Cheburashka character named "Старуха Шапокляк" (Old Lady Shapoklyak, from French "chapeau claque", a kind of collapsible top hat). Shapoklyak is a mischievous but charming old lady. She is tall and thin, wears a hat, a dark-coloured dress, and bloomers, and carries around a pet rat, Lariska, in her purse to help her play pranks on people, though near the end of some stories she turns around and helps the protagonists. The chorus of her theme song contains her motto, "One won't ever get famous for good deeds." The rights to the Cheburashka character and image have been heavily debated in court.
