Aviva Corcovado is a member and the third-in-command of the Wild Kratts crew. She is a biomechanical engineer and the creator of all the Wild Kratts's inventions, most notably the Tortuga, Creature Power Suits, and the Creature Pods.
Physical Appearance[]
Aviva is a tall and slender, young Hispanic woman in her 20s and above average height; she has long, bushy dark brown hair that she always ties back in a low ponytail, green eyes (with a slight grayish tinge), and tan skin. She usually wears a purple v-neck shirt and a yellow jacket with a blue stripe running down both of the sleeves, blue bell bottom jeans held by a black belt with a bolt on it, worn crookedly around her waist, and purple and white sneakers. In "Octopus Wildkratticus", while searching for the Creature Power Suits, she wore a violet wetsuit. Her beach outfit consists of a yellow tank top, blue jean shorts, bracelet, necklace, and light yellow sandals with grayish blue straps. Her signature and favorite color is purple.
Personality[]
Aviva is a strong leader and an active member of the crew. However, she can take competitions a little too seriously, and can oftentimes be quite stubborn. Though she prefers working behind the scenes, creating inventions to help the Kratt brothers, she sometimes enjoys participating in their adventures. While she has been shown to be somewhat arrogant in her abilities (no doubt due to her intelligence), she is caring and does not value her inventions over her crewmates and the animals they encounter. One does not want to make her angry, still. Although often hard at work, she can sometimes be lazy and feel unmotivated.
Aviva can be extremely fixated on her personal views of an animal the crew encounters, such as strictly believing crocodiles to be vicious monsters and hippos to be anything but. These views have changed due to the Kratt brothers interactions with them. However, this only occurs when she sees it from the Kratts brothers point of view, as she didn't believe them when they tried to tell her mouse lemurs could be very vicious. Sometimes she is both hypocritical and deniable because before she got better at dancing, she said she can’t dance but tried to dance.
Aviva can also be impulsive, often rushing without thinking things through; an example of this would be in the episode "Attack Of The Tree-Eating Aliens" where she initially accused a woodpecker for drilling holes in the trees without getting proper evidence, which would later be revealed to be an Asian long-horned beetle.
Abilities[]
Aviva possesses professional engineering skills, seeing as she was the original creator of the Creature Power Suits, and builds all of the team's nature-inspired inventions. She is also very good with computers (being able to rather easily hack into Zach's computer system when necessary), and can pilot the Tortuga when necessary. In addition to English, she can also speak Spanish, which is actually her mother language. She is extremely skilled at badminton, though she usually destroys the plastic birdies. She is also extremely agile, stronger than she looks, and an exceptional fencer.

Trivia[]
- The series' sellsheet labels Aviva as "Alicia"; it's unknown if this was her originally planned name or merely an error.
- Aviva cannot dance very well, however her stage fright is diminished after the "Birds of a Feather" adventure.

- Aviva adores small and baby animals and tends to be motherly towards them.
- Her favorite continent is South America.
- Her favorite thing in nature is bird courtship-displays, likely instituted from the bird-of-paradise adventure.
- Her last name Corcovado was initially hinted from her great-great grandmother Elvira Corcovado in "Caracal-Minton". In "Choose Your Swordfish", Aviva refers to herself by her full name Aviva Corcovado, confirming that Elvira is her paternal great-great grandmother.
- Starting from the Season 2 finale and onward, Aviva uses a Creature Power Suit of her own in some cases. In “Groundhog Wake Up Call,” her Power Suit is larger and less saturated than its appearances in Season 4 and onward.
- Some of Aviva's inventions, such as the Tortuga computer or the passcode system in the Creature Power Suits use her voice.
- Her favorite lemurs are mouse lemurs and ringtails.
- Aviva will, on some occasions, hug either Chris, Martin, Koki, or Jimmy when she's happy.
- Her first name is a palindrome because it can be read both forwards & backwards.
- In "Panda Power Up!", she is revealed to have a stuffed panda named Stuffo, which later becomes the source of Stuffo's name.
- Aviva owns a shuttlecock made of feathers from the resplendent quetzal, a family heirloom passed down to her from her great-great grandmother, Elvira Corcovado.
- In several scenes in the show's early days, Aviva is seen wearing roller skates instead of her usual sneakers. These appear at random and in-between scenes and are less prominent in the later episodes. In more recent episodes, including "Cats and Dogs" and "Clever the Raven", Aviva appears in her roller skates once again, where they are shown to be built into her normal shoes.
- Aviva's voice was deeper in early episodes.
- Aviva's name means "spring" in Hebrew.
