Leslie Meyers was a female fourth grader and the main antagonist of Season Nineteen. She made her first appearance in the episode, "Ginger Kids" and was then killed by PC Principal in "PC Principal Final Justice" after she is exposed as a self-aware ad in human form.
Background[]
Initially, Leslie was a background character that appeared at South Park Elementary, and originally had light brown hair. She was frequently seen in assemblies and on the playground around Season Seventeen, and appeared with a sister and her mother in "The Cissy". However, since the former season commonly gave color swaps for characters (such as a orange-haired Bebe Stevens or a black-haired Heidi Turner), it is possible that this may be a completely different character using Leslie's design.
Starting from Season Nineteen, Leslie is always habitually caught by PC Principal chatting with her friend during school assemblies; this has become a recurring joke throughout the season. She was even called out when she stopped chatting before the assembly in "Tweek x Craig" and reported to police in "Naughty Ninjas".
In "Naughty Ninjas", during the closing scene, it is revealed that PC Principal and Leslie may have some affiliation with each other.
In "Sponsored Content", she interviews Jimmy Valmer at the Newsmen's headquarters and says she is "special", she asks if he is "special" too. Jimmy then figures out Leslie is a human advertisement and becomes angry with the salesmen asking if she knows this as well.
In "Truth and Advertising", she escapes the Newsmen with Jimmy's assistance when he realizes they want to boil her alive to hide the truth. However, this turns out to be a trick, and she then beats up Jimmy to carry out Nathan's plan.
Appearance[]
She has medium, black hair with bouncy ends. Formally, her hair is brown and straight (though in episodes before Season Nineteen, it was a much lighter shade of brown). She wears a yellow shirt with a black and white robot head on it (similar in appearance to the Reddit alien mascot, Snoo), green pants, and a large yellow headband. After being 'murdered' by PC Principal, her head is shown to be filled with a strange glowing blue liquid and machinery.
Leslie bears a near-identical resemblance to Jenny Simons, particularly her hair.
Personality[]
Although she seems kind and friendly, she is cold and uncaring about human life or their well-being, as evidenced when she beat up Jimmy Valmer, even after he saved her from the newsmen's murder attempt, in order to carry out her plan. She is also very manipulative, as she emotionally manipulates both Jimmy and Kyle into helping her, even pretending to be attracted to the latter in order to advance her plans. Despite her robotic mannerisms, she does have some degree of emotion, such as surprise at Jimmy being alive.
Abilities[]
Vocal Manipulation[]
As an ad, she is shown to be able to perfectly imitate anyone's voice, as shown when she imitates President Barack Obama in "PC Principal Final Justice". Her natural voice is an almost robotic monotone, a clue that she is not as she seems. Also as an ad, she can take human form, and unlike humans, has blue jelly-like blood when PC Principal kills her.
Manipulation[]
As an ad, she is also very cunning and manipulative. She successfully turns Jimmy, who is fully aware of her essence, into helping her escape from the Newsmen. Leslie also manipulated Kyle into believing she thought he was cute just for his help to get messages across. Even the perfectly calm and rational Kyle was completely convinced that Leslie was not an ad.
Jamming[]
Leslie can interrupt transmissions and insert ads in media. She uses this power to distract the Newsmen, making them unable to surveil so that she can have enough time to entice Jimmy.
Strength[]
Leslie is shown to be incredibly strong, able to beat Jimmy unconscious with punching and break the ceiling open just by throwing Jimmy at the ceiling. She does all of this with no visible signs of stress or even effort. She is also durable enough to briefly withstand an assault from PC Principal.
Interactions[]
Jimmy Valmer[]
In her talk with him, he realizes she is an ad after her robotic responses. Despite this, in "Truth and Advertising", Jimmy appears to fall for her tricks and saves her from the Newsmen after hearing of their murder plans, which nearly gets them both killed. However, she double-crosses him to help Nathan with the Super School News paper to carry out her planned attack afterward.
PC Principal[]
She seems to not have a good relationship with PC Principal, with her getting yelled at four times by him for talking to her friend during a school assembly (and a fourth time when she stopped talking before being yelled). However, in "Naughty Ninjas", this is revealed as a cover-up for a plot against South Park. In "PC Principal Final Justice" she is revealed to be a sentient robot ad and is destroyed by PC Principal at The South Park Gun Show.
Kyle Broflovski[]
She came to Kyle at the end of "Truth and Advertising" because she heard how good he was at getting messages across, and because she thought he was cute. Kyle then protects her, and she goes on to trick him into thinking that Jimmy is dead and that PC Principal is the enemy. He then goes on to spread these lies to his friends at the South Park Gun Show. Kyle easily gets manipulated by Leslie.
Nathan[]
Nathan is known to be a mastermind in his crimes, but not when he helps Leslie in dominating the world with advertisements as Nathan is shown to be Leslie’s henchman in "Truth and Advertising". When Nathan puts misinformation on the school newspapers, Jimmy caught him and confronts Nathan about his lies about how he is putting up fake news and information on the school newspaper, and instead of going against Nathan, Leslie shows here true colors and betrays Jimmy by beating him up to continue her schemes with Nathan’s help.
Girl with Pink Coat[]
It is possible that they are best friends, as Leslie is always chatting with her. She seems to chat with her friend all the time, even at school assemblies. It is unknown if she knew Leslie was an ad.
