**The Harvey Street, Bow** (Unknown real name) is a recurring character in *Harvey Street Kids*.

## Character

The Bow is very mysterious, she pops up out of nowhere to say something creepy. She can literally merge her eyes into one, is the only one on the block to enjoy cheesy B-movie violence, has no bones, and she even lives in an archetypal old, dark house. Nobody knows if she's truly human at all.

## Appearance

The Bow is an alleged white-skinned girl with light brown hair combed in two pigtails located at the bottom of her head with a short front fringe. Unlike the other kids, she has circular eyes instead of being oval. As a dress code, she wears a light yellow shirt with purple trim, navy blue shorts, and salmon-colored wellies-like shoes. Her most notable accessory, and the one that gives her her nickname, is her huge burgundy bow on her head. Given the facts of "Scare Bud" where she repeatedly acts as an animal and an interview with producer Brendan Hay, The Bow is canonically a witch's cat turned human.

## Abilities

She differentiates between lies and truth as seen in one episode titled, "Cereal".

## Notable Relationships

### Billy

She and Billy were paired up to get each other gifts for a Friendship Appreciation Day. She got Billy a worm, and Billy got her a bow made out of worms. Both of them loved each other's gifts. One time, they had a conflict over possession of Billy's balloon that he uses to fly with, which Audrey did not resolve.
