Rosita is a turquoise, Spanish-speaking monster who first appeared on Sesame Street in 1991 (Season 23). Hailing from Mexico, her full name is Rosita, la Monstrua de las Cuevas (Rosita, the Monster of the Caves). She is the second bilingual Muppet to ever appear on the show, speaking both English and Spanish. The first was Osvaldo the Grouch. She is best friends with Zoe, Prairie Dawn, and Elmo, she is good friends with Telly Monster and Abby Cadabby, and she even has a secret but huge crush on Baby Bear. Rosita originally had wings attached to her arms, reflecting her original concept design as a fruit bat. In season 35, she was rebuilt and no longer had wings. In an interview, Rosita claims that her family flew from their cave (near Snuffy's) during a storm, like a flying squirrel, and she lost her wings.
