Lady A

Lady Betty Aberlin is the niece (originally the great-niece) of King Friday XIII and his brother Paul. Their sister, Claire, is her mother. She is the granddaughter of King Thursday and cousin of Prince Tuesday, Nicky, Quentin, Polly, and Kevin. Lady Aberlin celebrates her birthday on December 30th.^[1563]

For a short time, Lady Aberlin was an assistant to Harriett Elizabeth Cow at the school at Someplace Else. She has also served as the head of the Neighborhood of Make-Believe's Water Department^[1529] and as the Neighborhood’s Director of Research (including wind and laughing research). While working on laughing research, Lady Aberlin turns into a tiger.^[1628]

Lady Aberlin is gererally a very positive personality in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe and often shows this through song and dance. She has a close relationship with each neighbor, particularly with Daniel Striped Tiger. Lady Aberlin and Daniel often talk about their feelings and occasionally share an ugga-mugga -- a sign of affection demonstrated by rubbing their noses together.

Notes

Lady Aberlin appeared in the "real" Neighborhood in Episode 1013 when she delivered a royal wedding invitation to Mister Rogers.
In Episode 1695, an inexplicable mark is seen on the inside of Lady Aberln's left arm.

The fish costume Lady Aberlin wears in Episode 1739 and Episode 1740 is the same one worn by Chef Brockett in Episode 1535.
