Firefly is a character from the Nico episode, "The Ghost Story". She is relentlessly pursued and preyed upon by the chameleon, Boris. But each time, she outsmarts him and successfully manages to avoid becoming his next meal.
About Firefly[]
Firefly is first seen when Boris spots her flying by outside Nico's family's house. He stretches out his tongue to reach for and catch her on the first attempt, but misses. Luckily for her, Charlie is there to take her away from him to safety. When Nico and his friends walk down a sidewalk, the firefly follows and flies over them. On the second attempt Boris makes to catch her, he takes the form of a streetlamp and extends his tongue again when he finds her. But misses again and his tongue touches a brick wall instead before he falls over onto the street. In his normal form, Boris lunges at her, but she darts out the way as he falls and lands in a trash can. The firefly appears again, this time flying towards Patty's house where her mom exits. Boris, disguised as an ornament on top of a Christmas tree, tries to catch the firefly yet again, but he accidentally uses his tongue to lick Patty's mom's face when he misses his target. On the fourth and final attempt, Boris, now shaped like a wastebasket, is in another part of town like the firefly is. The firefly flies onto a striped arm gate and Boris follows her there. Then, she moves to a button that activates it and lands on it, pressing it. The arm gate is raised and tilted, causing Boris to lose his balance and fall off it, leaving him dazed. The firefly taunts him for his failure to catch and devour her, telling him that she won and he lost his appetite. She turns around to see Charlie, Hertha, and Bertha, and presumably, leaves after all that.
