Bartholomew Oobleck

Bartholomew Oobleck is a teacher at Beacon Academy. He is first seen in Jaunedice, Pt.2 teaching history to the students, specifically teaching about a war between Humans and Faunus, which appears to have taken place a few generations before the start of the series.

Appearance
Bartholomew Oobleck appears to be a younger man (in comparison to Peter Port) with messy green hair and brown eyes. His attire is disheveled: his white shirt half tucked into dark green pants and his collar raised, showing a slack yellow tie, along with mismatched brown and black shoes. He also has round glasses that are opaque in appearance.

Personality
Bartholomew's trademark characteristics are his extreme hyperactivity and his love for coffee. Not only does Bartholomew 'glide' about in class at incredible speeds numerous times, he also speaks at a very fast pace. When moving, he often appears as a blur (such as when he exits the class) or moves so quickly that his legs appear stationary. This energy might be a result of him constantly drinking what seems like coffee. His mug is similar to that of Professor Ozpin, a fellow coffee addict (if the drink is indeed coffee). Furthermore, his unkempt look and the mess on and around his desk suggests that he has little to no regard for tidiness.

During his class, Bartholomew is shown to be very enthusiastic and strict about his work, being very happy when inattentive students like Jaune seem ready to contribute to class and punishes poorly performing students. He views history as an important way to prevent the repetition of past mistakes. Bartholomew also highly respects Faunus, shown when his head shook disapprovingly at Cardin's discriminatory remark, showing his hate for racism.

Trivia

 * His name may be inspired by Dr. Seuss's Bartholomew and the Oobleck.
 * Also, Oobleck in the story is a light green substance, much like the color of Dr. Oobleck's hair.
 * Dr. Oobleck seems to glide across the floor, as his legs never seem to move when he walks.
 * Initially, Oobleck had been intended to be a more boring and lethargic instructor.
