Kind, though an oddball (9)
I believe the answer is:
character
This clue is a double definition.
'kind' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'an oddball' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'though' is the link.
(Other definitions for character that I've seen before include "Distinctive nature" , "Letter or number" , "strength of mind" , "Letter; personality" , "Part" .)
