Deena is a young, energetic pink monster with red hair and wild rolling eyes, like Cookie Monster's. She talks in monster grammar: "Deena wants to play!" She lives in a cave with Pearl, who functions as her caretaker.

Deena and Pearl debuted in Season 12 of Sesame Street. ^[1] The characters virtually vanished after that season, but they did pop up occasionally.

The puppet would later become an AM monster.
