Elizabeth

— "Myth of Nick"

* Normal palette
* Free Stewy

**Elizabeth** (Incidental 015) is a character in the cartoon *Wayside*. She does not appear in the books. She is one of the many students in Mrs. Jewls's class.

## Appearance

She is a girl with a round head and green hair that extends behind her head. She has round eyes with eyelashes, a small, pointy nose, and freckles. She wears a short-sleeved shirt with purple and pink stripes and a purple skirt. She wears pink shoes and no socks. In the episode "Free Stewy," she has brown hair instead.

## Personality

Little can be inferred about Elizabeth's personality, as she is typically reserved to the background, and she is only given minor bit parts in two episodes. In "Daring Love," she spreads the rumor of Todd and Jenny's love to Shari after hearing it from Dana, while in "Myth of Nick" she is seen talking with another unnamed student about a great Nick story she has lately heard. From this it can be inferred that this character is somewhat social, actively participating in stories and rumors passed around by other students at Wayside School. Aside from this, nothing about the character is known.

## Identity

The most notable factor about Elizabeth is that, for a long time, she was the only student in Mrs. Jewls's class whose identity was never confirmed. If she was meant to represent a student from the books, she would have to be Deedee, Allison, Joy, Kathy, or Sue, as everyone other girl who appears in the books has had their identity confirmed. On November 28th, 2017, CompliensCreator00, the owner of the Wayside School Wiki, contacted John Derevlany in an attempt to discover this character's identity. However, his response did not turn up any answers.

*Hi Jasmine,*

*Thanks so much for running the Wayside School Wiki and checking up on this.*

*I'm not sure if that girl has a name. Does she EVER say anything in any of the shows (that you're aware of)? If I know her dialogue line, I could look her up in the scripts. But off the top of my head, I'm not sure who that is. We compressed a LOT of the characters from the books, so it's possible she's an amalgam of several characters (it was just too much to have 30 kids in a single classroom for animation, layout, and various production reasons).*

*Or... did she do anything interesting in any of the episodes? Did she just background all the time? It's very possible that she's just an anonymous background character that the director created and put in there. He sometimes did stuff that I wasn't aware of until I saw the final show, so if that's the case, I may not have an answer for you.*

*Let me know if you have any details about her activities.*

*Thanks!*

*John D.*

While CompliensCreator00 was able to present her single quote in "Myth of Nick," John Derevlany checked the scripts, and revealed her line was not present in the script's latest draft. The most likely explanation John Derevlany could give is that she was designed as a generic background character; not meant to have a given name or identity, and mostly existing to fill space.

*I think she might just be an "extra" character. Part of the background crowd. I checked that script, and that dialogue line you referenced isn't in there -- it must've been added by the director or storyboard artist. I don't think she has a name. There were a number of "generic" students that just filled in the background spaces. Sometimes, I'd just write "Students" as a character name, and they'd give those lines to whoever was standing around -- like that girl. (But I still don't see that line in my script.)*

*Anyway, I've attached the latest version of the script if you are interested.*

*Sorry I don't have a more conclusive answer.*

*John D.*

Later, on December 31st, 2017, storyboard artist Nick Cross was contacted to see if he was aware of this student's identity, but he claims that since he hasn't worked on the show for so long, he can't quite remember.

While those were the only two people who worked on *Wayside* to be contacted, eventually, a more concrete answer for her identity appeared on the official Keep It Weird! ￼ YouTube channel in late June of 2019. A post asking about everyone's favorite character listed a number of recognized names, such as Todd, Myron, Maurecia, Jenny, Joe, Stephen, Mr. Kidswatter, and Miss Mush, alongside the name of Elizabeth, a character who had never been identified before. While it is possible that Elizabeth could be the name of some other incidental character, it is most likely this one, as she appears in Mrs. Jewls's class. As such, the wiki has chosen to assign this name to this character.
