Skeeter Skeeter is Scooter ' s twin sister , an athletic young girl predominantly featured in " Muppet Babies " . " Muppet Babies " . Unlike the other babies , Skeeter was created specifically for " Muppet Babies " in 1984 . With Miss Piggy being the only major female character in " The Muppet Show " cast , Skeeter was introduced as another female figure . An athletic young girl , Skeeter balances Piggy ' s ultra - feminine role . Skeeter is characterized as energetic , gutsy and spirited ; but , at times , can be a bit of a show - off . She and her brother Scooter would occasionally show signs of sibling rivalry in the nursery , with Skeeter often calling her brother a " nerd . " While she often expressed interest in being an athlete or gymnast , her brother was more interested in computers and books . As the only two girls in the group , Piggy and Skeeter would often compete for the female roles . Examples of this behavior can be seen in the second season episode " " , wherein they fight over playing Snow White , and in the fourth season ' s " " , in which Skeeter becomes jealous that Piggy " always gets to be queen . " Like many female Muppets , Skeeter was performed by male actors . Howie Mandel voiced the character for the first two seasons of " Muppet Babies " , after which Frank Welker took over the role . Skeeter never appeared in traditional puppet form , but she did appear as a photo puppet in the books " Muppet Babies ' Classic Children ' s Tales " and " Muppet Babies ' Classic Nursery Rhymes " . A large of the character was created for the Jim Henson ' s Muppet Babies Live ! stage show . A photograph of Baby Scooter and Skeeter can be seen in Miss Nanny ' s house in the 2018 version of " Muppet Babies " . " Muppet Kids " . A pre - teen version of Skeeter appeared in several Muppet Kids books where she was seen living with her brother and their dad . She is often depicted wearing a green shirt and a skirt . Similar to her younger incarnation , Skeeter has a lot of energy , and continues her love for sports . She is more outgoing than her brother , and maintains a friendship with Janice and Piggy . She has starring roles in " The Trouble with Twins " and " What a Mess ! " along with featured appearances in " 8 Great Stories for Kids , " " New Kid in the Neighborhood , " " The Best Gift of All , " and " Piggy Can ' t Wait . " Grown - up appearances . Skeeter has only rarely appeared as a grown - up character outside of " Muppet Babies " and " Muppet Kids " , the most notable appearance being in a 2010 comic book arc . Initially , her appearances are fleeting references , the first of which kept her hidden from view . When Fozzie Bear encounters two of his friends dressed as a giant in " Fozzie ' s Costume " ( from the 1991 storybook " It ' s Story Time " ) , he finds Scooter peering out through the jacket , while Skeeter ( atop his shoulders ) , speaks to Fozzie obscured within the mask . Her face is later seen in minor appearances on a Carl ' s Jr meal bag in 1993 and in the " Muppet Pick - Me - Up Book " " You ' ve Still Got Me " released in 1995 . The most development has been given to Skeeter as an adult when she featured prominently in " The Muppet Show Comic Book " during the " " story arc . Much like her role on " Muppet Babies " , she has a complicated relationship with Miss Piggy ; in one moment she appears to extend an olive branch , but in the same beat , plants an immature sign on Piggy ' s back . During her time at The Muppet Theatre , she affectionately refers to Scooter as a nerd , manipulates Andy and Randy as pawns in a practical joke on Piggy , takes a misplaced interest in Robin ' s well - being , and poses as Fozzie ' s girlfriend . As the story comes to a close , Skeeter heads back to college to finish her degree in archaeology , while also revealing that she is Agent X , an assistant for world famous detective Wormwood Soames . The dialogue throughout the four - part arc avoids using her name and the character is referred to as " Scooter ' s sister " throughout the story . This was due to concerns over the legal gray area of whether or not the " Muppet Babies " character was included Boom Studio ' s license agreement with Disney . Roger Langridge later cited that an arrangement was reached between Boom and Disney , and she finally signs a letter at the end of the story , as " Skeeter . " A similar - looking adult Skeeter also made background cameo appearances in the 2010 comic " Muppet Sherlock Holmes " and in the 2012 storybook " Green and Bear It " . Both were illustrated by Amy Mebberson who had drawn the " Family Reunion " story . In 2011 , Mebberson stated " I am determined to re - establish Skeeter as canon if it kills me . " Explaining Skeeter ' s absence . In MuppetZine issue 3 ( 1993 ) , " Muppet Babies " storyboard director Scott Shaw ! wrote : When asked in 2009 , " Whatever happened to Skeeter ? " , Muppet writer Jim Lewis stated : During an interview on the Inside the Magic podcast , Kermit the Frog explained that Skeeter has been on meditative retreat ever since becoming a Buddhist ; and when asked about his sister during a 2015 Twitter Q & A , Scooter replied : " Skeeter is currently studying overseas . And if she ever reaches dry land , she ' ll come visit . " A fan - made podcast entitled Skeeter - ial : A Muppet Babies Investigation launched in 2017 and takes a comedic episode - by - episode look at the original " Muppet Babies " in search of clues to explain what could have happened to Skeeter .
