Fanny Fulbright (Codename: Kids Next Door)

Francine "Fanny" Fulbright, or Numbuh 86, is a character from the Cartoon Network show, Codename: Kids Next Door. She is the Head of Decommissioning and current Global Tactical Officer of the Kids Next Door Organization.

Why She Should Get Decommissioned

 * 1) She's a misandristic, arrogant, bossy, short-tempered, insufferable jerk who treats others (mainly boys) like garbage.
 * 2) Hypocrisy: She's always insulting boys and calling them stupid, when she herself irritating, ungrateful, spiteful, and straight-up nasty.
 * 3) Her voice is incredibly annoying, not helping by the fact that she's almost always yelling.
 * 4) She is at her absolute worst in her debut episode “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.”. She was only willing to work with Numbuh 3 and 5 because believes they're competent because they're girls while thinking Numbuh 1, 2, and 4 are incompetent because they're boys and tried to ditch them while her and Numbuh 3 and 5 go on the mission, and when the mission fails, thanks to her, Numbuh 1, 2, and 4 arrive in time and captured the fugitive operative Numbuh 206, and what does she do? She takes all the credit for herself!
 * 5) Her irrational hatred of boys is beyond exasperating and gets annoying after one episode.
 * 6) She's incredibly rude, and it's not helped by the fact that she's almost always yelling.
 * 7) In “Operation: E.N.D.”, she eagerly decommissions all of Sector V (sans Numbuh 1), even after Nigel tells her they went to Kindergarten together, meaning he isn't 13. And speaking of that, it's incredibly unlikely all of Sector V would have the same birthday, something she doesn't even try to confirm with anyone. And when decommissioning Numbuhs 2-5, she willingly lets them know that they won't remember a thing about the KND after the process is complete is all too much detail, and even laughs as it's taking place!
 * 8) She blames others for her own mistakes, like in “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.” when she forced Numbuh 4 to fire at the fugitive ship immediately without locking on, causing debris from the fugitive ship to make Sector V's ship crash and she blames Numbah 1, 2, and 4 for the damage when she was the one who caused it to crash.
 * 9) In “Operation: C.A.K.E.D.-F.I.V.E.”, she forcibly decommissions Numbuh 19th Century, who was the only person who knew the recipe for the Delightful Children's cake recipe and lost his memory in the process, ruining the KND's mission and she doesn't get called out or punished for this and gets off scot-free.
 * 10) She went from being a jerk towards boys to being intolerable to everyone.
 * 11) No matter how annoying, hypocritical, or self-centered she acts, she gets little to no punishment in the end. The worst she ever gets is being chewed out for an apt failure and her own bouts of stupidity, or personally humiliated for a comedy gag.
 * 12) She is like an Irish-version of Princess Morbucks, funny enough, Jennifer Hale voiced both characters.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She gets her comeuppance in “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.” when she tries to take all the credit for herself for capturing Numbuh 206, only to reveal that "he" was actually Numbuh 362 in disguise for an undercover mission and scolds Fanny in the same manner she did to Sector V.
 * 2) In “Operation: S.L.U.M.B.E.R.” implies that she acts the way she does because she actually sad and lonely, her only friend being Numbuh 12, only for her to defect to the Teen Ninjas.
 * 3) As much of a misandrist she is, she still isn't as bad as Madame Margaret, who hates boys so much, she's willing to wipe out half of the population.
 * 4) At least she realizes and apologizes for her mistakes.
 * 5) When Maurice (Numbuh 9), a renowned operative, turned 13, she was just as sad as everyone else, in spite of her usual boy-hating ways. Especially considering she was the one who had to decommission him.
 * 6) She's one of the few people who Mr. Boss, the greedy, corrupt, child-hating businessman, genuinely cares about, which is certainly a good thing.
 * 7) To be fair to Fanny in regards to "Why She Should Get Decommissioned" #7, she and her troops manipulated by the traitorous Numbuh 274 into decommissioning Sector V as part of his insidious scheme.

Trivia

 * Fanny was born in Ireland and moved to the United States while she was young.
 * It's implied that she is in charge of decommissioning due to the fact that she is already unpopular among other KND agents.
 * In “Operation: F.E.R.A.L.” it is implied she knows what happened to Nigel’s hair.
 * In “Operation: F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E.”, it was stated that she hates toenails and thinks they are disgusting.
 * In “Operation: D.A.D.D.Y.”, Numbuh 1 states she has more Rainbow Monkeys than Kuki (Numbuh 3).
