Wanda Li



"Ah, that's Wanda Li, the toughest and strongest tomboy you'll ever find in all of Ms. Frizzle's class. This tough nut is very beautiful too, because that's what female Asians would do. Since she's very tough, then where should I pit her to fight Nazis, Redcoats, Irkens, Locusts, East Germans, Iranians, Russians, Chinese, North Koreans and the rest of the Coalition of the Red Star to the death in? Beacon Academy? Vale City? A Nazi-occupied Faunus village? Well, I don't know."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Operation: Invasion Der Zukünftigen Akademie

Wanda Li is a fictional character on the animated children's series The Magic School Bus. She was voiced by Lisa Yamanaka in the original series version of The Magic School Bus and by Lynsey Pham in The Magic School Bus Rides Again.

Wanda is the toughest and most boisterous Chinese-American tomboy and (formerly) the smallest member of the class. Always willing to jump into adventure and going where "no kid has gone before," she serves as a foil to Arnold. She wants to solve all problems that face her. She can pull the metal handles off of large doors, using her powerful super strength; and even she can jump the highest into the air.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, she serves as a brute, a martial artist and a stealths expert of both Team Magic School Bus and the Preschool Girls.
