Scratte

Character from ice-age by

A female saber-toothed squirrel who briefly becomes Scrat's love interest and rival for the eternal acorn.

Scratte is Scrat's equal and opposite: she is graceful where he is clumsy, strategic where he is reactive, and ultimately willing to take the acorn when sentiment gets in the way. Their relationship is a complete romantic arc compressed into pantomime — instant attraction, passionate partnership, catastrophic breakup over the acorn, mutual cold war. As a storytelling presence, Scratte adds a second chaotic element to Scrat's orbit and raises the comedic stakes by introducing actual competition for his one goal. She is not a villain exactly — she simply wants what he wants and is better at getting it.

Appearance

Scratte is sleeker and more elegantly proportioned than Scrat, with reddish-brown fur and a flyaway tail. Her saber-teeth are shorter but no less sharp. She moves with a dancer's precision and has an expression of amused superiority that she has earned.
