Bio[]
“Miss A is a girl with the best of sneezes;
She says, "ă'choo" when she pleases.
We all sneeze and say, "choo,"
But she says "ă, ă, ă, ă'choo.”
Miss A is the 7th Letter Person introduced in the original program.
In her original 1968 design, she had yellow skin, red eyelids, green hair with pigtails, red hairbands, arm puff-balls colored with red, green, pink and orange beads, orange-and-pink shoes, and an orange-and-red-striped dress. She also holds a yellow hankie.
In the 1972 TV series, her appearance is based off her 1968 design, despite that she now wears a white-and-red-striped dress, arm puff-balls colored with green, red and white beads, and a wide mouth with teeth like Mister M.
In 1973, Miss A's appearance was redesigned. She now has two pink bows on her pigtails, has larger eyes with lime-green eye pupils, a sky-blue dress, arm puff-balls now colored blue, pink, green and yellow, and blue shoes. However, in the Fables from the Letter People book "The A-Choo Confusion", she has a bob-cut hairstyle.
In the 1977 comics, Miss A's design is based on her 1973 Alpha Time design, with a blue dress and a round bob-cut hairstyle, but also has elements of her 1968 Alpha One design with orange eyeshadow and lipstick.
