Principal Victoria

Principal Victoria is the principal of South Park Elementary. She is usually seen with the counselor, Mr. Mackey. She used to be voiced by Mary Kay Bergman, and then by Eliza Schneider and April Stewart.

Appearance
She wears a pink shirt and black trousers. She has large eye-glasses and curly hair in an afro-style. Her name is a parody of Victoria Principal. In addition, she speaks with a thick Minnesotan accent, though as of the later seasons, she seems to have lost the accent.

For special occasions, as seen in the awards ceremony scene in "The Death Camp of Tolerance", she wears a indescribable outfit with a lavender top and a black skirt.



Character
Principal Victoria is not described often personality-wise but appears to be more intelligent and rational than most adults; in "Go God Go" she informs Mrs. Garrison, that she knows too little about evolution to teach it and replaces her with Richard Dawkins.

In "Breast Cancer Show Ever", she is revealed to be a strong feminine rights activist as she reveals to Wendy that she is a seven year Breast Cancer survivor and encourages Wendy to fight for what she believes in:

Principal Victoria: I see. I've noticed all the things you've done for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know I'm a breast cancer survivor?

Wendy: Ma'am?

Principal Victoria: I was diagnosed seven years ago. Cancer is... pure evil. It is a fat little lump that needs to be... destroyed. When there is a cancer, you have to "fight" it. You can't reason with cancer, you can't wish it away. Cancer doesn't play by the rules, so neither can you.

Wendy: My... parents said that if I fight-

Principal Victoria: And you can't listen to what anybody else tells you. You have to be willing to give up everything, because the cancer will take everything. Do you understand?

Wendy: Yes ma'am!

Principal Victoria: When you have cancer you fight, because it doesn't matter if you beat it or not. You refuse to let that fat little lump make you feel powerless!

In this same episode, she shows contempt for Eric Cartman and compares him directly to Cancer. It is extremely unlikely that she punished Wendy for fighting Cartman, and if she did she would have punished Cartman as well for provoking Wendy.

It's hinted in the episode, "Toilet Paper", by Josh that she had an abusive mother who, "Spanked her thighs with cold cuts and stuck umbrellas up her ass." This has not been confirmed but because he was able to correctly predict Officer Barbrady's own abuse this is plausible.

Murderess
In the episode "Sexual Harassment Panda", she confessed to having killed a man, despite the fact that the trial in which she made this proclamation had nothing to do with whatever she may be guilty of. However, she explained, "I hit him over the head and cut up the body. I tried to burn it, but it wouldn't burn! I put the legs in the garbage bags and put the torso under the bridge. I had to do it!!" whereupon she then burst into tears.

Homophobia
In the episode "4th Grade", after much persuasion from the public, and hiding away from the world except Ms. Choksondik, Mr. Garrison finally comes out of the closet and admits that he is gay. Principal Victoria and Mr. Mackey express their joy at him finally coming to terms with the truth. However when he asks for his job back, Principal Victoria states, "Oh I'm sorry, we don't hire gay people" and after a pause bursts out laughing. This would seem to imply she is homophobic to an extent or that she is following some pre-existing school by-law which forbids the hiring of homosexuals. Later she relents to having been wrong in the past, and allows him to then teach the Forth grade following the death of Ms. Choksondik.

Any homophobia that Principle Victoria might have could be considered rather ironic as she is known along with Sheila Broflovski and Mayor McDaniels, to have slept with Eric Cartman's mother Liane Cartman. This does not however imply that she is gay, but rather bisexual, due to the fact she has had considerably more heterosexual relationships than homosexual. In the episode "About Last Night", her husband" is shown briefly and in a commentary about that show it is said that that is Victoria's husband's first appearance. Furthermore, she was seen to have slept with Chef in "It Hits the Fan".
