15* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Aldrin occasionally views her as one, whenever he's minding his own business and not going out of his way to pick on her.
16* AntiHero: She can be quite a NominalHero in fact. While she's the protagonist and often saves the day, more often than not there's some selfish motive.
17* AttentionWhore: Desperately wants steal the spotlight and be noticed by the world.
18* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Her two younger siblings often act as a nuisance to her and she isn't afraid to express her disdain for them, but deep down she really cares for them and has gone out of her way to support them numerous times.
19* BadassAdorable: She defeats the giant, killer raccoon terrorizing Stickyfeet in the climax of "Racooooon!"
20* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: Dresses up scandalously at school to swoon her tutor Troy in "Hot for Tutor".
21* BigSisterInstinct: She ''does'' care about Pupert and Bella despite the trouble the two cause her and will always go out of her way to help them.
22* {{Blackmail}}: Maggie sometimes uses this as a method of manipulation.
23* BookDumb: Not so good in the art of academics, yet clever and manipulative.
24* BornUnlucky: She has to live with overprotective parents who don't regularly let her have any fun, has two annoying younger siblings and a BigBrotherBully to deal with, attends an unfair and strict school, is frequently harassed by Dawn for simply being less popular than her, and is a frequent victim of YankTheDogsChain.
25* BrattyHalfPint: Often whines about her parents not letting her do what she wants despite their justification and authority. She'll also sometimes use PuppyDogEyes to persuade them.
26* BrilliantButLazy: She's not as stupid as her logic would make you think; she's just too lazy and unmotivated to pay attention in school.
27* BrokenAesop: Delivers one at the end of "The Candidate", where she says that people shouldn't be judged based on their appearance, yet Maria would not have had a boyfriend if it weren't for her makeover, plus she doesn't revert to her original appearance in later episodes.
28* BuffySpeak: She typically adds 'tacious' at the end of words to make new ones.
29* ButtMonkey: A lot of episodes have Maggie suffer some form of bad luck, be it annoyance at the hands of her younger siblings, bullying from the local AlphaBitch or her older brother, or overprotectiveness from her parents.
30* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Any time Maggie finds a loophole around authority, karma will always come back to hit her in the face at the end of the episode.
31%%zce* CatchPhrase: "Fantascious!"
32* TheChewToy: When considering her LoserProtagonist and ButtMonkey statuses, she's bound to be subject to slapstick comedy for the audience's amusement at one point or another.
33* ChildPopstar: Many of her fantasies portray her as a famous singer at just a tween.
34* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The theme song describes her as being strange because "that's just the way [she is]."
35* CoolBigSis: Can be one when she drops her selfishness, most notably to Pupert in "Pieface", where she stands up for him after he delivers a brutal speech about society's ignorance of children's [[KidHasAPoint morality]].
36* ComicallyMissingThePoint: She does this a lot.
37** There's this exchange between her and Rayna in "The Flyinator":
38-->'''Rayna:''' Didn't your parents say you were too young to see ''The Flyinator''?
39-->'''Maggie:''' Yes, but they said I could see it when I'm older, and technically I am older now than I was when they said that.
40** And this one between her parents in "Slumber Party":
41-->'''Chauncey:''' Having a slumber party while we're away is just not a good idea.
42-->'''Maggie:''' You're right! It's not a good idea; it's a ''great'' idea!
43* CosmicPlaything: The world seems to dedicate its time to making Maggie suffer in various ways.
44* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite her general ignorance, she at times ''can'' be quite heroic.
45* DeadpanSnarker: She has the occasional delivery of sarcasm.
46* DeliberatelyCuteChild: Ocassionally, Maggie will pull off PuppyDogEyes and a cutesy voice in pursuit of her way.
47* EasilyEmbarrassedYoungster: She tends to get embarrassed by her overly affectionate and overprotective parents, or whenever bad luck seeks her generally.
48* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite being a fly and thus having a fondness for disgusting things, she hesitates to massage a patient's nasty feet in "Honey Stripers".
49* {{Fangirl}}: Of the Flaming Moths. She bought a portrait of the band in "Bella Con Carne".
50%% * FriendOrIdolDecision: Goes through this many times throughout the show.
51* {{Gasshole}}: Has a tendency to burp loudly.
52* GeniusDitz: She has a frequency to [[ComicallyMissingThePoint comically miss the point]] and isn't very knowledgeable in school subjects, yet seems to be clever when it comes to utilizing the methods of manipulation and loopholes, even if her attempts backfire on her.
53* GenkiGirl: She's a very energetic, hyperactive, cute fly girl.
54* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's into music, fashion, shopping, and hanging with her "gal pals" like most other girls her age. However, she's also into heavy metal, [[DependingOnTheWriter sometimes]] eats like a pig, [[{{Gasshole}} belches loudly]], and shows extreme aversion to the "[[AlphaBitch stuck-up, rich bitch]]" form of femininity exhibited by [[GirlPosse Dawn and her lackeys]].
55* HeroicSacrifice: In "The Usual Insects," she risks her permanent record to ensure that everyone else can go on the trip. Unfortunately, Maggie gets landed in detention as well.
56* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Rayna, her go-to girl with whom she always hangs.
57* HighSchoolHustler: Maggie can exhibit clever methods when it comes to outfoxing authority figures at her school.
58* HumanlikeFootAnatomy: She is shown to have human-like feet when Maria Monarch takes off her one of her boots in "The Candidate" to reveal the sole of her left foot, save for the fact that she has four toes instead of five, but it is a cartoon after all. {{Averted}} when she is shown barefoot in "Hooligans" and "Club Hopping", as her feet are shown to be more insect-like.
59* IdiotHero: Maggie zig-zags between being [[TheHero the one to save the day]] or completely neglecting the trouble her family and friends are in to achieve her goals. Nevertheless, she's still TheProtagonist.
60* InstantCostumeChange: Seems to be capable of doing this by simply spinning around.
61* ItsAllAboutMe: She can be quite bratty and self-entitled.
62* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her manipulative and selfish ways aside, Maggie is a NiceGirl at heart and knows very well that her family, friends, and their well-being come before her wants. A good example of this is shown in "Bella Con Carny", where she gives up a beloved portrait of the Flaming Moths to save Bella.
63* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Near the end of [[DependingOnTheWriter some]] episodes, Maggie's JerkWithAHeartOfGold status is usually downplayed in that there was a selfish motive behind her kindness.
64** At the end of "Raccoooon!", Maggie still cares about her room missing despite that she saved her family ''and'' the whole town of Stickyfeet from a killer raccoon.
65** At the end of "Training Places", despite having learned her lesson, Maggie belittles it and still wants the scooter.
66* KarmicButtMonkey: Zig-zagged. Sometimes, the misfortunate she suffers is [[LaserGuidedKarma cosmic retribution]] for her [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative]] actions. Other times, she gets a raw deal even when has done nothing to deserve it.
67* KarmaHoudini:
68** Maggie doesn't receive any comeuppance for abandoning Bella in "Bella Con Carny". Justified, though, as her parents didn't know that she, Aldrin, and Pupert had taken off to the carnival while they were gone, and returned home before they did to make it look like everything went normal.
69** PlayedWith in "Bugtillion", as she doesn't get punished for planning a scheme with Rayna to sabotage Dawn's moment in the spotlight by spilling a bucket of barf on her, but Dawn kind of deserved it for being a jerk to Rayna earlier in the episode and mocking her attempts to join her alliance. Plus, Maggie's mother is usually too much of an ExtremeDoormat to punish her kids and admired her daughter's attempt to stand up for a friend.[[note]]And her dad is out of the question, as he is not seen nor mentioned in the episode.[[/note]]
70* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: In "The Flyinator", Maggie and Rayna go to see the eponymous horror film. Although Maggie plays it cool at first, she starts to hallucinate all of the film's characters until she confesses to her parents that she saw the movie despite them telling her not to. They don't ground her because they think that the trauma she suffered from the movie was enough punishment.
71* LaserGuidedKarma: Maggie usually gets well-deserved revenge at the end of some episodes as a consequence for being a selfish jerk and putting off priorities in favor of fame.
72* LittleMissBadass: She kicks some serious raccoon ass in the episode where the killer raccoon comes to destroy Stickyfeet.
73* LittleMissSnarker: Maggie is a tween fly with a propensity to use sarcasm if her way is not handed over to her.
74* LoopholeAbuse: She cuts corners to achieve her goals and tries to sabotage the "boring" lifestyle that her school and "embarrassing" family brings her.
75* LoserProtagonist: She has a bad reputation amongst her school and is a frequent victim of Dawn's [[AlphaBitch alpha-bitchy]] bullying, in addition to having [[CosmicPlaything horrendous luck]].
76* ManipulativeBitch: Sometimes she'll go to great lengths to manipulate others if it gets her what she wants.
77* MisplacedRetribution: Gets blamed for Aldrin's "injuries"[[note]]it turns out in the end that he was PlayingSick the whole time[[/note]] in "Training Places" when it wasn't her fault.
78* NaiveEverygirl: The unlucky LoserProtagonist who's frequently targeted by the more pubescent AlphaBitch.
79* NeatFreak: She's so obsessed with keeping her room in good condition in "Raccoooon!" that just one drop of Pupert's ice cream on the carpet is enough to ruin it, so she stretches her tongue out on the floor and makes sure the drop lands on her tongue, eventually kicking Pupert out of the room by blowing her vacuum cleaner in his direction.
80* ObsessivelyOrganized: She overreacts to ''just one drop'' of Pupert's ice cream dripping on her rug in her newly organized room and drops down and stretches her tongue out to prevent the ice cream from getting on the floor. Also, her room after being organized looks the same as before it was organized, implying that an extremely specific change had to be made.
81* OlderThanTheyLook: She's somewhere in her early adolescent years, yet her lack of breast development doesn't make that clear, and compared to the other girls at her school like Dawn, she's noticeably shorter in height.
82* PinkMeansFeminine: Has pink hair, wears pink socks and partially pink boots, and is pretty feminine.
83* PrecociousCrush: Along with Rayna, she develops a crush on her tutor Troy in "Hot for Tutor" and goes to great lengths to show him that she is mature and intelligent enough to go on a date with him.
84* PunnyName: It can be assumed that "Maggie" is short for 'maggot', which all flies start out as following birth.
85* PuppyDogEyes: A method she uses for persuasion.
86* TheSlacker: Maggie is very lazy when it comes to school and is willing to cheat and procrastinate to avoid hard work.
87* SmallNameBigEgo: Prone to thinking that she has priority over everyone else.
88* SpoiledBrat: Part of her self-entitled nature, Maggie tends to throw a fit whenever her way is not handed over to her.
89* ThisLoserIsYou: She's meant to be relatable to the pre-teen and teenage girl audience in terms of having dreams to become famous that are often sabotaged by school, family, and friends, her overprotective, AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents, her {{annoying younger sibling|}}s, her [[BigBrotherBully asshole older sibling]], her boring, unreasonably strict school, [[MisplacedRetribution getting blamed for others' wrongdoings]], and distancing herself from her embarrassing family in favor of her more sympathetic friends.
90* TomboyishVoice: Courtesy of Creator/JessicaDiCicco, Maggie has a deep, nasally voice.
91* TrueBlueFemininity: She wears a sky blue shirt.
92* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: We're supposed to root for her during her most selfish of moments.
93* VagueAge: Episodes show that she's in middle school and many sources cite her as being a pre-teen without a specific age for reference, yet her flat chest and short height doesn't make that obvious. She could be anywhere from 10-12 or even in her very early teens at age 13, seeing as how "tween" isn't that uncommon to extend to early teenagers.
94* VocalDissonance: She has a deep voice for a pre-teen girl.
95* YankTheDogsChain: Whenever it seems as though Maggie has finally achieved her goals, her ThrowTheDogABone moment is almost always subverted afterward. A good example of this is the episode "Training Day" where she finally receives the scooter she wanted, only for it to be destroyed the following moment.
96* YouthfulFreckles: She's a pre-teen and has three freckles on each cheek.

99[[folder:Chauncey Pesky]]
100[[quoteright:217:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chauncey_pesky_6.png]]
101->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDoyleMurray
102Maggie's father and Frieda's husband.
103----
104* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Maggie often views him and Frieda as such.
105* GoodParents: He loves all of his children and knows what's right for them.
106* NerdGlasses: Sports big, squarish glasses.
107* NiceGuy: He's a well-meaning person and loving father.
108[[/folder]]
109
110[[folder:Frieda Pesky]]
111[[quoteright:222:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frieda_pesky_0.png]]
112->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Tolsky
113->'''Debut:''' "The Flyinator"
114
115Maggie's mother and Chauncey's husband, Frieda is a typical stay-at-home mom who does all the house chores and looks after Bella.
116----
117* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Maggie often views her and Chauncey as such.
118* ExtremeDoormat: Like most housewife characters, she's often very sweet, cheerful, forgiving to abuse and her children's antics, and reluctant to punish them. This is especially shown in "Bugtillion", where she refuses to discipline Maggie despite initiating a plan with Rayna to embarrass and torment her during her moment in the spotlight, on grounds that Maggie was trying to stand up for her best friend.
119* GoodParents: To the Pesky children. She's a loving mom and cares for all four of her children no matter what. Downplayed, as she can be too much of an ExtremeDoormat to punish them when they deserve it.
120* {{Housewife}}: Her main occupation is being a stay-at-home wife.
121* NiceGirl: Comes with the advantage of being an ExtremeDoormat.

124[[folder:Aldrin Pesky]]
125[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thlezpfe7d.jpg]]
126->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaufman
127->'''Debut:''' "The Flyinator"
128
129Maggie's older brother and the eldest child of the Pesky family, Alrdin is a successful athlete on his school's football team and has a tendency to pick on his younger sister, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther though really does care for her deep down]].
130----
131* TheAce: Oh I don’t know, if you’re the star quarterback and are able to throw a football, only to have the god-like ability to sprint fast enough to catch it yourself at the touchdown line... you’re pretty good to say the least.
132** He actually combines this with JerkJock and BigBrotherBully in his attitude towards younger siblings. He actually cares for [[YoungestChildWins Bella]], the baby of the family. He's the captain of all the high school sports teams, has at least one in-universe fangirl swooning over him at his BurgerFool job, and his teeth sparkle when he smiles. [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] partly when Maggie wants to get a better part-time job than Aldrin (or at least let everyone think she has). Aldrin discovers the ruse and is FURIOUS that she would lie about her accomplishments when he worked very hard to get where he is (a later episode confirms how insanely hard his sports training routines are), but he still offers to recommend Maggie to the manager once she admits she was wrong. Usually, he's too much of an AloofBigBrother to even bother giving advice, possibly because he's TheUnfavorite in their extended family, as Uncle Jeb blatantly favors Maggie (and later Pupert) and only compliments Aldrin when he realizes that gaining muscle mass means Aldrin can do more work.
133* AloofBigBrother: He doesn't have very positive interactions with his younger siblings and is of little help to give them proper advice.
134* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite his teasing and belittling of her, Aldrin really does care about Maggie and vice versa.
135* BigBrotherBully: To Maggie, and to a lesser extent Pupert (though it's not uncommon for Aldrin to side with the latter).
136* BigBrotherInstinct: Aldrin is this to Bella. He becomes really upset when Maggie left her at the carnival in "Bella Con Carny" that "she could be anywhere". Aldrin is also the only sibling who wins his game when the Pesky family competes for the right to keep her. Lastly, she is the only sibling who Aldrin has never picked on.
137* BigBrotherMentor: He occasionally serves as one to Maggie whenever she is stuck in a quandary and needs some advice.
138* ChickMagnet: He has a lot of female fans who go crazy for him, as seen in "Training Days".
139* TheConscience: DependingOnTheWriter, whenever he's not being a boastful {{jerkass}}, he's acting as the voice of reason to Maggie.
140* HeterosexualLifePartners: With George, a member on his football team.
141* JerkassHasAPoint: His case is sometimes understandable, due to Maggie's lack of common sense.
142** In "Le Termite", Aldrin exposes Maggie's lies, getting her in trouble with her boss. When asked why he did it, Aldrin points out that he works hard at his BurgerFool job and earned his family's praise while Maggie lied to make herself look better than him.
143** He also has a point in "Training Day" - Maggie did nothing to earn her scooter, relying on Aldrin's athleticism to net her the prize. (And she belittles his skills as being "easy for him" and implies all he has to do to win is show up and "do his little running thing.") While it was wrong of Aldrin to fake an injury, Maggie had already agreed to do his chores for him anyway and by doing the work she should have more appreciation for Aldrin's efforts. Of course, when Aldrin points out that he did what he did to teach her a lesson, she decides that she doesn't like the lesson, and refuses to learn a thing.
144* JerkJock: He's a muscular guy who's the most popular member of his school's football team, boasts about his achievements, and he likes to bully his younger sister and brother.
145* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He really does care about Maggie, Pupert, and his family in general at the end of the day and his rocky relationship with his two younger siblings is usually playful, harmless teasing that comes with the advantage of being the eldest child.
146* KarmaHoudini: One of his advantages of using Maggie as TheScapegoat. Mr. and Mrs. Pesky are often softer on him than they are on Maggie, even if Aldrin is the one responsible.
147* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: There are times where he ''does'' get what's coming to him.
148* KiddieKid: Can be this at times.
149** At the end of "The Flyinator", he is seen playing with a ''Prancing Princess'' (a toddler-marketed princess film) doll that belongs to Pupert, then fighting over the doll with him at the dinner table.
150** In "Those Pesky Roaches", when Christmas approaches, he abandons striking with Maggie and Pupert and eagerly runs inside to see if Santa came.
151* LaserGuidedKarma: Zig-zagged: Some episodes where he's the main antagonist (e.g. "Funball") will give him a much-deserved comeuppance, while in other episodes (e.g. "Playing Sick"), nothing happens to him at all.
152* {{Narcissist}}: He's very vain and has a high opinion of himself due to being the quarterback on his football team.
153* OnlySaneMan: He tends to act as Maggie's voice of reason whenever he's not outright picking on her.
154* PlayingSick: Aldrin fakes his broken bone injury in "Training Places" to sabotage Maggie's chance at keeping her scooter and to make her do his chores for him.
155* ShoutOut: His name is a reference to Buzz Aldrin, an astronaut.
156* StrongFamilyResemblance: He looks a lot like his dad.
157* TheUnfavorite: "Rottingmuck Ranch" reveals that his uncle views him only as free labor on the farm, and that he has consistently been ignored in favor of his younger, cuter siblings during family vacations there (first Maggie, then Pupert is given the "favorite hat" to signify their status above him). He never even fights this until Maggie starts receiving the same treatment and he helps her rebel. Even then, Maggie takes all the credit for their scheme in order to shove him back into the background. At least he's still a Big Shot on Campus.

163->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ThomAdcoxHernandez
164->'''Debut:''' "The Flyinator"
165
166Maggie's little brother who plays the AnnoyingYoungerSibling role to her and is a typical, innocently naïve child.
167----
168* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Often comes off as this to Maggie due to his naive nature.
169* TheBabyOfTheBunch: One of the advantages of being the younger member of the family; his occasional AttentionWhore and dumbassery moments are excused by his youth and inability to know any better. Not only that, but he's often rewarded and treated as a favorite child by his relatives due to simply being the younger and cuter one.
170* ButtMonkey: From time-to-time, most notably in "Funball", where is used as a basketball by Aldrin.
171* BreakTheCutie: In "Funball". The most painful of torment is inflicted upon him (see ButtMonkey).
172* CheerfulChild: Pupert is a joyful little boy with never-ending happiness.
173* ChildrenAreInnocent: Pupert is a naive child with a lack of wisdom and guilt.
174* TheCutie: Being TheBabyOfTheBunch, his naivete and childish innocence make him to be this.
175* TheDitz: Pupert isn't very wise. In "The Candidate", Dawn wins the homecoming queen award due to Pupert's misleading calculations.
176* {{Keet}}: Of the CheerfulChild variety. He's very energetic and hyperactive.
177* KidHasAPoint: He goes on a long rant in "Pieface" about how adult society often overlooks the morality of children's ideas.
178* NiceGuy: Among the sweetest of the Pesky kids next to Bella.
179* PuppyLove: Falls in love with a fly named Lucy in "The Price of Fame".
180* YellowSashOfPower: Seen when he becomes hall monitor in "Pieface".

187
188Maggie's baby sister who is still a maggot at state, and the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Pesky.
189----
190* ADayInTheLimelight: "Sister Act" and "Bella Con Carny"
191* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Maggie, more-so than Pupert. She causes Maggie's misfortunes in "Bella Con Carny". Justified, as she's just a baby.
192* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Literally, since she's the youngest child of the Peskys, at only a year old.
193* BrainyBaby: "Sister Act" shows her ability to breakdance, ballet, and juggle.
194* TheCutie: What do you expect? She's a baby.
195* LivingProp: Usually only appears to fill in the extra seat at the Pesky family dinner table. Justified, as she's just a baby and has little to say or do.
196* TheUnintelligible: Due to being a baby, she only speaks in "goo"s and "ga"s.

202->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CreeSummer
203->'''Debut:''' "The Flyinator"
204
205Maggie's best friend who appears to be a typical SassyBlackWoman. She's just as much of a GirlyGirl as Maggie is, though is more intelligent and rational than her.
206----
207* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: As with Maggie, she wears revealing clothing to school to swoon her initial tutor in "Hot for Tutor".
208* ChildhoodFriend: She and Maggie have been best friends since kindergarten.
209* DeadpanSnarker: Maggie's stupidity often causes Rayna to sarcastically mock her.
210* {{Deuteragonist}}: The second most important character behind Maggie.
211* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Is shown to have had this in kindergarten in a flashback in "Best of Best Friends".
212* GirlyGirl: She's into music, fashion, shopping, boys etc., just as much as Maggie.
213* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Maggie.
214* {{Hypocrite}}: Always seems to point out flaws in Maggie's plans when her own have them as well.
215* KidsShouldntWatchHorrorFilms: In "The Flyinator", when she and Maggie watch the eponymous film, Rayna gets easily scared within a few seconds and runs out of the theater to see the infantile princess movie that they were deemed too old for.
216* KiddieKid: As a result of being scared off by ''The Flyinator'', Rayna goes into the theater playing ''The Prancing Princess''--a toddler-marketed film--and openly enjoys it, even buying the dolls for the film's characters and singing the ThemeTune with the other kids.
217* NerdGlasses: She wears these.
218* NiceGirl: Typically, despite going along with Maggie's stupidity.
219* NotSoAboveItAll: She switches between this and OnlySaneWoman very often. She tends to oppose Maggie's bad ideas and refuse to listen to her, though will do rebellious, malicious acts if persuaded by her.
220* OnlySaneWoman: She plays this role to Maggie. She tends to be the rational voice of reason and the quickest to point out her bad ideas and call her out for it. {{Downplayed|Trope}}, as she tends to switch between this and NotSoAboveItAll.
221* PrecociousCrush: Along with Maggie, she develops a crush on her initial tutor in the episode "Hot for Tutor" and goes to great lengths to show him that she is mature and intelligent enough to make him go on a date with her.
222* SassyBlackWoman: Can come off as very sassy and cheeky. To be expected from a character voiced by Creator/CreeSummer.
223* TheSmartGirl: "Hot for Tutor" shows her to be very knowledgeable in the art of math, acing her test in contrast to Maggie.
224* StockingFiller: She wears fishnets.
225* TrueBlueFemininity: PlayedWith. Her body is blue all over (sans her arms and legs), though in all fairness that color is supposed to represent African-American culture in the show.

231->'''Debut:''' "The Candidate"
232
233A monarch butterfly who moved to Stickyfeet because her father was tired of the whole "South America-to-North America thing". She was nerdy and unpopular at first, but that changed once Maggie and Rayna gave her a makeover.
234----
235* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Candidate"
236* AllForNothing: She didn't need to have a makeover because taking off her glasses revealed her to be BeautifulAllAlong.
237* BeautifulAllAlong: Even before her makeover she is stunningly beautiful, as shown when she takes off her glasses. Her acne clears up and her hairstyle even changes.

266'''Peststrip:''' Oh, my. ''(clears throat)'' Uh, I need to know if there have been any unauthorized changes to the permanent record of late.\
267'''Dawn:''' ''(sweetly)'' Not that I know of, sir.\
268'''Maggie:''' She's lying! She put those totally untrue things into our records!\

270'''Maggie:''' Sir, Dawn's responsible.\
271'''Peststrip:''' Dawn, is this true?\
272'''Dawn:''' Gosh, I don't know. Maybe you should check my permanent record.\
