When Sesame Street's creators decided to add a new female lead character, they conjured up the funny and inquisitive three-year-old Abby Cadabby, a bright fairy-in-training who moved to Sesame Street from Fairyside, Queens. Muppeteer Leslie Carrara-Rudolph plays this clever addition to the Sesame family.
Energetic, enthusiastic Abby is learning all sorts of magic skills. She is still perfecting some of her powers, so there are occasional magical mishaps -- for example, she sometimes accidentally turns items into pumpkins with her training wand. Abby knows a great deal about fairytales, since they are an important part of her family history. While she loves practicing her magic and rhyming skills, she is especially interested in counting numbers and writing letters, two concepts she discovered when she moved to Sesame Street.
Abby really enjoys being a girl, and loves wearing pretty dresses and sparkles in her pony-tailed hair. Her close friendship with Zoe and Rosita is a positive example of girls interacting in a healthy way.
