Becky Botsford/WordGirl -

She's aged up

WordGirl is a superhero whose superpowers and abilities include flying at the speed of sound, super hearing, super strength, and a comprehensive vocabulary, of which she teaches people. She also battles villains in her hometown of Fair City along with her monkey sidekick, Captain Huggy Face. Her alter ego is mild-mannered 10 (later 11)-year-old fifth grade student, Becky Botsford, who attends Woodview Elementary School. WordGirl can instantly change into her suit, and back again into her adopted human identity (depending on the scenario) by touching her shirt where her emblem would be, and saying her catchphrase, “Word up!”

She was voiced by Dannah Phirman, while Candi Milo (who also voiced Maya Santos, Dexter, Nick Dean, Coco, Madame Foster, Ms. Nora Wakeman, Irma Lair, The Flea, Pulgita, and Snap) voiced her on the WordGirl website on PBSKids.org.

Becky Botsford, better known by her superhero alias, WordGirl, is the titular main protagonist of the PBS animated TV series of the same name.

WordGirl has shoulder length dark brown hair and light brown skin. Her outfit, helmet, gloves and boots are in different varieties of red (her gloves and boots being dark red, for example), has a golden cape, 2-way communication belt and her symbol in the middle of her outfit is a yellow star against a red shield; when she strikes an enemy or shoots into the sky, she leaves a twinkling star at the end of her sonic streak, similar to the trail of a shooting star.

As Becky Botsford, she wears a green V-neck shirt, purple skirt and headband, and knee length socks with black and white shoes.
