In Spanish, many professions and adjectives end in -dor for males, but in -dora for females. So I think whoever named the character Dora the Explorer in English, knew that it was going to be very appealing in Spanish. The masculine form for this occupation is explorador.
Now let’s imagine that Dora has some other occupations or attributes (good and bad):
Dora la Investigadora. Dora the researcher.
Dora la Ganadora. Dora the Winner.
Dora la Habladora. Dora the Talkative, liar, gossip.
