The following is a list of characters featured in the series The Simpsons.

Characters

Main Characters

Image	Name	Description
	Homer Simpson	Homer Jay Simpson is the spouse of Marge and father of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Homer is overweight (said to be ~240 lbs), lazy, short-tempered and often ignorant to the world around him. Although Homer has many flaws, he has shown to have great caring, love, and even bravery to those he cares about and, sometimes, even others he doesn't. Homer works as a low-level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in Sector 7G, although he is often incompetent and negligent towards his duty.
	Marge Simpson	Marjorie Jacqueline "Marge" Simpson, (née Bouvier), is the homemaker and was sometimes strict and a full-time crazy mom of the Simpson family. She and her husband Homer have three children: Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge has flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from a police officer to an anti-violence activist.
	Bart Simpson	Bartholomew JoJo "Bart" Simpson is the mischievous, rebellious, misunderstood, disruptive and "potentially dangerous" eldest child. He is the only son of Homer and Marge Simpson, and the older brother of Lisa and Maggie.
	Lisa Simpson	Lisa Marie Simpson is the elder daughter and middle child of the Simpson family and a charismatic 8-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement of the intelligence level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she is also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies such as playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies.
	Maggie Simpson	Margaret Evelyn "Maggie" Simpson is the 1-year-old, and youngest, child of Marge and Homer, and the baby sister to Bart and Lisa. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family.

	Charles Montgomery Burns	Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber Burns, also known as Monty Burns, Montgomery Burns, C.M. Burns, and Mr. Burns, is the owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Burns is Springfield's richest, oldest, and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billions and in one instance was pegged at exactly $1,800,037,022.
	Moe Szyslak	Moammar Morris "Moe" Szyslak, also known as Moe the Bartender, is the proprietor and bartender of "Moe's Tavern", a Springfield bar frequented by Homer and his friends.
	Principal Seymour Skinner	Walter Seymour Skinner (born as Armin Tamzarian)​, better known as Seymour Skinner and Principal Skinner is the fox principal of Springfield Elementary School, and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, Bart Simpson being a standout example.
	Ned Flanders	Nedward "Ned" Flanders is a cat and the Simpson Family's extremely religious next "diddly-door" neighbor. He is a genuinely well-meaning good-natured person and is one of the few in Springfield to whom that description applies. Though firmly religious, he can be timid and something of an easy pushover. He thoroughly worships God and strictly follows the Bible as literally as possible and is easily shocked when challenged on any point of dogma.
	Krusty the Clown	Sir Herschel Shmoikel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky, better known by his stage name Krusty the Clown, is the cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking lion clown host of Bart, Lisa and Maggie's favorite TV show The Krusty the Clown Show.
	Abraham Simpson	Abraham Jebediah Simpson II, also known as "Grampa Simpson", or simply as "Grampa" is the patriarch of the Simpson family, the father of Homer Simpsons, father-in-law of Marge Simpson, and the paternal grandfather of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson.
	Chief Clancy Wiggum	Chief Clancy Wiggum is the head of police of the Springfield Police Department. He is an extreme stereotype of a lazy police officer. Chief Wiggum is morbidly obese, straightforwardly indecent, ignorant, incompetent, and lazy, with a fondness for doughnuts. While he pretentiously feigns authority, he has little regard for individual rights or even public safety.
	Kent Brockman	Kent Brockman, once known as Kenny Brockelstien is a local TV news 'personality' for Channel 6. He hosts the Channel 6 weekday news (Scott Christian is the weekend news anchor and Kent's fill-in) as well as Smartline, a local current affairs show, and also Eye on Springfield, which focuses mostly on Springfield's entertainment news.
	Milhouse Van Houten	Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten is a ten year old boy and Bart Simpson's best friend who has a crush on Lisa. He is allergic to regular cow's milk. As the only child of Luann and Kirk Van Houten, Milhouse's most distinctive physical traits are his blue hair, big nose and extreme nearsightedness (depicted by very small eyes), requiring thick glasses to correct his eyesight as he can't see without them. He has regular intelligence but somewhat poor social skills. Although devious in his own way, Milhouse is quite gullible, which is why he is often led into trouble by Bart, who is not shy about taking advantage of the other's naïveté.
	Apu Nahasapeemapetilon	Dr. Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Ph.D. Jr. is the possum operator of the Kwik-E-Mart. He was an immigrant from India, and as such, speaks with a strong Indian accent.
	Lenny Leonard	Lenford "Lenny" Leonard is the best friend of Carl Carlson and, along with Carl, second best friend of Homer Simpson, behind Barney Gumble. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and possesses a master's degree in nuclear physics, but he is portrayed as a simple, often naive, blue-collar working man.
	Waylon Smithers	Waylon Joseph Smithers, Jr. (better known as "Mr. Smithers" or simply "Smithers") is Mr. Burns' deeply devoted personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. Burns, however, rarely views Smithers as worth any sort of genuine warmth or care, and much of the humorous dynamic between the two characters comes from this tension.
	Nelson Muntz	Nelson Mandela Muntz is a wolf and a child citizen of Springfield. He is the leader of the school bullies at Springfield Elementary School (despite being the youngest and shortest), even though he is also the most independent of them. He is a fourth-grader.
	Dr. Julius Hibbert	Dr. Julius Micheal Hibbert, M.D., better known as Dr. Hibbert, is a hippopotamus and Springfield's most prominent and competent doctor, though he sometimes makes no effort to hide or make light of his high prices. Hibbert is very good-natured, and is known for finding a reason to laugh at nearly every situation. He is often assisted by Dr. Nick Riviera.
	Edna Krabappel	Edna Krabappel is a 4th-grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School. Dealing with Bart Simpson and his shenanigans did nothing but aggravate Edna's apathy.
	Carl Carlson	Carlton "Carl" Carlson, Jr. is a safety operations supervisor from Sector 7G of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, where he works alongside his childhood friends Lenny Leonard and Homer Simpson.
	Sideshow Bob	Dr. Robert "Bob" Underdunk Terwilliger, Jr., more commonly recognized by his stage name, Sideshow Bob, is an owl who was originally Krusty the Clown's sidekick before starting a life of crime that began with an attempt to frame Krusty for armed robbery. Bob is a self-proclaimed genius, member of the Republican Party, champion of high culture, former children's entertainer-turned-criminal mastermind and Bart Simpson's nemesis. He loves operettas, the likes of Gilbert and Sullivan, and is also known for his gigantic feet, which have gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.
	Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby	Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell The Edge "Diamond Joe" Quimby Jr., better known as Mayor Quimby is a panda and the Mayor of Springfield. He appears as a slick, opportunistic politician whose chief priorities seem to be keeping himself in office, womanizing, and various other forms of corruption, including embezzling tax money, taking bribes from Fat Tony, the local Mafia Don, and giving monthly kickbacks to the equally corrupt Chief Wiggum. The seal on the wall of his office reads "Corruptus in Extremis," which is Latin for "corrupt in the extreme." He speaks with a peculiar stutter.
	Superintendant Chalmers	Gary Chalmers is the superintendent of Springfield's school district.
	Groundskeeper Willie	William Sean McLavel, also known as G.K. Willington Esquire, and William MacMoran is the groundskeeper and janitor of Springfield Elementary School who's originally from Scotland. Willie's job is to supervise the children of the School during recess, and clean the halls. He is recognizable for his red hair and thick Scottish accent.
	Barney Gumble	Bernard Arnold "Barney" Gumble is the Springfield town drunk and Homer Simpson's best friend, although to a lesser extent after high school.
	Cletus Spuckler	Cletus Delroy Montfort Bigglesworth Spuckler, also known as Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel, is a stereotypical redneck with a good-natured personality. He is thin and is usually portrayed wearing a pair of jeans. He resides with his family on Rural Route 9 in Springfield.
	Otto Mann	Otto Foreman is a former school underachiever who now drives the school bus for Springfield Elementary. Otto was initially conceived as a caricature of heavy metal music aficionados who mostly play guitar and do drugs while occupying a low-level labor job. He then became a character well known for his party tendencies and calling others slang such as "dude", "lady", or "pops".
	Patty Bouvier	Patricia Maleficent​ "Patty" Bouvier is one of Marge's two cynical chain-smoking sisters (the other being Selma), who works at the DMV and has a strong dislike for her brother figure-in-law, Homer.
	Selma Bouvier	Selma Bouvier is one of Marge's chain-smoking sisters. She works at the DMV and possesses a strong dislike for her brother-in-law, Homer, although on extremely rare occasions she shows kindness towards him and seems to tolerate him. She seems to despise Homer slightly less than her friend Patty Bouvier.
	Ralph Wiggum	Ralph Wiggum is the son of Police Chief Clancy Wiggum and a student and Springfield Elementary School. Ralph is a well-meaning boy who suffers from either severe learning and social disabilities, and/or some other form of childhood psychiatric disorder. The nature of his mentality is kept rather ambiguous, much like many of the signature traits of much of the show's cast. Like almost every other character in Springfield, he may not be quite as simple as he first seems, as evidenced by his hinted immense potential as a performer.
	Martin Prince	Martin Prince, Jr. is a friend and classmate of Bart Simpson, and is Lisa's rival in intelligence. He is Nelson's favorite target for bullying and is an academically brilliant teacher's pet, and is portrayed as a stereotypical nerd. Martin is a fourth-grade student at Springfield Elementary School. He is usually shown on friendly terms with Bart due to the fact that he is occasionally seen with him, along with Nelson, Milhouse, and other kids.
