Originally portrayed as a grumpy old lady who Amal dislikes, she and Amal eventually connect over their stories about family and life as an immigrant. Simone is one of Amal's best friends at McCleans. She is sixteen years old and is a natural blonde. Her mother is desperate for her to lose weight, have a boyfriend and be ``normal''. Since she is slightly overweight, Simone tries many fad diets, and is constantly bullied by Tia about her weight.
