Tarah Shackleford

Tarah Shackleford is a new deuteragonist, the character, who is a human and first befriends with her female chimpanzee; Curious Genevieve, also acts as her primary teacher, a mentor and a deuteragonist in Curious George 4: Royal Monkey. Tara also acts as Genevieve's monkey parent and is an important motherly figure to her.

She is known to be intelligent, beautiful, kind, friendly, sharp, gentle, hard-worker and very independent. She is also characterized by wearing a large yellow hat. She doesn't actually wear her hat at home, only when she goes outside.

Just like her love interest Ted, she also owns a country house that has been in her family ever since her childhood memories, before living in a spacious, high income apartment building in the City in Chicago with Ted and George.

Tara primarily drives a yellow renegade car as her new main transportation to the Country, however, she typically walks when visiting in Ted's apartment. She also uses an open-top Hummer for off-road travels. She is an herpetologist. She makes a few of references to "going to work", however, just like Ted, we never discover what this pertains to.
