Dot the Arctic Hare and Dez the Snapping Turtle made their debut Tuesday night during halftime of the Tempo\u2019s game against the Indiana Fever. The timing was particularly notable because Fever star Sophie Cunningham has emerged as one of the WNBA\u2019s most outspoken critics of biological males competing in women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cDez and Dot have completely different personalities, but they\u2019re better together,\u201d said Whitney Bell, chief marketing officer for the Toronto Tempo. \u201cOne knows when to slow things down, the other knows when to turn the energy all the way up.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Tempo, Dez uses she\/they pronouns and is a Borealis Blue Snapping Turtle from Muskoka, Ontario, who DJs in their spare time.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir name is inspired by decibel<\/em>, a nod to their love of music and role as the more measured half of the duo,\u201d the team said. \u201cDez is calm, clever and always thinking a few steps ahead. A Taurus who spins the 1s and 2s in their spare time, Dez\u2019s secret talent is snapping \u2013 they also have a particular fondness for soft shell tacos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Tempo\u2019s other new mascot, Dot, goes by she\/her pronouns, loves cotton candy, and the team describes her as \u201cthe undisputed hype woman of the pair.\u201d<\/p>\n
