Janey Powell

Janine "Janey" Powell, voiced by Pamela Hayden,(Note: Powell is her last name in Bart Simpson's Guide To Life, Henderson is her last name in the episode "My Fair Laddy"), who first appeared in Bart the General was once Lisa Simpson's closest friend.

Role in The Simpsons
She has spent the night at the Simpsons' house and Lisa is seen watching cartoons at her house on numerous occasions. She is more likely to be seen in background scenes over speaking appearances. She is also seen reading "The Babysitter Twins" with Lisa.

Relationship with Lisa
Her desciption on the Simpsons POG set described her as "Lisa's fair-weather friend" and this is probably an accurate description. Though she is sometimes seen hanging out with Lisa, other times she teases her along with the other children. She is not portrayed as being nearly as intelligent or nerdy as Lisa. She once blew a bubble with chewing gum rather than engage in Lisa's conversation.

Love Life
Janey may have had a crush on Milhouse Van Houten, whom has a crush on Lisa. She also is seen having a crush on Bart in a Bart Simpson comic by Bongo.

Interests
Janey enjoys to read the book series "The Babysitter Twins" with her fair-weather friend, Lisa Simpson.

Future
She is shown as the spectre of George Washington's reluctant second choice for first female President after Lisa disappoints him, to which Lisa fiercely objected on the grounds Janey would just fill the Supreme Court with boys. This appeared in a vision in They Saved Lisa's Brain.
