Callie Briggs (SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron)

Callie Briggs (real name Calico “Callie” Briggs) is the Deputy Mayor of Megakat City and is often the one running it while Mayor Manx is teeing off for another round of golf. She is highly independent, and has proved on more than one occasion that she is quite capable of taking care of herself during a crisis. She is a friend to the SWAT Kats, and alerts them of any trouble happening within the city that they should be aware of. The fearless, strong-willed right hand woman to Megakat City’s Mayor Manx, Callie pounces on a any situation that may put her beloved Megakat City in danger. Callie often becomes the troubleshooter who gets sent into dangerous situations so the Mayor need not endanger his own life.

Personality
Callie is shown to be sweet-tempered, kind-hearted, and self-reliant. She is also fiercely dedicated to the SWAT Kats and always defends them from Feral's accusations. Further, she has formed a significant bond of love and courage with them and it is implied throughout the series that she harbors romantic feelings for Jake Clawson, aka "Razor". She is also under constant pressure to singlehandedly keep the city running while putting up with Mayor Manx's snooty and amateurish behavior. As a result, she has very little time for herself and often vents her frustrations about her job to any who will listen, often the SWAT Kats. However, she regularly shows the confidence and courage to face any challenge in front of her and despite the mortal peril she often finds herself in, is always determined to turn the situation around.

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She's one of the unique characters to be created.
 * 2) She’s by far the most very loveable, beautiful, cutest, sexiest and adorable deputy mayor in this very awesome cartoon.
 * 3) She is a friend to the SWAT Kats, and alerts them of any trouble happening within the city that they should be aware of.
 * 4) Her design is very beautiful cute and sexy, and also an improvement reference to Cleo from "Heathcliff" and a fun reference to Penelope Pitstop.
 * 5) Her suit is very sexy.
 * 6) She becomes one during her Awesome Moments as a temporary Super Sexy Independent Woman. in the episode "The Wrath of Dark Kat", she saves the SWAT Kats by throwing one of the money bags at Dark Kat that he'd stolen, in the episode "The Ci-Kat-A", when alien-possessed scientist Dr. Harley Street is trying to "recruit" her, Callie says "I don't think so!" and smashes him on the head with her briefcase.
 * 7) Her memorable catchphrases: "One of the, um, 'perks' of being Deputy Mayor". and "Saturday is usually my morning to sleep in!" is great to listen to.
 * 8) Tress MacNeille did a phenomenally perfectly beautiful performance voicing her, giving her an attractive tone of voice.
 * 9) She's totally waaaaayyyyyy more better than Bartleby MontClair from Sonic Underground.

Trivia

 * ZekeyX2004 considered her to be his #1 favorite character.
 * Callie's role in the series is early similar to that of Ms. Sara Bellum from The Powerpuff Girls franchise. While seemingly subordinate, both are much more capable and competent in comparison to their respective political figures, serving as the brains behind their operations. However, Callie is not a sexualized character like Ms. Bellum.
 * Bartleby MontClair from Sonic Underground, rips off a few elements of Callie's personality.
