Lucy Hooper

Lucy Hooper is the granddaughter of Mr. Hooper, the storekeeper of Hooper's Store.

Lucy debuted in Episode 0730, where Mr. Hooper explains to Big Bird that she hails from Texas. Later, in Episode 0933, Lucy's parents dropped her off on Sesame Street for a permanent stay with her grandfather. In Episode 1531, Lucy dates a boy from her class named John. Thinking she might finally believe in Snuffleupaguses, Big Bird brings his imaginary friend, Mr. Snuffleupagus, to a diner in Manhattan, where the two are eating.

Following the death of her grandfather in 1983, Lucy continued to make appearances on the show until 1989. She would often be seen helping David at Hooper's Store, Maria and/or Luis at the Fix-It Shop, and a couple of Muppet characters across the street.
