'''Mrs. Astor''' is a very wealthy female [[Humans|Human]]. She lives in a mansion located in the [[Waldorf Asteroid]] with her butler, [[Hobsy]], and dozens of dalmatians. She was responsible for [[The Mutants Are Revolting|the declaration of Mutant freedom]] of September of [[3010]].

== Biography ==
On 10 April, [[2912]], she went on a cruise with [[Mr. Astor|her husband]]. Unfortunately, [[Land Titanic|the ship]] sank. Mrs. Astor thought she lost him, but she would later discover he had actually been safe the whole time.

In September of [[3010]], she ordered a soufflé (with a few drops of nitroglycerine) from [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. The [[Planet Express]] crew was hired to deliver it to her. After meeting the crew, she invited [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to a fundraiser all the best families would attend.

At the [[New New York Historical Society]] [[New New York Historical Society building|building]], she told the story of how she (thought she) lost Mr. Astor. That story would justify the creation of the [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser]], which supported the [[United Mutant Scholarship Fund]]. However, the fund wasn't meant to help the [[Sewer Mutants]], but to keep those hideous creatures busy so they wouldn't ask for equal rights. During a conversation, Fry accidentally revealed Leela was actually a mutant, rather than an alien, and Mrs. Astor called the [[New New York Police Department|police]] to have her arrested and sent to the [[NNY Sewers|Sewers]].

Meanwhile, Fry and Leela had joined forces with a revolted army of Mutants and found [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|a way]] to send all the sewage back to the surface. As the largest campaign contributor, Mrs. Astor demanded that [[Mayor Poopenmeyer]] cleaned up streets of [[New New York]], now fully covered by a green sea of garbage. The Mayor solved the problem by ordering an [[Antarians|Antarian]] to pump it into [[Madison Cube Garden]]. Strangely, it didn't stop there. The Mutants came onto the surface and asked for freedom.

Mrs. Astor didn't agree on giving it to them, but a mutated Fry emerged from the ground and showed her a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald|quantum force gemerald]] the crew has discovered in the Sewers which carried a love message from Mr. Astor, as well as the [[Land Titanic]]'s original passenger manifest. She then [[Leela's Grandmother|learned]] he risked his life for a mutant. Wanting to pay him one last tribute, Mrs. Astor persuaded the Mayor to give them what they wanted. A few minutes later, Mr. Astor would appear only to reveal he had been living in the Sewers after being mutated by a taste of [[Lake Mutagenic]] water and that when Fry jumped into the lake, he was actually swallowed by Mr. Astor, preventing him from becoming mutated. They hugged, celebrating their reunion.
