Marge Simpson "Now it's Marge's time to shine!" Gender: Female Type: Caring Mother Age: 36 Species: Human Portrayed by: Julie Kavner Status: Alive Media of origin: The Simpsons

Marjorie Jacqueline "Marge" Simpson (née Bouvier) (born in October 1, 1956), the tritagonist of The Simpsons, is the homemaker and full-time strict 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 police officer to anti-violence activist.

Why She Rocks

1. She has shown to be trusting and loving wife to Homer and mother of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.
2. She slaves over her family and cleans up their mess, making her quite unappreciated.
3. She cares a lot about her family and likes her very flawed and dimwitted but fun-loving husband just the way he is.
4. She would go to drastic measures just to protect the people she loves.
5. Like Ned Flanders, she just casually enjoys going to church.
6. She is wonderfully animated like most of the other Simpsons characters.
7. She has very high morals.
8. She has a great design and a kind personality.
9. She is needed by everyone in order to sustain stability. It was once even stated that Springfield would fall to bits without her.
10. Although she got flanderized during Seasons 16-30, she, along with her son Bart, were never flanderized during the show's decline throughout Seasons 11-15 and in season 31, and still kept their original personas during those seasons.
11. Her voice is pretty much more tolerable than Patty and Selma's voices.
12. Her backstories with Homer and other episodes featuring Homer and Marge's past on how they met before they got married are very touching, and sweet.

"Hrrmmmph..." Qualities

1. She has the tendency to be a "wet blanket", which isn't fitting for Marge.
2. She tries hard to avoid all risks, which isn't always a good thing.
3. Marge tends to consider anything that is not completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they are not all that special.
4. She can be very strict, overprotective, hypocritical and serious at times.
5. There have also been occasions where Marge's wishes and demands have led to trouble at the expense of her family.
6. She was flanderized to an overprotective mother in seasons 16-30, though not as bad Bart, Homer and Lisa, and she’s managed to recover from her flanderization since season 31.
7. Though Marge's voice is tolerable than Patty and Selma's voices, around seasons 24-present, it became more tired due to her voice actress aging.

Trivia

• The scene where she and Bart krumped became an internet meme.
