Zoop, voiced by Stephanie Milo and Stephanie Mills, is a chipmunk, and another friend of Iggy and Jiggers. The character has been classified as a hippy.[1]
Appearance and Occupations[]
She has large, soft, blue eyes, and wears a short pink dress with a purple flower embroidered on her chest. While most of the characters go barefoot, she wears a pair of white geta sandals. She runs the local refreshment shop, beauty parlour, and general store, which is merely called "Zoop's". She also keeps a vegetable and flower garden. She prefers for her products to be organically grown, made, or produced.
Character[]
Although none of the characters' ages has ever been determined, Zoop is apparently several years younger than most of the other characters.[2] She is very athletic, skilled at yoga, and fond of Karma and meditation. She is sweet and nurturing, and generally tries to support her friends. Although she, like the other characters, despises Catfish Stu, she still gives him advice (though he never asks for it) and even keeps gourmet food reserved for him due to his limited tastes. She is very serene, and doesn't lose her temper often, but when she does, her friends hastily try to get back on her good side.
History[]
A little is given on her history in "Scents and Sensability". When she is describing what different smells remind her of, she mentions that she used to dye shirts in blackberry juice with her father (who, in the flashbacks, appears to be a hippie), and have frequent tea parties with her grandmother. She apparently has been to several places in the world, as she also mentions a trip she took to China. Also, in "Art For Iggy's Sake", she says that she learned how to make hammocks when she was in South America.
Facts[]
In "A Whale of a Tale" she tells Kira that, while she doesn't know it fluently, she knows several phrases in "whale talk". As shown in "The Case of the Messy Marauder", when she listens to books on tape in her sleep, they subconsciously cause her to sleepwalk, and perform activities based on the topics of the tape.
Zoop occasionally displays tendencies that are characteristic of chipmunks, such as digging burrows and eating nuts in The Case of the Messy Marauder, stuffing a gold nugget into her cheeks in Miner Misfortunes, and pulling out an acorn that had been stashed in her mouth in The Unsung Hero.
In the original comic strip from the June 2004 NGKids issue, it is mentioned that her birthday is around the first day of summer. It is unknown whether or not this is canonical to the series, as although the episode "Scents and Sensibility focuses on her birthday, the time of year is uncertain.
