Tomboy

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.

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.

A Day in the Limelight: In the episode "Walk a Mile in My Tracks".
Canon Foreigner: He only appears in the series.
