### Debut

Snack Time

**Blue** is the titular protagonist of *Blue's Clues*, *Blue's Clues & You!*, and *Blue's Room*.

## Description

The title character of Blue's Clues, Blue, is a female puppy who communicates to her owners (Steve, Joe, and Josh) through barking on the syllables and stresses of the sentences she means, which they can partially understand based on her expression and tone. Every episode, she initiates a game of Blue's Clues, in which she leaves three pawprints for the host and the viewer to find the answer to a question. She can talk in Blue's Room.

Like many puppies, Blue is very energetic and playful, but she is also very smart and friendly. She can get angry or sad at times. According to *Blue's First Holiday* and *The Legend of the Blue Puppy*, Blue is very different from other puppies, and not just because of her color. While other puppies like to dig up bones, this puppy likes to read, draw pictures, or listen to music. Blue is described to be the smartest of all puppies.

According to *Blue Goes to the Doctor*, Blue is 20 Ibs and 2 ft in height.

## Looks

Blue is a sky blue dog with darker blue spots and a dark blue nose. Her eyes are white with black pupils (very dark blue in the original). Her tongue is Pink if she opens her mouth or licks something. She has big, floppy ears. And a dark blue paw print on her right front paw, though for some reason an extra fourth toe can be seen when she presents her paw print.

## Appearances

Blue appears in every episode of all the series in the franchise, including the reboot. Her first appearance in an aired episode was in *Snack Time,* though she also appeared in the unaired pilot, *Blue Prints*.
