==Appearance==
Louie is a small white preteen duck who has the same appearance as his brothers, but wears a green hoodie and has his hair brushed to the side.
==Personality==
Louie is the most easy-going and laid-back brother, jokingly described as the "evil triplet", due to his greediness. He is also lazy and careless, although he can still be adventurous at times and is a strategic genius, who able to see shortcuts and flaws through every obstacle. A schemer with great confidence, clever quick thinking and charisma, Louie manipulates others to get what he wants, as shown in "Daytrip of Doom!" and "The Great Dime Chase!".
Louie is often snarky and sarcastic, as in "The Most Dangerous Game... Night!" where he points out to Scrooge that every treasure would lead to more danger because of their booby traps, or in "Woo-oo!" where he criticizes his brothers for their ignorance. He is also somewhat pessimistic at times.
Louie can be selfish and greedy, having no qualms exploiting Scrooge's wealth and possessions, which he seemingly views as his own by association. This gets to a point where he believes that most adventures include treasure, and steps out when nothing benefits him, like in "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!".
For all his flaws, Louie still cares about his family, defending Launchpad when the latter is cornered in "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!", cheering Donald on when the latter is racing against his cousin in "The House of the Lucky Gander!", and scheming to get rid of Tenderfeet to keep his family safe in "The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!".
Beneath his cool and slacker attitude, Louie is insecure and cowardly, and only puts up a laid-back bravado to hide his true feelings.

During their search for The Temple of the Golden Cricket, Scrooge, the kids, and Donald make a stop at a casino resort in Macaw to meet with Donald's cousin, Gladstone Gander.

Meanwhile, Scrooge and the rest of the kids start looking for the exit, but the owner of the casino, Toad Liu Hai, keeps distracting the kids with different gifts.
Scrooge, the kids, and Launchpad enter an Egyptian pyramid, in search of the treasures of mummified pharaoh, Toth-Ra, but got separated. Louie and Webby are imprisoned by Toth-Ra himself while the others try to gain the support of the pharaoh's servants' leader, Amunet.
Scrooge, the kids, and Launchpad spend their Christmas attempting to climb the "unclimbable" Mt. Neverrest; a task Scrooge failed at 75 years ago due to his treacherous guide, George Mallardy. Along the way, Launchpad is conned by a salesman into thinking that he's dying of "ice-fever" to buy some of his stuff to which Louie pulls off his own scam to expose the salesman as a fraud.

Huey teaches Burger and Bouncer Beagle how to be good Junior Woodchuck Scouts, Louie attempts to befriend spoiled, insane child billionaire Doofus Drake, and Dewey records an episode of his late-night talk show, "Dewey Dew-Night", as Webby attempts to keep them all together.

After Dewey endangered himself for a clue, Scrooge reveals the truth: Della disappeared in space while piloting a spaceship he built for her, The Spear of Selene, causing Donald to cut ties with him. The boys blame Scrooge and the resulting argument causes the plane to crash.

Tired from the constant adventuring, Louie attempts to avoid another one by proposing a family game night, causing Scrooge's competitive nature to kick in. Louie panics and uses the shrink-ray on Gyro to silence him.

In the end, Louie steps up and saves the day, gaining Scrooge's respect.
Louie and Webby stumble upon him and investigate, only to find no record on Glomgold before he moved to Duckburg. They then take Scrooge to meet him, but he decides to let him be, as he is happy.
He and his family visits a Brazilian town to celebrate the mysterious festival, "The Feast of The Flower."

==Relationships==
===Family===
====Huey====
Huey is Louie's eldest brother, and they seem to be opposites, as Louie's lazy and sly personality contrasts with Huey's hard-working and honest one. Despite this, they are very close to each other and love to plan out everything.
====Dewey====
Dewey is Louie's second eldest brother, and they share many similarities such as their desire to have fun. When speaking about his brothers, especially to complain or insult one of them, Louie normally chooses Dewey. While often Louie doesn't rely on Dewey's assistance for his schemes, the latter defeating Falcon Graves and his crew with a yo-yo distraction in "Louie's Eleven!" leads him to believe that he can help him with his future ideas. He also manipulates Dewey into doing chores for him, as seen in "The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!".
====Donald Duck====
Donald is Louie's uncle and guardian, and although Louie views him as boring he still loves his uncle, even though Louie and his brothers tend to go behind his back. In "The House of the Lucky Gander!", Louie claims that Gladstone is their best uncle in front of Donald, much to Donald's jealousy, but he then cheers Donald on for the rest of the episode when he realizes that Donald is the better uncle for his heart and perseverance.
====Scrooge McDuck====
Scrooge McDuck is Louie's great-uncle. Louie looks up to Scrooge mainly due to his richness. He also loves his great-uncle even though Scrooge is annoyed with his lazy and spoiled attitude, as seen in "The Great Dime Chase!". Louie also seems to view Scrooge's wealth and possessions as his own by association and as such he isn't above exploiting it.
===Friends===
====Webby Vanderquack====
Initially, Louie sees Webby as weird but interesting, but he later accepts her quirkiness and they become better friends. In "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!", Webby is irritated by Louie's habit of seeking to manipulate situations for his own benefit, but they later resolve their issues and help each other out.
====Goldie O'Gilt====
Louie teams up with Goldie O'Gilt in "Happy Birthday, Doofus Drake!" to learn more conning and swindling after she found out he was invited to Doofus Drake's birthday party. Although they impress each other and even bond a little, Goldie still ends up conning him, but the fact that she puts a picture of him inside her wallet, right next to a picture of Scrooge, implies that she is genuinely fond of him.
==Trivia==
*It is revealed in the episode "The Spear of Selene!" that Louie's full name is Llewellyn, instead of Louis Duck as it was in the 1987 series. Here it's changed to Llewellyn, a name he hates as he finds it embarrassing. Della was originally going to name him Rebel.
**"Llewellyn" is Welsh for "Leader" or "Lion-like". Additionally "ll" is one letter in Welsh, and it makes a mixture of a "hu" and "th" sound. So technically, it would be pronounced something like "Hue-el-thin".
*According to the creators, Dewey and Louie are also members of the Junior Woodchucks, they're just not as enthusiastic about the organization as Huey is.
*According to "The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!", Louie might be allergic to plastic lining, since he received a rash from wearing it.
*Louie hates hot dogs, golf, fishing, and surprises.
*Louie's phone number is 555-0123.
