Kairel (El arca)

Kairel is a protagonist from the 2007 Argentinian animated film, ''El arca. ''

Background: She served as an aid to Queen Orianna, Xiro's mother, until she ultimately set out to accompany him to the ark. She harbours feelings Xiro, the prince, and ultimately hopes for him to reciprocate them.

Personality: While she can sometimes become exasperated by Xiro's antics, Kairel is portrayed as a relatively patient and devoted follower. She can be somewhat of a busybody, but her heart is usually in the right place and she is very earnest n her efforts. She cares about the Prince and equally takes an interest in the other animals around her. She seeks to act as a peacemaker and puts he duty to the prince above her own interests.

Physically: Kairel is portrayed as being a young anthropomorphic lioness. In contrast to the other female leads, which mostly sport traditional hour glass shapes, Kariel is portrayed as a plump pear. She has a small potbelly, but her most notable design features are her huge hips and equally big backside. These have attracted particular attention amongst Youtube film reviewers, with Youtube personality Saberspark describing her as having 'the largest hips I've ever seen on a character'. This aspect of her design is also acknowledged throughout the film as she is taunted by several other characters, including Xiro's girlfriend, for being 'fat'. Her somewhat portly stature does not slow her down, however, and she is shown as being on equal footing with the other members of the cast.
