Welcome to South Park Archives! South Park: Born in Chaos - a collaboration between South Park and Fortnite - has released and will be running till February 5.
Ms. Ellen
Ms. Ellen, whose real name is allegedly Maqesh Alaq Makaraqesh, is a substitute teacher for the 3rd grade class at South Park Elementary in the Season One episode, "Tom's Rhinoplasty".
Background
Her beauty caught the attention of all of the males in the third-grade class. Stan Marsh, who was dating Wendy Testaburger at the time, even began vomiting whenever he saw her, a trait he'd only previously displayed for Wendy. Wendy became jealous, trying to get Stan to notice her, while the boys bought her presents, and mentioned her to Chef. After failing to win her over, Chef reveals that she is a lesbian. The boys then proceed to munch boxes and lick carpets in a misguided attempt to become lesbians.
Wendy eventually breaks down in front of the class, giving up and wishing Ms. Ellen and Stan a happy life together. At this moment, Iraqi soldiers burst into the room, revealing that she's allegedly a murderous spy who has been having an affair with Saddam Hussein and make an attempt to take her into custody. Ms. Ellen takes a sword in a bid to escape, accidentally tossing it at Kenny McCormick, and is ultimately taken away.
It is revealed at the episode's conclusion, that Wendy had orchestrated the events, including the Iraqis taking her away, and her being blasted into the sun, thus to her demise.
Despite her death, she later appears as a cameo at the end of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, singing with the rest of South Park during the ending.
It is likely that she is a Christian, due to her wearing a cross necklace in Tom's Rhinoplasty.
Appearance
Ms. Ellen has short parted black hair, red lips, and thin eyebrows. She wears a long dark-grey skirt, a gray collared shirt, and a dark blue, long-sleeved sweater. On the day that Mr. Garrison returns from surgery, she wears black leather: including tight black pants, a black top that reveals her belly, and a large cross necklace.
