Samantha Stankey

Samantha Stankey is a young girl who goes to Springfield Elementary School, where she is a new student at school.
==History==
She first fell in love with Milhouse on the schoolyard after she accidentally hit him with a ball. After Milhouse invites Samantha to Bart's treehouse, they spend a great deal of time together kissing, making Bart feel left out in the process.
The following day, when Samantha and Milhouse are in the treehouse and are about to kiss, her father shows up and catches the both of them together (due to Bart telling him about their romance). Samantha's father grabs her out of the treehouse and asks her what is going on. Before she can explain the whole story, her father berates her and orders her never to see Milhouse again. Because of this, her father takes her out of Springfield Elementary and transfers her to Saint Sebastian's School for Wicked Girls, a convent school run by French-Canadian nuns.
A few days later, Bart and Milhouse visit Samantha at her new school during recess. Milhouse gives her a gallon of gummy worms, while Bart apologizes for telling her father about their romance but she forgave Bart because she loves the school and the nuns are really nice. As recess ends, Samantha shares one last kiss with Milhouse before going back inside, while knowing that she may receive a punishment of 50 rosaries for doing so.Bart's Friend Falls in Love
==Appearance==
Samantha has long wavy light brown hair and wears braces in her teeth. In her debut appearance, she wore a lavender blouse, a pink dress, white socks, and pink Mary Janes. In later appearances, her pink clothes changed to sea green.
==Additional Information==
