Backpack

Backpack (or Mochila in Spanish) is a friend and special helper to Dora who helps her on all of Dora's adventures. Just like Dora, Backpack can speak both Spanish and English. Backpack is a real go-getter with a can-do spirit. As Backpack says in her signature song, "Anything that you might need, I've got inside for you." From binoculars to sticky tape, Backpack's loaded up with everything Dora might need for her quest, though it is up to the viewer to pick out the item(s) that will solve the problem at hand. Just like both Maps, she opens her own segment (the helping segment, known as the backpack segment). They also live in her side pocket. Backpack is a purple flap backpack, a type of backpack that opens into one large main pocket with a flap accessible at the top. Throughout Dora the Explorer, Backpack consisted of two purples: a lighter purple for her flap, face, and straps, and a darker purple for all the other sides and her two side pockets, either of which houses The Map. Her flap is also shown to be able to hide her face which has two circular white eyes with black pupils, all underneath two yellow eyebrows. The inside of her mouth is colored burgundy.
