Opal Otter is the wife of Ernest Otter and the mother of the three kids, Peanut, Jelly and Butter.

AFN Description[]

You can't ask for a more patient, warm, kind-hearted mom than Opal Otter, who tends her family and houseboat. She works at home as a seamstress and sometimes looks after the neighbors' kids. She loves to laugh and have a good time, and encourages her children to make the most of every day. But Opal knows exactly how to draw the line and make sure PB&J live up to their responsibilities while giving them room to figure out things for themselves.

Physical Appearance[]

She is a purple river otter with a matching dark purple afro. Her eyes are black dots and she wears glasses. She is almost always seen wearing a fish-patterned apron and pink slippers.

Background[]

Opal has lived on Lake Hoohaw for her entire life. Before her sister, Anna, moved to Howdydoo Island, Opal often hung out with her and Betty Lou Beaver. When a new otter, Ernest, moved in from the city, Opal was resistant at first to get to know him. However, when she gave Ernest a chance, she ended up getting married to him. 

Opal and her family[]

While Opal is more of the serious type unlike her husband, you could still say that the two of them are a perfect couple. Sometimes during the evening, Opal and her family hang out on their dock and talk about their day.

Opal often plays with PB&J upon them asking her to. She is well-loved by her family, as PB&J once took care of her chores for the day when she was sick. ("Mama for a Day") Sometimes, Opal can be seen doing the Noodle Dance with her kids, such as in "Sherlock Otter."

Opal and Ernest Otter's parenting style can be described as somewhat hands-off. While they are there to offer their children advice if they need it, they encourage their children to use their brains, and work through their problems in a smart and fair manner.

Trivia[]

  • Opal is known to be a good baker.
  • Opal has a special recipe for Magic Mud that helps make faces look beautiful.
  • Due to her having an African-American voice actress and appearance, it can be presumed Opal and Ernest represent an interracial couple.
  • Opal sometimes wears a seashell necklace that doubles as a clock.
  • Like her husband and her daughter Butter, she has dots for eyes.
  • She can play the guitar. [1]
  • Opal is the only member of the Otter family to not come up with an idea after the Noodle Dance ends in any story. While Peanut and Jelly generally have ideas from the Noodle Dance (mostly Jelly), Ernest says "I've got it, y'all!" after the Noodle Dance in Otters of the Wild, while Baby Butter gets an idea in Butter Tags Along.
