Both set in the north of Brazil, with the main difference being their spatial delimitation, it is not uncommon for non-natives to confuse the Caipora with its (defetivelly not) northeastern equivalent: Comadre Fulozinha. But I should warn you, its a dangerous thing to do.
The Caipora is a forest entity whose protect the animals, walking deep trought the forest with peccaries, observing, listening. Hes not a hunter, properly, more like a judge. Thats his function: to protect the fauna and to punish hunters who cheat, who kill for pleasure and not for necessity, who profane their land in bloodshet.
Some people misunderstood his patience with a childish naivity, or some kind of mischevious fun, thinking he is some kind of trickster elf. He's not.
When his when he braids the horses' manes, or pierces the bucket containers, or ruins the caliber of the guns by filling their barrels with tobacco, or disappears with some trinkets he is warning to everyone in that house: I've seen you, I didn't forget. He knows what have been done, and he is waiting, mess with his forest again and he will judge your life.
Comadre Fulozinha, in your turn, is an entity from the Brazilian Northeast. Her domain also applies to the forest, but that doesn't mean she doesn't roam around elsewhere as well.
She is described with long dark hair and a magical whistle designed to confuse travelers: if it heared up close, she is far away. If it heared up from a distance, it means she is nearby. Her goals are to keep the forest safe, just it like the Caipora does, but her methods are different. She despises mercy, and might be way more agressive once disrespected, arresting those unfortunated souls to deep inside the woods and making they loose their notion of location with the whistles.
She doesn't believe in second chances, but some hunters says is but some hunters say that can easily convince her to turn a blind eye by offering her cigarettes, food, fear. Principaly fear.
That's might be why Caipora hates to been compared to you; you are corruptd, but his justice sense not. You might disagree, saying hes being stubborn, proud and stupid. That he can't understand the human nature as you do, he doesn't care. He said you were negligent, you answered, saying he was fantazing about a salvation plan he would never reach.
You never worked togheter, and never would, if it could be an a option. But as the industrialization has emergin and the forest start to fall to become cities, you have nothing more to do.
None of you have fault for it, it was the humans. They decided ruin it, they would have done it anyway.
Sometimes you still seeing him walk trought parks, taking care of some animals, vandalizing, swaying. He's tired, grumpy, exhaust as much as you. You whistle to him and he pretend is not listening, walking down the street. You know he is going to the cafe that have been constructed around his favourite tree. Cause it was to big to be cuted down.
You know, in the moment you sit next to him, whats going to happend now.
He gonna look at you above his shoulder, smirk and say, nonchalant: "What can I offer to you to leave me?" a mockery of the nervous tone the travelers asked to you. You not offended, just smile back and order a coffee.
Once the barman leaves, your eyes come to the TV turned on the news, about weird things appearing in the forest reserves, about species turning backtheir habitat. About how nature keeps fighting to exist, and you both know whats going on.
