STORY OF DORA :\r

Dora, the main charer, is an eight-year-old girl who embarks on a trip in everyin order to find something or help somebody. She asks the viewers at home to help her find new ways to reach places with the help of Map. She also teaches viewers Spanish, introducing them to short words and phrases.\r

Dora has a positive view of the charers she meets, failing even to hold a grudge against the mischievous fox, Swiper, who continually attempts to steal items from her party. She s against villains only when it seems that compromise is impossible, and even in these cases, fails to display ual anger. She gives others a chance to try their hands at tasks even when she herself might have an easier time with them. Dora values her family, whom she loves openly, though she spends little time indoors at home with them. She tries to introduce her traditions and customs, subtly and without compulsion, to those who are not familiar with them.\r
