TV Special
Description
Di Gi Charat, nicknamed Dejiko, hails as a princess from the planet Di Gi Charat, daughter of its Great Chief and Queen. Her birth name is Chocola—ironic given her aversion to chocolate—while Di Gi Charat serves as a royal title. She journeys to Earth with younger sister Petit Charat (Puchiko) and guardian Gema, pursuing idol singer dreams until financial hardship strands them at Gamers retail store, where they work for lodging.
Dejiko’s iconic look includes green hair, green eyes, cat-ear headwear, a tail, and paw accessories. Her standard attire is a blue-and-white maid dress with three bells and ribbons, though media adaptations alter it: a pink dress in *Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat*, mature human clothing in *Winter Garden*, and a 2008 redesign featuring red eyes and a lighter blue dress. Despite her cute aesthetics, her personality flares with temper, laziness, and a habit of firing building-destroying laser eye beams when irritated. She displays selfishness—dismissing fans as "Bukimi" (eerie) and refusing unmotivated help—yet shows loyalty to Puchiko and sporadic guilt, like regretting an attack on rival Rabi~en~Rose.
Character evolution shifts across stories: *Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat* depicts a younger, altruistic Dejiko spreading happiness while retaining stubbornness. *Winter Garden* portrays an adult version, softer and working in a maid café, who exhibits protective, near-parental care for Puchiko, lacks her trademark temper, and romances Takurou Senba. The *Christmas Special* reinforces core traits when Dejiko responds to Rabi~en~Rose’s life-risking aid with ingratitude and conflict. *Di Gi Charat Fantasy* explores an amnesiac, docile Dejiko after a dimensional accident.
Her primary ability involves anger-fueled laser eye beams, used defensively or offensively with fluctuating potency. Relationships reveal contradictions: she mocks Rabi~en~Rose as "Usada" yet fleetingly worries for her; she quarrels with Puchiko but undertakes protective missions; she resents impoverished Piyoko yet acknowledges shared struggles. Her background includes familial duty, aiding her parents' rescue from the Analogue Planet’s rulers.
Across all media, Dejiko punctuates sentences with the verbal tic "-nyo", cementing her catgirl motif. This persists even in her mature *Winter Garden* iteration.
