Coco Bandicoot

Coco Bandicoot is the main tritagonist from the Crash Bandicoot series.
== Charactah Account ==
The highly intelligent and spirited younger sister of Crash. Like Crash, Coco was also an ordinary bandicoot until she was taken from the jungle and genetically enhanced by Doctor Neo Cortex.
From the moment she is introduced, Coco is established as an "annoying younger sibling" 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 (as displayed in Crash: Mind Over Mutant). Despite this, Coco is generally depicted as responsible, smart, kind-hearted, good-natured and high spirited, her educated wit often contrasted by an innocent 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).

== Trivia ==
* Debi Derryberry, the voice actress for Coco, is also the voice behind many TV characters, such as Jimmy Neutron.
* Coco has her own theme in Cortex Strikes Back which plays during her holograms, although it's not easy to make out as it is masked by her dialogue. The game's composer Josh Mancell has uploaded a pre-console version of the theme onto his SoundCloud.
* Coco uses leetspeak in Crash Nitro Kart for some of her in-race lines.
** According to Coco's character profile in Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!. She loves tech, NASCAR, reading and Pura and she hates obviously Nina Cortex.
* She was originally meant to be playable in Crash Twinsanity, where she would assist Crash and Cortex. Like in Wrath of Cortex, she would have her own levels.
* Coco's laptop is hot pink in almost all appearances. However, in Crash Nitro Kart's intro and in some promotional artwork, it is same shade of sky blue as her jeans. The laptop returns to being pink during her podium defeat animation.
* In Crash Team Racing, when Coco loses, there is the Naughty Dog Logo on her laptop that can be seen when she comes in second place. When she comes in third place, you can see the Naughty Dog signature paw print on the laptop's screen.
** The Naughty Dog logo returns to her laptop in both the N. Sane Trilogy and It's About Time. The logo can also be seen on Coco's phone in the N. Sane Trilogy and Nitro-Fueled.
* In some promotional artwork for Crash Nitro Kart her kart has a unique pink paintjob, but she uses a regular blue Team Bandicoot kart in the game itself.
* She's the only character in Crash Nitro Kart to have five fingers.
* In the Japanese epilogue of Crash Bash, it is stated that Coco dreams of becoming an idol singer. When her computer generates a holographic image of her future self as a matured music star, Crash briefly mistakes it for Tawna.
* In Nitro-Fueled, silhouettes of Coco's default victory animation are used as the Nitro Squad's papparazzi for their podium animations.
* According to Charles Zembillas, Coco was concepted as a teenager in the Naughty Dog titles.
* The flashback tape "Overall Fitness Exam" of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time reveals that Cortex picked out her overalls (which originally belonged to N. Brio) after trying out several outfits for her.
* According to Japanese canon, Coco's birthday is on May 5th. It is because it can be formatted as 5/5, which can be read as "ko-ko" in Japanese, spelling her name.
