Lunchlady Dora

As the cafeteria chef at Springfield Elementary, she constantly prepares bad food, serving to students near-inedible foodstuff including whole beef hearts, horse testicles, and shredded newspaper. During school cutbacks, she using gym mats as a meat substitute, and other non-edible items.[2] Her unwavering service likely prompted Lisa to identify her as "The Tool of the System" in her list of The 20 Types of People You Meet in Elementary School.[3]

Due to the school's low funding, she also doubles as the school nurse. She was once seen as a mail carrier.[4]

She was once in a relationship with Hans Moleman, they later tried to patch things up[5] and were seen together at a cinema.[6] Dora slept with Groundskeeper Willie though this was so the latter could copy the key to the cafeteria supply store.,[7] Dora and Willie were later paired up by Professor Frink.[8] Once in the staff room she revealed that she was once suspected of murdering her husband 'Pete' but it was never proven as his body was never found, she then offered everybody 'Chicken Pete pie'.[9] In Homer's LEGO dream, she and Superintendent Chalmers were found making out when the closet they were in fell apart; it's unknown whether the two have actually been in a relationship.[10]
