Ms. Frizzle

Professor Frizzle has frizzy red hair pulled into an unkempt bun. In the original series and books, she often wears an intricate dress that ties in with the day's lesson by book. The pictures on her dresses often move or glow, thus prompting Keesha to ask "Where does she get her clothes?" Often when she talks, or when she gets that "twinkle in her eye", her earrings glow, signaling the idea of the start of a new field trip. When she snaps her fingers, says certain phrases, or wears something related to the day’s topic, this usually signifies that she’s about to take the kids on a field trip to go more in-depth on what they’re learning. She also has green eyes and is rarely seen without a smile on her face.

Ms. Frizzle is a bit mysterious, and she often takes the children on strange field trips on the Magic School Bus, which sometimes result in her accidentally activating a source of magic on the Bus, which was going to go on a normal field trip (Inside a Beehive), or by The Bus automatically driving itself to the destination (At the Waterworks, Lost in the Solar System). She can pour the Bus's power into other modes of transportation, such as a cardboard school bus (And the Science Fair Expedition). Despite her zany ways and mysterious addiction to teaching and learning, she's always happy and supportive, like a normal teacher.

She is “magical”, reliable, friendly, sweet, intelligent, eccentric, somewhat strange, fearless, calm, patient, gentle, selfless, optimistic, caring, happy, funny, benevolent, kind-hearted, resourceful, happy-go-lucky, a bit mysterious, supportive, passionate, cheerful, loving, motherly, beautiful, adventurous, athletic, knowledgeable, protective, a great driver, and the owner of a pet Chameleon named "Liz".

"Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!" is her main motto. She also used to be a Shakespearean actor. She also has multiple degrees. An MSc (Master of Science), EdD (Doctorate of Education), and a PhD (Doctorate of Philosophy)..
