Callidrake Mederrin

**Callidrake Mederrin** is a fictional platypus from The Kiddie Channel, voiced by Elena de la Garza. Callidrake is of Mexican descent, and she incorporates Spanish words into her everyday vocabulary.

## Description from website

*The world is full of different people, languages and customs. Callidrake Mederrin is particularly flexible in the communication department. This doesn't just give her bigger languages, but also twice the potential reach out and help those in need. Her goals themselves are self-explanatory -- she wants to be an amigo to all those around her, and do so while representing Hispanic culture. This little platypus just loves teaching others about her own background while learning about their unique stories. Bilingual in English and Spanish, you may occasionally find her switching between languages as she learns about new ideal works y con sus amigos a resolver un problema.*

## Personality

Callidrake is a playful (and sometimes quick-tempered) girl with a curious spirit that goes hand-in-hand with her love of helping others and sharing what she learns through her adventures.

She does have a more serious side, such as if she, her friends, or possessions are in danger, and her trying hard to protect herself or anyone else from getting hurt. She also does not like anyone or anything that she thinks would "mess with Mexico" (meaning that she can't stand anything that tries to make fun of or mock about her culture and heritage).

Though Callidrake is very kind (most of the time), she has a habit of being competitive, ignorant and overly sassy, doing before thinking which usually leads to conflict. Never intentionally does she mean to ignore, but it happens on many occasions. In the end, she genuinely loves her family and friends, as well as having good intentions, despite her severe lack of understanding at times.

## Appearance

Like the other characters of the series, Callidrake Mederrin is structured in a simple style to allow young viewers to easily draw her. Callidrake is a greenish-teal platypus girl with yellow tinged tangerine webbing only on her back feet. She also has matching hair on her head, a low, long salmon-orange beaver tail, dark colored eyes in an unnatural position, and a duck bill that matches her webbing color. Underneath her fur, Callidrake also has a heart-shaped locket that shows various pictures of herself and her parents together, indicating that she does love them.

In keeping with the show's general design scheme, Callidrake stands on her hind legs, her front paws resemble hands, and she wears a purple vest over a matching t-shirt with lavender pants, as well as a matching purple fedora, but no shoes.

## Trivia

* In many respects, Callidrake very much resembles Perry the Platypus, a popular fictional character. Both of them are shown to be honest, hard-working individuals, and feature green-blue fur with webbed feet, a large beaver-tail, and a duck bill.
* Part of Callidrake's dialogue is in Spanish, but she only explains individual words and phrases in English.
* Her parents were Juan and María Sánchez, two platypuses who resided in Mexico. But however, it is unknown if she has currently lost them since 2019.
* One of Callidrake's bizarre quirks is that she calls almost everyone "mijo" and "mija"... even you!
* Like the other characters of the series, Callidrake is structured in a simple style to allow young viewers to easily draw her.
* Her only vocal characteristic (a rattling of her beak) is provided by Sierra Florindo.
* Although friendly, whenever Callidrake sees or hears anything that reminds her of Mexico, she flips out, thinking she is still in the middle of it, with nobody but Spaniards, which generally results in her antagonizing most or all characters around her.
