She speaks with a strong German accent and is described as an "emasculine weirdo" by her employees. She disapproves of nearly all of Angie's actions, mainly because most of them are detrimental to the company, and fires or comes close to firing Angie on multiple occasions. In "[[]]", she is invited to the Willis' house for dinner. She promotes Angie to head of housing development and minutes later chokes to death on a red wine after it was Heimlich maneuvered out of Heather's throat and into Ms. Portsmouth's mouth.

A highly changed person, Ava will often remind Eric of how he used to be and insinuate that Eric sold out for a position of power. He frequently rejects staff demands for better teaching aids, citing budget cuts; he once referred to wood being used in shop class as a "fancy teaching aid". Often the center of various scandals at the school (and later Quillsville United Schools), he permitted installation of soda dispensing vending machines solely for raising funds for staff vacations and purposely placed lazy students into special education classes to avoid state-mandated exams (whose grades would heavily affect school funding).
