Louie Duck

Llewellyn ”Louie" Duck is one of the nine main protagonists of the 2017 DuckTales series. He is the son of Della Duck and is the youngest of Donald Duck's nephews.

## Description

Louie, the youngest triplet, has a knack for charming his way into, though not always out of, danger. "The Mouth" has Uncle Scrooge's head for wild, larger-than-life moneymaking schemes, but none of Scrooge's work ethic. His keen improvisational skills are a welcome asset on any given adventure, although they sometimes land the family in even bigger trouble.

## Appearance

Louie is a small white preteen duck with a green hoodie and his hair curved to the side.

## Personality

As been described as the 'evil' triplet, Louie is a laid-back, resourceful trickster and is he is always up for an adventure with his family especially if it involves treasure. Louie can be very greedy, and like his great uncle Scrooge, he's got an eye for money and treasure. Although Louie has shown a lazy and careless personality, he can also be adventurous and caring at times.

Louie is a schemer, with his confidence, clever quick thinking, and persuasive charm he manipulates others to get want he wants, as seen in "Daytrip of Doom!" and in "The Great Dime Chase!". With this, Louie can be seen with a con-artist persona.

Louie is very often the snarky, witty, and sarcastic one of the triplets as seen in "The Most Dangerous Game...Night!" where he pointed out to Scrooge how every treasure would end in the same way with being amazed but later would lead to more danger because of the booby trap that every treasure they'd found had. Other examples being in "Woo-oo!", where he criticized both of his brothers for their obvious ignorance; when Donald asked where Dewey was and Huey said: "Who's Dewey?" and being snarky about Dewey's best plan of getting out of a room was to keep hitting the doorknob with a bag of marbles. He even seems to keep his witty nature in the face of danger, such as in "Daytrip of Doom!" where his brothers, Webby, and he were locked in a freezer and was being threatened by Big Time.

Louie can also be very selfish and greedy. Louie does a lot that he knows would benefit him, like receiving money and treasure. Louie believes that most adventures include treasure, but if there is nothing to benefit him, he steps out like in "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!" where once he's told there was no treasure on Mt. Neverrest he walks out on the adventure.

Louie has also shown to be inconsiderate, as he's shown to say insensitive things like in "Daytrip of Doom!" where he states they shouldn't have brought Webby to Funzo's right in front of her. And he did the same thing in "The House of the Lucky Gander!" when he calls his Uncle Gladstone their Best Uncle in front of his Uncle Donald who has raised him since they were young. Although, Louie later realized how hurtful he was and then cheers them on.

Despite his self-serving nature, Louie cares deeply about his family. In "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!" he defends Launchpad after he was conned. And when Donald was racing against his cousin, he encouraged Donald to keep going and not to give up. As well as in "The Other Bin of Scrooge McDuck!" where he was using his scheming to get rid of a deceptive "Tenderfeet" and keep his family safe.

In the episode "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!", it is revealed that his cool and slacker attitude is all a facade and that he is a scared little kid who tries to talk himself out of situations, only to get himself into more trouble and acknowledges the error of his actions. This shows that he is insecure and cowardly, and puts up a laid-back bravado as a means to hide his true feelings.

## Skills and Abilities

With his con-artist personality, Louie's strongest suit is in his fast nature.

* Creativity and ingenuity: He's resourceful like Huey, but he's incredibly lazy and unmotivated. In "The Most Dangerous Game...Night!" Scrooge ensures Louie that he has a gift for being well calculated; to find the angles and short cuts to figuring out a well-constructed plan.
* Improvisation: Louie uses his quick-wit, resourcefulness, and charm to get out of a tough situation as seen in "Daytrip of Doom!" and "The Great Dime Chase" (sometimes it doesn't work out though like in "The Living Mummies of Toth-Ra!"). Louie also uses this to expose another con artist in "The Impossible Summit of Mt. Neverrest!" when he finds out that Launchpad was tricked into buying expensive gear.
* Good for business: part of Louie's obsession with becoming rich stems from wanting to have an easier life, opens its own associated funds.
* Social skills: Possessed of a cunning mind and the best social skills of his brothers and group, Louie has a knack for dodge people and persuade them, when he convinces Webby to lie in "Woo-oo!".
* Professional Liar: Louie is known for to be pathological liar, who sometimes comes in handy to get him out of compromises and problems.
* Imitation: In the episode "GlomTales!", Louie was able to do a perfect imitation of his brother Huey, both physically and verbally.
* Manipulation:
* Unison voice: Ability to speak at the same time. The triplets do this - albeit unintentionally in "The Beagle Birthday Massacre!".
* Scheme Specialist:
* Mercenary Knowledge: In "The Split Sword of Swanstantine!"

## Business

Louie, looking up to Scrooge before he knew his uncle, wanted to become the next richest duck in the world. After meeting Scrooge, he wants to be a billionaire just like him, still wanting to live out his dream. After "The Most Dangerous Game...Night!", he has gifted the Idol from Scrooge and creates Louie Inc. After this, during "Storkules in Duckburg!", the Harpies have followed Storkules from Maceduckia and cause a problem for Duckburg. As everyone else panics, Louie, Webby and Huey all agree to save Duckburg from the Harpies, but Louie has one condition; he has to make money off of it. Then, he creates Harp-B-Gone, the company that gets rid of Harpies. At the end of the episode, Louie realizes that the business was flawed. Scrooge then comes back realizing that Louie's business failed and shows him the only can of McDuck Lemonade. Seeing the Harpies love lemons in any form, Scrooge and Louie use them to open the full company of McDuck Lemonade. In "GlomTales!", Louie scammed all the other villains to hand over and poll over all of there money to win a bet Flintheart Glomgold started with Scrooge in "The Ballad of Duke Baloney!" but they lost all the money to Louie because Flintheart used a fake identity. Winning everyone's money, Louie became the richest duck in the world. In "The Richest Duck in the World!" he ran Louie Inc in his own, spoiled way. Realizing his errors, Louie gave the company and money over to his great uncle Scrooge, stating he isn't ready to be a businessman yet.
