BTL Click the Mouse

Click the Mouse

Click the Mouse is a supporting character in Between the Lions. She is a computer mouse with the head of a real mouse.

As a member of the library, Click is helpful and usually friendly, but displays some quirks; she can be prickly when annoyed, and doesn't get some aspects of humor. Much of her dialogue is delivered in a slightly stilted, robotic tone, and she regularly makes references to computer terminology, such as describing herself "entering sleep mode" instead of "going to sleep".

Click is a very high-tech mouse, who has the power to interface with the real world as one would a computer operating system. She's most commonly seen "dragging and dropping" characters and objects into and out of books, but she can also "copy and paste" clones of illustrated characters, perform internet searches, and enlarge or shrink objects. When a character needs her, they need only call her name. While she rarely refuses a command from a resident or guest of the library, Click isn't above playing tricks on people or performing malicious compliance; in "Tweet! Tweet!", she convinces Walter and Clay Pigeon to enter a book about the Mesozoic Era to give them a scare and make them stop pestering her.

Being a computer mouse, she must always remain connected to a computer; additionally, Click is susceptible to computer viruses, and being infected by one makes her seriously malfunction in one episode. While more of a personality trait than a weakness, Click likes things to be orderly and logical: "The Chess Mess" reveals that she has a distaste for the Alice in Wonderland books by Lewis Carroll, citing their stories as nonsensical.

She was performed by Heather Asch.
