Mokey Fraggle
From Muppet Wiki
Mokey Fraggle is one of the five main Fraggles in Fraggle Rock. She has mauve skin and long turquoise hair, and she wears a long grey robe-like sweater.
Mokey is a dreamer. She loves painting, writing poems in her diary, or just enjoying her surroundings. Because she is the oldest of the Fraggle Five, she functions as the 'den mother' within the group. Mokey is very emotional and concerned about others. She's always ready to help a friend in need, even if it's a Gorg. Mokey's job is to pick radishes in the Gorgs' Garden, and she is a member of the Clinging Creepers Emergency Flower Defense League.
Mokey shares a room with her best friend Red Fraggle. She has a soft spot for Gobo Fraggle, whom she thinks is very brave. She has a pet plant named Lanford.
Mokey was named after a childhood friend of Jim Henson. In the language of the ancient Fraggles, "Mokey" means "Put on your hat", which is the opposite of the meaning of Gobo's name.
One of Mokey's unique features is her eyelids. Except for the Storyteller Fraggle and the revised Gobo puppet appearing after the show's first twelve episodes, she is the only Fraggle who has movable eyelids. In place they give her a dreamy look, but they can slide up to show surprise, astonishment, fear and intensity.
Mokey regularly switches back and forth between live hands and rod hands, depending on the requirements of the scene. Her right hand is usually performed by Trish Leeper.
As part of her winter outfit in the episode "The Bells of Fraggle Rock", Mokey was given an additional, knitted sweater under her usual robe-like one. Kathryn Mullen liked the sweater so much that it became part of Mokey's permanent costume.
