Curio, the curious bird
Mariana Menezes
This character was developed in 2018 for an app with the goal of becoming the app's mascot. Its name is Curio, because of the homonymous type of bird from Brazil. Its expressions are revealed along the interactions in the app.
This is Curio, the curious bird.
Curio is a friend. He is always there to share your victories with you.
"Hi there! How are you doooooing?"
"Hoooooooray! We did it!"
But, as a true friend, he is also there when there is a problem.
"How shoooould we solve this?"
"Isn't that confuuuusing?"
As curious as he is, the thing he loves the most is a new book to read!
"Hi there! Ready for a neeeew story?"
Even if, sometimes, he gets a little annoying with his obsessive concentration.
"Shoooo! I'm reading!"
But don't be fooled! Curio loves to share his readings with you!
"Can you believe it? Maria finally dumped that damn parrot!"
And the last thing he would want is to hurt his beloved friend!
"Wait! I'm sorry for the way I talked to you earlier..."
Sometimes, he is even overly dramatic.
"It is okay if you leave... But I will miss you..."
But, with some good news, he can fastly change his mood.
"What? Can we be friends again?"
No better news for Curio than having his friend back!
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!"
And, with all that, Curio says,
"Goooodbye! Thank you for scroooooling!"
