Bitzi Baxter

Bitzi Lynne Baxter (née: N/A) is Buster's mother. She is a single mother whom Buster lives with, and they both live in a condominium. Despite having divorced Bo Baxter, her maiden name is unknown. She is the editor-in-chief of the Elwood City Times. She is voiced by Ellen David.

Appearance and Personality
Bitzi is a rabbit depicted with a white complexion and auburn hair. She wears yellow glasses, a pink dress and wears a dark bluish-green coat over her dress when going to work. When she made her first appearance in the book Arthur's First Sleepover in 1994, she had blonde hair, blue glasses and was wearing an orange dress with reddish-orange polka-dots. Her appearance changed when she became a cartoon character, and has remained that way in the later books, as well.

She and Buster are best friends, and they even have their own handshake. They do everything together, such as going to movies and going grocery shopping and seeings how fast they can get everything and get to the checkout. She is overprotective of Buster, and at first she did not allow Buster to go to Arthur's sleepover because of a so-called UFO sighting. Despite her kind nature she often becomes frantic when problems occur, because she is trying her best to raise him without a male role model in the house to influence him. Early on, she was depicted as something of a worrywart, often panicking and becoming concerned for Buster's well-being over very minor things. However, in more recent seasons she has become more relaxed and seems to trust Buster more often than not. She dated Harry Mills starting in "Bitzi's Beau," and they broke up with each other in "Bitzi's Break-up." Since then, she has not had a boyfriend.
