UNCOVERED Maureen Murphy of F Is For Family


 

We have Maureen Murphy of the Netflix animated series F is for Family being bound and gagged in the nude.

Maureen Murphy is one of two tritagonists (alongside Bill) of F is For Family. She is the oldest daughter of Frank and Sue Murphy, whom Frank always refers to as "princess". Maureen is normally a sweet little girl, though she often does bad things and causes problematic events, being smart enough to hide it. Maureen is the 3rd of four children, being three years younger than Bill. Mr. Holtenwasser tells her that he drove Sue to the hospital for her birth.

Maureen's closest friends are two neighborhood boys, Ben and Kenny. She enjoys playing all kinds of dangerous, unsanitary, and poorly thought out games with them.

In "F is for Halloween," Maureen finds it difficult to decide on a Halloween costume. She thinks the girl's costumes are lame and Frank won't let her wear a boys costume. He does eventually allow her to dress as Mr. Coconut.

She has an interest in computers and is gifted in mathematics, though she is often discouraged by her school, Frank, and the Honeybee's from indulging in these activities because she is a girl. Once it's proven she got the highest mark of any girl on her math test, her parents let her sign up for Computer Club.

Although Maureen is shown as a sweet and innocent girl, she tends to be manipulative towards people. Her tomboyish personality comes to light frequently, especially when she decides to dress up in boy's costumes for Halloween.

Given that Maureen was the only daughter in the family until "Baby, Baby, Baby," and is known as "Daddy's little girl", it's obvious that she has the best relationship with Frank, compared to Bill and Kevin. Frank does not often notice her bad behavior leading to her being defiant and putting herself in dangerous situations. Ultimately, it was Bill who had to teach her the consequences of these actions.

She often takes advantage of, Bill. Most notably in "Bill Murphy's Day Off," where she repeatedly bosses him around and rubs salt in his wounds because she knows about his suspension.

Maureen is the closest with the family dog, Major. She tried to dress him up for Halloween, but he wouldn't cooperate. Major follows her as she goes after Bill in "Bill Murphy's Day Off". The fireworks explosion causes the dog to run off, and in the next episode, Maureen is distraught over his disappearance and is determined to find him.

Maureen doesn't get along well with many of her peers, especially other little girls, who tease her and call her ugly or boring. Ben and Kenny seem to be the only kids her age she gets along with.

Maureen is also quite smart for her age and takes an interest in rockets and computers. She dislikes the Honeybee Scouts and many other traditionally feminine activities.
