==Biography==
Bluey is one of the Heeler's family members. She's a daughter of Bandit and Chilli and has a younger sister called Bingo. Her neighbourhood friends include Lucky and Judo. She's also friend with most students at Calypso's School and best friends with Chloe.
Bluey may have been born before or after her mother, Chilli, suffered a miscarriage.Oderberg, Isabelle. Hard to Bear: Investigating the science and silence of miscarriage, pp 47-48. ISBN 9781761152160 In either case, Chilli became greatly excited when Bluey learned to roll over early in her infancy. Chilli became anxious for Bluey to progress just as quickly through other stages leading to walking. However, she later learned-with some help-not to stress over the matter and to simply enjoy Bluey’s development. This saw Bluey roll, bum shuffle, and even crawl backwards before eventually learning to walk in the Heeler Family's House kitchen. During this time, Bluey also first met three children who she would go on to be friends with: Coco, Judo, and Snickers.Baby Race
Approximately two years after Bluey was born, Chilli gave birth to another daughter, Bingo.Yoga Ball When Bluey was still quite young, her mother and aunt Brandy became estranged; as a result, Bluey spent a number of years not remembering or knowing she had an aunt on her mother’s side.Bluey's Big PlayOnesies A relative she did see-albeit rarely, due to his working on an oil rig-was her father’s older brother, Radley Heeler. At some point, Frisky was named her godmother.Double Babysitter
Under construction
One holiday when she was six or seven, Bluey and her family went camping with her Uncle Stripe’s family. During the trip, she met and befriended a boy named Jean-Luc, who spoke French. In spite of their language barrier, the pair had a great deal of fun together, and Bluey was deeply saddened to awake one morning and find Jean-Luc had gone home. Chilli helped Bluey understand that such things often happened in life, and that it was an experience Bluey should treasure. She also expressed optimism when Bluey wondered whether she would ever see Jean-Luc again.
In her teenage years, Bluey and her family would go camping at the same place where she met Jean-Luc. Borrowing a book from Muffin-though apparently without asking-she sat under a tree grown from a seed that she and Jean-Luc planted. While reading, she was unexpectedly greeted, to her surprise and pleasure, by Jean-Luc.Camping

==Trivia==
*Being the main protagonist, Bluey has appeared in almost every episode. The only exceptions are Turtleboy and Slide.
**She has only been absent in four shorts, namely Pea Pod Sausages, Green Bottles, Mower and Honk.
*Viewer gender confusion: Bluey has frequently been mistaken as a male by many viewers, mainly due to her looking like her father, having some traits of a young boy and her being blue, a stereotypical "boy color". In fact, when the show first aired, nearly all initial viewers assumed Bluey and Bingo were male, as their gender had not been said in the first few episodes, though a few episodes later, it was stated that Bluey and Bingo were female dogs. Even after this, many people who have only seen small things from the show tend to think Bluey is a boy, it has even got to the point where plush toys of Bluey nearly always get put in the "boys toys" aisle of stores, and in some cases, the plush is even straight up listed as a "boy dog plush" in online listings of it. The confusion was further fueled in Kids, when a cashier says to Bluey, "What a nice young boy you have there!" (refering to Bandit), as many people believed that the cashier was talking to Bandit. 
** Fandom nod: This is later referenced in a few episodes, in Double Babysitter when Uncle Rad said, "cause he's blue," after which Bluey corrects him, saying that she is a girl.
*Bluey's favourite animal is a fruit bat, as seen in Fruit Bat.
**In Onesies cheetahs were established as her favorite animal, while four years previously zebras were her favorite animal.
*Bluey's favourite colour of capsicum (bell pepper) is yellow, as mentioned in the episode BBQ.
*Bluey's favourite breakfast is fruit salad, as mentioned in the episode Fruit Bat.
*Bluey's older version can be seen at the end of episode Camping.
*Bluey's family is the first to have a known surname.
*Bluey once played as a cameo, as seen on episode Army.
* Bluey and Bingo have unlockable Emojis on the DisneyNOW app and website that can be used on the user's profile. These emojis use the art style of Disney Emoji Blitz, a match-3 puzzle game for mobile phones.
*She may be unable to read as seen in Takeaway and Bus, although in some episodes as well as in the short Crazy Christmas Lights, she can be seen presumably reading a book. However, she might just be looking at pictures.
**She is also intrigued by the fact that her buddy Mia can write, which could mean that she is unable to either.
**In Library, she can be seen reading aloud, which could mean that Bluey is starting to be able to read. Though again, she could just be trying to retell the story through the pictures.
*Throughout Bin Night, she is shown to have a white belt on an unspecified martial art (probably karate). 
**Later in the episode, she can be seen advanced to the yellow belt.
*Bluey plays the recorder, as shown in Queens and Bin Night.
*Baby Race features Bluey when she was still a baby.
*In Baby Race, Chilli confirms that Bluey is still two years older than Bingo, although she might just be approximating (either by default or excess).
** It is possible while Bingo's fifth birthday happened in Handstand, Bluey’s seventh birthday is shown in Pass the Parcel
**The long distance between her birthdays is somewhat noted by Bandit in Chest, being confused as to why Bluey is still six (she tells him she’s almost seven)
*In Burger Shop, it is mentioned that she is in preschool, more specifically a preparatory school as stated in Calypso's bio.
*In Jingle Bells short, this marks the first short where Bluey speaks.
*Bluey is the first charcter to have their middle name revealed
* In Family Meeting it is revealed her middle name is "Christine"
*In the ABC Kids Listen app's Story Time promo, she briefly cameos as a drawing on a smartphone.
*Even though she has the physical appearance of a Blue Heeler, she is technically a Red/Blue crossbreed.
*It is likely that she is named after a real dog in Australia named Bluey, who lived to be nearly thirty years old and was the oldest dog to ever live. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluey_(dog) 
*To protect their privacy and for "safety reasons", the identity of Bluey's voice actor is kept a secret from the public unlike many other children's TV shows which reveal actual names of children actors and actresses. And to this day, their identity is still a mystery. The same also goes for the other voice actors for many of the other children, including Bluey's sister, Bingo.
*In Onesies, Bluey reveals that she does not like the fact that she looks similar to Bandit.
