Atomic structure of OH-?

Alkaline water ionizers create an abundance of OH- molecules or hydroxide ions. Can someone tell me how many electrons the OH- ion has? I realize that oxygen has 8 electrons and Hydrogen has one. So how many electrons has OH- gained? Is this a covalent bond? What would a picture of this ion look like"
