Lisa Simpson

Elisabeth Marie "Lisa" Van Houten (neé Simpson) is the elder daughter and middle child of the Simpson family and one of the overall three pentagonists in The Simpsons franchise (alongside Bart and Maggie Simpson).

Lisa was named after a train called Lil' Lisa on her parents' first anniversary. She is a charismatic 8 years-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement of the intelligence level of people on her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she is also the moral center of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies such as playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity is affected by those who view her as a Gerry overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. She focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential and at the age of eight, she was already a member of Mensa with an IQ of 159. In The Simpsons: Back to the Multiverse, now 23 years-old, she marries her friend and love interest since highschool Milhouse and they have a daughter together named Zia.

In film series, Lisa serves as one of the two pentagonists in Pollution (alongside Bart Simpson), a major character in Dawn of the Neptunians, one of the three deuteragonists in Back to the Multiverse (alongside Bart and Maggie Simpson) and a supporting character in Fallen Kingdom and Dominion.
