5	->'''Played by:''' Creator/IsabelaMerced, Madelyn Miranda (young)
6
7	The protagonist of the film, and a young explorer.
8	----
9	* AdaptationalBadass: Dora was more about traveling from one place to another, while there was sometimes a little bit of peril most of it was about FreeRangeChildren. Her teenage self here is introduced escaping a herd of stampeding elephants while [[CasualDangerDialogue explaining their specific subspecies via livestream]], and is more of an AdventurerArchaeologist.
10	* AgeLift: In the original cartoon, she was a 7-year-old, and in ''WesternAnimation/DorasExplorerGirls'' she was a pre-teen. The prologue shows Dora and Diego at six years old, while most of the movie takes place ten years later. Dora is now a teenager, attending high school.
11	* CompositeCharacter: This version has Diego's way with animals and the jungle.
12	* CrazySurvivalist: She's definitely this way compared to other high schoolers. Her backpack has flares, tents, portable generator and anti-venom.
13	-->(Dora produces a Rambo-style bowie knife)\
14	'''Sammi:''' "Oh look, Dora brought a knife on the field trip, everyone!"
15	* EmbarrassingNickname: Dorka
16	* FishOutOfWater: Having spent years exploring the jungle with her parents, she has a little trouble adapting to city and high school life.
17	* LeParkour: As someone used to wilderness, she can maneuver rough terrain quickly and efficiently.
18	* HomeschooledKids: Was raised by her professor parents so that while she may not know a lot of the basics of American high school social etiquette, she's highly intelligent in several subjects.
19	* KillerYoYo: She has a yo-yo which she considers to be her deadliest weapon. She later proves it when she knocks out a mercenary with it.
20	* NiceGirl: Is friendly and cheerful towards everyone she meets even if they start off rude and mean to her.
21	* NoSocialSkills: Since she spent most of her life exploring in a jungle, she has no idea how to act in school.
22	* ThePollyanna: Throughout the film, her attitude tends to be very optimistic, even in great danger.
23	* PrefersRocksToPillows: On her first night in America, she sleeps in the garden rather than her bedroom.
24	* RaisedByWolves: Played with. She's not entirely familiar with the high school crowd but this results in being [[ThePollyanna overly friendly and enthusiastic]], rather than lacking basic social awareness. She later admits she knows kids think she is a dork but refuses to not be herself.
25	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: [[spoiler:Boots communicates largely via noises provided by Dee Bradley Baker, but, in the face of danger, can talk to Dora in the voice Danny Trejo. She's as surprised as we are. At this point, the other characters only hear Dora and Boots making monkey noises at each other.]]
26	* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Is ridiculously prone to this.

30	[[folder:Diego Márquez]]
31	->'''Played by:''' Jeff Wahlberg, Malachi Barton (young)
32
33	Dora's cousin, he was really close to Dora when they were young until his mother got a new job and they had to leave the jungle to live in Los Angeles.
34	----
35	* AdaptationalDyeJob: Sports a buzzcut as a teen, although his hair looked similar to his animated counterpart when he was younger.
36	* AdaptationalJerkass: In the original series and the TV show he was every bit as nice as Dora. In here, he yells at her and calls her a weirdo, although [[TookALevelInKindness he does gets better.]] To be fair, he ''was'' best friends with Dora when they were six years old, and only TookALevelInJerkass after growing up into a 16-year-old trying to be more responsible and mature, and [[JerkassHasAPoint only wanting the best for his cousin]].
37	* AnimalMotif: Has a jaguar plush in the flashback at the beginning and he notices a jaguar statue in one of the Parapata puzzles, both in reference to Baby Jaguar from his series.
38	* JerkJock: Plays soccer, and starts out rather aloof, apathetic, and shallow. He advises Dora not to hang out with geeky BullyMagnet Randy (she thankfully disregards his warnings and becomes friends with Randy), tries to keep himself from associating with her to avoid embarrassment, and then later yells at her for being "weird". He fortunately gets better in the end, embracing his cousin's weirdness and befriending Randy.

43	[[folder:Boots]]
44	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DeeBradleyBaker (vocal effects), [[spoiler:Creator/DannyTrejo]]
45
46	Dora's pet monkey.
47	----
48	* BeneathNotice: Boots utilizes the fact he is a wild animal to distract the mercenaries from being [[ItsProbablyNothing suspicious of the noises coming from the group]].
49	* SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler:He mostly communicates with monkey noises, but speaks English at one point to give Dora a pep talk.]]
50	* VocalDissonance: He communicates largely via noises provided by Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, [[spoiler:but, in the face of danger, can talk to Dora in the voice of Creator/DannyTrejo. She's as surprised as we are]].
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:Swiper]]
54	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/swiper_2019.png]]
55	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BenicioDelToro
56
57	The kleptomaniac vulpine nemesis of Dora.
58	----
59	* AdaptationalBadass: While somewhat downplayed, he's so much more competent and threatening than in the show. Given that he's the mercenaries' right hand fox. To top it off, this time he does ''not'' concede defeat to the whole "SwiperNoSwiping" thing (or at least not as easily).
60	* AdaptationalCurves: While still pretty lean, he has more of a build than in the cartoon.
61	* AdaptationalVillainy: He's much more ruthless in this film, and works for mercenaries. He even averts "SwiperNoSwiping" as the icing on the cake.
62	* FoulFox: [[AdaptationalVillainy An actual threat in this movie]]; he's affiliated with mercenaries and he helps them [[ParentsInDistress capture Dora's parents]].
63	* KarmaHoudini: Played with, while he did suffer some amount of punishment, he gets away scot-free in the end [[spoiler:and is the only merc who did not face punishment from the Incan]]. The closest he gets to a comeuppance in the end is him being caught red-handed trying to steal Cole and Elena's Inca statue, and this time, he listens to their "SwiperNoSwiping" order.
64	* RealAfterAll: At first, we're led to believe that he merely exists in Dora's imagination. Then he shows up in the real world, working for mercenaries.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Sammy Moore]]
68	->'''Played by:''' Creator/MadeleineMadden
69	----
70	* AcademicAlphaBitch: She antagonizes Dora for one-upping her in class and is one of the most powerful students at Silverlake High School, although widely disliked. [[spoiler:[[CharacterDevelopment She gets better]].]]
71	* StrawFeminist: There are admittedly a couple of moments like this, particularly in which she deflects from Diego genuinely calling her out for being bossy by accusing him of being a misogynist.
72	* TookALevelInKindness: She starts off the movie quite unpleasant but thanks to her adventure with Dora becomes a nicer person.
73	[[/folder]]
74
75	[[folder:Randy Warren]]
76	->'''Played by:''' Nicholas Coombe
77	----
78	* AmazonChaser: After watching Dora LeParkour after Swiper to retrieve the map and then grab a (slowly) moving bi-plane blade to send Swiper flying, he has this look of awe and says "she's amazing".
79	* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly, he gets a few quips in.
80	--> '''Randy:''' [[TemptingFate For the first time, I'm actually feeling really good about how things are-]] ''(the group falls through the ground into an aqueduct)'' ...ignore what I just said.
81	* TokenWhite: Randy is the only prominent non-Hispanic of the cast (the few mercenaries seem slightly more diverse), and even does not understand Spanish, having taken Mandarin.
82	* WrongGenreSavvy: While the group are stuck in a temple, Randy pulls a lever in hopes of completing the "jungle puzzle" only to end up flooding the cave.

84
85	[[folder:Alejandro Gutierrez (SPOILERS)]]
86	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alejandro_gutierrez.png]]
87	->'''Played by:''' Creator/EugenioDerbez
88	----
89	* BigBad: [[spoiler:He's the ''real'' leader of the mercenaries]].
90	* DeathByMaterialism: Subverted. [[spoiler:His obsession with getting the treasure of Parapata leads him to trigger a trap that drops him down a flaming pit, with Dora pointing out his greed caused this. However, he manages to grab the edge and survive. Instead, he is made a prisoner of the Guardians of Parapata.]]
91	* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:Once his villainy is revealed, he's clearly having fun in his performance.]]
92	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Alejandro's final fate is this. He is imprisoned in the temple while chained to a table where he is force-fed bugs. This would be bad enough on its own, but the soldiers that are watching over him sing, "You'll be here for a thousand years" suggesting that Alejandro has been made immortal in some way.]]
93	* FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Pretends to help Dora but is later revealed to actually be the leader of the mercenaries and Swiper's boss.]]
94	* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:His entire goofball and CowardlyLion act was just that...an act. He's actually the leader of the mercs that kidnapped Dora's family.]]
95	* WalkingSpoiler: Just reading his other tropes alone spoils his entire character.
96	[[/folder]]
97
98	[[folder:Elena Márquez]]
99	->'''Played by:''' Creator/EvaLongoria
100	----
101	* NamedByTheAdaptation: She was known simply as “Mami” in the cartoon (the Platform/GoAnimate community had given her the name "Veena"), but is given the name Elena here.
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Cole Márquez]]
105	->'''Played by:''' Creator/MichaelPena
106	----
107	* ManlyTears: He's prone to this, notably [[spoiler:towards the end when Dora decides to navigate high school over exploring with her parents]].
108	* NamedByTheAdaptation: He was known simply as “Papi” in the cartoon, but is given the name Cole here.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Christina X]]
112	->'''Played by:''' Natasa Ristic
113	----
114	* BaitTheDog: While posing as a museum guide, she sympathizes with Dora after overhearing how she and her group want to win the scavenger hunt, and she deliberately leaves a door ajar so Dora can go into the basement to find some pieces not yet on display. Turns out this was to lure Dora into a kidnapping trap.
115	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female mercenary in the group.
116	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is not seen with [[spoiler:Alejandro in the Incan prison.]] Leaving what happened to her unknown.
117	[[/folder]]
118
119	[[folder:Viper]]
120	->'''Played by:''' Christopher Kirby
121	----
122	* ButtMonkey: Among the mercenaries. When they think he got spooked by a monkey (Boots covering for Dora and the others), they make fun of him for supposedly being afraid of monkeys. Later on, Dora knocks him out with a yo-yo, and the mercenaries talk as though this has happened before and don't seem concerned.
123	* ScaryBlackMan: Very intimidating, though ultimately subverted when he proves to not be much of a threat once the kids get their hands untied.
124	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Is last seen being knocked out with the yo-yo, so what happens with him remains unknown as he's not with [[spoiler:Alejandro in the Incan prison.]]
125	[[/folder]]
126
127	[[folder:Powell]]
128	->'''Played by:''' Creator/TemueraMorrison
129	----
130	* TooDumbToLive: He doesn't die from it, but while standing guard in a dangerous jungle, he literally offers his hand to an unidentified frog. Said frog promptly sticks him with a paralytic poison by touching his hand.
131	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Last seen getting poisoned by the golden poison frog. As he's [[spoiler:not in the prison Alejandro is sentenced to,]] his fate, much like that of Viper and Christina X's is never shown. Of course, given that Swiper recovered from being knocked out by the frog's poison, it's likely that he did too.
132	[[/folder]]
133
134	[[folder:Kawillaka]]
135	->'''Played by:''' Creator/QoriankaKilcher
136	----
137	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She is willing to allow Dora and her friends a go at solving the treasure's puzzle after being convinced that they are not part of Alejandro's group.
