Character Information
|
Laura Powers lives next door to the Simpsons and is the only child of single-parent divorceé Ruth Powers.
History
Laura and her mother Ruth moved into the house next door when The Winfields moved out. Marge and Ruth quickly became friend; so did Laura and Bart. After Laura made Bart faint in the basement of her new house, he developed a crush on her. Bart was later heartbroken when he found out that she was in love with Jimbo Jones. When Bart prank called Moe's Travern, Laura thought that Jimbo had prank called the area, and she decided to break up with him. She then stated that she would date Bart if he were a little older: "If you had a bad teenage moustache, I'd go out with you in a second." She then kissed him[1] Ever since the events of "New Kid on the Block", Bart and Laura have never talked to one another again.
Laura seems to no longer be living with her mother, but still lives in Springfield. Near the end of the Trappuccino incident, she was seen throwing rocks at Homer when he returned to Springfield.[2]
Laura and her mother seemed to have moved to Detroit after Springfield fell victim to the Financial Crisis. Their house is later occupied by a disguised Sideshow Bob.[3]
