Mrs. Pariso

Mrs. Pariso is an elderly aardvark who moved into Unit #4 right next to the Frensky's unit at Westboro Apartments in her only appearance in Francine Goes to War.

Biography
When Mrs. Pariso went out for the Olympics in her past years, she was most famous for riding horses, and she also played Tennis.

However, after she moved into her new apartment at Westboro Apartments, she knocked on the wall after Francine and Catherine were making noise in their bedroom in their apartment. Francine and Catherine claimed it was a ghost, but Oliver points out it was the new neighbor, Mrs. Pariso who moved in. Mrs. Pariso's reason to knock on the wall was to remind the girls to be quiet. However, Francine attempts to set traps to force her to move out by playing drums on the roof (being reminded by landlord Mr. Sanders to stop it or Mrs. Pariso should call the cops), prank phone calling (when Francine claims to be "Ed Buttkin" by talking in a manly voice to wonder if the refrigerator was running), sending a prank note (written by Muffy with childish writing and having signed it "The Manager"), thus spilling coffee on the corners and sending it through the closed doorway of her apartment (which she does it back to Francine without having seen her), and when Francine and Prunella make ghostly noises through the vents, and when Francine puts a spider on her doormat with the letter "P" (which falls on Francine's head when she leaves her apartment and heads for school the next day).

When Francine comes to meet her for the first time and knocks on her door, she turns out she wasn't as bad as Francine first thought. She then admits that she really likes Francine, and invites her in. The inside of her apartment turns out to be well detailed with nice furniture, lots of pictures, and trophies she won in the Olympics. Francine says she invited her for tea (according to Oliver), but Mrs. Pariso didn't really care for tea, so she offered a soda. Francine likes orange, which she likes, also. Francine looks at everything and is happy to hear about the good news about her fame in the Olympics. Then she offers Francine a cookie. Then Francine explains to Oliver about Mrs. Pariso being a great athlete in sports. Francine also learned that Mrs. Pariso is lonesome, and wants to meet new people.

Then Oliver has set up a banner to welcome her to some new people to meet in Elwood City: Laverne, Wanda, and Bitzi. However, Francine admits it should be her job to introduce Mrs. Pariso to the people and that Oliver should just answer the door.

Then she and Francine go out to ride horses at the Aegean Stables. Then Francine introduces Mrs. Pariso to her friends: Arthur, Muffy, Buster, and the Brain. Buster says she looks nice for a witch, but Francine tells Buster she's not a witch. However, Mrs. Pariso says there was a time she met an old warlock when she was training in Romania. Then she and Francine get a chocolate ice cream in a cone at The Sugar Bowl, and they both high-each other, being happy to meet each other.

Back at the Frensky's, while Francine and Catherine are doing their homework, Mrs. Pariso and the company in her apartment start laughing, causing Catherine to be annoyed. Francine says that Mrs. Pariso is just having fun, but Catherine admits she can't do her homework if Mrs. Pariso and others are laughing out loud. Then Catherine starts banging on the wall "Shave and a Haircut" until Mrs. Pariso knocks back finishing how the notes go.
