Winifred Fowl, aka Miss Fowl, is a supporting character in the franchise and a teacher at Lindbergh Elementary.
History[]
When she first appears in the movie, she has a standard teacher role. When Jimmy questions the standard of research on the school projects, Miss Fowl hastily shifts the focus to show and tell instead of answering. She also shows annoyance at Sheen, for the seventh week in a row that he had brought Ultra Lord. Sometimes, she makes random parrot noises, hence her name. Once, in "I Dream of Jimmy", she laid eggs of smaller versions of herself in Carl's dream.
Throughout the series, Miss Fowl usually only appears to fill the role of the teacher. Most often, she has just concluded a lesson on some random topic, such as "why cowboys are bow-legged."
She plays a minor role in the movie, where she gets shrunk by Jimmy's shrink ray, though Jimmy was not aware of it. She is first threatened by a worm, giant by her standards, which had been living in her apple. Although none of the children realizes it, she is passed over by the Yolkians and becomes the only adult left. At the end of the movie, she has tamed the worm, calling it Mr. Wiggles, and is riding towards the cafeteria.
In a special sneak peek for the series that aired during the 2002 KCAs, it is revealed that she had to face many wacky situations during the time she was shrunk, such as becoming the ruler of an ant colony.
She has an important role in Substitute Creature, where Jimmy accidentally mutates her into a fifty-foot-tall spinach monster. When Jimmy brings Thomas Edison to the present, he becomes infatuated with her, to the point that he does not want to return to the past and the time stream is in danger. Her age is unknown, yet she appears to be in her late years, at least over her 80's, since in the eighty-second Father's Day folly in Make Room for Daddy-O, she states that she remembers the first as if it were yesterday, along with working at a rodeo before she became a teacher for seventy-four years.
She is based on the Mater Dei High School faculty member Mrs. Larsen. John A. Davis, attended Mater Dei High School had Mrs. Larsen as an Economics teacher.
In the video game Jimmy Neutron: Jet Fusion, the Virtual World Reproduction Machine transforms her into The Goddess of Fire and being the second boss of the game, the boss of World 3. In order to hurt her, the player has to blow a wind turbine with the primary fire of the Gust Buster Fan to open a pit of acid in the ground, then going up to her and using the secondary fire of the GBF to knock her into the acid. Doing this 2 more times rewards the player with the second idol.

Trivia[]
- Certain episodes (particularly later on in the series) imply that she and Sam Melvick (the owner of The Candy Bar) are dating.

- In Foul Bull, Ms. Fowl is revealed to have worked at a rodeo, prior to becoming a teacher. She only became a teacher due to her horse bucking her off while she was performing in a rodeo.
- She's shown to be very knowledgeable about werewolves in the Halloween-episode -- she justifies it by claiming that she was once married to a werewolf.
- She has been teaching for 74 years as mentioned in How to Sink a Sub before raising her piercing educator's skunk eye. Assuming she has been teaching since her 20's, she may be close to 100 years old.
- In Lady Sings the News, it is mentioned that Mr. Fowl once was caught "grading and driving." An obvious parody of "drinking and driving".
