Dora the Explorer

Dora Marquez, also known as Dora the Explorer, is the titular main protagonist of the Dora series.
==Charactah Account==
Dora is kind to all of the characters she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the sneaky fox, Swiper. She hates villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display actual anger. She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion to those who are not familiar with them. Dora is fond of Boots, who became her best friend when she helped him save his beloved red boots from being swiped by Swiper the Fox.
Dora enjoys sports, especially soccer. She played on a baseball team with Boots and her other partners and was coached by her father (who has never been depicted as having other employment before or since). She loves and excels at soccer. Dora is also a musician, skilled at playing a wooden flute and the guitar.

==Trivia==
*It's unknown what Dora's exact nationality is despite being Latina. The show never specifically mentioned her true nationality.
*Dora is a Latina. Early concepts of Dora had her as a blonde girl of European ancestry. The character was originally based on a niece, Lilli, of Rick Velleu, one of the creators of the show.
*Dora was originally going to be a little bunny, Benjamin Bunny who went on adventures with his mom everyday, then they grew to a little girl named Tess, and then Nina.
*Dora (along with Backpack) is the only one never to get Character Find at the end of each episode during the end credits.
*Boots to the Rescue is the only episode Dora doesn't travel with Boots because she's at school and he runs there right away to bring her song to her. It's also the only episode where she makes a minor appearance and doesn't appear as the first character to begin the episode like she always does. Boots is the first character and the host instead of her.
*Dora is also voiced by Kathleen Herles even as a doll or a toy.
*Dora has chosen Boots has her partner to go traveling with all the time because he's the first friend she meets which is revealed in Dora's First Trip.
*Dora's last name was mentioned twice in Dora the Explorer, Grandma's House and Surprise!, when Boots addressed Mami as "Señora Márquez".
*Whenever Dora and Boots travel anywhere, they sing the Travel Song but when they're done with their adventure, they sing We Did It!.
*Whenever Dora and Boots sing songs, sometimes they would cut the songs off during them singing and due to emergencies or sometimes they'd just cut them off for a timeout when the instrumentals are rolling and getting the viewer's attention of how they should sing them like if they wanted to in special ways.
*Dora doesn't always travel with Boots in every episode even though they're best friends and are meant to be together, she only travels with Isa once as his replacement in Isa's Unicorn Flowers and she sometimes travels with Swiper whenever he's on his good side or she sometimes travels with both Boots and Swiper with or without Boots, however, she also sometimes travels alone without Boots or anyone with her.
*Whenever Dora gets mad sometimes, she never seems to make any angry looks throughout the series, not even once.
*In most double-length episodes, Dora gets a new outfit or form, either by retrieval or a magical transformation. The only double-length episodes where this does not happen are Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure and Dora's Big Birthday Adventure.
