Bessie Busybody is a main character in LazyTown.

Description

Bessie's name says it all. She needs to know everyone's business and will go to great lengths to get it. She's usually thwarted by rotten timing or bad luck, but it never discourages her. For instance, she might be eavesdropping on gossip and just as she's about to garner a critical piece of information a loud horn might blare, foiling her.

She’s motivated by a desire to be respected. She would love to be the queen of LazyTown, if there were such a thing. She's a know-it-all and a wannabe, always on top of the latest fashion or trend to the point of pretension and superficiality. She tries to be a mother figure to the kids, but often it just comes off as patronizing and condescending. Her intentions are sound; she just doesn't possess the skills to be a good parent or role model. She’s oblivious to the Mayor's longing for her, but always entertains his advances. After all, he is her Mayor.LazyTown.com

Looks

Bessie has fair skin, blue eyes, and bright blue hair. She normally wears red lipstick, purple eyeshadow, and has a beauty mark on her cheek. Her regular outfit is a red business suit, a shirt with a floral design, a blue belt, blue high-heeled shoes, and a pearl necklace. Beginning in season 2, she sometimes wore a pink and white checked suit.

Appearances

Bessie appears in many episodes of LazyTown. Her debut was in "Welcome to LazyTown" and her final appearance was in the second-to-last episode, "Robbie's Dream Team". Footage of her and the Mayor dancing during the final episode was recorded and they originally had a large role in the episode, but this ended up being cut. Bessie also appears in the following LazyTown productions that are not part of the series:

Trivia

  • Bessie's Icelandic name is Stína Símalína, which translates to "Stína Phoneline".
  • Bessie used to smoke in the plays, this was probably removed due to the demographic being shifted to younger audiences.
  • According to LazyTown's Greatest Hits, her favorite song is Man on a Mission.
  • She’s always caught up in her own things and never notices Mayor Meanswell's obvious crush on her. That is until she tells Stephanie in “LazyTown’s Greatest Hits” that her favorite song is the one about her handsome uncle.
  • When the original pilot episode was produced, Bessie was written as Sportacus's mother. Although this plot point was changed for the show, it was still included in her original character description from 2003.
  • In “Swiped Sweets” it’s revealed that Bessie is allergic to sunflowers.
