Tiffy
From Muppet Wiki
Tiffy is a character on Sesamstrasse, the German co-production of Sesame Street.
Tiffy is a pink creature with a beak-like mouth and a big tuft of pink hair. She was originally a bird-like character, designed by Kermit Love. Over time she has evolved into a 'monster'. Her original silk-like tulle hair was changed to more fuzzy hair in the 1990's.
She is very clever and often helps her best friend Samson when he has a problem. Tiffy collects alarm clocks and snowglobes, and she's good at repairing things. She represents the psychological age of a six-year-old.
Tiffy has been a main character on Sesamstrasse since the German street sequences began in 1977. Her original performer was Kerstin Siebmann-Röders (who was married to Samson's original performer Peter Röders), with Martina Klose manipulating the right hand.
Members of the American audience might remember Tiffy (puppet version #2), from the 1993 international special Sesame Street Stays Up Late!.
In 2005 Tiffy was dropped and replaced by Moni and her daughter Lena.[1] Although she would not appear on the show, she was still included in the intro, until the new intro for 2006 was produced.
