### Debut

Lady and the Tramp

Lady, as a young puppy, was given to Darling as a Christmas present from Jim Dear. She is named Lady due to her good manners and ladylike personality. When she is six months old, she is given a light blue collar and diamond-

license license. She has a family and is friends with two neighboring dogs, Jock and Trusty.

One day, Lady is saddened because Jim Dear and Darling have been treating her coldly. After talking with Jock and Trusty, she learns that they're going to have a baby. Tramp, a stray dog, overhears the conversation and gives her his own opinion, but is ordered out of the yard by Jock and Trusty.

Later, Jim Dear and Darling introduce Lady to the new baby, Jim Jr., and then leave to go on a trip. While they're gone, Lady and Jim Jr. are looked after by Aunt Sarah, who takes an immediate dislike to Lady. After a run-in with her cats, Si and Am, she takes Lady to be muzzled. A terrified Lady escapes but soon runs into some stray dogs. Thankfully, she is rescued by Tramp, who not only assists in getting the muzzle off but also takes her out on the town to show her how he lives. After an Italian dinner at Tony's Restaurant and a romantic night together, they fall in love. The next morning, he accompanies her home, but when they come across some chickens, he encourages her to chase them with him, causing her to be picked up by a dogcatcher and taken to the pound. Due to her license, she is picked up by Aunt Sarah, but while at the pound, she learns of Tramp's many prior girlfriends.

At home, Lady is chained to her doghouse as a punishment for running away, when Tramp comes to apologize. she refuses at first, citing his many girlfriends from the past. She calls him back, though, when she spots a rat going into Jim Jr.'s room. Tramp goes to stop it, and Lady is able to follow him after breaking free of the chain. Aunt Sarah comes and thinks they tried to attack Jim Jr.. Tramp is taken off to the pound, while Lady is locked in the cellar.

Jim Dear and Darling return as the dogcatcher leaves, and they release Lady, who shows everyone the dead rat, revealing Tramp actually saved Jim Jr.. she then leaves with Jim Dear, as they rush to rescue Tramp. The dogcatcher is stopped thanks to the combined efforts of Jock and Trusty, though the latter is injured when the wagon falls on his leg.

At Christmas, it is revealed that Tramp has been made a member of the family and that he and Lady have become mates and are the proud parents of a litter of four puppies.

### Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure

In the sequel, Lady and Tramp are portrayed as loving parents, caring for their puppies, notably more developed since the Christmas spent together at the end of the first film. Their daughters, Annette, Collette, and Danielle, are quite spoiled and snooty, while their son, Scamp, is portrayed as somewhat of a rebel and troublemaker, wanting to live a life similar to that of Tramp's past. His behavior causes tension for both Lady and Tramp, and the growing disconnect prompts him to run away and live amongst the Junkyard Dogs. A search party ensues involving Lady, but after a while, he returns with a change of heart, and a new member of the family, Angel. She is warmly welcomed by Lady, who celebrates the reformation of her family.

## Personality

Lady is rather demure and naive but makes a good friend to those who know her and is very faithful to her family. She is not completely helpless it is shown that she can be brave and protective. She was not afraid of the rat and would chase it away from her home and she took on the responsibility to protect Jim Jr.. By the sequel, she has become less naive and more motherly and responsible due to being a mother.

## Appearance

Lady is an American Cocker Spaniel with dark brown colored ears and brown eyes (which she passes down to her puppies). Most of her body is beige, with a tan muzzle and belly. Her tail is docked, as it is unnaturally short for her breed. As an adult, she wears a light blue collar with a diamond-shaped license.

## Trivia

* Like Duchess in The Aristocats, Lady marries a street smart individual at the end of her story. The contrast is all of the puppies were born to both her and Tramp while Thomas O'Malley became a stepfather to the three kittens at the end of his story.
* Some of her whimpering (as a puppy) would later be reused for Savage Sam at one point in Old Yeller and the dalmatian puppies from One Hundred and One Dalmatians during the climax.
* In an early version of the film, Lady was much more developed as a character and instead of Tramp, she was going to be the one to kill the rat in the climax.
* In one of the movie covers for Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure, her collar is red instead of blue like Tramp's.
* Jock calls Lady "Lassie", which is a common Scottish term for a young girl. This also is a reference to the age difference between them.
* It could also possibly reference Lassie, a female Rough Collie.
* Coincidentally, the Rough Collie originated in Scotland.
* After breaking free from her doghouse, Lady remains silent for the remainder of the film.
* Her name means to address a woman in a polite or old-fashioned manner and that of a superior social position, especially one of noble birth.
* This would also fit with Lady's personality and lifestyle at the era she lives in.
