Margaret Evelyn "Maggie" Simpson (born June 16, 1988, in 1989, 2022 in 2023) is the youngest child and youngest daughter of Homer and Marge Simpson, and the baby sister to Tessa, Bart, Lizzy and Lisa Simpson. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family.

Relationships

Homer

Homer has, at times, forgotten Maggie's existence and Maggie, in turn, has shown disinterest and even fear towards her father. In fact, she wasn't above targeting him after seeing a cartoon and running away from him when he tried to bond with her or when Marge asked him to hold her.

Nevertheless, she recognizes his heart and has shown herself willing to do whatever it takes to save or aid him. When he was on the verge of drowning, Maggie stopped at nothing to rescue him and when he was kidnapped by a crazed tow-trucker, she rode out to liberate him and bring him home (despite earlier wriggling out of his grip to get to Marge). In addition, when Homer and Marge were threatened by the local mob, she used a shotgun to disarm and injure them all and her parents never learned she was the shooter. At one point, when she thought Homer was lost at sea with Bart, she was clearly saddened (like Marge and Lisa) but was overjoyed when she saw him alive and hugged his arm in response. At one point, she gave her father one of her dolls to take care of to cheer him up and, while giving him a warm hug, replaced a dream version of Flanders (a reference to her once being one of his foster children) with one of Homer. Maggie's first word was, "Daddy", although no one was around to hear it. In Eeny Teeny Maya, Moe, she was smiling while he pushed her stroller after Marge had him bond with her. Homer tried to save her from bullies, and she protected him after he was overpowered.

In Lisa's Wedding, a teenage Maggie has a framed photo of her and Homer prominently in her room, suggesting they have a closer bond as she gets older.

Marge

Maggie has a much closer bond with her mother than anyone else in the family. This was most evident when, forced to choose between the Flanders family or the Simpsons in a custody matter, she was undecided until Marge appeared and Maggie ran to her. In addition, when Marge was missing for a time (actually on a personal much-needed vacation), a saddened Maggie spent a large amount of time looking for her, even going so far as to search in all of the places she typically goes with her. And whenever she is worried or frightened and Marge is around, she always goes to her for comfort and security. Even then, however, she, at times, rebels against her mother's parenting by refusing to eat certain foods and resisting her mother's insistence that she wear an uncomfortable sweater.

Tessa

Maggie's prone to be closer to Tessa as she is protective towards her. She loves her oldest sister as she babysits her and gets in touch, Maggie knows about Tessa's friends and deeds so much she asks Shauna if her and Shauna's niece Emily have playdates while Tessa and Shauna hang out together. Tessa bonds with Maggie over taking down their enemies and rivals based on their age gap.

Bart

Like the other members of her family, Maggie has at times shown aggravation towards Bart. At one point, she even slapped him repeatedly for choices that he made. And when she was "a mean drunk" after "getting high off the beer fumes", she drunkenly threw slow punches at him and at one point even had him in a stranglehold, although Bart did not appear to be fighting back. She also (in her own way) tattled on Bart, letting her parents know that he had a dolphin in his possession. Despite this, Maggie loves her brother very much. So much so, she played with him when he couldn't see Milhouse for a while, pulled several pranks with him, and joyfully square-danced with him at a Dude Ranch.

In addition, after he returned from a very poorly planned disastrous trip to France, Maggie gave him a loving hug upon seeing him again. On another occasion, she played a brief game of Police Detective with him. When Bart was accused of a prank, he, surprisingly, did NOT commit, she alone knew he was innocent and convinced her entire family to fight for Bart.

During two Treehouse of Horror segments, Maggie held onto Bart for security when climbing down from the tree house and when falling asleep, laid on him. However, she happily stole money from him, only to suck on, though, in lieu of a pacifier.

Lisa

After Marge, Maggie seems to be closest to Lisa. The two have similar levels of intelligence and general interests despite their youth and have a strong sisterly bond. Also, next to Marge and Homer, Lisa holds and carries Maggie the most. However, Maggie does express annoyance with Lisa at times and will occasionally act smug towards her, such as when she developed her whistling ability.

Mr. Burns

The two are not on good terms after Maggie shot him. Although the hatred she has for him is strong, she gave him his stuffed animal, Bobo.

Ned Flanders

When she, her brother, and sister go to live with the Flanders, she seems fine with it, especially when she said Daddily Doodily after spending time with the Flanders family.

Moe

Aside from a non-canon word of his name in Flaming Moes, she’s shown to like Moe as in a few episodes especially in Moe Baby Blues, where he’s shown that he likes spending time with her.

Trivia

• Maggie has had several rare occasions, where she's had lines of spoken dialogue (see "Maggie's Quotes" above). However, the only time where her dialogue was actually considered canon was in "Lisa's First Word", where she said "Daddy".
  • In this appearance, Maggie was voiced by Elizabeth Taylor, who later guest starred as herself in the same season (Season 4) 12 episodes later in "Krusty Gets Kancelled".
• Maggie has an oral fixation, meaning that she has the need to have something in her mouth at all times. In her case, she is obsessed with her pacifier and always has the need to suck on it. This is further proven in "Crook and Ladder", where Marge took her pacifier away and she threw a rampage over it. She gave up her pacifier at the age of 4, but even after that, she still had a slight addiction. In "Holidays of Future Passed", she is seen as a grown up, and when she goes into labor, she is given a pacifier to suck on in place of an epidural, which successfully helps her.
• A running gag affiliated with Maggie is for her to trip over her onesie when she walks.
• Bart and Lisa addressed Homer by his first name as babies, with Bart continuing to do it up until the present day. Maggie was the only sibling not to follow this trend; Maggie's first word (in Lisa's First Word), was, in fact, "Daddy", although no one heard her.
  • In "Every Man's Dream", Maggie made her first and so far, only singing appearance, where Homer had a psychedelic dream where he taught Maggie to talk, and she sang a blip of the song "What a Wonderful World".
• She enjoys playing internet poker.
• According to the "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace" audio commentary, Matt Groening records and makes Maggie's sucking noise on her pacifier himself.
• Maggie is right-handed, like her father and sister.
• She’s of French, Native American and Scandinavian descent.
• In most episodes, when she isn’t sucking on her pacifier, Maggie is shown with a straight lip like Marge and Lisa. Sometimes, she has a curved upper lip like Homer.
• As of "Frink Gets Testy", Maggie is the only Simpson who hasn't been seen writing out a chalkboard punishment.
• Maggie was the person who shot Mr. Burns although in "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times", Homer reveals that he was the actual shooter and says that he framed Maggie.
• Maggie is the first character to strangle Bart as shown in “Scary Stories.”
• Sometimes, Maggie isn’t with the family when they go somewhere, probably being babysat while the family is away.
