* IconicSequelCharacter: Colt made her first appearance as the assitant of the second game in the series, and the closest to a BreakoutCharacter the series had showing up in Advance 1 and 2 as IMA representative, DS as mailman and alternative assistant choice, and Ultra Kaiju as IMA representative and Errantry breeder. To wit, Colt have almost as much appearance as Holly despite debuting a game later, and the only assistant in the series who have made an appearance after their debut and sequel game.
* SignatureMon: As IMA representative, Colt usually shows up with her Mocchi, the mascot of Monster Rancher 2.

Added DiffLines:

!!Dr. Talico
The first Expedition character. An archaeologist from the Torble University out searching the shrine where legends say God hid all the monster disc stones. As he needs assistance from a monster to sort the obstacles to get there, he requests help to Colt and the player's monster. Colt takes a liking to him and is always eager to go on an expedition with him, and he's also an old friend of Master Pabs.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: He goes out adventuring in active-volcano areas to find ancient temples and objects. He does not, however, have the Indy skills to do so alone and needs the player's assistance.
* AdventurerOutfit: He wears a beige Safari adventurer suit with a backpack and hat.
* {{Antepiece}}: The first expedition you go with him has very low required stats (Rank D at least), and the expedition itself is the most basic one, with a straight map with a single road to the only searchable area and only 2 obstacles to destroy. All expedition maps afterwards are larger, more complex and filled with obstacles and buildings/areas to explore.
* JustifiedTutorial: His first expedition serves as a tutorial for the latter ones, with an easy trek around a volcano where no one can get lost and losing is hard without actually trying.
* LeftHanging: Talico's quest for the shrine of God, the whole reason he's going in expeditions, is never brought up again after his first visit.
* MyCard: He presents one to Coltia when first visiting.
* NerdGlasses: Wears a pair of round glasses befitting of an university professor.
* TheProfessor: Works as one in the university.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Talico's probably the most sensible character in the game, admonishing others for doing careless things and bringing in knowledge and research when called, and obviously he wears a lil' pair of glasses to show it.

!!Kavaro
The second Expedition character. A self-proclaimed treasure hunter that travels all around in search of historic treasures. He wants to go to Parapare Jungle to dig up some ruins, but needs assistance from a well-known trainer like the player. Colt really doesn't like the man, and is visible annoyed at him and relieved every time the player turns his offer down.

* AdventurerOutfit: He dresses like Indiana Jones basically, hat included.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: Colt never warms up to him, and is always annoyed when he appears and visibly relieved when the player turns him down.
* JungleJapes: His expeditions takes the player to the exotic Parepare Jungle.

!!Rovest
The third Expedition character. A biologist from Torble University and Talico's son, Rovest is out there investigating rumors of a mysterious monster in the Torble Mountains, and comes seeking your help to go explore the area. He's straightforward and to the point, and Colts also seems to take a liking to him.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: His quest for the mysterious monster seems based on the usual Sasquatch legends, and well he does gets the Jill breed unlocked so...
* FantasticDrug: Rovest's Expedition is the only way to get Paradoxine, the best drug in the game for stat gains.
* ImmortalitySeeker: He's really eager to take a bite out of the life-extending Gold Peach when first found, but Colt forces him to relent as the item belongs to the monster who found it. Oddly enough he doesn't try again next time you find one.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: His Expedition takes the player to the icy mountain areas of Torble.

Colt is your assistant in ''2'' alongside her pet toucan Joy, and dislikes her full name, Coltia. Her personality is slightly more tomboyish than Holly's, though for the most part they're identical. Colt also appears in the Battle Card games and ''DS''. She is also a character in [[Anime/MonsterRancher the anime]].

* ABirthdayNotABreak: At the start of ''Battle Card Episode II'', Colt is celebrating her 15th birthday. Then she gets whisked away to Monster Paradise, setting up the entire game's premise to reclaim all monster cards and rescue her.
* ConstantlyCurious: Her curiosity shows up during some events.
* CoolPet: Colt gets an assistant for herself in the form of Joy, a toucan. Joy takes care of most tasks around the ranch, from handing down food and requests/rewards to the monster, warn Colt for certain events and even serve as an instructor during Drills.

* DamselInDistress: The whole objective of ''Battle Card Episode II'' is to bring her back from the Monster Heaven, where she was transported to after completing an ancient tablet with all Battle Card monsters. Averted at the end, as she was never in any kind of dangers and was just chilling out up there waiting for you to get there. She also gets kidnapped in the final story bit of ''DS''.
* DeadpanSnarker: Try doing some stupid task, like going to the Ranch with no monster or entering a battle rank way above your monsters', and see how she makes a sarcastic remark.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: She doesn't take well to the 2nd Expedition guy, Kavaro. She replies to him indifferently when he arrives to ask for help in a expedition, and sighs in relief if you say no to his offer. It's never really explained why, but perhaps Kavaro's tendency to try to claim the rare items from the expedition for himself is to blame here. In contrast, she's really friendly with Talico and Rovest.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Colt is really friendly to pretty much every character in the game, except the shady adventurer Kavaro. And while she shows shock, surprise or slight rejection at first sight of certain breeds of monsters, she'll help raise them with a smile all the same.
* FriendlyRivalry: She and Holly develops one after encountering each other at the IMa-FIMBA Meet.
* HappyBirthdayToYou: Colt will sing a different version of the song for every year your monster lives. This is played up in ''DS'', where she's so into singing it to monsters she'll appear at the ranch just in time to sing it to your monster every single year as well.
* SkepticismFailure: During the Metalner unlocking scenes, Colt is very dismissive of Master Pabs about the strange marks on the crops is caused by alien monsters. That night she's proven completely wrong when the spaceship does show up, much to Pabs' complete joy.




* AgentMulder: In the Metalner unlock scenes, he's a fierce believer of the ancient story detailing aliens visiting Earth and gifting humanity with a pillar of light, even though Colt dismiss it as a fairy tale. He gets so much joy the next night when proven completely right.
* BrilliantButLazy: His opinion on the current generation of Breeders, as well as the reason he established the Legend Cup. He thinks breeders start to slack off once they win the Major-4 and offers the Legend Cup (and getting added to the Hall of Fame) as an incentive to continue improving afterwards.
* TheComicallySerious: Most of the time he's serious and composed, but there are times where his more childish side shines through, like when proven right about Metalner's alien origin or when he gets the Joker Mask stuck to his face.
* FinalBoss: As the breeder of the White Mocchi Most, one of the two final opponents in the Legend Cup and last obstacle to fully complete the game.
