Team Voltron 

Vld-0

In General

  • Ace Pilot: Shiro was already this and Keith was on his way there at the start. Then the others grew into it as well.
  • Badass Crew: They form Voltron. That is all.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Each Paladin gets their color according to their Lion. Subverted later, however.
  • The Chosen Many: Definitely.
  • Freudian Trio: Lance (id), Hunk (super-ego), and Pidge (ego).
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: Frequently accused of being this. It's more understandable regarding Shiro hanging out more with Pidge and Keith, since they genuinely need his help much more than Lance and Hunk do.
  • Fire-Forged Friends: They start out as Teeth-Clenched Teamwork but hit this by the Season 1 finale.
  • Five-Man Band: Zigzagged all around, since Team Voltron has more members than in the original.
  • Generation Xerox: With the original ones, as shown later in the series.
  • Lady and Knight: Like in the original, they play it straight and then subvert it when Allura joins them in the battlefield.
  • La Résistance: Technically, they become this towards the Galra Empire. And then they work with a more "traditional" resistance group, the Blade of Marmora.
  • Only One Name: Only Shiro and Pidge's surnames have been revealed.
  • True Companions: At times they may not like one another, and it takes them a while to really mesh together, but they ultimately pull through.
  • Space Cadet: Pidge, Hunk and Lance begin as this in the Galaxy Garrison. Keith used to be one, but left the Garrison before the series started. (More exactly, Keith was thrown out when Shiro and the other members of the Kerberos expedition disappeared and were pronounced dead by the higher-ups, and he openly and near violently questioned it)

Princess Allura of Altea

P0VcYqbE 400x400

Like in the original, Allura is the Princess of Planet Altea. Unlike the original, Altea was wiped away 10.000 years before the series begins, and she survived after her father King Alfor stashed her into a cryogenization pod before sending the Lions away and dying at the hands of the Galra Empire.

When the Blue Lion brings the soon-to-be Paladins and they awaken her and her few remaining companions (her Parental Substitute Coran and the Space Mice) from their slumber, she sees that they're The Chosen Many and officially makes them the Space Paladins, so they can fight back against the Galra Empire and protect the universe. Initially she's the Mission Control of sorts, piloting their base (the Castle of Lions), but later she becomes the Blue Paladin and fights with the others.

  • Adaptational Badass: She's more straightforward and fight-happy than in the original series.
  • Action Girl: As a result of the trope above, this Allura is a pretty good fighter on her own. She also develops her own magical powers and takes over Blue Lion.
  • Aliens of London: Has a British accent in the original English dub, which seems to be a trait of Alteans as a whole.
  • Ambiguously Brown: Unlike her original blonde and pale-skinned self, Allura has dark skin. Fans have referred to her as the space version of a Dark Elf.
  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: What her Heroic Sacrifice to save the realities destroyed by Honerva entailed, more or less. It's not fully clear if she effectively died, only that she cannot fully return to Team Voltron. Word of God states, however, that there is the chance for her to eventually come back.
  • Badass Princess: Oh YES.
  • Boobs of Steel: Has a rather curvy figure and a nicely-sized rack, and is a VERY strong fighter.
  • Cool Big Sis: Towards Pidge, since they're Two Girls to a Team for quite a while.
  • Daddy's Girl: She loved both of her parents a lot, but was especially close to her father Alfor.
  • Extraordinarily Empowered Girl: Only Haggar can rival this girl's capacity to use and manipulate Quintessence.
  • Facial Markings: All Alteans have marks on their faces, and hers are pink. She can also give those to non-Alteans if she wishes to, and it's shown when she gives Lance small light-blue marks under his cheekbones before her Heroic Sacrifice Additionally, Allura later finds out that she has other marks which, like in Lotor's case, signals her as The Chosen One for Oriande, the world where Altean alchemy comes from.
  • Fantastic Racism: Towards the Galra, after her people were killed by them. Part of her Character Development is based on her realizing that despite the actions of The Empire, not every single Galra or half-Galra is evil.
  • Fatal Flaw: She at first has quite the case of Black and White Morality, especially regarding the Galra. This causes quite the problems when dealing with the Blade of Marmora, which is formed by Galra citizens who rebel against The Empire. And when Keith is revealed to be half-Galra.
  • Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: She's very beautiful and feminine, loves small animals and adores sparkly stuff like jewelry. But she also has Super Strength, plus a quite more straightforward personality than in the original.
  • Healing Hands: She can use her magic powers like this. Best seen when she helps out the Balmera, revives trees and flower fields.... And when she brings Lance back from the brink of death.
  • Hot-Blooded: She's extremely emotional, and can be pretty impulsive. She went near berserk after learning what her then-boyfriend Lotor had used surviving Alteans as living batteries.
  • Interspecies Friendship: With the Space Mice (including a Psychic Link) and the Paladins.
  • Interspecies Romance: With either the human Lance or the half-Galra Lotor.
  • Lady of War: A pretty powerful and elegant fighter.
  • Master of Disguise: Alteans seem to have the ability of hiding some of their physical traits to blend in, and Allura is no exception.
  • Meet Cute: When Allura stumbled out of her capsule, she ended up falling into Lance's arms. Hilariously subverted when she actually realizes what's going on and pins him to the floor.
  • Plucky Girl: A very strongwilled young lady.
  • Politically-Active Princess: She does her best to do this in the complicated space-war environment that she and her companions are thrown into.
  • Relationship Upgrade: First with Lotor, then with Lance.
  • Ship Tease: With the aforementioned Lance and Prince Lotor. She chooses Lance in the end, but later they become Star-Crossed Lovers.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She's pretty much a younger version of her late mother, Queen Melenor. It's so strong, when Zarkon's ghost first sees her, he actually assumes she is Melenor.
  • True-Blue Femininity: She tends to dress in blue clothes.
  • Weapon of Choice: She gains one later, as she can use the Blue Lion's Bayard as a Whip Sword.
  • White-Haired Pretty Girl: A beautiful young woman with snow-white hair, Innocent Blue Eyes and dark skin.

Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane

Shiro vld

The field leader of Team Voltron, and pilot of the Black Lion. Originally a talented and well-loved Galaxy Garrison pilot, he became a member of the Kerberos space exploring team, only to be captured with his companions by the Galra Empire. He spent a year there, fighting for his life in Gladiator Arenas, until he found the chance to escape to Earth. As the future Paladins retrieve him and they become the pilots of Voltron, he does his best to guide and help them out.

  • The Ace: Considered the best of the Galaxy Garrison. Not hard to see why.
  • Adaptational Sexuality: In the original GoLion, Takashi Shirogane's sexuality was never really explored because he died too early to tell.. In the Americanized Voltron, his counterpart Sven falls in love with Princess Romelle and therefore is straight or at least into women. This Shiro, however is Badass Gay or maybe Badass Bi.
  • Affectionate Nickname: "Shiro" is a diminutive of his family name, "Shirogane". Only Adam seems to refer to him by his actual name, "Takashi".
  • Artificial Limbs: His right hand.
  • Ascended Extra: Gets a lot more screen time than Sven and the original Shirogane (both of them) ever got.
  • Back From the Dead - Dead All Along: Zigzagged LIKE WHOA. He died in the Season 2 finale, and the Shiro from Seasons 3 to 6 is a clone controlled by Haggar, Kuron... with Shiro's actual soul stashed inside the Black Lion. In the S6 finale, Allura finds a way to call his spirit out of Black and into the clone's now-comatose body, merging them into one and reviving him.
  • Badass Gay: Established to be one in Season 7. On one hand he's an extremely badass Action Survivor who has gone through lots of shit, is one of the most powerful members of the team (if not THE strongest) and, despite his gigantic trauma over all the crap that he's suffered, does his best to keep going. On the other, he's either gay or at very least gay-leaning bisexual: he used to be in a romantic relationship with his male roommate Adam who was killed in action, also has what can be seen very easily as Ship Tease with his teammate and best friend Keith, and later he marries his also male subordinate Curtis on-screen.
  • Badass Normal: While all the Paladins could be considered this, he was "The Champion" in all the time he spent in space before he became the Black Paladin.
  • Broken Ace: He's an excellent fighter/Paladin and a mentor figure for his companions but it's clear that his terrible experiences have left more than one mark on him.
  • The Captain: Aside from being the Black Paladin, he's later the captain of the IGF Atlas.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: Subverted. At some point he disappears and, when he returns some time later, his usually short hair has grown past his shoulders so he needs to get it cut back to its original length... But as it turns out, the Shiro with the longer hair is not the real one, but his clone Kuron (who does have Shiro's memories and therefore sincerely believes that he is the real one)
  • Freudian Excuse: Per Word of God, he's such a Team Dad because he lost the first crew under his command.
  • Ill Boy: It's said that he has a serious illness. He's completely healed when he's Back From the Dead
  • Locked Into Strangeness: First the Skunk Stripe he got during his captivity, then his whole hair turning silver upon being resurrected.
  • Manchurian Agent: For Haggar in Season 3 through 6. Subverted in that the one playing the role was a clone of Shiro, the below mentioned Kuron.
  • Married to the Job: A reason that things didn't work out between him and Adam, who (understandably) questioned him going into the long and dangerous Kerberos mission when he had next to no time to live. The Grand Finale even lampshades this by stating that he finally left the battle behind.
  • Meaningful Name: Shiro the Hero.
  • Mr. Fanservice: A tall Hunk with a finely "sculpted" Heroic Build, gorgeous Gray Eyes, a shapely ass, etc.
  • Mysterious Past: Viewers know squat about where Shiro comes from, how he got into the Garrison, etc.
  • Never Got to Say Goodbye: With Adam.
  • No Body Left Behind: In the Season 2 finale.
  • Noodle Incident: Whatever fully started his Odd Friendship with Keith.
  • The Not Love Interest: With all their interactions, one would think he and Keith were love interests. But it's clear that their relationship, while intensely supportive, isn't necessarily romantic... either that or Keith does harbor romantic/sexual feelings for Shiro, but never makes a move on him. Besides, Shiro later marries his implied Number Two at the Atlas, Curtis, and Keith is shown to be nothing but happy for them.
  • Not So Above It All: Shiro tries but he's often just as goofy as Lance and Hunk, as proved when they're playing Altean D&D.
  • The Obi-Wan: Gives off this vibe in Seasons 7 and 8. Unlike many examples, he lives on to the end.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone just refers to him as "Shiro." The only real exception is Iverson who addresses him as "Lieutenant Shirogane."
  • Satellite Character: An interesting case. Shiro is a main character who's very important to the plot, but when it comes to flashbacks, he only really appears in those centered around Keith.
  • Secret Keeper: Figured out Pidge's secret from the start and kept it to himself. It certainly helps that he knew her and her family from quite a while ago to start with...
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Frequently gives off this vibe.
  • Spanner in the Works: Via escaping from the Galra exactly at the moment when they're about to launch an Alien Invasion on Earth. When the future Paladins find out that he's managed to return, they try to rescue him from the military so they can talk to him (Pidge, Lance and Hunk) or take him away (Keith), and that leads the group to the Blue Lion, then to Allura, then to Voltron itself.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: One way to see him and Adam. According to the flashbacks they were both members of the Garrison, roommates and lovers, but their relationship soured when Shiro was revealed to be lethally ill and, much to Adam's worry and displeasure, wanted to join the very dangerous Kerberos exploration mission. Some time after their break-up, Shiro went into the mission, was captured with his teammates, spent some time as a prisoner and, after joining Team Voltron, was away from Earth for years; later, it's revealed that Adam was killed in action alongside many other pilots during the Galra's actual invasion of Earth. When Shiro return and finds out, he's naturally very depressed and then visits Adam and his companion's memorial, quietly whispering how sorry he feels for his lost love.
  • Tall, Dark and Handsome: Even when his hair gets more salt on its pepper, Shiro is always tall and good-looking. He eventually becomes a White-Haired Pretty Boy.
  • Team Dad: More than that. He's Space Dad.
  • Twofer Token Minority: Asian and gay (Keith may have some Asian blood, but it's never made explicit).
  • Walking Spoiler: There's a lot of white in his entry isn't there?

Keith

Keith vld

The pilot of the Red Lion, and later of the Black one. He was one of the Galaxy Garrison's star recruits but also had severe attitude problems, until Shiro reached for him. After Shiro's disappearance he angrily confronted the higher-ups upon what he saw as them abandoning his beloved friend, and was kicked out as a result. He spent the following year tracking any signs that could lead him to Shiro, which actually led him to finding the Blue Lion herself. After he and the others properly rescue Shiro, they become the Voltron Paladins; this leads Keith to find out lots of things about his own self.

Lance

Vld lance

The pilot of the Blue Lion, and later of the Red one. Lance is among those who kicks off the whole action, as after a failed mission he and his friends Hunk and Pidge find out about his idol Shiro being locked away by the military and urges the other two to go rescue him. As a plus he pretty much falls for Princess Allura after meeting her, and while he's quite the Comic Relief of the group, he later begins to unlock his own potential and properly grow up.

  • Abhorrent Admirer: Downplayed, Allura does care for Lance and turns him down because of how persistent he is, NOT out of actual hate. She's quite surprised when the Space Mice tell her that his feelings have become more serious than she believed.
  • Always Second Best: Struggles with this. He started out as second best to Keith in the Garrison, then he worried Shiro's return meant he'd have to give up the Red Lion, and then he freaks out when he realizes he lacks a signature weapon/fighting style.
  • Betty and Veronica: The Betty to Lotor's Veronica: he's one of the heroes, can be seen as a Butt Monkey-like version of a Boy Next Door, etc. (Ironically, his older sister is named Veronica)
  • Bodyguard Crush: While he isn't Allura's personal bodyguard, he is one of the Paladins and he crushes on her so he more or less qualifies. (Plus his original self from GoLion / Lion Voltron also had Bodyguard Crush-like feelings for her)
  • Book Ends: He and Blue start and end the story.
  • Call to Agriculture: He comes from a Cuban family implied to have ties to farming / gardening businesses, and follows a mix of this and preaching of Allura's message of love and forgiveness at the end of the series.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Oh so very much. Hilariously, he's actually not that bad at endearing himself to women, his problem is that he's so vain and superfluous at the start that he assumes everyone just wants to go make out.
  • Character Development: At first he constantly wants to have large parades thrown for Team Voltron and the attention of alien women. By the end? He's taken on the humblest of all the Paladins' fates.
  • Comic Relief: His general lack of tact results in this.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: With regards to the Blue Lion. Downplayed in regards to Allura, he IS jealous of Lotor when he and Allura get close but does his best to NOT let it interfere with his actions. (At most, he complains to the Space Mice about it)
  • Decoy Protagonist: He's set up as The Protagonist in the first third of the Pilot Movie, but it soon shifts to an ensemble cast.
  • Failed a Spot Check: He has a bad habit of doing this. Special credit has to be being the only one who didn't pick up on the fact that Pidge was a girl.
  • Fatal Flaw: A lot of his obnoxious behavior comes from his insecurities.
  • The Fool: A rare non-protagonist example. At the beginning of the Pilot Episode, Lance is a terrible pilot and not exactly the best Garrison candidate. But the fact that the once-star recruit Keith was thrown out let him get into the Garrison itself, then his impulsive desire to "play hooky" and 'recruit' his friends Hunk and Pidge for it leads them to realize that Lance's missing hero Shiro has returned to Earth, and after they (plus Keith) have broken Shiro out, it turns out that the Blue Lion mecha that Keith's been tracking is only compatible with Lance himself and thus he's the one who can handle it...
  • The Gunslinger: A pretty talented shooter, and his Bayard takes the shape of a rifle or a sniper.
  • Hero Worshipper: To Shiro. He even admits it out loud when the group finds out that he's back.
  • Heterosexual Life Partners: With Hunk. Also qualifies as an Odd Friendship.
  • Hidden Depths: He REALLY misses his family when he's at space.
  • Jack of All Stats: How he grows out of being Always Second Best. In fighting, he's not as fast as Keith or Shiro, not as strong as Hunk, and not as nimble as Pidge, but that doesn't mean should be dismissed.
  • The Kirk: To Pidge's Spock and Hunk's McCoy.
  • Ladykiller in Love: As Lance actually starts falling for Allura, he lays off the flirting. Heck, Allura had to be told that he had come to truly like her.
  • Large Ham: Not to Coran's extent but he can really ham it up if he wants to. Unsurprisngly, they're quite good friends.
  • Meaningful Name: He's The Lancer.
  • Nice, Mean and In-Between: The Mean to Hunk's Nice and Pidge's In-Between.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Oh he's certainly Book Dumb, but not anywhere as near as dumb as he gives off. i.e, he's shown himself to be pretty decent at Indy Ploy-ing.
  • Promoted to Love Interest: This Lance actually has a chance to become Princess Allura's boyfriend, especially after he becomes more mature and stops either hitting on other girls or making passes at her.
  • Ship Tease: With Allura. Later ascends to Official Couple status and then to Star-Crossed Lovers.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Be honest. You didn't even suspect Veronica had ever spoken to Lance until they revealed themselves to be siblings.
  • Spanner in the Works: If it wasn't for him encouraging Hunk and Pidge to play hooky, Shiro would never have been rescued, and the Galra would have found the Blue Lion. Let that sink in, Lance wasn't the only factor behind saving the universe, but was a key part on it.
  • Too Much Alike:
    • Again, a factor in his antagonism with Keith. They're both Hot-Blooded, fiercely independent, and regard themselves as The Lancer to Shiro's The Hero. They eventually grow out of it.
    • With Shiro to an extent. Despite Shiro's Odd Friendship with Keith, he sometimes acts like an older Lance, suggesting that this is why Shiro is sometimes harder on Lance than others; he wants Lance to avoid his mistakes.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Keith.

Katie Holt aka Pidge Gunderson

Pidge vld

The pilot of the Green Lion. Katie Holt was a prickly but very intelligent normal teen girl... but on a fateful day, her father Sam and her brother Matthew, who were Shiro's companions in the Kerberos mission, disappeared with him. She angrily tried to get replies regarding their fate from the Galaxy Garrison, and when that didn't work she decided to infiltrate the Garrison itself via disguising herself as a young man named Pidge Gunderson. She spends around a year like this, and then becomes a member of the Voltron Team - while still being determined to find out what actually happened to her lost loved ones.

  • Bifauxnen: Initially a cute-looking Girly Girl, she can make a pretty cute boy as well -- and uses it to her advantage.
  • Big Brother Worship: She adores her brother, and in fact she modeled her "Pidge" persona after him. And later, she falls into despair when he's believed to have actually died..
  • Boyish Short Hair: After her gender's revealed, she keeps her hair short for practical reasons.
  • Brainy Brunette: But of course.
  • Character Development: Before the Olkari arc, she hated anything organic and being in nature, preferring the predictable and sterile world of computers. By the arc's end, she's developed a strong appreciation for the intricacies of nature's designs and has come to appreciate that knowledge can come from anywhere.
  • Despair Event Horizon: Pidge is usually resourceful and logical, but she completely splinters when Matthew, the brother that she adores and spent a lot of time searching for, is believed to have actually died. Only realizing some small details that hinted at him being Faking the Dead instead got her out of this state.
  • Fauxshadow: Allura speaks of some great secret that Pidge is hiding early in Season 1. The Reveal... she's a girl.
  • Foreshadowing: There's a REASON why the faces of Shiro's companions in Kerberos weren't clearly shown at the beginning: they're her missing father and brother, and she STRONGLY resembles both of them. This isn't under spoilers because the reveal of her identity and her bond to them is made VERY early.
  • Girliness Upgrade: At the very end, Pidge keeps her hair short but now has it in a quite girlier cut that resembles Ami Mizuno's.
  • Important Haircut: Her first step to become Pidge? Cutting off her until-then quite long hair.
  • Late Arrival Spoiler: She's a girl.
  • Nice, Mean and In-Between: The In-Between to Hunk's Nice and Lance's Mean.
  • Plucky Girl: Again, but of course.
  • Shipper on Deck: In season 8 she, Nadia, Ina and Romelle support Allura and Lance's feelings
  • The Smurfette Principle: Of the first five Paladins. Overlaps with Two Girls to a Team when counting Allura.
  • The Spock: To Lance's Kirk and Hunk's McCoy.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: To both her parents and her brother. Especially the latter. It's amusingly lampshaded by Hunk at the start, as he sees a picture of a teen Matt in his Garrison days with a pre-teen and pre-SPO Pidge next to him... and he mistakes Matt for Pidge.
  • Sweet Polly Oliver: Pulls this to infiltrate the Garrison and search for her missing father and brother. Her disguise is good enough to be undetected for around a year, until she's found out by the Paladins (save for Lance) in one way or another.
  • Teen Genius: She's 15 and already a computer and mechanic whiz.
  • Wrench Wench: A talented mechanic

Hunk

Hunk vld

The pilot of the Yellow Lion. A gentle, pudgy and a bit cowardly young man, he initially seemed to be ill-suited for the Galaxy Garrison itself and maybe for his Voltron spot, but pulled through and started to develop his own inner and outer strength through their adventures.

Team Voltron's Closest Allies

Coran

Tumblr om0bfjLIDK1vfszuco5 250

Once King Alfor's closest advisor in the Altean court, his boss and leader also froze him in stasis before Altea was wiped out. After he, Princess Allura and the Space Mice are awakened and then Voltron is formed, he joins Team Voltron's cause.

Romelle

Vld romelle

A young lady who, with her younger brother Bandor, is a descendant of a group of Alteans who escaped the destruction of their planet because they were on trading businesses in these days, went into hiding thanks to their Master of Disguise abilities, and eventually found sanctuary in Lotor's "hidden colony" destined to preserve Altean culture. Around season 6, the siblings are hit by a terrible tragedy and it's up to Romelle to search for someone able to strike back at the culprit, which leads her to find Keith and then the Voltron Team...

Spoiler Character

The "product" of a secret project carried by Haggar, who arrives to the plot in Season 3. His name is Kuron and he is a clone of Shiro made by Haggar and her associates, then sent out after Shiro dies in Season 2. This young man has been mindwiped and brainwashed into believing himself to be the real Shiro, and once he's located by Keith he's taken in by the Voltron Team and believed to be Shiro as well, the only apparent difference being how he cannot pilot the Black Lion for a while. But around Season 6, Haggar speeds up her "master plan" and starts using him directly against his companions, especially Keith...

  • Artificial Limbs: Like Shiro, he has a mechanical arm. Which is severed by Keith as they fight, and since Haggar controlled Kuron from it, it also breaks off her grip on him.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: A pretty mean way to use this trope.
  • Cloning Blues: Uhm. Oh boy. Goes quite into "Expendable Clone" deals later: Haggar completely ditches him when her plans fail, and later the real Shiro's conscience is placed inside his body and Kuron's mind seems to disappear. Word of God explains that Kuron and Shiro basically merged together, however, no this doesn't fully fit in.
  • Manchurian Agent: As already mentioned, Kuron truly believes that he is Shiro. This belief doesn't "crack" up until Season 5 (when he acts more brashly than usual) and Season 6 (when Haggar fully takes over)
  • Took a Level In Jerkass: He starts as a mild-mannered young man, but in Season 5 he's more short tempered than usual.
  • Walking Spoiler: If anything, this wiki section has MORE spoiler tags than that of his original.. He can't even be given his proper picture on the page, which had to be linked above instead!

Team Voltron's Animal Companions

The Space Mice

Vld spacemice

Allura's pets and closest friends, who snuck into her cryogenic pod right before the Altean destruction and as such survived it with her and Coran.

  • The Confidant: Surprisingly, Allura and later Lance confide on them once in a while. Not that surprising when one consider that they're highly intelligent AND unlikely to spill the secrets they're told about. (Unless they do it towards Allura)
  • Gossipy Hens: They're the ones who tell Allura about Pidge being a girl and Lance's romantic woes.
  • Nice Mice: So much, they are the ones providing the main picture on the page itself.
  • Psychic Link: With Allura, as her fellow Altea survivors who were in her capsule for 10.000 years.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critter: Who are the cutest mice in the universe? Who are they? Who are they?

Kosmo

Kosmo

A space wolf that Keith adopts in Season 6.

Kaltenecker

Kaltenecker

A cow that was stolen from Earth and then given to the Voltron Team in the space mall in Season 2.

  • Everything's Better with Cows: And funnier, and later... "milkier", so to say.
  • Out of Focus: She first appears in Season 2... and from then on, she's borderline gone save for some scenes in Season 4 and 7. To be fair, unlike the Mice and Kosmo she IS a cow all but stated to be a 100% normal one from Earth, so aside of being funny and giving milk... what else can she do?
