during their missions so they have a reputation for dealing with those kinds of situations.
Finley implies to have worked with Captain Barnacles before, so Kwazii often wonders if Finley pulled a few strings to get him his position as an Octonaut.
A tribute to the Octonauts OC that got me into the community:
Fawna The Merdoe.
Fawna was originally posted on DeviantArt back in late-2016 by @jade-green-butterfly (just wanted to say THANK YOU! sorry for the mention x-x). By the time I first found my way into the community (well, just to look around, I never posted anything at the time) on my Surface tablet in mid-2017, I also had a secondary interest in mermaids (well, of course I do, I STILL do.), and to me, this deer was PERFECT. To me, it was the best of both worlds, and in the end, I stuck around for years to come. I’m glad I did.
I have to admit, Fawna The Merdoe might as well be my BIGGEST inspiration for my Reclaimed By Nature and Sunken World mermaid AUs. Yuma—the coyote on the right—appears in both of them, so I figured they deserved a tail as well to celebrate (this is their sunken world design, in which case I still gotta work on that AU).
It’s March 2024, it’s been nearly 8 years since Fawna appeared on the interwebs, and I still love her.

Apparently this was a much needed addition to the fandom. I said I would so here you go. It’s literally 11:56pm I have been at this all day. My eyes are literally burning, but at least it is finished.
(Are there phones in the ocean??? No? Well boo! He has one just to call his girlfriend! It’s a kids show! You can’t get mad at me because it’s cartoon logic! Also it matches his new cast! 😂🥺💙)
