Biff, Chip and Kipper / int_1b60dcba	type	The Bully
Biff, Chip and Kipper / int_1b60dcba	comment	The Bully: Rosie from "The Bully". First, she gets Chip into trouble when she draws on his picture and he retaliates by doing the same, insults Biff, Chip, Nadim, Aneena, Wilf and Wilma, nicks Biff's crisps, pulls Aneena's hair, knocks over Wilma for trying to stand up for Aneena, then forces Chip to tell her about the Magic Key. She has a change of heart after the Key teaches her a lesson using its magic and after Chip and Wilma save her from getting bullied herself.

She even goes on a Jumping Castle labelled "Children Only" with the children, and causes enough accidents to cause Mum and the man who owned the Jumping Castle to get cross with her.

They initially use simple costume hats and sticks as props, but Mrs May likes "the little play" enough to organize a full-scale production with full-body costumes, make-up, props like fake axes and wands, and even set design with help from the children's parents.
