* Formerly

**Deedra Featherstone** is a young rabbit girl who lives in Cascade Crestfalls and main protagonist of *Helping Hands*. She was voiced by Chaister Garrincha and Braddock Schroeder in the show's earlier seasons.

Her mother is Mrs. Featherstone, and her father is Mr. Featherstone.

## Description from website

*With enormous glasses and the intelligence to match, little bunny Deedra is truly a star in the eyes of her employees, family, and friends. She is the boss of Featherstone Incorporated, as well as her home of Cascade Crestfalls, both of which she manages to run without trouble. Deedra is a carefree and fun-loving bunny who loves to play, as long as her work comes first.*

## Appearance

Deedra has white fur with a small round cottontail, and long bunny ears, which she has a limited degree of control over. Her ears respond to her mood, such as sticking straight up when happy or flopping down when sad. One such occurrence is the episode "Model Misdemeanor", when she is saddened due to the loss of her voice.

Deedra's attire consists of a long-sleeved green dress with a pearlized carrot necklace. Her glasses are kind of large and round, so the others like to tease her about it.

## Personality

Deedra is a champion of high culture. She is a self-proclaimed genius, member of the Republican Party, and a valedictorian in kindergarten class. She is a businessbunny and the CEO of Featherstone Incorporated, who believes that natural landscapes will create a better world for future generations. A workaholic, she is often bossy, over-stressed, and possesses a short temper, but is easy to calm down. She acts as a voice of reason to her friends when they get in a tough spot with their misadventures.

On top of this, Deedra has also proven to be very resourceful and inventive. She is a remarkably cunning strategist as well, as revealed in the episode "Cascade of Calamity," plotting elaborate schemes, and decoying everybody's perceptions to achieve her goal, though she is often underestimated due to her significantly young age, which she tends to use to her advantage.

While Deedra is certainly very intelligent and mature for someone her age, there are some occasions showing that she is still just a little kid, such as having stuffed animals, playing with toys, tea parties, drawing with crayons, blowing bubbles, etc.

Since she is the only truly responsible member of the group, Deedra does most of the work, and in addition, works long hours at her company. Deedra also suffers from a tremendous amount of emotional stress because of her many duties, and as such, is quite temperamental whenever upset. Despite this, Deedra is still a good friend, very supportive, forgiving, kind-hearted, has a softer side, and she still loves the others very much.

## Trivia

* In many respects, she serves as a sort of parallel to Snowball from *The Secret Life of Pets*, and has been seen exhibiting Snowball-esque behaviors in several episodes. Examples of this phenomenon include:
	+ "Body Language", where she is rescuing her friends by learning to swim and going underwater.
	+ "Caught in the Middle", in which she is escaping the scene of a crime by hijacking a large school bus. Deedra is not known for her safe driving practices, as she faints unconscious by the end of the episode.
	+ "The Gingerbread Mysteries" reveals that Deedra also has a thing with sugar, which controls her behavior. It takes effect immediately, making her act extremely hyperactive and wonky. She needs to eat better to behave like herself again.
	+ Deedra's pink ballerina outfit in "The Dancing Queen" resembles the outfit of Snowball's owner.
	+ She also knows how to manipulate others by looking cute, as proven in "Deedra's World Revolving."
	+ In "Rough Draft", Deedra wants to become a superhero. Her superhero costume resembles Snowball's; however it is a lighter shade of blue and gold, and it has a star logo instead of an S-shaped one.
	+ "The Carrot Whisperer" is the biggest example, in which she quotes "I know who's looking for you, and she's got long ears, big teeth, and a cottontail!"
	+ In numerous episodes throughout the series, Deedra's front teeth are capable of gnawing carrots into different shapes, a clear reference to how Snowball was seen gnawing a carrot into a key.
* Deedra could also resemble a nerd, with her thinking she doesn't fit in, being chubby, and with her big round glasses and sweater.
* Her main method of locomotion is hopping. Deedra also elects to hop around when she moves, instead of walking at times.
* In the series, whenever she encourages her friends to do something, the other characters will happily shout to her: "Thanks, Deedra, for the inspiration." or in later seasons, "Thank you, Deedra! You are an inspiration for our world... especially this one!"
* Deedra is the company's boss due to her parents often traveling for business, appointing her to replace them.
	+ On a lesser note, Deedra's parents are very fond of her, affectionately calling her "Deedledee", "Deedles", and "Dee-Dee Boo".
* As of season 3 onwards, Deedra gets a three-year-old brother named Clarkson Featherstone. A recurring theme in the *Helping Hands* series is now the many tensions between Deedra and her younger brother. She tries to teach Clarkson to be strong, dominating, and not take "no" for an answer, in her own words "in a male-dominated society." However, because of this, she unintentionally distorts Clarkson's ideas on how to be with others. In addition to that, it's hinted that Deedra is Clarkson's role model in various ways.
* Deedra is the second Kiddie character to be involved with a corporation or company of some sort. The first is Lindorsey from *Inventor Scouts*.
* Due to her wearing glasses all the time, Deedra possibly has some form of sight-related issue, since it is heavily implied that she cannot see without her glasses.
	+ In the episode "Lost Your Marbles", Kenji used Deedra's glasses as makeshift binoculars to spy on Sarah and her new friends.
	+ Similarly, in another episode "Random Acts of Guidance", Deedra proceeded to walk out onto the street and then mistook an oncoming car for something else.
	+ Once in the episode "Loquacious Taste", when fighting Bobtail, she briefly removed her glasses, only to quickly put them back on with the implication that she needed them to see.
* She tends to yell and is often seen sipping a carrot milkshake.
* People call her "the boss" and she likes that.
* Her favorite catchphrase is "Time to take it up a notch!"
* In "Consider The Following," it is revealed that her father has a temper, and her mother is a perfectionist. This could be where Deedra gets her anger issues and perfectionism from.
* When overjoyed or frustrated, she tends to hop up and down rapidly.
	+ In addition, she can fly whenever hopping around or rushing.
* She sometimes appears to have super-strength.
* Deedra's temper is just as short as her parents', but she only loses it in certain conditions. One being unable to...
* Some of her personal favorites show that she is likely younger than the other characters. For example, liking soft music and butterflies.
	+ In fact, she has her own theme song which is a mix of harpsichord with a glockenspiel beat. This is played several times per episode.
* Deedra's character is based mostly around the joke "They say carrots are good for your eyes, have you ever seen a bunny wearing glasses?", when in actuality, real bunnies tend to favor other things over carrots.
* One running gag involves Deedra getting struck by lightning, and *literally getting turned into something else*, such as gold, diamonds, ice, wood, a pinata, or even chocolate!
* There is much confusion as to exactly what kind of eyes Deedra has. She so rarely takes off her glasses that the producers have actually changed her eyes multiple times. In one episode, she takes off her glasses while crying and has black beady eyes. This is interesting compared to later seasons, where she sometimes takes off her glasses and clearly is seen with full eyes.
* She is the greatest bunny in Cascade Crestfalls, a fact she is very proud of.
* Her birthday is on May 12th, and she is currently seven years old, three months, and 23 days.
* Deedra is also not one who cries easily, but when she does, the other characters feel very sorry for her. This was seen in only three episodes: "Magic Secrets Revealed", "Never The Less", and "Terminal Dosis".
* In the episode "Magic Secrets Revealed", she finds her middle name embarrassing, and it gives her bad luck as well.
* Deedra is one of the few child characters with a smartphone in the show. In later seasons, she recently owns another smartphone, resembling an iPhone.
* Also in "The Dancing Queen", it has been suggested that Deedra takes ballerina dancing classes after school.
* Deedra has a huge obsession with Sunny Bunnies, and this is one of the only things that can distract her from her top priorities.
	+ Because of this, her fur is occasionally capable of changing different colors (such as orange, pink, purple, blue, and green), depending on the Sunny Bunnies.
* Despite appearing younger than most of the others, her actual tenure at the company remains a mystery.
* At the age of only two, Deedra was promoted to the rank of boss, serving as the leader of the entire organization.
