Kæliboxa is one of the main protagonists, known for her unique abilities and distinctive appearance.

Kæliboxa is depicted as a young girl with a strong sense of justice and a deep connection to her family. Her name is a play on words, combining "kæmpe" (Danish for "giant" or "hero") and "boxa," which references her ability to transform into a powerful, armored creature. Her alter ego is a muscular, armored being with glowing red eyes and a fierce demeanor, capable of wielding immense strength and durability. This transformation is often triggered by emotional intensity or a sense of duty.

The character’s popularity has extended beyond the film, inspiring discussions about representation in media, particularly for young girls and women in superhero narratives.
