  • Phoebe Heyerdahl is a fictional character in the Hey Arnold! TV Series. She is one of the most intelligent children out of Arnold's friends.
  • Phoebe Heyerdahl is Helga Pataki's best friend in Hey Arnold! She is a young half-Japanese girl who was born in Kentucky before moving to Hillwood. She is one of the smartest fourth-grade students in P.S. 118, to the point that she was once given a pass to the sixth grade. She is often there to give Helga someone to confide in, and she is also one of the few characters to know about Helga's crush on Arnold. Phoebe also has a crush on Gerald Johanssen, which appears to be mutual.
  • Phoebe was born in Kentucky and, at some point, moved to Hillwood at a young age. Her distinctive features include a huge lump of black hair at the top of her head bounded by a small yellow scrunchie, and stereotypes for smart children in animated shows, such as big eyeglasses (in Phoebe's case, with blue monochromatic lenses), a short stature, and squeaky voice. She always tries to be the first one with the answer, and isn't exactly thrilled when someone else does better ("Ms. Perfect", "Phoebe Cheats").
  • Phoebe Heyerdahl is a fictional character in the animated series Hey Arnold!. She is Helga's best friend and sidekick, as Gerald is to Arnold. She was voiced by Anndi McAfee for the entire run of the series. Helga often makes Phoebe her own personal slave, as Phoebe is too nice to resist obeying her every whim. She is also one of the three people who know that Helga is in love with Arnold, the other ones being Lila and Dr. Bliss, Helga's psychiatrist.

  • Phoebe was born in Kentucky and, at some point, moved to Hillwood at a young age. Her distinctive features include a huge lump of black hair at the top of her head bounded by a small yellow scrunchie, and stereotypes for smart children in animated shows, such as big eyeglasses (in Phoebe's case, with blue monochromatic lenses), a short stature, and squeaky voice. She always tries to be the first one with the answer, and isn't exactly thrilled when someone else does better ("Ms. Perfect", "Phoebe Cheats"). Among her most notable moments was when she won the City Academic Bowl ("Phoebe Takes the Fall"), a competition that she shouldn't even have been in, as Helga, in an attempt to win the only trophy her older sister Olga never won, had won her school's spot at the Bowl by forcing Phoebe to miss the final question (ironically, McAfee did not receive credit for the role in that episode). At the opposite end of the spectrum, she was utterly humiliated in front of the entire student body ("Phoebe's Little Problem") when she was caught passing gas into a microphone on stage as she was receiving an award, and subsequently refused to ever go to school again (somewhat ironically, the award was for her perfect attendance). Among her other achievements are winning the Parents Tournament Weekend with her parents ("Parents Day") and the City Go-Kart Grand Prix with Helga and Harold ("Grand Prix"). She's also pretty good at handling a fencing sword ("Phoebe Cheats"), even when it's a flashlight ("Wheezin' Ed"). There is some evidence that she is musically inclined as well; she's carrying what appears to be a string bass in "Helga on the Couch" and is practicing some sort of large horn in "School Dance". (However, music is one of those disciplines where you need creativity, and that seems to be one of few things that Phoebe lacks, if "Phoebe Cheats" is anything to go by.) Just as Gerald hangs around with Arnold, Phoebe hangs around with Helga, who considers Phoebe her best friend (she even says so in "Magic Show", after yelling at her), mainly because Phoebe is probably the only person who likes Helga the way she is ("Helga's Makeover"). At first, Phoebe was Helga's "shadow", right down to the point where seeing Helga cry made her cry as well ("Downtown As Fruits"), but she's starting to "let go", and it may be in part because she's developing a noticeable crush on Gerald.

  • Phoebe Heyerdahl is a fictional character in the animated series Hey Arnold!. She is Helga's best friend and sidekick, as Gerald is to Arnold. She was voiced by Anndi McAfee for the entire run of the series. Phoebe is among the smartest children in the school (she was given a free pass to the 6th grade in "Phoebe Skips.") Her distinctive features include a huge lump of black hair at the top of her head bounded by a small yellow scrunchie, and stereotypes for smart children in animated shows, such as big eyeglasses (in Phoebe's case, with blue monochromatic lenses), a short stature, and squeaky voice. Among her most notable moments was when she won the City Academic Bowl ("Phoebe Takes The Fall"), a competition that she should not even have been in, as Helga, in an attempt to win the only trophy her older sister Olga never won, had won her school's spot at the Bowl by forcing Phoebe to miss the final question (ironically, McAfee did not receive credit for the role in that episode).

Among her other achievements are winning the Parents Tournament Weekend with her parents ("Parents Day") and the City Go-Kart Grand Prix with Helga and Harold ("Grand Prix"). Not much is known about Phoebe's family, except that her father Kyo (George Takei) is of Japanese descent. In the Episode "Phoebe Cheats", her father said "Kampai!" (which approximately means "Cheers!" in Japanese) and is good at fencing, and her mother Reba (Jean Smart) has a strong Southern accent and is most likely from Kentucky (in "Phoebe Cheats", this is where Phoebe says she is from). Her parents only had speaking roles twice: "Phoebe Cheats" and "Phoebe's Little Problem". Helga often makes Phoebe her own personal slave, as Phoebe is too nice to resist obeying her every whim. She is also one of the three people who know that Helga is in love with Arnold, the other ones being Lila and Dr. Bliss, Helga's psychiatrist. Anndi McAfee and Francesca Marie Smith (the voice of Helga) also voice for best friends on another show, Recess, as two members of the Ashley clique. One of the creators of that show, Joe Ansolabehere, also wrote for Hey Arnold!.
