her name is a play on words of the magic word abracadabra. abby's magical powers are limited to popping in and out of thin air, floating when she's happy, and turning things into pumpkins. although familiar with the world of fairy tales, abby is astounded by such basic learning skills as drawing letters or counting, prompting her catchphrase "that's so magic!" she frequently uses her wand cell phone to call her mommy. when she's asked to return home, she says that she's "gotta poof". she can speak dragonfly and butterfly and is teaching rosita the languages, while rosita teaches her spanish. along with baby bear, abby begins attending school in a 2006 episode at the storybook community school, where mrs. goose is the teacher and other fairy tale characters like hansel and gretel are her classmates. her mother being the fairy godmother, went to that school and had the same teacher. in 2020 on sesame street in communities, abby was shown going to online pre-school, but is obviously a different school as she has a different teacher and elmo is now one of her classmates
