SCAVENGER, a popular cartoon about a boar adventurer named Claribel Scavenger, and a rotating selection of sidekicks, including her son, Sonny Scavenger, who in season 2, touched a cursed idol that changed her into a girl. This plot point for some reason goes unresolved by the end of the episode and just kinda sticks.

The show was vaguely 30sish, like, Indiana Jones sort of setting, with occasional anachronism for retro-futuristic technology and such.

Claribel is boisterous and lucky, always ready to venture into ancient tombs full of traps and curses, a little bit for treasure, but mostly for the excitement. Often there’s an excuse as to why plundering these ancient treasures is totally cool but like. Y’know.
She’s absurdly lucky, far moreso than her companions. The recurring gag is of course that she makes stunts and evasion look effortless and then whoever’s with her this episode just totally pratfalls their way through. Her luck extends to pretty much everything, too. Never play cards against her. Never play cards against her.
Sonora was the shy, quiet type who got dragged along adventures largely against her will. She was a little nerd who would rather have spent all her time in the movie theater or maybe just school in one place for an extended period of time, although by the start of season 3, she became notably more confident in her adventuring.
Still would rather watch movies.

By the end of the series, Claribel opened up her own little curio shop, to show off and sell some of the treasures she’d acquired over the years, with Sonora, grown up now, being absolutely pleased to manage the store. Despite the famous name attached to it, the fact that Claribel was never there (a true adventurer never retires!) and the fact that everything was either too expensive or just straight up cursed meant that it was not a popular destination.

Naturally, some of the multiverse out there shows up as tv shows in other universes. Infinite possibilities and all that. That’s how Claribel’s Trades got picked up by Venture and Sonora was whisked away to a world much different than her own.

This is where she discovered Hot Topic, and fell in love immediately.

Claribel, after reconnecting with her missing shop, was absolutely ecstatic about the possibility of visiting other worlds. Think of the new and exotic tombs to explore that she had never dreamed of! Now she truly never had to retire!

Claribel loves being recognized and recounting her escapades with fans. Sonora mostly just finds it uncomfortable when people know very specific details about her life. Still, she likes it here. It’s cool, and now you can watch videos on a phone, which you can take with you. Crazy.
