Spinelli,

Name: Spinelli Ashley Funicello Spinelli, usually referred to as just Spinelli, is the tomboyish substitute ringleader of the Recess Gang in Recess. She goes by her surname because she does not want to be a member of the Ashleys. Spinelli is Italian-American. he is interested in wrestling and is known as the toughest kid on the playground. She is rebellious, obstinate, and frequently uses violence or threats when something is troubling her. However, she appears to have a soft side, such as stopping herself from clobbering Randall J. Weems with a dirt clod to get a kitten out of a tree (which she gently talks to get it to come to her) which turns out to be Miss Finster's cat. T.J. also mentions that even though she is tough, she will stand up for any kid on the playground who needs help. She hates talking about her parents because they embarrass her. Spinelli's parents are unsuccessful for telling her friends about her feelings or showing them her childhood photos. She is also planning to keep up with the latest trend, as revealed in "Schoolworld", when she says she likes the SAL 3000 for being new, and in "Weekend at Muriel's", when Miss Finster, having turned, on the car radio on the way to the latter's house, explains that "everyone likes the oldies", and Spinelli says, "Actually, I like the newies." She is implied to have a crush on T.J. Detweiler, even being mentioned by her mother at Parents Night. She is the most aggressive and baddest kid of the gang. The other members of the Recess Gang are not exempted from this kind of treatment from Spinelli. Spinelli is short in size and thin in weight, and before Gus’ arrival, she was the shortest of the main group and the second. She appears to be tomboyish with a petite slender model with medium-length black hair and almond-shaped black eyes with full lips and a tan skin color. Her outfit consists of an orange beanie on her head; her hair is styled up in pigtails on either side each held by a small red scrunchie. She wears an unzipped black leather biker jacket over a short-sleeved red dress with a round neckline, red-and-orange striped tights and a pair of oversized black rubber biker boots with buckles on them and explained that were hand-me-downs from her older brother.
