What is the name of the French donkey character in Peppa Pig?

The French donkey character in Peppa Pig is Delphine Donkey. Delphine is Peppa’s pen pal from France and speaks French as her native language, while also being able to speak English.

Delphine wears a purple dress and has gray fur. Her family includes her younger brother Didier Donkey, her father Monsieur Donkey, and her mother Mummy Donkey. Didier has a toy dragon, a small character detail that parallels George’s attachment to his toy dinosaur.

Delphine is sometimes confused with other animal characters because Peppa Pig includes many species and several international settings. She is specifically a donkey, not a camel, horse, or mule. Her French identity is part of the show’s broader use of animal characters to introduce places, languages, and cultural differences through Peppa’s friendships.
