* Catch Phrase: "I'm hungry, mother" in the movies, and "Oh, papa!" and "Are you calling me fat?" in the TV series.

* What Could Have Been: She was going to appear in the TV series as one of the main pups, along with Lucky, Cadpig, Rolly, Spot, and Patch, but then Disney/Jumbo Pictures thought they'd have too many main characters. Unlike Patch, who became a minor pup, Penny never appeared.

* Tomboy

### Tripod

* The Ace
* Canon Foreigner: He only appears in the TV series.
* Character Development: He starts out as a cocky, kiss-up to Lt. Pug. In "Lucky All-Star", these traits start to fade. It seems zig-zagged throughout the series, but this is mainly due to the mess-up with the airing order.

* Large Ham
* Mad Libs Catchphrase: "Memo to myself..." in the TV series.
* Nightmare Fuel: ...try not to think about her motives a little too hard in the franchise, m`kay?
* Rich Bitch
* Villain Decay: In the TV series, her only goal is to get the Dearly's off the farm because it's her land, which is *nothing* compared to how she wants to kill the puppies and make them into a fur coat in the other versions of the franchise. This however, seems to be the result of Moral Guardians not wanting a vicious puppy killer on a saturday morning cartoon.
