Mrs. Bailey is a minor recurring character in the Jem animated series. She is the housekeeper of the Starlight Mansion and is also in charge of tending the daily needs of the Starlight Girls.
She was voiced by Hazel Shermet.
History[]
Mrs. Bailey (first name unknown) has served as housekeeper to the Starlight House since way before Emmett Benton passed away and Jerrica was left in charge. She was introduced in the very first episode, The Beginning, and since then she has made numerous –yet usually brief– appearances throughout the series.
A motherly, sensible fixture of Starlight House and later Starlight Mansion, Mrs. Bailey cooks for the Starlight Girls and tends to their daily needs, which include personal and educational expenses. She also consults with Jerrica on the management and finances of the Starlight Foundation.
Despite her prominent role within the mansion, she is neither aware of Synergy's existence nor Jerrica's secret identity as Jem.
Trivia[]
- Probably due to the particular styles between the different animation teams that worked in the series, Mrs. Bailey seemed to get younger and thinner as the show progressed.
- Her first name was never mentioned in the entire series.
- It is speculated that she is a longtime friend of the Bentons.
- Her physical appearance seems to be designed after her voice actress, Hazel Shermet.
- The character Aunt Bailey from the 2015 live-action film is loosely based after her, although she is instead an undisclosed relative of either Emmett or his wife, and adopts the girls after Emmet passes away.
