Eliza Thornberry

Elizabeth "Eliza" Thornberry (Voiced by Lacey Chabert) is a 12 year old girl, who (unknown to most except to her big sister Debbie) gained the ability to speak with animals after an encounter with an African shaman (as shown in the episode "Gift of Gab"). If she tells anyone that she can talk to animals, she'll lose her powers.

Despite her best intentions, Eliza's stubbornness that she's always right leads her strong desire to help to become destructive. Eliza is portrayed as a geek by her extensive zoological knowledge and her glasses, braces and by occasionally standing pigeon-toed. She and Darwin get into arguments when the situation gets bad..

Appearance
She has freckles and long red-orange hair that is usually worn in pigtails and occasionally a ponytail. She almost always wears a yellow dress, though later in the series she sports other clothes. Eliza is 11 in the series and 12 in the movie.
