In season one, Suzie is very gossipy and sometimes mean. Ned begins to develop a crush on her in this season. Also, she is friends with Bitsy Johnson, the main mean girl in season 1 (Missy Meany came in during season 2, replacing Bitsy for the rest of the series). She and Ned are put in charge of decorating the dance in Guide to: Crushes and Dances, and she turns out to be really nice to him, but Suzie starts dating Seth Powers. Suzie has light brown hair in this season, unlike seasons 2-3, when she had darker hair.
