TV Special
Description
Princess Di Gi Charat, also known as Dejiko or Chocola, hails from the planet Di Gi Charat. Her classic depiction across most media presents her as a green-haired catgirl adorned with signature cat ear headpieces, bells featuring blue ribbons, and mitten-like sleeves. She typically displays a hot-headed, lazy, and self-centered personality, unleashing eye-beam attacks when irritated and punctuating sentences with the verbal tic "nyo." As Puchiko's older sister, she occasionally shows protectiveness beneath her aggressive exterior. This portrayal anchors her appearances in the main anime series, OVAs, video games like *Di Gi Charat Fantasy*, and manga including *Gema Gema* and *Dejiko's Champion Cup*.
An exception emerges in *Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat*, where she appears younger and adopts a more altruistic, cheerful demeanor while retaining traces of stubbornness. Her design shifts to a pink dress devoid of cat motifs.
The 2006 special *Winter Garden* unfolds ten years after primary events, depicting a twenty-year-old Dejiko living with Puchiko in a modest apartment while working at a cake shop. Her personality evolves into earnestness and emotional reserve, abandoning eye beams and verbal tics. Her mature design features realistic human proportions, less vivid green hair swept in a practical style, and everyday clothing like a plaid skirt, brown jacket, and boots. Subtle echoes of her past include cat-shaped hairpins and a charm depicting her original form. The narrative explores her quiet routine and tentative romance with Takurou Senba, whom she encounters during winter. Misunderstandings about Takurou's relationship with his sister expose her emotional vulnerability, leading to a near breakup before reconciliation. The story concludes with her relocating for work yet sustaining a long-distance relationship with Takurou.
*Winter Garden* establishes an alternate continuity stripped of fantastical elements and most original characters beyond Dejiko, Puchiko, and a cameo by Rabi~en~Rose. A childhood photograph of the sisters and their apartment's resemblance to their former living space serve as continuity anchors.
