Mable Bottomsworth (despite her unfortunate surname and Ella's constant teasing) is an intelligent, dedicated, and firm teacher who takes her job very seriously. She has no patience for misbehavior and expects her students to be respectful and focused in her classroom. However, despite her stern demeanor, she cares deeply about her students and wants them to succeed. She may have a short temper at times, but she also has a kind and supportive side, always willing to lend an ear or offer encouragement to her students. She's not one to take any nonsense, but she's also not afraid to have a little fun and let her guard down. She takes pride in her profession and her legacy as a teacher, and her dedication to her students is second to none.
