TV Special
Description
Petit Charat, known as Puchiko, hails from the planet Di Gi Charat as the biological younger sister of Dejiko. She journeyed to Earth with Dejiko and their companion Gema, finding work at a Gamers store in Akihabara. While early stories recount her meeting Dejiko after being rescued from a hole, newer media consistently presents her simply as Dejiko's sister.
Puchiko possesses long brown hair, brown eyes, and distinct cat-like features: an orange tabby cat-eared hat and matching tail, typically featuring a blue ribbon at the tail's base. Her standard attire is a sailor uniform with blue bloomers. Alternate designs include a light blue dress in *Di Gi Charat Nyo*, a red dress with dark blue pants in *Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat*, and a more mature sailor uniform with socks and shoes in *Winter Garden*, depicting her at age 15. A temporary 2008 redesign gave her green eyes and a light green preschool outfit, reverted by 2013.
Her personality starkly contrasts with Dejiko's exuberance. Puchiko is stoic, quiet, and rarely speaks, often ending sentences with "nyu". Despite her reserve, she possesses a sharp tongue when provoked. She seldom shows anger, contributing to difficulties controlling her "Me Kara Beam" eye laser ability; it frequently misfires or produces random effects, unlike Dejiko's proficiency, later attributed to her subdued emotional expression.
Within the *Christmas Special*, Puchiko participates in a cruise where antagonist Piyoko attempts to capture Dejiko, her role unfolding alongside others like Usada baking a Christmas cake. Her character development spans multiple continuities: *Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat* (2002) acts as a prequel exploring her and Dejiko's past; *Di Gi Charat Nyo!* (2003–2004) reboots continuity, reinforcing their sisterly bond; *Winter Garden* (2006) depicts an alternate human 15-year-old Puchiko; *Reiwa no Di Gi Charat* (2022) revisits the original comedic format, including an episode transforming her into her *Winter Garden* incarnation.
Her relationships center on Dejiko as her primary connection, though she interacts with characters like Rabi~en~Rose. Narrative dynamics often position her as an indifferent participant in Dejiko's schemes within a comic trio, contrasting with the voice-of-reason roles of Gema or Rabi~en~Rose.
