Marge Simpson

Personality

Marge is a foil to her reckless and impulsive husband. Nevertheless, she is a good wife to Homer and a caring mother to her children. Having high morals and a tendency to be a 'wet blanket' as Homer puts it. She dislikes and tries to avoid taking any sort of risk, can be fearful of new things and set her life to a routine to the point she actually wore a groove into the carpet going from the kitchen to the bedroom and the basement from her constant housework. She tends to consider anything that isn't completely plain to be amazing or exotic, even if they're not all that special. Such as deviled ham opposed to normal ham and buttered noodles opposed to unbuttered noodles. She has also been depicted as a killjoy and attempt to stop things other characters otherwise find fun. She always believes she has a good reason for doing so even if it's only her who has a problem. She once Itchy and Scratchy banned because Maggie injured Homer after imitating a scene from the cartoon. She tried to demolish a burlesque house even though it hurt no one and no one else wanted it destroyed, and she outright says if something isn't to her taste, no one else should be allowed to enjoy it. Homer sums up his wife when he tells her: "If it was up to [Marge], all we'd ever do is work and go to church."

Physical Appearance

Marge has tall blue hair in a tall beehive hairstyle and usually wears a tube-style green dress, orange flats, and a red pearl necklace. The pearl necklace is a Bouvier family heirloom and she is seen to have a big drawer full of them. Lisa also wears a pearl necklace, but with white pearls. Doctor Hibbert revealed she has webbed feet. She remarked she used to have a "perfect" figure

Hair

Marge's hair

As a teen, Marge had waist length hair she always wore down, but got the idea to wear it in her trademark beehive for senior prom; This is sometimes contradicted by recent flashbacks showing Marge as a child, where she is portrayed with her hair worn tall. Her hair is thick enough for her to keep objects like the family savings in it. Her hair is once shown close to her knees, consistent with the logic a lot of hair would be needed to create her tall beehive. It was revealed by Homer Marge dyes her hair with blue dye #56, stating "She's been gray as a mule since she was seventeen." Because of her unusually large hairstyle, her height is reported to be 8'6", as noted by Apu. Her hair was blue before she met Homer and was brunette at one time due to Marge ironing a piece of her hair for a long time.

Talents

Marge is a very talented painter. When she was a teenager she had an intense crush on Ringo Starr and painted a large number of portraits of him. She also wrote to him, but only received a reply 25 years later. After Homer discovered her old paintings, Lisa encouraged Marge to enroll in an art contest where her portrait of a drunk Homer asleep on the couch won a local art competition. She was hired by Mr. Burns to do a portrait of him. After many attempts, she almost gave up until a belated response from Ringo Starr, (stating she had talent), inspired her to continue. The resulting portrait won even Mr. Burns' praise, a massive feat in itself, and was placed at the Springfield Art Museums Burn's Wing.

Marge is also a very talented cook. She once bought a pretzel business, which flourished with the aid of the mafia. She entered various cooking challenges, although circumstances such as vengeful competitors and overheated ovens cause her to lose and once, sabotage other competitors. Marge says she feeds the family on twelve dollars a week, using sawdust to pad Homer's food. Generally she is regarded as a very good cook, despite the unusual fact she knows of fewer than eight spices and apparently constructs very bad ice cream sundaes. She is especially renowned for her pork chops, Homer's favorite dish. She once worked in Au Naturel, an erotic bakery in Springfield.
