Tasha is a little girl hippo, in red maryjanes and a flowered dress. Tasha lives on the left side of the backyard behind a fence. Tasha is best friends with Uniqua, but their friendship often causes conflicts and arguments. Tasha, with the help of her imagination and friends, can always end the quarrels almost instantly. Tasha can be very bossy and sometimes even harsh if she doesn't get her way.
Description
Tasha is
very bossy. She is rarely ever nice to others. Tasha usually is negative and likes to make people do what she says. She is hard to scare, as pointed out in the episode It's Great To Be A Ghost!. Tasha is also Uniqua's muchadmired and always eagerly-awaited play date. She looks sweet as pie but underneath her extra girly exterior beats the heart of a CEO -- tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, my-way-or-the-highway kind of gal. Tasha is rational, skeptical, and highly motivated to get her own way. But it's always special for Uniqua when Tas
ha is there, because she's someone who can also be giggly, silly and full of fun. She is one of the Backyardigans and lives in a yellow house. She goes on adventures with Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin. She likes to make her friends do what she tells them to. Her interests include tea parties, dressing up dolls, and talking fancy.
Though her negative personality decreases during the third season, her bossy trait is brought up in several episodes after season three. In season one, her personality was brought out in each episode she appeared.
Looks
Tasha has yellow skin and wears an orange dress with eight light orange flowers. She wears red mary-jane shoes and red underwear, though both often change color when playing a character in a story. Tasha has a red-pink tongue, dark yellow eyebrows, yellow eyelashes and two slighty sunken nostrils above her mouth.
