History Characters / TheSimpsonsElementarySchool

* MirrorCharacter: Whereas Edna was depressed and bitter, Rayshelle is passionate and kind. Also, Edna's husband left her, while Rayshelle is HappilyMarried.

Two students who were often seen alongside Bart and Milhouse early on. They have since faded into the background. Richard has had four voice-actors over the years: Jo Ann Harris, Creator/NancyCartwright, Pamela Hayden, and Maggie Roswell. Lewis has had five voice-actors over the years: Jo Ann Harris, Creator/NancyCartwright, Creator/PamelaHayden, Creator/RussiTaylor, Creator/TressMacNeille and most recently, Creator/KimberlyBrooks.

* VerbalBackspace: She has a tendency to say things that could be construed as negative or critical and, upon realizing that, saying something more positive.

* HappilyMarried: Her husband is a "good, but not great" obo player. She's not enthusiastic about his music, but tries to be supportive.

* FunnyForeigner: From Germany.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He was previously engaged to a woman named Becky until he broke off the engagement because he didn't want to give up heavy metal. Later on, there have been several shots where he's shown hanging out with Julio, who's gay, though the exact nature of their relationship to each other isn't known.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: They started out fairly interchangeable. Over time, Kearny has been established as having an infant son (to emphasize how many times he's been held back), while Jimbo has a softer side (along with religious and feminist tendencies) and good home life. Dolph, on the other hand, hasn't gotten much development.

* SuddenNameChange: Some other episodes and sources gave her different last names, including Hagstrom, Henderson, and Jackson. "Tapped Out'' {{handwave}}s this by saying that her father was wanted for counterfeiting and the different names are presumably different aliases.

* ApatheticTeacher: Like any long time teacher.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He rarely shows interest in women while being incredibly effeminate. He's said to have had a crush on Mrs. Hoover in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E19LisasWedding "Lisa's Wedding"]]. In [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E10TheresSomethingAboutMarrying "There's Something About Marrying"]] Nelson assumes he's gay but he says he's "not anything yet", and in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS23E4ReplaceableYou "Replacable You"]] he fantasizes about becoming an athlete and gaining the attention of both female and male cheerleaders (but is clearly more interested in the male).

* UnfazedEveryman: Bill Oakley's description of Chalmers' attitude towards the insanity of Springfield (Aware it exists, but trying not to think about it too hard) gives him hints of this.

* TheLostLenore: It's revealed in "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts" that his wife passed away.

* VocalEvolution: Harry Shearer voiced Pryor in a rather high-pitched nasal tone closer to his Mr Burns voice in his first three appearances. Starting with "Lisa's Sax", he talks in a baritone almost identical to his voice for Dr. Hibbert.

* ButtMonkey: A pathetic mama's boy who is usually easily outsmarted by Bart.

** In "Ae Bonny Romance", Willie reunites with his long-lost girlfriend Maisie Macweldon and are finally engaged to be married, but they are both unaware that the latter's family are plotting to use Willie to sniff out good peat to increase their business and then marry Maisie off to someone more respectable.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He "carpools" with Smithers among other thing. In season 22's "Flaming Moe", he had a boyfriend, removing any ambiguity.
