Bart Simpson
The quintessential ten-year-old rebel and underachiever who lives to cause chaos and challenge authority in the town of Springfield.
Story
Bartholomew JoJo Bart Simpson is the eldest child and only son of Homer and Marge Simpson, and the brother of Lisa and Maggie. Residing at 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield, he is a self-proclaimed underachiever and proud of it. Bart is characterized by his rebellious nature, sharp wit, and penchant for elaborate pranks, often targeting his father or Principal Skinner. Despite his troublemaking tendencies, he possesses a hidden moral compass and deep loyalty to his family, particularly his sister Lisa, though they frequently bicker. His life revolves around skateboarding, watching Krusty the Clown, reading comic books, and getting into mischief with his best friend Milhouse Van Houten. He is a cultural icon representing the anti-authoritarian youth of the late 20th century, known for his catchphrases like Eat my shorts and Ay Caramba, and his ability to find humor in the mundane absurdity of suburban life.
World
In the late twentieth-century suburban United States, Springfield runs on ordinary civic institutions, school rules, family routines, and cartoonishly elastic consequences. Everyday life turns minor frustrations into absurd conflicts, while social authority is repeatedly challenged by youthful rebellion. Bart occupies the center of this disorder as a student and prankster, navigating home, school, and neighborhood expectations.

Notes
Rebellious, mischievous, witty, impulsive, loyal, and charismatic, Bart seeks fun and recognition through rebellion and pranks. Short attention span, academic failure, and approval-seeking undermine his bad-boy pose. Skilled at skateboarding and elaborate pranking; the cost is constant detention, parental discipline, and a reputation as a failure. Spiky yellow hair, red t-shirt, skateboard, and slingshot mark him.
