She kept her personality, color and shape, but now has pigtails instead of mini-buns, has green bows on her newly reddish-orange hair, a pink nose, wears a green fanny pack and her shoes have been changed (like Miss Chatterbox's, only green). She also has a Southern-US accent. Her catchphrase: "Just trying to be helpful." The only ones who believe that Miss Helpful is truly helpful are both Mr. Lazy and Mr. Scatterbrain. In the US and UK Versions, she is voiced by Katie Leigh and Jo Wyatt, Emma Tate in Season 2. She is first seen in Physical.
