Orticia

Orticia is a former antagonist turned anti-hero in the television series PJ Masks. She was created from an ancient seed that came from a faraway jungle 3,000 years ago, which Romeo stole from the museum and experimented on. She first appeared in the Season 5 episode "Orticia Blooms."

She is voiced by Markeda McKay.

Personality[]

Orticia is usually peaceful when she grows and takes care of her plants, but becomes antagonistic when others try to disturb them or stop her from growing them everywhere, using her powers to stop them from doing so. She is also misunderstood about how her plants are lovely to her, despite being told that they are spiky and cause trouble.

Since Orticia was created from one of Romeo's experiments, she doesn't have the same level of life experience that a regular kid does. For example, she doesn't know the meaning of common words like "friend". Eventually she did learn about friendship in "Pondweed Party" and became friends with the PJ Masks after helping them defeat Octobella.

Appearance[]

Orticia has green leafy hair and mini-venus flytraps at the sides of her head. And she wears a pink robe that is made of flower petals.
