The Simpsons: Springfield Animals Characters

* Homer Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) - He is a bunny and the father of the Simpson family. He is overweight, lazy, and ignorant, but also strongly devoted to his wife and children. He works as a low level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, in Sector 7G, although he's often incompetent, mostly sleeps on duty and eats the donuts provided. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his lifelong friends Barney, Carl, Lenny, and bartender Moe Szyslak. At home he can often be found sitting on the sofa mindlessly watching TV while snacking on food and drinking Duff beer.
* Marge Simpson (voiced by Julie Kavner) - She is a bunny and the happy homemaker and full-time mom of the Simpson family. With her husband Homer, she has three children: Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson. Marge is the moralistic force in her family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the Simpson household. Aside from her duties at home, Marge flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist.
* Bart Simpson (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) - He is the mischievous, rebellious, misunderstood, and "potentially dangerous" eldest child of Homer and Marge Simpson, and the brother of Lisa and Maggie Simpson.
* Lisa Simpson (voiced by Yeardley Smith) - He is a 8-year-old bunny. She is a charismatic 8-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she's also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies like playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity's affected by those who view her as a geeky overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. Lisa Simpson's a smart, witty, independent girl who focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential, and at age 8 she's already a member of MENSA with an IQ of 159.
* Maggie Simpson (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) - She is a 1-year-old bunny and the youngest child of Marge and Homer, and sister to Bart and Lisa. She is almost always seen sucking on her pacifier and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she cannot walk or talk, Maggie is the least seen in the Simpson family.
* Abraham Simpson (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) - He is an elderly Mountain Gorilla. Simply know as Grampa, he is the patriarch of the Simpson family, the father of Homer Simpson and the grandfather of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie Simpson. Abe is a World War II veteran later sent to the Springfield Retirement Castle by Homer. He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.
* Selma Bouvier (voiced by Julie Kavner) - She is a East African Bush Elephant and one of Marge Simpson's older chain-smoking twin sisters, who works at the DMV and possess a strong dislike for her brother-in-law, Homer Simpson.
* Patty Bouvier (voiced by Julie Kavner) - She is a North American Cougar and the younger of Marge's cynical chain-smoking twin sisters, who works at the Springfield Department of Motor Vehicles or (DMV). Like her twin Selma, she has a strong dislike for Homer Simpson.
* Moe Szyslak (voiced by Hank Azaria) - He is a Cane Toad and the proprietor and bartender of "Moe's Tavern", a Springfield bar frequented visited by Homer Simpson, Barney Gumble, Lenny Leonard, and Carl Carlson.
* Ned Flanders (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Holstein Bull and the Simpson family's extremely religious next door neighbor and landlord. He is a genuinely well-meaning good-natured person and is one of the few in Springfield to whom that description applies. Though firmly religious, he can be timid and something of a pushover. He thoroughly worships God and strictly follows the Bible as literally as possible and is easily shocked when challenged on any point of dogma.
* Principal Seymour Skinner (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Red Kangaroo and the principal of Springfield Elementary School, and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, Bart Simpson being a standout example. A strict disciplinarian, Skinner has an uptight, militaristic attitude that stems from his years in the United States Army as a Green Beret, which included service in the Vietnam War, where he achieved the rank of a sergeant, according to his rank insignia.
* Agnes Skinner (voiced by Tress MacNeille) - She is a Red Kangaroo and the strict and bitter mother of Seymour Skinner. She is very harshly controlling of Seymour, and treats him like a mother would treat a small child, once grounding him because he did not say who was at the door after answering it. She hates Seymour's choice in women, especially Edna Krabappel.
* Milhouse Van Houten (voiced by Pamela Hayden) - He is a Garden Snail and Bart Simpson's best friend. As the only child of Kirk and Luann Van Houten, Milhouse's most distinctive physical traits are his extreme nearsightedness (depicted by very small eyes), requiring thick glasses to correct, and a bulbous potato-shaped nose. Milhouse has his mother's coloring (blue hair) but not her vivacity or confidence, and shares his father's generally milquetoast and defeated demeanor, although Milhouse sometimes gets cocky and overconfident, raising his eyebrows lasciviously, usually while trying to woo Lisa.
* Nelson Muntz (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) - He is a Northwestern Wolf and a bully at Springfield Elementary School.
* Martin Prince, Jr. (voiced by Grey DeLisle) - He is a Cheviot Sheep and Bart Simpson's classmate, and is Lisa Simpson's rival in intelligence. He is Nelson Muntz's favorite target for bullying, aside from Milhouse. He is an academically brilliant teacher's pet, and is a stereotypical nerd. Martin is a 4th grade student at Springfield Elementary School.
* Carl Carlson (voiced by Hank Azaria) - He is a Nine-banded Armadillo who works in the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Along with Lenny Leonard, Carl is not just Homer's co-worker (sometimes identified as Homer's supervisor) at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer has been one of his best friends since childhood, on par with Lenny and behind Barney Gumble, and likes to call himself "an urban Lenny". He also attended Springfield A&M University.
* Lenny Leonard (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Great White Pelican and the best friend of Carl Carlson and, along with Carl, second best friend of Homer Simpson, behind Barney Gumble. He works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and possesses a master's degree in nuclear physics, but he is portrayed as a simple, often naive, blue-collar working man.
* Barney Gumble (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) - He is a Southern Warthog and the Springfield town drunk, the most prominent of several alcoholic Springfielders and Homer Simpson's best friend. He is also friends with Carl, Lenny Leonard, Moe Szyslak, Dr. Hibbert, Apu and Rev. Lovejoy (sometimes).

* Greta Wolfcastle (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) - She is a Domestic Rabbit and the daughter of famous actor Rainier Wolfcastle.
* Charles Montgomery Burns (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Turkey Vulture and the owner and operator of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Mr. Burns frequently orders his aide, Waylon Smithers, Jr., to "release the hounds," so as to let his vicious guard dogs attack any intruders, enemies or even invited guests. Mr. Burns is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billion-dollar range, although at one point it slipped to "only" $996 million, which led to his being demoted from Billionaire Camp to Millionaire Camp. Burns uses his power and wealth to do whatever he wants, usually without regard for consequences and without interference from the authorities. His fortune was once estimated to be $3 billion.
* Waylon Smithers, Jr. (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Greater Flamingo and Mr. Burns' personal assistant, executive, and self-proclaimed best friend. He is openly gay as he came out, but due to how poorly he hid his sexuality most people knew that beforehand.
* Krusty the Clown - He is a Masai Lion and the cynical, burnt out, addiction-riddled smoking clown host of Bart and Lisa's favorite TV show, *The Krusty the Clown Show*.
* Edna Krabappel (voiced by Pamela Hayden) - She is a Spotted Hyena and a 4th Grade teacher at Springfield Elementary School. Before Edna was married she lived at 82 Evergreen Terrace and before passing away, she lived at 744 Evergreen Terrace.
* Superintendent Gary Chalmers (voiced by Hank Azaria) - He is a Grizzly Bear and the superintendent of Springfield's school district.
* Groundskeeper Willie (voiced by Dan Castellaneta) - He is a Bornean Orangutan and the groundskeeper and janitor of Springfield Elementary School. Scottish by ancestry, Willie's job is to supervise the children of the School during recess, and clean the halls. He is recognizable with his red hair and thick Scottish accent. He is often either a formidable enemy or an invaluable ally to Bart and Lisa.
* Julius Hibbert (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Eastern Black Rhinoceros and Springfield's most prominent and competent doctor, though he sometimes makes no effort to hide or makes light of his high prices. Hibbert is very good-natured, and is known for finding a reason to laugh at nearly every situation, often inappropriately. He and his family live next to Clancy Wiggum's house.
* Rod Flanders (voiced by Pamela Hayden) - He is an Emperor Penguin Chick and the elder son of Ned Flanders and Maude Flanders. Rod often prays, first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed. He prays for God to watch over him and his little brother, Todd. He prays for the success of his father's business. He also prays for all of the naughty little boys and girls (like Bart), who are too bad to pray for themselves. Aside from praying, Rod enjoys playing wholesomely with Todd and eating lots of "Nachos, Flanders-Style" (cucumbers with cottage cheese).His one regret is that he can't pray at school.
* Todd Flanders (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) - He is an Emperor Penguin Chick and Ned's 8-year-old son. He is the most impressionable and youngest member of the Flanders family.
* Jasper Beardsley (voiced by Harry Shearer) - He is a Saanen Goat and a resident of the Springfield Retirement Castle, and is often seen around Springfield and is a friend of Abraham Simpson.
* Clancy Wiggum (voiced by Hank Azaria) - He is a American Yorkshire Pig and the chief of police of the Springfield Police Department. He is an extreme stereotype: morbidly obese, extremely stupid, ignorant, incompetent, and really lazy, with a fondness for doughnuts and Chintzy-Pop. While he pretentiously feigns authority, he has little regard for individual rights or even public safety. He is disturbingly uninformed and flaunts his power, albeit with good intentions most of the time. He is part Irish. He, along with the rest of Springfield's government and Springfield police force, is also corrupt, having asked for or taken bribes several times. An example of this is he can skip any crime if he is bribed, like being notably solicited Troy McClure and Homer Simpson for bribes in exchange for "looking the other way" to their criminal activities. When Bart bribed him with stolen wedding presents, he told him to read his badge and, at the bottom of the badge, was the caption "Cash Bribes only". He has a strained friendship with Mayor Quimby, as the two men vie to have control over the city, which once lead to a serious argument in regards of who takes over during an emergency on the Monorail crisis. Wiggum claims to have compromising photographs of the mayor (the mayor once told Wiggum "You don't scare me; that could be anyone's ass!"), which may help to explain why he has retained his job despite his inability to do anything his duties requires of him. He is often assisted by his more intelligent (but still quite lazy and often rather cocky) "top cops" Eddieand Lou. He is completely ignorant of Springfield's laws and often quotes sayings from the police handbook which cannot actually be found in the book ("like the book says, if you can't beat them, join them"). According to The Bart Book, Clancy is also in the SPD Bomb Sqaud, which is in fact just HIM in a hockey mask.
* Sarah Wiggum (voiced by Pamela Hayden) - She is a American Yorkshire Pig and the soft wife of Clancy and mother of Ralph.
* Ralph Wiggum (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) - He is a American Yorkshire Piglet and a student who attends Springfield Elementary School. He is best known as the town's resident oddball, and has been immortalized for his non sequiturs and erratic behavior. His lines range from purely nonsensical, or bizarre interpretations of a current event, to surprisingly profound statements that go over people's heads. For this, Ralph is somewhat of an outcast among his peers, although he seems to be on good terms with a fair number of the other kids at school such as Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, and Milhouse Van Houten. The son of Police Chief Clancy and Sarah Wiggum, Ralph is rarely picked on or bullied due to his unscrupulous father's position.
* Apu Nahasapeemapetilon (voiced by Hank Azaria) - He is a Virginia Opossum and the proprietor of the Kwik-E-Mart, the local convenience store and good friends with Homer Simpson.
