Uniqua

Uniqua is one of the main characters from Backyardigans and she appeared in every episode of every season but she is absent for eight episodes of Wipeout Canada and piano player Kelsi Nielsen appears in some episodes.

A curious, self-confident and high-spirited pink character of no existing real-life species (the series uses the name "Uniqua" for both the character and her species) wearing pink polka-dotted overalls. She has a pair of antennae on top of her head, the function of which is unknown. She is almost always sweet and friendly, though her strong opinions and occasional stubbornness get in the way of her relationships. She is more of a tomboy unlike her friend Tasha; where Tasha would like to have a tea party, she'd rather explore a cave or climb a mountain. She often imagines herself in roles requiring brains and fortitude (scientist, pirate captain, etc.), and loves books (as seen in episodes such as "The Masked Retriever"), but she can sometimes be more feminine like Tasha in a few episodes. She is the only character to be seen in every episode.

Creator Janice Burgess describes Uniqua as 'the child she wishes she was like as child'. She has been called simply "Uniqua, the pink" in Knights Are Brave And Strong.
