## Description

Bataraza is a light lavender hen with dark purple spots all over her body. She also has yellow talons, fluffy tail feathers, a purple wattle, a yellow beak, green eyes, and purple eyebrows. She also wears a green skirt designed with white polka dots.

### Volumes 2-3

Bataraza debuted in volume 2, and she had a very different design than nowadays. Originally, she had more realistic wings with no thumbs or usable fingers. Her talons were originally patterned with red stripes. Her skirt was shorter and more stiff. Finally, her eyes were much rounder and had less detail, and were more or less protruding out of her face. Interestingly, while she did wear her skirt for most songs during this era, there were a few where her skirt was absent.

### Volume 4

With the art style change of volume 4, Bataraza got a big facelift. She was given eyebrows, her mouth was able to express more, and her eyes were majorly redesigned, now appearing less protruded and flatter. Her wings were also now given the ability to act like hands. Her skirt grew longer, and lastly, the stripes on her talons were removed. Interestingly, Bataraza had an alternative design that was very rarely seen, only appearing in episode 6 and a few A Jugar videos. It was the same as her normal design, however the spots and patterns on her feathers were more elaborate and complicated.

### Volume 5-present

By volume 5, the art style got a complete overhaul with various character redesigns. Bataraza didn’t get a very major redesign from the previous volume, however, like most of the other birds, her hands were redesigned to resemble hands, now having thumbs. Her skirt stayed the same, however it now has more realistic physics and is less stiff.

## Personality

Bataraza lives in the henhouse with the roosters, the other hen, and the chicks on Zenón’s farm. Bataraza is a very caring mother to her chicks, Lito and Pío. If anything ever happens to her chicks, she tries doing whatever she can to save them. However while she’s a caring mother, she does get scared very easily. She has a sort of rocky relationship with her husband, Pinto, however the two still deeply care for each other very much.
