Appearance[]
Dora appears as a reskin of David, with brown, football-shaped hair with split bangs and lighter brown outlines. This hair is most likely a reference to Dora the Explorer.
Starting from "Return of the Rocket Ship", Dora ties her hair in a ponytail, which becomes permanent for the rest of the series.
In addition, Dora seems to be more expressive than David, who only had a neutral and disgusted expression.
Changes[]
BFDI 15-BFB 13
- Dora has untied hair.
- Dora is a reskin of David and also poorly drawn.
BFB 13+
- Dora has her hair tied in a ponytail for the rest of the show due to copyright reasons.
Personality[]
Dora can be seen as a calm and collected individual, not causing conflict, and somewhat introverted. Four can understand her for some reason which is yet to be explained. She also seems to have a more jovial attitude than David's irritable personality, as she tends to sing when she gets excited about the prospect of eating islands.
Dora frequently talks about islands in her long speeches, which is apparently her only form of sustenance, or the only type of food that she is willing to eat, at least according to the Official Character Guide. In her debut entry speech, she talks about being discriminated against because of her unusual diet and has mentioned that other people have refused to sell her islands because she consumes them. This indicates that she has a fear of starving to death; in real life, this would be called "ypositismosphobia", meaning: the fear of starvation.
Dora's character can sometimes exhibit a scornful and even hateful demeanor. An unused line of dialogue suggests that she would kill Lollipop just to see her "worthless attitude disappear".
BFDIA[]
Dora can be scornful and even hateful, especially towards the viewers and David. In "Get Digging", she insults the viewers and the worth of their opinions. Her insults reflect a lack of regard for their perspectives, highlighting her contemptuous nature. This behavior underscores her abrasive character traits and her tendency to dismiss others’ viewpoints.
Since she's allergic to non-island foods (as stated by Pie in "Well, Look Who It Is!,") and due to being locked in the Locker of Losers for some time in BFDIA, she's been starved for a long time. The mere mention of islands will make her bounce off of the walls in excitement.
BFB[]
Dora's actions indicate that she is driven not just by personal achievement but also by a sense of responsibility and commitment to her team's success. Her determination and speed reflect her competitive nature. In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", she appears to be determined when she furrows her brow. She also appears to want to win for her team, as she runs up the 500-step staircase with incredible speed.
She has become more humble and sentimental compared to her first appearances in the series, specifically "The Four is Lava". When she is eliminated, she is not angry but instead claims to have valued and the time she shared with them, and wishes to tell her teammates something important before Four absorbs her, and willingly enters EXIT without any complaints.
TPOT[]
Dora forms new friendships during her time in the EXIT, particularly with 8-Ball and Firey Jr in "Out Of The Blue". While trying to escape, she devises quick strategies to save her group from Four. For instance, she throws Firey Jr at Four's hand when he grabs 8-Ball, burning him and forcing him to release 8-Ball. Additionally, she manages to save the treasure chests during a fire, ensuring they have something to contribute to the new stack.
Overall, Dora is a mysterious person with strange, but well meaning intentions.
Official Character Guide biography[]
Dora eats islands. If she doesn't, she'll starve. Who knows why? All we know is that she refuses to eat anything else. Perhaps the nutritional value of these islands is what gives Dora the superhuman strength she needs to break open giant jawbreakers with her head. Dora's language, Insulăvoric, is one of the most difficult languages to pick up.
Dora really, really dislikes David.
You Don't Say!: Dora loves to sing her island-eating song. It goes like this:
Islands, islands! Yum, yum, yum! Islands! Chomp! Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme! Gimme! Islands! Yum! Islands. Glorp! Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop!
Abilities[]
- Heat resistance: Contrary to David, Dora is able to survive in molten lava without any visible burns, which means she can withstand 700°C–1200°C (1300°F–2200°F).
- Energy boost: Dora can charge up for an energy boost that roughly takes 3 and a half minutes to charge (but can be charged faster for less notable feats). Once released, she can run up about 500 steps in two seconds. Assuming the steps are 25.4 cm (10 inches) long each, that means she can run up to 228.6 km/h (179.3 mph) with this boost. This can also be used in other physical movements.
- Super-human strength: Dora is able to break massive jawbreakers with massively thick walls with just a bash of her skull. She is also able to create a giant dent in the LOL by running into it.
- Aquatic breathing: As shown in "Out of the Blue", Dora is able to breathe underwater.

Dora in Battle for Dream Island

In "The Reveal", Dora auditions to join the game, in "Perfect Spanish".

In "Return of the Hang Glider", she watches the final Cake at Stake from the bleachers with the other Recommended Characters.
Battle for Dream Island Again[]
Fries commanding Dora to dig in Battle for Dream Island Again
In "Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know", Dora is one of 22 to make it onto Season 2, with 439 votes, placing 10th. Dora is originally on W.O.A.H. Bunch, but after everyone starts switching to Team No-Name, she follows. When she is asked for her favorite screen, she comes up with five of them: a fan shape, and the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5.
In "Get Digging", she attends the W.O.A.H. Bunch's Cake at Stake as many clones of herself, laughing at the losers. She doesn't do much in the contest, as Fries tells her to dig underground to find ingredients for the Yoylestew. While digging, she explains lots of things: islands are her main source of food, David and she are not related to each other, and in fact, are enemies. Her team loses at the end.
In "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", she is up for elimination. She is eliminated and is told by Puffball Speaker Box, likely mockingly, to go "explore" the TLC, a reference to Dora the Explorer.
In "Well, Look Who It Is!", Dora is seen with all the contestants in the LOL. Suddenly, there is a loud rumble, and Dora reveals it is her stomach because she is starving. Saw is surprised, and when Pie says Dora is allergic to non-island foods, Saw says Dora is weird, which angers her and results in her slapping Saw.
Later, her stomach grumbles and shakes the LOL, and Match says that is gross. As a laser transforms most of the contestants in the LOL, Balloony says Dora looks so different. Dora says she's still starving and is ordering take-out, then takes out a phone and orders an island. The other eliminated BFDIA contestants order islands, and the five islands follow the LOL as it flies away.
In "PointyPointyPointy ♫," Tennis Ball and Nickel are the first to arrive at Dora's island. She greets them warmly and advises them to take a pillow for the challenge. Dora excitedly looks out the window at her island and attempts to eat it, only to be frustrated by her confinement within the LOL. Her effort leaves a massive bite mark on the LOL, which Tennis Ball comments on as being "unhinged."
Meanwhile, Lightning points out to Dora that she won't be able to taste the island through the metal wall, causing Dora to shed a tear. She then announces the challenge: the duos must eat a detectable portion of the island in order for the gates to open and allow them to ascend to the next island.
Bomby and Fries soon arrive at Dora's island. Fries tries to bribe Bomby with one of his sugary fries to get him to eat the island. Bomby eagerly complies, and Dora allows them to pass as the gates to the next island open. Pencil also eats a portion of the island, earning congratulations from Dora. However, Pencil is taken aback to see Dora alive and well, as she expected otherwise. Dora, irritated by the surprise, angrily sends Pencil away.
Pin and Coiny are the next contestants to arrive at Dora's island. Dora explains the challenge to them, which involves eating a detectable portion of the island to open the gates.
As Dora notices Book and Ruby swimming up the waterfall, she intervenes and prevents them from proceeding. Bubble asks Dora what she wants from them, and Dora sternly reiterates that they must eat an island. This prompts Ruby to recall a photo of “her” (actually Sapphire) eating an island. Dora is about to congratulate Ruby for this, but upon closer inspection, she realizes that Ruby in the photo is blue, while Ruby in real life is not. It becomes apparent that Ruby (actually Quartz) and Sapphire have switched places in an attempt to deceive Dora. The trick is successful, and Dora allows them to pass. The Freesmart teams then ascend the waterfall to reach the next island.
Pin asks Coiny if he likes the island, but Coiny is reluctant to eat it due to its being 90% dirt. Pin decides to dispose of it in the garbage disposal instead. Dora congratulates Pin for eating an island in this unconventional way and allows him and Coiny to ascend to the next island.
Later, Tennis Ball and Nickel finally finish their challenge. As they hurry towards the next island, they are pursued by Evil Leafy. Dora comments on how long it took them to complete the task, but Tennis Ball, clearly in a rush, says they don't have time to chat.
Battle for BFDI[]
Dora in Battle for BFDI
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Dora appears trying to build islands when she sees that Stapy and Marker are digging, and sings. She ends up digging up some cyanide in the process which Flower picks up. She appears to be the only one that can speak to Four without getting screeched at. She joins as a result of Book wanting to learn more about her and is shown running through a desert, an oven, and swimming in lava with Taco and Saw before they become the last team who is safe.
In "Lick Your Way to Freedom", Dora is first shown when Saw acknowledges how she's the only other one on her team who isn't dead. Dora then yells at Four demanding their dead teammates. In the contest, she knocks down a jawbreaker and breaks it open by headbutting it, freeing Book, and making her and her team safe from elimination.
In "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", Dora gets on her team's swing and helps with swinging it 50 times.
In "Today's Very Special Episode", Dora does not appear at all despite being alive and present on Earth.
In "Fortunate Ben", she can be seen on her team's paper airplane.
In "Four Goes Too Far", Dora and the rest of grab onto A Better Name Than That's rocket to escape the Twinkle of Contagion. However, while in space, Saw looks at the Earth and gets inflicted with it, and it passes around the whole team. The rocket eventually lands on the Moon, and Golf Ball steps out of it. However, Dora, who has the Twinkle, falls in front of her and transfers it to her, happily frolicking away. The two teams then look at each other, trying to pass the Twinkle to the other. Due to Taco dropping back down to Earth and getting Bell to look at the Moon, the Twinkle gets off the Moon. Unfortunately for the two teams, the rocket breaks down.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Dora can be very briefly seen right before A Better Name Than That turns on the signal. If Robot Flower upholds the connection of the rocket's communicator dish to Remote, who has planted a bomb in the connection, she, along with the other contestants on the Moon, will die, so she breaks the connection.
In "Questions Answered", Dora is still trapped on the moon. She is repositioned by the change in gravity after Donut has pushed most of Earth through the camera. Later, she can be seen with her team at their buzzer, and has apparently written Taco's name for her.
In "This Episode Is About Basketball", Dora is only seen at the beginning, where she says "Da" in sync with Clock's clock ticking, without him saying "Tick, tock, ringalingalingalingaling".
In "Enter the Exit", she can be seen arguing with Bomby after X catches David. In the stinger, she is seen listening to Lollipop with most of her team.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", Dora is chosen by her team to run up the 500-step staircase. She stays completely still for a good part of the challenge, leading her team to get irritated at her, but suddenly crouches down, and stays in this position for a little longer. After a while, she begins to glow and suddenly blasts up the staircase, knocking every single contestant on it off and pressing the buzzer, securing 's safety.
In "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", Dora doesn't do much, but can be seen backing away uneasily at Book losing it.
In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Dora can be seen giving herself a new hairstyle before Gaty takes Book aside to talk.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Dora, along with Gaty, Teardrop, Saw, and Lollipop, becomes trapped under lava after Lollipop saves them from being melted with her Fork Repellent (which also repels lava). The team ends up losing after not finding an emerald, and the Fork Repellent runs out, trapping the team underground.
In "The Four is Lava", Dora is trapped underground with the rest of . She helps Saw by putting Saw's handle in her mouth when Saw says that she doesn't want to damage it. Dora is eliminated with 11,109 votes and says her last words:
"An island eater such as myself has always been fated to go hungry. As I starve, trapped in the depths of this number's wretched, squishy body, my final thought will be that of the time I've spent with you all. If only I could stay for just one moment longer, perhaps I would reveal-"
At this point, Four interrupts Dora by telling her to "stop being so dramatic". She is then sucked up and quickly and erratically goes to the EXIT.
In "The Escape from Four", Dora attempts to escape the EXIT with the other eliminated contestants. She reaches the surface briefly but gets sucked right back in by Four.
Battle for BFB[]
In "Take the Tower", Gelatin calls Flower Dora in order to convince Firey he's the real Flower. Later, Taco confuses Flower for Dora and mistakenly calls her a TPOT contestant.
In "B.F.B. = Back From Beginning", Gelatin mentions how Dora smashed her head against the jawbreakers in the second challenge and tries to do the same.
In "Chapter Complete", Dora can be seen with the other EXITors in Four's imagination, but does not speak. Later, Four snaps and Dora, along with the other imaginary EXITors, disappears.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Dora appears briefly in the stinger, watching Liy and Stapy with the other EXITors.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Dora leaves the classroom with the other EXITors minus Roboty. After Liy shuts the door, she asks "So, what now?" After walking down a hallway for a while, they discover what appears to be a dimension themed entirely around Four.
In "Outbreak At Stake", Dora discusses with the other EXITors, and because of Stapy, she with the rest of the EXITors split up to find the exit. She goes with 8-Ball and Firey Jr. to the Fourest and says "LETS GO!".
In "Out Of The Blue", Dora travels the fourest with 8-Ball and Firey Jr.. until Four knocks them to a pirate ship. As Firey Jr. stands guard, she and 8-Ball enter the ship, only for her to be distracted by a drawing of an island on a treasure map and unintentionally throw 8-Ball underwater. She saves him and they are attacked by Four as a kraken, but they manage to defeat him. Dora takes four treasure chests from the ship and they carry them back to the classroom, though half are vaporized by Four. Dora escapes with the other EXITors and, upon being trapped in the hotel kitchen, angrily smashes her head against a window. This cracks the glass and gives the EXITors the idea to break through and escape.
In "What's Up Bell's String?", she uses David to break out of the hotel as the EXITors attempt to break out of the hotel. When the EXITors escape and one can rejoin, her audition is saying she will explore many new lands if she joins, and then begging the viewers to let her in.
In "Category One," Dora is seen at the cake at stake place, along with the other EXITors. She fails to join with 10,892 votes, and her rope is struck by lightning before she can get blasted by Four. As she's blown away into the storm, she says “Goodbye, cruel world!”
In "Seasonal Shift," Dora is briefly seen in the background during the January 12th, 2018 segment, alongside the rest of her team from BFB.

General[]
- The "Origins of BFDI" video calls Dora's BFDIA elimination the "Saddest moment in BFDI history".
- Dora is based on the eponymous character in the children's show Dora the Explorer, with both her original hairstyle and initial use of Spanish being lifted. This is referenced in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3", where the Puffball Speaker Box tells her to "go explore the TLC" upon her elimination. This aspect of her character was phased out after BFDIA, perhaps for copyright reasons, but it was referenced in her debut audition in "What's Up Bell's String?", where she promises to "explore mountains, explore worlds, explore the sky".
- Beginning with BFB, Dora's speech consists of the syllable "DA" being repeated rapidly. In-universe, this is a language called Insulăvoric, which is notorious for being one of the hardest languages to pick up.[6].
- Dora is currently the only contestant to have hair.
- Unless one considered that Match dyed her "hair" in "Gardening Hero" and "What’s Up Bell’s String"
- Dora is not David's sister; Dora considers David to be her sworn enemy. She absolutely despises him so much she tried to kill him so many times, but never got to due to the "David Cloner", which is third on her "most hated list". She claims that she is not related to David, though David claims that she and he are cousins, according to david.wav. Both however agree they are not siblings.
- She is currently the only contestant to speak another real-world language besides English, which is Spanish.
- Before BFDIA 13, Dora was voiced by Google Translate (sped-up). In BFDIA 13 and onwards, she speaks Insulăvoric.
- She is the only character based on a copyrighted character to join the game.
- Dora is described by Book humorously as "A weird squeaking blob of flesh. They say she speaks "perfect Spanish"...but seriously, who can understand that hideous thing?"
- She claims that islands are her only food, even though she eats Book in Last BFDI.
- Pie states that Dora is allergic to any non-island foods.
- Dora has 5 favorite screens: a 5-bladed propeller, and the numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Dora states in "Get Digging" that she hates David and that she has tried to kill him many times but failed. Despite this, the two have never directly interacted, even though they can be seen in proximity to each other in several episodes and coexist in the EXIT just fine.
- Dora is the only contestant in BFDIA who did not die during the season.
- Dora is the only BFDIA contestant who has never killed another character, similarly to David in BFDI.
- "Get Digging" is the last episode she speaks in BFDIA, before BFB, and before her language changes to Insulăvoric.
- In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", she is first shown to be immune to lava.
- Dora speaks without making wrinkles near her mouth. David, on the other hand, does. This could possibly be more evidence that they are not related.
- Dora's handwriting involves straight, short lines, as evidenced by 's logo on the buzzer in "Questions Answered".
- Dora also wrote Taco's name in the same episode, as Taco was dead.
- Since "Return of the Rocket Ship", Dora has worn her hair differently. It is likely this decision was made to avoid any copyright stigma from Paramount (formerly known as Viacom), the company that currently holds the copyright to Dora the Explorer. Her old hair currently has no relations or being unauthorized from Paramount.
- It was theorized that this decision was forced by Scholastic themselves for the Battle for Dream Island: Official Character Guide, which was in production at the same time.
- Dora has spoken in only 6 episodes of pre-split BFB (37.5%), with only 2 of them being subtitled (12.5%).
- Dora has a recommended variation of her named Forehead Dora, despite being a variation of another character herself.
- Dora's autobiography can be seen on Book's pages in the "Last BFDI" video.
- Dora made up a song about eating islands that goes, "Islands, islands! Yum, yum yum! Islands, islands! Chomp. Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! Gimme! Gimme gimme, gimme! Gimme. Islands! Yum! Islands. Glorp. Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop! Gulp! Lala! Islands."
- This is what Dora said in Perfect Spanish when Fries told her to get digging:
- "I am very glad Fries gave me the shovel, and, with it, the ability to dig. I know that if I can dig, I can create islands! And since islands are my only food, creating islands is very important to me. I love islands so much that I have written my very own island song. Would you like to hear it? Never mind - I don't care about your opinion. I'm going to sing it anyway. It goes - 'Islands, islands! Yum, yum yum! Islands, islands! Chomp. Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! Gimme! Gimme gimme, gimme! Gimme. Islands! Yum! Islands. Glorp. Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop! Gulp! Lala! Islands.' So, what did you think? Never mind - I don't care about your opinion. I know that you, being biased against us island-eaters, will say you hate it. But we island-eaters know that all the songs we write are wonderful. My two favorite things in the world are islands and songs. My two least favorite things are you and David. David is not my brother. He is not even related to me. I have tried to kill him plenty of times, but all my attempts have failed miserably. Most of my failures are the result of the horrendous "David Cloner." I forgot to tell you that the David Cloner ranks third on my least favorite list. Anyway, back to islands. I like islands. They are good. So good, I want to sing my song again! 'Islands, islands! Yum, yum yum! Islands, islands! Chomp. Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! Gimme! Gimme gimme, gimme! Gimme. Islands! Yum! Islands. Glorp. Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop! Gulp! Lala! Islands.' "
- This is what Dora said in "Getting Teardrop to Talk":
- "Digging! How novel. If I am to build and produce islands for consumption, acquiring dirt in this jubilant manner seems most appropriate."
- In the same scene, she later sings:
- "♪ Islands, islands! Yum, yum, yum! Islands, islands! Chomp. ♪ ♪ Islands! They are so delish! Gimme islands now! ♪ ♪ Gimme! Gimme, gimme, gimme! Gimme. Islands! Yum! ♪ ♪ Islands. Glorp! Shlorp! Gobble! Gloop! Gulp! Lala! Islands. ♪ ♪ Islands, islands! Yum, yum, yum! Islands, islands! Chomp. ♪ ♪ Islands! Yum. ♪ "
- Her recommender JACKIEMON1 deeply regrets creating her because he realized how stupid of a character she is for being copyrighted (specifically being that Dora was recommended to be the cartoon character Dora the Explorer).[7]
- Dora spent the least time in the EXIT with 4 years, 11 months, 3 days.
