Rosita

 

Rosita is an upbeat, playful Muppet whose full name, Rosita la Monstrua de las Cuevas, means “the monster of the caves.” Her name may sound scary, but there's nothing dark or frightening about this bright character; she is named that because she is a fruit bat. Rosita loves to play with her friends and help them learn more about Spanish, her native language. She comes from Mexico, and is the first regular bilingual Muppet on the show. Rosita often combines English and Spanish when she speaks, and shows her affection by touching and hugging the person she’s talking to.

 Rosita, who joined Sesame Street in 1993, hosts the “Spanish Word of the Day,” in which she teaches children new words. She loves to play the guitar, and once played in a band called The Cute and Fuzzy Four, along with Elmo, Grover, and Zoe.
