Map

Map (sometimes referred after "The") is a main character on Dora the Explorer. He is Dora's helpful guide who lives inside Backpack's side pocket. Described as a "funny, bouncy, rolled up map", Map is a kind and smart character who often helps Dora through her adventures by showing her where to go via his map. He is often a very useful friend who helps the audience of kids know where the blank is coming from. He also loves and performs rap. Unlike Backpack, who's shown to speak English and Spanish frequently, Map is often shown to use English more, though he's not incapable of using Spanish, such as in Super Map, where he helps Tico down the River by following either the red / rojo, or yellow / amarillo paths. Map has a rather simplistic design and color pallet. Since his character design is based around paper, he has two sides: his outside is a pale-yellow, partially beige, and his inside is light blue with his eyebrows being the same color. His mouth is red, and he has two white eyes with black pupils. In seasons 7 and 8, he becomes a computer-generated character, just like Backpack and the Fiesta Trio.
