Queen Rapsheeba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rapsheeba congratulates Snap for winning a contest she was judging.

Queen Rapsheeba is a fictional character from the Nickelodeon animated television series ChalkZone, on which she has been a semi-regular since the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "Rapunzel". In the short, she played the title role in the Globe Theater's stage production of the same name. But this particular performance was almost ruined by a freshly-drawn thundercloud that destroyed the set. Fortunately, Rudy Tabootie drew up a new set, and Rapsheeba's biggest admirer, Snap, volunteered to play the part of the Knight (seeing how the guy playing the part ran off). Both her speaking and "rapping" voices are provided by Russi Taylor (credited in the Oh Yeah! Cartoons short as "Rosslyn Taylor".

Rapsheeba often appears to host big festivities in ChalkZone, such as car shows and hoedowns, which Snap will attend only if she's there.

It is unknown if Rapsheeba really feels about Snap the same way he feels about her, considering her apparent vanity. However, Snap often rescues her performances when she needs his help most, such as in "Snapsheebah" and "Irresistible". Also, she appears to swoon for him at one point in the half-hour episode "Double Trouble" and on occasion refers to him as "her man".

Her name is an obvious pun on "the Queen of Sheba"/Queen Latifah.
