Polly Sparks

Polly Sparks (or Polly Spark) is Professor Spark's third-grade daughter and Botley's main purpose is the unenviable task of keeping her under control. She serves as the primary anatagonist of JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain.

Appearance
Polly has blonde hair set in pigtails and she wears large glasses, what appears to be a lab coat worn as a dress, bright green socks and red sneakers. Most of the time, her eyebrows float above her head in a cartoonish fashion, though they tend to come down onto the tops of her glasses when she's in a particularly diabolical mood.

JumpStart 3rd Grade
Polly serves as the game's antagonist and is portrayed as being a spoiled brat, regularly calling Botley names such as "Snotley," "Potley" and "Dotley." The game also makes her out to be rather fiendish considering that many of her changes to the timeline would almost certainly result in many people being hurt or killed, such as causing people to believe that radium isn't dangerous and therefore continue to use it in luminous paints, though it is unlikely she is entirely aware of the damage she can cause. Her actions would also give her a degree of personal power verging on world domination.

She also appears to have a small robotic lackey, who looks somewhat like a floating shark. This robot delivers Botley and the user new TransQuizzer disks, can occasionally be seen attempting to sabotage the Mountain's generator with a banana and appears with Polly in her father's secret chamber at the beginning and end of the game.

JumpStart Typing
Polly is considerably nicer and agrees to help Botley rescue Coach Qwerty from the Trophy Room, though only when she is faced with the possibility of her father finding out that she had locked him in there to begin with. At the end of JumpStart Typing, she apologizes to Coach Qwerty for her actions, and he forgives her. One consistency, however, between her seemingly antithetical portrayals in 3rd Grade and Typing is that in both games her bad deeds arise out of wounded pride resulting from the fact that she apparently considers herself intellectually superior to others.

Interestingly, this is the first time she and Botley actually appear together, since, in JumpStart 3rd Grade, she remains in her father's secret chamber, apparently the Mountain's control room, for the entire game and communicates with Botley and the user only through a series of video monitors.

Polly is the main character and host of a quiz-show style game.

Trivia

 * Polly and her father's last name was Spark in JumpStart 3rd Grade, but in JumpStart Typing it was changed to Sparks, and has remained that way since.
