Jennifer Honey

Miss Jennifer "Jen" Honey is the deuteragonist of Roald Dahl's Matilda. She is Matilda Wormwood's school teacher and later, legal guardian.
Unlike the school principal, Agatha Trunchbull (who is her maternal aunt), she is a selfless, innocent, nice woman. She has a dark secret, but she doesn't intend to let it interfere with her teaching, although she accidentally does in the climax.
Prior to the events of the story, according to a flashback, her mother died when she was 2, and her father, a doctor, died when she was 5.
Since her father's death, Jen was abused by her aunt, and the latter took away what she had and made sure she couldn't even sneak a chocolate. Throughout the movie, Jen may be innocent but she's not afraid to speak her mind, like when she tells off Harry and Zinnia and stands up to Agatha and helps Matilda and her class run her wicked aunt off for good at the end of the film.
