Boots The Monkey
Boots the Monkey is Dora's best friend on the show, whom she met one day in
the forest. He is voiced by Harrison Chad in the original English version.
Boots is friendly and enthusiastic, and usually wears nothing but his beloved
red boots, hence his name, Boots. He is gray with a yellow stomach. His mommy
and daddy are designed in the same way with variations in eyes, height, clothing,
and fur formation.
Swiper
Swiper is a sneaky fox in a blue mask and gloves, who appears in nearly every
episode. He is voiced by Marc Weiner. As his name implies, Swiper steals
or attempts to steal key items that help Dora on her adventures. Clever as
he is, Swiper never manages to take Dora completely by surprise; an ominous "whisking" sound
is always audible just prior to his appearances.
Fiesta Trio
Whenever Dora and Boots are successful in a given portion of their quest (quests
are usually divided into three portions), the Fiesta Trio appears from seemingly
nowhere to congratulate Dora and celebrate for a brief few seconds with music.
The Fiesta Trio is a group of three small animals: a grasshopper, a snail,
and a frog.
Backpack
Dora's purple Backpack mochila provides whatever Dora needs to complete her
quests. The backpack is a magic satchel, which has been known to produce
large items. Backpack seems to have a lot of extra space within her fabric
to be held in such a small area. It was given to Dora as a present by her
mother and father.
Map
The Map provides travel guidance and advice. When not being consulted, the
rolled-up Map resides in a side pocket on the Backpack.
