**Seccotine** is one of Spirou et Fantasio comic characters. She was a journalist like Spirou and Fantasio.

## Bio

Seccotine meets Spirou and Fantasio on the Turbotraction affair. She had just been hired by the newspaper Le Moustique.

Although she agrees to help them, Seccotine does not hesitate to obtain information as well, by entering into indirect competition with Spirou and Fantasio, for which will be the first to make a scoop. From the outset, Fantasio and Seccotine do not support each other, which does not prevent them from forming a certain friendship, although both are always ready to take the scoops.

Seccotine then investigates Zantas, the dictator of Palombia, before discovering that Spirou and Fantasio have enlisted in his army. They actually want to use the last invention of the Count of Champignac , the metomol , to reduce Zantas' army to a purée. Seccotine will serve them as a precious auxiliary, and will pilot the plane loaded with methanol bombs.

She will then stay in Palombia to do a report on a family of marsupilamis. The report will replace the one Fantasio was supposed to do on the Kilimakali gorillas, but in front of the beauty of the images, the two guest reporters will not bear any grudges.

Seccotine then crosses paths with Spirou and Fantasio from time to time, always on the verge of causing an accident because he is driving very badly. She remains their friend all the same and is sometimes invited to their home.

She then reappears by inviting herself with them for a report in Australia , at the count's request, by going to inform Spirou and Fantasio at the airport. Just back from Thailand, they immediately set off for the land of kangaroos. Seccotine investigates the count's disappearance with them, having made an important archaeological discovery with researcher Walker Donahue. Seccotine ends up stealing the exclusive scoop of the flying monolith from them, and is greeted in triumph back home.

She continues to annoy them more or less directly thereafter, when she calls Spirou who receives a call from the piggy bank at the same time, or by stealing a report from Fantasio, when he has no income (Spirou in New York).

She then leads Spirou and Fantasio on their darkest adventure, by investigating a pharmaceutical laboratory developing clones. Seccotine ends up fleeing with the Spirou clone, with whom she seems in love.

Seccotine then tries to investigate the Paris flood but is not allowed to enter the capital. She then steals Fantasio's report on Ibn-Mah-Zoud's marriage.

In the album  In the claws of the Viper  she learns that Spirou has fallen into a trap set by "The viper" and warns him. She will then help him to escape him by asking Vito Cortizone  for false papers so that Spirou goes unnoticed. But Vito asked him if Spirou could provide him with a "little favor" in exchange!

In the one-shots, during her only appearance, she seems in love with Spirou, and that is mutual. She is the initiator of the adventure.

Fournier not appreciating the character, he only drew it once, during a special Franquin mini-story. Seccotine not appearing under Nic and Cauvin, there was a long period during which the character no longer appeared.

## Physical Appearance

In the comics, Seccotine has fair skin, blonde hair tied in a ponytail with a scrunchie and black eyes.

In the 1993-1995 cartoon, she wears her hair into a ponytail with red bead hairband, yellow ochre shirt, mint green belt around her waist, teal pants and red and white shoes.

In the 2006 cartoon, she wears orange jacket, light mauve and white shirt, gray pants and brown shoes.

In the 2018 live action film, Seccotine has light olive skin tone, long wavy brunette hair tied in a low ponytail and chocolate brown eyes.
