Coco Bandicoot

Coco Bandicoot is Crash Bandicoot's intelligent younger sister.
== Appearance ==
Coco is an orange furred eastern barred bandicoot with cream markings on her mouth and neck area. She has big and wide green eyes and thin brown eyebrows. Coco has a small, relatively short muzzle, and triangular shaped ears. Her hair is a golden blonde and somewhat curly, and it is typically tied in a ponytail. Coco's body is more humanoid than her older brother's, Crash.
=== Attire ===
From Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back to Crash Team Racing, Coco wore a white and red t-shirt, blue overalls with one strap undone, pink sneakers, and a pink flower in her hair. She wears pink makeup, as well. However, starting with Crash 4, her appearance changed slightly. She swapped the flower in her hair for a pair of goggles, and she now has a heart-shaped patch on her overalls. She also wears a pink bracelet and a pink belt with a gold buckle. She still wears lipstick and eyeliner, but no eyeshadow.
In Gothic's universe, she wears a primarily white T-shirt with a blue collar and blue around the sleeves. Like the Mind over Mutant and Crash 4 versions of Coco, she wears a pair of goggles, although hers are red in color. Also like Mind over Mutant Coco, Gothic's version wears yellow pants. Her sneakers are blue with a small pink heart design on them. She wears a pink bracelet on her left wrist.
== Personality ==
From the moment she is introduced, Coco is established as a "mistress" sort of character and uses Crash to perform certain errands whenever she sees fit. Her work ethic can be best described as domineering; most of the time, she only works on what she wants to do and largely ignores what really needs to be done, such as cleaning the house. Despite this, Coco is generally depicted as cheerful and high spirited, her educated wit often contrasted by an innocent childlike demeanor. Despite their contrasting personalities, Coco is far from prissy and is generally tolerant, if not outright amused by Crash's behavior. She also shares his altruistic code, even to some enemies (as Crash had taken sympathy on Krunk in Nitro Kart, Coco felt pity for Nash, using her hack smarts to make the "poor shark thingy" take a long needed nap).
She is great with technology as she carries a pink laptop occasionally and is skilled at hacking, as seen in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, when she intercepts Cortex's messages to convince her brother not to listen to him. Below the Bandicoot House lies Coco's VR Hub System, which resides in a secret lab seen in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. It works similar to the Time Twister in that it can warp to different places around the world, the only difference being in the present time.
Coco is generally depicted a lucid foil for Crash, often taking the role of straight man or spokesman whenever Aku Aku isn't around. She is not without her own dizzy moments however, and is certainly not immune to the same slapstick buffoonery that so often befalls her brother.
== Backstory ==
=== Early life ===
Coco Bandicoot, like her brother and a majority of Doctor Neo Cortex's minions, was originally a normal animal. She was one of the last animals to be put into the Evolvo-Ray. However, Coco escaped before she was put through the Cortex Vortex, so she was not loyal to Cortex. Coco hid in the jungle, where eventually she met her older brother, Crash.
=== Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back ===
Coco is first seen in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back living on N. Sanity Island with Crash. One day, when the battery for her laptop runs out, she sent Crash off to find a replacement battery for her. When Coco discovered that Crash was gathering crystals for Cortex, she became suspicious of Cortex, and decided to hack into his computer to see what he was really up to. What she found were detailed schematics for an improved Cortex Vortex, and a suspicious-looking space station. She learned of Cortex's real plan, just as Crash had gathered all the crystals, and revealed Cortex's intentions to Crash before he could give the crystals to Cortex. She appeared beside N. Brio and her brother when they were ready to destroy the Cortex Vortex.
=== Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped ===
In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Coco was called upon by Aku Aku to use Doctor Nefarious Tropy's Time Twister Machine and gather the powerful crystals in their original places before Cortex did so. Coco helped by gathering the crystals in 17th century China, the 18th century Pacific Ocean, and World War I Europe. She was also responsible for the defeat of Doctor N. Gin on the moon, with her pet tiger, Pura, assisting her.
=== Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time ===
In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Coco was introduced at the end of N. Sanity Peak.

== Abilities ==
Coco possesses most abilities that are shared with her brother, Crash, with the exception of immunity from mind control. However, she's not as physically active as Crash.
* Scientific Genius - Genius-Level Intellect - Coco's most notable trait is her high intelligence; her intelligence quotient is said to be as much as 164. With such high intelligence, Coco is able to create a number of complex machines and hack into virtually any computer. She also was able to construct an entire warp room in the house for traveling across the globe (Wrath of Cortex).
* Expert Combatant - Aside from her high intelligence, Coco is able to physically fend for herself, knowing an array of martial arts leg moves, one powerful enough to create a large shock wave and she can also spin like her brother can.
* Aptitude - Coco is also shown to be a skilled scooter, snowboard, tiger, airplane, spaceship, kart, and tank rider. She's also a fast learner, picking up information and creating new machines or gadgets faster than Doctor Neo Cortex with greater reliability.
