Potato

Character
**Gallery**

* Mouse
* Snuggly

***Potato*** is one of the protagonists (alongside Chip) of *Chip and Potato*. She is a mouse and a secret friend of Chip and which everyone thinks is a fluffy toy. Potato gives Chip the security and confidence she needs to embark on this new stage of her life without Momma and Poppa knowing it. She is voiced by Andrea Libman.

Potato is comforting and supportive, while remaining very playful and funny at the same time, but she also takes things seriously. If Chip is trying to do something she isn’t supposed to, she’ll stop her from doing it. Like in the episode, Chip and Deely Bear, her and Potato go out in the dark to go get Deely, which was something she was not supposed to do, but Potato went along with it.

Despite Potato constantly being aware that she's supposed to be hidden and she herself hides from others, she tends to be quite careless and sometimes can be seen in plain sight. Sometimes these acts can get Chip in trouble.

Despite only talking via squeaks, Potato can sometimes form small words like "ta-da", "uh-huh", "uh uh", and "uh oh".

## Appearance

She wears a pink bear hoodie with a light blue stitched heart on it with a blue heart on the inside. She also wears cheese pants. When she is in her hoodie, there are stitched hands, which of Potato is capable of moving. There are also bear ears on top of the hood with stitches.

## Potato's Secret Keepers

So far, currently only seven (possibly eight) characters are aware that Potato is a living mouse and most of them has chosen to keep her secret safe. Whether being a mutual agreement or just not able to fully speak yet, these include..

* Nico (told in the hospital)
* Mr. and Mrs. Dazzle (before leaving Welcome Walk, Potato exposed herself to them in Rainbow Rita)
* Fernanda (hinted, not fully confirmed)
* Bodi (plays with Potato as a mouse)
* Totsy Tot (same with the latter)
* Ron and Ruby (same with the latter)

   ***SPOILER BELOW!!! Don't read without watching Chip's Thanksgiving first!***

Potato willingly allowed herself to be seen by Mr. Diggerty despite Chip warning her to not be seen by him when she made her secret visit to him. Surprisingly, Mr. Diggerty was pleased to see Potato and wasn't scared of her; he even invited her for Thanksgiving. At the end of the special, Potato allowed herself to be seen again by not only him but to his family, the Fants, Grands, Pandas, and the Pugs; all greeted with rather pleased reactions. Although, nobody was aware Potato was actually Chip's snuggly toy.

## Trivia

* Potato is currently the only character to have the biggest design change during the development of the series. She was originally a tanned mouse with a red shirt with a yellow marking (it could either be just a yellow stripe or a piece of cheese.)
	+ Also, not only did none of the development images show Potato in her toy disguise, but on some of them, she was dangerously exposed where other characters could see her. It's possible that Potato wasn't originally kept a secret.
