Originally, there was one character, Kermit. The name derives from a son of Theodore Roosevelt! originally, he was not a true frog but was billed as a Frog-Like Creature- - later- when the Muppets were regular characters on Sesame Street it was solidified ( hard thing to do with Puppets- who are soft-bodied)- as Kermit- The Frog. Some of the other characters such as Ernie and Bert were purposely derived for the Sesame Street program, it is debatable whether they are really (Muppets). I"m not sure about the Big Bird.
