Uniqua is the main protagonist of The Backyardigans. She is the only character to appear in every episode, as well as the only Backyardigan who is not a real animal. She is a unique creature, hence her name.

In an interview, the show's creator Janice Burgess said that Uniqua was based on herself: "“Uniqua is me. Or at least who I was as a kid. She’'s a ringleader. Out of the five, Uniqua is the main character, and we use her in every story."

Description

Uniqua is one of a kind. She’s funny - and loves to tell silly jokes and to tickle her friends. She’s a little mischievous. Uniqua would be the kid most likely to ring the doorbell and run away. But she’s sweet - she’ll notice if you’re happy or sad and say something about it because she cares about you. Graceful, agile, and light on her feet, Uniqua is not afraid of anything and can be quite the daredevil. She loves to run and climb and ride her bike faster than anyone. Uniqua is her name, and also her species – with her pink skin, pink spots, and dainty antennae, she doesn’t look like any other creature on the planet.

Looks

Uniqua is pink with dark pink spots. She has dark pink overalls with light pink spots and two red buttons. Her eyes are white with black pupils. She has two antennae and two red eyebrows.
