Dora (Live Action)

Dora grew up in the Peruvian rainforest, where she was homeschooled by her explorer parents, until age 16. At that age, concerned for her safety, her parents sent her to live with her cousin Diego in Los Angeles to attend high school while they went on an expedition to find the lost city of Parapata. Dora has an intrepid perky personality. Even as she continues to address an imaginary audience to the bafflement of those around her, she comes across as eccentric and charming. Dora continues to act with enthusiasm and positivity despite her fellow teenage peers' attitude and it serves her well in later life-threatening adventures. Dora is exceptionally knowledgeable in many aspects of the world, despite being socially stunted. She's clever and resourceful and can speak a number of other languages, notably Amharic. Despite her initial difficulties dealing with her fellow teenagers in a modern high school, Dora does not shy away from the challenge.
