Mlle Alphonsine is a teacher at Saint Chapel Academy, the Catholic school at the center of the Cutie Honey story. She serves as the homeroom teacher for Honey Kisaragi and her classmates, including Natsuko Aki and Naoko. Her background is rooted in her role as an educator, and she is a consistent presence in the school setting. Mlle Alphonsine is characterized by a friendly and warm disposition. She is not portrayed as particularly bright, but she is a kind woman who is always willing to help her students. One of her most defining traits is her fondness for cute girls, and she has a noticeable soft spot for Honey Kisaragi in particular. This attraction leads her to go out of her way to be nice to Honey, contrasting sharply with the stricter approach of her colleague, Miharu Tsuneni. Her motivations are simple: she enjoys her work as a teacher and takes pleasure in the company of her students, especially Honey. In the story, Mlle Alphonsine's role is primarily that of a supporting character who provides comic relief. At school, Honey often teases and pranks her, and much of the series' humor stems from these interactions. The teacher is generally oblivious to Honey's secret life as Cutie Honey, and her interactions with the protagonist remain focused on everyday school matters. Her key relationships include the students in her homeroom, most notably Honey. In some versions of the story, she is depicted as having a secret romantic relationship with the school's headmistress, Headmistress Pochi. She also has a professional dynamic with her coworker Miharu Tsuneni, the strict disciplinarian. Mlle Alphonsine does not undergo significant development over the course of the series; her personality and role remain largely static as a source of lightheartedness within the school environment. She possesses no supernatural abilities or combat skills, distinguishing her from the protagonist and the villains. Her significance lies in her function as a foil to the more serious characters and as part of the everyday world that Honey navigates between her heroic battles.
