Biography

Alphabet Lore

i did not appear much as lowercase. They were having fun with f, r, e, n, d, and s until o and l showed up and got in a fight with f.

They then escaped in fear. They reappeared again when l pushed f into letters to make them spell "frick". Along with f, r, c and k. They were angry at f and stomped on him. This would explain why F stomped on i before kidnapping them.

As an adult (possibly), i was kidnapped by F. Super N (Ñ) attempted to save them, but failed.

Number Lore

i appeared in Number Lore dancing with A, E, O and U, when the Calculator Ship passed over them, leaving B behind, when the vowels notice X kidnapped inside one of the Calculator Ship's pods, making them angry but then, L passes through O's hole and they transform, chasing after the Calculator Ship.

i then formed the word "BIKE" with B, K and E, leaving A and U behind.

After Z, with his moons, makes the Calculator Ship crash, they are seen de-transforming and standing with E, K, B, L, O, N, A, V, T and g, witnessing number Three's creation and the battle. They also witnessed L and O defeat the numbers, with L shaking out the ship's continents and X, then he throws the ship to F's cave while O conjoins the numbers with his colon gem.

In episode 4, I witnesses VAN traveling to F's cave, and while he and the others weren't looking, One broke the colon gem with his blowtorch, then the numbers reform the Math Machine while using Two as a horse and they run over the letters.

Later in the episode, BIKE reforms and they chase the numbers while witnessing g Jr messing with the equator wheel and 3 with 1's clone makes a "bootleg" 2. When g falls off, BIKE catches him into the basket carrying K's moth eggs, thus giving the numbers a chance to make 4. She dives to the ground and extends her tail to provide faster travel while carrying the numbers, much to 2's surprise. 4 makes a roadblock with her tail and this results in BIKE's front wheel popping. However, O saves the letters and replaces the front wheel with himself, allowing the letters to catch up to the numbers.

After BIKE, g, and O see the ampersand gem broken, O detaches himself from BIKE and conjoins the semicolon and question mark gems while BIKE lands in F's cave. The numbers find the ship being hijacked, and 4 makes roots in the ground to boost her and the numbers' way up, then she uses her tendrils to restrain the ship, showing the first time the numbers and letters work together. But disaster strikes again when O's gem's powers fade out (due to 1 braking it and weakening it, or the ship's heavyweight status with 4 also restraining it), causing the ship to fly to Planet 0 with F, g Jr., and a still-stuck L. BIKE watches as N and O are in grief when they lose their best friends.

Additional information

Trivia

• As seen in Episode J, I has the ability to shoot cannonballs from their head. J is also revealed to have this ability as seen in ‌nZ..., although I's cannonballs are much stronger than J's cannonballs.
  • In 3, J's ability is also as powerful as "I"
• F uses I's ability to obliterate J and almost obliterates A, B, C and G, until they were rescued by L.
• I is the only letter to still have large pupils in their uppercase form.
• “I” was chained by F in Q after F stole N's Gem.
• F used I's ability to shoot a cannonball at J. This is because when F was lowercase, J fired a cannonball at him, making F's teeth sharp.
• I has the third highest pitch, only beaten by P and K.
• The Phoenician letter yodh derived the Greek letter iota.
  • The iota letter was used in both Western Greek (which became Modern Greek) and Euboean (which became Etruscan, when Latin and finally modern day English), in which it became the letter I, which is what they resemble.
  • The letters I and J were used to be considered as the same letter, as seen in a children's book from 1743, for example.
  • Over time, the letters I and J became distinct letters.

Inspirations

• As seen in episode I, stomping on I is inspired by Pixar intro.
• Them having the ability to shoot cannon-balls is likely based on the fact that the Latin letter I has the dot. Even though only lowercase can have that, there is a variant of I that has the dot in uppercase, being Dotted I (İ), which is seen in Turkish.
