I really enjoyed this new take on Carmen Sandiego and thought it would be interesting to make a map with the show's characters, especially since the show focuses so much on geography.Argentina - Carmen Sandiego, because she was born there in the show.Bolivia - El Topo, seeing as his special ability is related to earth, I picked Bolivia because it's landlocked.Brazil - Shadowsan, due to Brazil having the largest Japanese population outside Japan and his relationship with Carmen mirrors that of Brazil and Argentina's.Chile - Tigress. Chile and Argentina have a long-running rivalry just like Tigress and Carmen do in the show.Colombia - The VILE Faculty. Colombia has a complex, messy history and is also the location of the legendary El Dorado. Seemed like the kind of place they would hang out in.Ecuador - Le Chevre prides himself in his climbing abilities. Ecuador's Chimborazo mountain is the farthest point from the Earth's center and the highest peak near equator.French Guiana - Chase Devineaux and Julia Argent, seeing as they are both French and French Guiana is a part of France.Guyana - Cookie Booker was voiced by Rita Moreno who voiced Carmen Sandiego in the 1994 version. I felt like I should include her, and Guyana was the last available country.Paraguay - Zack and Ivy. Due to Zack's dislike of the ocean and seafood, landlocked Paraguay seemed like the right choice.Peru - Paper Star. Peru has the second largest Japanese population in South America and, on a sillier note, "Peru" is only two letters away from "paper".Suriname - Mime Bomb. Suriname has the lowest population of any country in South America, which seemed appropriate for the quiet Mime Bomb.Uruguay - Player. Uruguay is Argentina's best friend and, some would say, it's sidekick.Venezuela - Crackle. Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is the Earth's most lightning-prone location, which seems fitting for Crackle who specializes in electric weaponry and is a former electrician.Most images were taken from carmensandiego.fandom.com/wiki… and Google search.All characters belong to HMH Productions and DHX Media.
