Tasha lives on the left side of the backyard behind a fence, and enjoys playing with her friends Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin. Tasha is best friends with Uniqua, and they frequently play together when roleplaying on their adventures. Tasha is rational, headstrong, and a little bossy at certain points. On a few occassions, she may have a disagreement with a friend over something small (as shown in ''[[The Yeti]]'' or ''[[The Swamp Creature]]''), but Tasha, with the help of her imagination and friends, can always end the quarrels almost instantly. Depending on what character she is playing, Tasha can come across as being very bossy, while at other times, she may play a friendly worker, or even a 'damsel in distress', as shown in episodes like ''[[International Super Spy]]'', ''[[Blazing Paddles]]'' and ''[[Break Out!]].'' |

||
| − | Tasha is [[File:Run Tasha!.jpg|left|126px]]extremely confident and likes to be in charge most of the time. She is usually determined to get her way no matter what, however, she is never downright mean to her friends. Tasha usually is very opinionated and likes to make people do what she says. She is hard to scare, as pointed out in the episode ''[[It's Great To Be A Ghost!]]''. At other times, she can very relaxed, carefree, and happy, as shown in the episode ''[[A Giant Problem]]''. Tasha is also Uniqua's muchadmired and always eagerly-awaited play date. She looks sweet as pie but underneath her extra girly exterior beats the heart of a CEO - tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners, my-way-or-the-highway kind of gal. |

| + | The backyard transforms into the Icky-Finicky Swamp. Uniqua and Pablo walk out onto a pier, now wearing yellow-and-black life vests. They begin to look for tourists, and Pablo spots Tasha and Austin at the edge of the swamp. They sing a reprise of ''[[The Totally Awesome Swamp Adventure]]'' to Tasha and Austin to get them excited about touring the swamp, but Tasha and Austin aren't interested. "We want to see something ''really'' awesome." says Tasha, and they begin to leave. In order to get more customers, Uniqua and Pablo tell them about a mythical creature called the Swamp Creature and how they will get to see it on the tour. Even though Tour Guides Uniqua and Pablo think that are tricking their customers, little do they know that the story they told is actually true. |
||
| − | Tasha is rational, skeptical, and highly motivated to get her own way, but it's always special for Uniqua when Tas[[File:Backyardigans-tasha.jpg|right|72px]]ha is there, because she's someone who can also be giggly, silly and full of fun. She is one of the Backyardigans and lives in a yellow house. She goes on adventures with Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin. In most of their adventures, Tasha likes to make her friends do what she tells them to. Her interests include tea parties and talking fancy.[[File:Tashachoco.jpg|left|121px]] |
||
| + | The four get on a tour boat as Uniqua begins the tour. Tasha and Austin, who are now wearing blue life vests over their clothes, get excited. Austin films Tasha with his camcorder as she exclaims "I can't wait to see the Swamp Creature!" As they leave the dock, Tyrone the Swamp Creature emerges from the water. "Did she say 'Swamp Creature'? Why, that's ''me!''" he exclaims to the viewer. He waves hello to others in the tour boat, but no one sees him. "Nobody ever comes looking for ''me''. I should try to find those nice folks." he says happily. "Hey, wait up! I'm a-comin'!" Tyrone calls out, then he starts following the tour boat. |
||
| − | In season one, her bossy personality was brought out in most episodes she appeared (exceptions include ''[[The Snow Fort]]'', ''[[Cave Party]]'', ''[[Race Around the World]]'', and ''[[Eureka!]]''). In season two, her bossy trait decreased somewhat, and she was shown in many episodes as being sweet and helpful, as shown in episodes like ''[[Scared Of You]]'', in which Tasha threw a surprise birthday party for Austin, and ''[[Special Delivery]]'', in which Tasha played a member of a motorcycle gang devoted to helping others. By the third season, her bossy trait decreased significantly, but was brought up in a few season three episodes, though to a lesser extent. In the fourth season, her bossy trait disappeared almost completely. |
||
| + | On the tour, Pablo speaks through his tour guide bullhorn, pointing out various sights of the swamp to Tasha and Austin. Pablo finds them interesting, but Tasha and Austin want to know more about the Swamp Creature. Uniqua decides to "make something up", and she tells them that he's green. Pablo goes along with it. The four begin singing the song ''[[He's Green]]'' as they describe what the Swamp Creature looks like. During the song, Tasha and Austin ask various questions about him, such as where he sleeps, and what he eats. Uniqua tells Tasha that he eats s'mores on a stick (which is an important clue that nobody knows yet). After the song, Tasha starts to become impatient and wants to see the Swamp Creature now. Uniqua tells everyone to take their seats as she prepares to show them something. Uniqua and Pablo, who remain unaware of the Swamp Creature's existence, try to come up with a trick to convince Tasha and Austin that they saw the Swamp Creature. Uniqua gives Pablo a snorkel and tells him to go underwater and blow some bubbles when they stop. "All right, boss. Here goes nothing!" answers Pablo, and he gets off the tour boat. |

| − | ==Appearance== |
||
| − | Tasha has yellow skin and wears an orange dress with eight light-orange flowers. She usually wears red mary-jane shoes and red underwear, though both often change color (or, in the case of shoes, style) when playing a character in a story. Tasha has a red-pink tongue, dark yellow eyebrows, yellow eyelashes and two slighty sunken nostrils above her mouth. |

Summary
Swamp tour guides Uniqua and Pablo promise to show tourists Tasha and Austin the Swamp Creature, even if they have to trick them when they believe that there's no such thing as a Swamp Creature. Little do they know is that there really is a Swamp Creature!
Recap
Uniqua and Pablo are in the backyard wearing caps with images of a swamp on them. They introduce themselves to the viewers as tour guides of the Icky-Finicky Swamp. They start singing The Totally Awesome Swamp Adventure as they explain how every tour means an exciting adventure for tourists visiting the Icky-Finicky Swamp.
The backyard transforms into the Icky-Finicky Swamp. Uniqua and Pablo walk out onto a pier, now wearing yellow-and-black life vests. They begin to look for tourists, and Pablo spots Tasha and Austin at the edge of the swamp. They sing a reprise of The Totally Awesome Swamp Adventure to Tasha and Austin to get them excited about touring the swamp, but Tasha and Austin aren't interested. "We want to see something really awesome." says Tasha, and they begin to leave. In order to get more customers, Uniqua and Pablo tell them about a mythical creature called the Swamp Creature and how they will get to see it on the tour. Even though Tour Guides Uniqua and Pablo think that are tricking their customers, little do they know that the story they told is actually true.
The four get on a tour boat as Uniqua begins the tour. Tasha and Austin, who are now wearing blue life vests over their clothes, get excited. Austin films Tasha with his camcorder as she exclaims "I can't wait to see the Swamp Creature!" As they leave the dock, Tyrone the Swamp Creature emerges from the water. "Did she say 'Swamp Creature'? Why, that's me!" he exclaims to the viewer. He waves hello to others in the tour boat, but no one sees him. "Nobody ever comes looking for me. I should try to find those nice folks." he says happily. "Hey, wait up! I'm a-comin'!" Tyrone calls out, then he starts following the tour boat.
