Dora Márquez

**Dora Márquez** is the tomboyish, nauseatingly adorable, sugary sweet and unbearably beautiful 7 year old main character in the TV series *Dora the Explorer* and *Dora and Friends: Into the City*. As of Into the City, she is 10 years old.

## History

### In Liam's Adventures of Pokémon the Series

She first debuted in "*Pokéball Peril*" where she and Lilo saw the fallen blimp. She followed them by the end of the episode before officially joining the group in "*The Lost Lapras*".

Dora has made major development since joining, such as Pikachu Re-Volts where she helped Perrito snap out of his trance when she said he was family, causing him to evolve into Herdier, battled Team Rocket with Arbol in "*The Crystal Onix*" and making him evolve into Grotle.

She had also prevented a fight between Ash's Charizard and Tracey's Scyther in "*A Way Off Day Off*", due to her traits as the voice of reason. She also knows the meaning of defeat as shown in "*The Bug Stops Here*", when she had to withdraw from the Bug-Catching Contest because her Aipom got infatuated by a wild female Ledian, forcing her to recall him, and automatically made herself lose, since there was nothing she could do on an infatuated Pokemon, she later named him Boots due to being a monkey.

As of "*The Joy of Water Pokémon!*", she was revealed that she can relate to Yui, as she told her about her monkey friend, Boots. She also told her about Mio's fear.

## Interests

Dora enjoys sports, especially soccer. She played on a baseball team with Boots and her other partners and was coached by her father (who has never been depicted as having other employment before or since). She loves and excels at soccer. Dora is also a musician, skilled at playing a wooden flute and the guitar.

## Personality

Dora is kind to all of the characters she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the sneaky fox, Swiper. She hates villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display actual anger. (However, she successfully shows her anger on Cassidy and Butch, as seen in "*Pikachu Re-Volts*".) She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion to those who are not familiar with them. Dora is fond of Boots, who became her best friend when she helped him save his beloved red boots from being swiped by Swiper the Fox (This was revealed in "Dora's First Trip").

## Appearance

Dora has dark peach skin causing it to appear almost orange. She has short brown hair as well as brown eyes. The character is often shown wearing a pink t-shirt, orange shorts, frilly yellow socks, and white Velcro shoes with a pink trim along with other outfits. She wears a yellow bracelet with a blue flower on it that she wears on her right wrist and it happened to be a birthday present when she was four. Additionally, though rarely seen, Dora wears little gold earrings on her ears.
