Miniature Toy Cranky Teacher Figure
Muriel P. Finster from “Recess: School’s Out” 2003 Muriel P. Finster, often referred to as just Finster, Miss Finster, or Muriel, is an administrative assistant (later fifth-grade teacher, previously Kindergarten teacher) who is the children's constant nemesis on the playground and is the main antagonist (and sometimes an anti-hero) of the series. She also serves as one of the main protagonists of Recess: School's Out. Her surname "Finster" also rhymes with "spinster", which means "an unmarried woman, typically an old woman beyond the usual age for marriage." Many spinsters are often portrayed as very mean, probably due to the fact that they are not married. This describes Miss Finster rather well: she presumably never married at all (since she goes by "Miss" rather than "Mrs." or "Ms.") and with her gray hair, it may be implied that she is at least in her sixties, past the usual age when women do get married. <head><meta charset="UTF-8" /></head> CHARACTER INFORMATI
