''Word up!'' WordGirl is the title character of her show and main protector of Fair City.
Her secret identity is mild-mannered 5th grader Becky Botsford, but whenever evil arises, she instantly becomes WordGirl by placing her hand to her chest and exclaiming, "Word up!".
Her trademark insignia consists of a red star imposed on a golden shield. She appears to have a fondness for maroon, as both her WordGirl and Becky designs wear it.
WordGirl is largely popular in Fair City, which she protects, and there has been more merchandising and honoring of the heroine. She has even received many over ''200'' keys to the city.
History[]
WordGirl was born on the planet Lexicon, and as an toddler accidentally wandered onto a spaceship, which was piloted by Captain Huggyface. While he was driving the spaceship, WordGirl woke and startled him, making them collide into an asteroid and forcing him to crash land on Earth in order to save the both of them. However, neither of them have tried to return to Lexicon since.
WordGirl was then adopted by Tim and Sally Botsford, who at that point had not having children of their own (though later they had their own boy, T.J. Botsford, who would be her sibling), and she was given the name "Becky." Captain Huggyface was also "adopted" as a pet and given the name "Bob." The downed spaceship remained in the same spot and would then be used as WordGirl's secret hideout.
