Boots (Dora the Explorer) Harrison Chad (seasons 1-4 and Go, Diego, Go!)

Description

Boots is a five-and-a-half (four for the first 12 episodes, and later five) year old furry monkey and Dora's best friend who is the co-host of the series. He likes to hold Dora's hand. Boots sometimes gets discouraged when things go wrong. When he is feeling down, he always bounces back quickly with one of his flips. No one can make Dora laugh the way Boots can. Description Boots is an athletic and energetic monkey. He performs a series of acrobatic flips, somersaults, and cartwheels, along the way to their destination. His lightweight also makes him easy to carry, even for Dora. Without guidance from Dora, the viewer, or another character, Boots is quick to take his own, often dangerous or dead-ended, route. Dora often acts as the voice of reason. Boots also "loves" many things. In one episode, he would say many times (e.g. "I love riddles. Call me 'Mr. Riddles'"; "I love nuts"; "I love chocolate"; "I love my ball"; "…and I love, love, love..."). Most importantly, however, Boots loves Dora and Dora loves him back, as both expressed verbally and physically in numerous episodes. His devotion and love always have Boots more than willing to drop whatever he's doing at the moment and make space in his random mental schedule for Dora. For her sake, he has even engaged in his own single adventures assisted by the viewers. Boots' Spanish vocabulary is limited but steadily increasing. Dora teaches him Spanish through "memorable" songs and phrases. Boots is a character who Dora met one day, and is her best friend. He is friendly and enthusiastic and usually, wears his beloved red boots, hence his name. His parents look similar, with variations in eyes, height, clothing, and wings. Boots is present with Dora on most of her adventures, and he helps Dora to solve clues and puzzles. He also loves baseball and is on a team with Dora as shown in one episode. He loves to ride Rojo the fire truck. History Boots was voiced by Harrison Chad in the first four seasons and then, from seasons five to seven, by Regan Mizrahi; and for season eight, by Koda Gursoy. Then, he is currently voiced by Asher Spence in the new generation series. In "Dora's First Trip," Dora reveals that she met Boots while he was playing. Before Boots became a monkey, he was originally going to be a mouse. Looks Boots' fur is mostly a periwinkle color, while his cheeks and hands are pink. He has a yellow stomach and a pair of white eyes and black pupils. He is shown wearing a pair of bright red boots with and dark red soles. His tail is also periwinkle with yellow on the end. Whenever he takes his boots off, his feet appear to be pink as well. In the reboot series, his eyes are given blue irises and his boots have banana patches on the side of his ankles.
