Rosita

From Muppet Wiki

Rosita is a blue, Spanish-speaking monster who first appeared on Sesame Street in Season 23. She comes from Mexico, and her full name is Rosita, la Monstrua de las Cuevas (Rosita, the Monster of the Caves).^[1] She speaks both Spanish and English, and is good friends with Zoe, Elmo, and Telly Monster.

Rosita originally had wings attached to her arms, reflecting her original concept design as a fruit bat.^[2] In season 35, she was rebuilt and no longer had wings.

Rosita has often presented the Spanish Word of the Day, and features frequently playing her guitar.

Rosita has an extended family which includes an abuela and other relatives. Her dad served in the military and is in a wheelchair due to injuries related to his service. Her dad's name is Ricardo. Rosita's dad and Rosita's mom debuted in a 2007 resource video, as part of the Talk, Listen, Connect series.

Trivia

• In Episode 3832, Rosita says that Prairie Dawn is her best friend, but in Episode 3886, she looks for a best friend, eventually settling for Herry Monster. During the 1980s (and as listed in their profiles in The Sesame Street Treasury volumes 6 and 9), it was Herry and Prairie who were often paired as best friends.
