Character from hey-arnold by
Helga's gentle, brilliant best friend — a bookish overachiever who is quieter than her intelligence deserves and braver than anyone gives her credit for.
Phoebe is by far the most academically accomplished kid in the fourth grade, which she balances with a total lack of arrogance. She is the kind of person who raises her hand because she genuinely wants to answer the question, not to show off. She is naturally gentle and sometimes lets Helga walk all over her, but she has a core of quiet resolve that comes out in unexpected moments — she has stood up to bullies, entered competitions she was terrified of, and defended friends when it counted. She is half-Japanese and half-American, has a warm relationship with both her cultural heritages, and occasionally surprises people with unexpected competencies — she is good at kendo, for example. Her mutual non-acknowledged interest in Gerald is one of the neighborhood's worst-kept secrets.
A small, slight Japanese-American girl with straight black hair cut in a precise bob and round glasses that frame large, earnest eyes. Wears a green dress with a yellow collar. Her posture is careful and slightly deferential, as if she is always prepared to take a step back.
