Caramelo is the Sea Snail Prince, a quiet and studious boy who wears glasses and uses complicated words.
Character history[]
In The Pirates, Caramelo is inspired by one of the girls' (exaggerated) stories and longs to go on an adventure himself. After getting impatient in waiting for the girls to go on an adventure, Caramelo decides to search for one himself, much to their shock and concern. Caramelo encounters a Drylander vessel, where he finds a group of children in danger from attacking pirates. Caramelo climbs onto the vessel and disguises himself as a pirate before trapping the pirate "oppressors" and tying them up. Caramelo believes that he saved the children until the girls climb on and tell him that the pirate ship is actually a dress-up party, much to his disappointment. However, when they find the ship on course for some rocks with no adults to control the boat, they quickly work to turn the boat around and keep the children safe. On instructions from Ester, Caramelo climbs to the top of the sail and unties it, realising the dangers of the girls' adventures in the process. Once the four successfully turn the vessel around to safety, they farewell the children, free the trapped "pirates" and return to Salacia. Caramelo, realising his foolishness, tells the girls that he has had enough of adventures, saying that while adventures are "stimulating, challenging and thrilling", they can also be a bit scary and he would much prefer studying in the library.
Notes[]
- Caramelo has also appeared as a background character in episodes such as Lunch Power and The Mural. In those appearances, he is shown clothed with light green hair and square glasses instead of teal hair and round glasses.
- Uniquely, Caramelo was mentioned in the first main series book, The World of Salacia, but he did not receive a character design until the animated series was created.
