The character Pointing lady refers to an unnamed woman seen pointing at one of Tobey's robots in the opening sequence of the TV series.
In the opening sequence the camera begins zoomed in on her mouth and pans out, showing her standing next to Todd. She appears in the sequence with Blue-jacketed lady, Running Man, Sally Botsford, and Toque guy. She is not Mrs. Ming, and it is unclear whether that proximity is coincidental or if she might be a relative (like an aunt). There is no evidence to confirm or deny any relationship to Todd Ming.
She appears in supporting roles in many of the WordGirl episodes, but rarely has a speaking part. A few of her appearances are listed below. She also regularly appears in the audience of May I Have a Word?, sitting next to Tessa.
Sean seems to be her son.

In part 4 of The Rise of Miss Power when Miss Power hijacks the news station, during the scene when Miss Davis is angrily watching the broadcast (on the far right of the screen) the pointing lady is doing so also, 2 spots to the left (or to Miss Davis' right). She has a speaking role here (and is revealed to have a southern accent), protesting against Miss Power, who quickly sends her minion to capture her. She is not seen in the episode after this point, unlike other captured people like Reginald or Sally who were later seen in the prison.
