Dora IS an anime fan. Her favorite anime’s are Made in Abyss and Doraemon.

Also, this also deals with actual actors, and te kind of a silly random theory but I wanted to tal abt it.

What if Kate is Dora but from another world/universe?

Kate actually isn’t from Dora’s world

Universe? Unknown. I don’t really know how it works and I’m a bit confused with the difference, but Kate was originally a knight from a story book. It isn’t known if they made it that she came to live in Dora’s world, was just created as if she always was an actual person in the universe, or the writers just slipped it in.

In the Dora The Explorer Crystal Kingdom episode, Dora, Boots, and Alley meet Kate while retrieving the yellow (I think) crystal. She’s was introduced as a brave knight with a heavy (British I think) accent. In the Dora’s Explorer Girls special in 2012 that got canceled (I’ll insert the link at the end) Kate was introduced as a girl Dora met in the city. I also know that Kate was introduced the books, but I never read any. Then comes the spin off, Dora and Friends: Into the City, where Kate is probably most popular from and has her main voice actor, Isabela Merced. Then in the actual series of Dora the Explorer, Kate is shown in a musical episode in the last season with the voice actor of Sofia Singer, which isn’t much important to my claim but if you have theories from this you can add whatever. That’s where Kate’s journey ends for now in the canon Dora the Explorer franchise.

Isabela Merced

Isabela Merced plays a center roll in my whole idea where it came from.

Dora and Friends and Dora and the Lost City of Gold are two different universes if that isn’t obvious. Dora moved into the city at 10 or 9 in DAF while she moved into the city at 16 or 15 (I think) in DATLCOG. DAF takes place in the future of the original series. In DAF, Kate’s voice actor is Isabela Merced.

Coincidentally, Dora’s actor in DATLCOG is Isabela Merced. If the story books exist in the LCOG universe, maybe Kate exists there too, but she never left the story book and remained in Dora’s childhood. But I really thought that was big, and that’s why I took 20 minutes to write this at 11 at night 🥹

Dora and Kate

Dora and Kate are already a lot alike. They’re both very energetic, brave, and a whole bunch of other stuff I don’t wanna write. They have a few differences but they’re more similar than different. This gave me the impression that Kate from the story book was simply the Dora of her world existing within the universe. Most of the time when Dora meets characters from a story book, they end up being the main character or most important person in their world and often are a lot like her. Say Sabrina the Snow Princess, or the princess from Dora and Friends. The episode is called The Royal Ball. The princess they meet at the end looks like Dora in a few ways, and even shares the same phrase from the same person. Coincidentally, both of their grandmother taught them a phrase.

Overall, this was probably a little bad and heavily unsupported because it was a shower thought and I wrote this in half an hour because I didn’t want to lose the idea. If you have opionions, let me know or reblog/@ me if you add to this.
