Fanon:Mrs.Godfrey

Not much is known about Mrs. Godfrey's childhood, but she was a straight-A student, according to her high school report card, as well as a member of her high school's cross country team.

Adulthood
She started teaching and was known as Clara Lessard before she got married. She's got a cat named Ollie, a dog named Bootsy, and a dog named Genghis. She once had a case of insomnia, which was fixed by a hypnotist, Pedro Ortiz (Teddy Ortiz's Uncle). When she had her first baby, Katrina Godfrey, she went on maternity leave for three months. She later had another child, Meghan Godfrey, although she didn't go on maternity leave. She had also once gone on sabbatical, a work vacation, leaving Mr. Gaffney to substitute for five months. Once, when Principal Nichols was absent for a week, she was the substitute principal for a few weeks.

Physical Appearance
Mrs. Godfrey is somewhere between her 30s and early 40s, as she had two kids. She is tall, has short and dark hair and a semi-oval head. She always wears a purple skirt and a black sweater but wore a loose dress during her pregnancy. She was described as "atomic" by Nate on a photo of her before her marriage to Mr. Godfrey as she looked foxy. At first, Nate didn't realize Ms. Lessard was Mrs. Godfrey before she got married, so he was disgusted when he found out.

Personality
Mrs. Godfrey is a strict, no-nonsense teacher who has no tolerance for disrespect from her students, even if they haven't done anything wrong. This put her on a par with Nate Wright, who had no respect for her. However, she seemed to get along very well with Ellen Wright, and later with Gina Hemphill-Toms and Francis Pope. She has handed out more detentions than the rest of the P.S. 38 teachers combined and has also been seen comparing Ellen and Nate, much to Nate's shame and outrage. However, although she gets along very with, all characters are subject to some attack from Mrs. Godfrey. However, on strip 3/29/19, She surprises the class with a popcorn party instead of a pop quiz. This niceness could have just been because of Nate's Lucky pencil and not her personality change. Another personality change was when Mrs. Godfrey forgot who Nate was. Other than that, she keeps her personality.

Abilities
Mrs. Godfrey has shown to participate in sports, being a good basketball player in Big Nate: Makes the Grade. She may also be an excellent long-distance runner, as she was a member of her high school cross-country team.
