Character
Name: Llewellyn "Louie" Duck
Series: DuckTales
Timeline: Post-"The Last Adventure"

Personality:
The series starts with Louie as a child con-artist. He's very clever, especially for his age. As his uncle points out, he can see all the angles of a situation and use that information to best approach it. However, Louie is also very lazy and, especially early on in the series, tends to look for the easy path. He wants to be as wealthy as Scrooge, but he doesn't see himself following the same roads to get there. Working hard? Earning it square? Waiting until he's older? No thank you! Over the course of the series, Louie makes many attempts to get rich quick with low effort schemes - most of which are morally gray, such as going back in a time machine to take treasures that were later lost to time, or teaming up with Goldie O'Gilt as his fake aunt to get ridiculously valuable party favors from the birthday of a peer he can't even stand. Considering what a sharp thinker and bright kid he is, it sure takes Louie a while to realize that he can't just cheat his way to wealth - or at least, that that's not who he wants to be. After nearly losing his family in said time machine scheme and then being hunted by a monster as a result of his love for money, though, Louie learns humility. He still wants to be rich, and he's still lazy, but he becomes willing to put in the work for the money he desires, and to do it with scruples he previously lacked. And now he schemes for good causes, be that saving the world with his family, or helping Donald's band get their big break.
Louie is rather guarded and cynical, at least as children go. This has decreased over the course of the series, but he's still more likely to be suspicious than trusting. He assumes the worst a lot, and the worst tends to scare him - Louie is not brave, though he does feel that "greed beats fear." He doesn't show his emotions very readily, at least, not his more sensitive ones. Generally, Louie is either sporting a laidback attitude or - if he's on a big adventure - panicking about danger. But just because he doesn't like to show his softer side, that doesn't mean it's not there. Quite the contrary, in fact. We get our first big glimpse of Louie being emotional when he and Huey learn that their brother Dewey was keeping secrets about their mother from them. Louie doesn't react angrily to finding out - as Huey does. Instead, he gets quiet and withdrawn - he's been hurt, and he reacts with sadness. And when that mother returns to the boys' lives, it's Louie who struggles the most with the change; unsure how to approach suddenly having a mom.
And his way with words goes beyond being able to talk his way out of trouble, too. As the series progresses, Louie is quite often someone who will offer a heartfelt pep talk to boost someone up, as he does with the other kids in the series finale. He gives support when its needed, and needs the support himself- The season two premiere focused on how Louie wasn't sure how he contributed in the family, and the distress that brought him. It's interesting to note that while Louie is still a schemer in many ways, a search for a magic sword in season three leads to the discovery that his hidden, inner strength is the truth. He may not be inclined towards full honesty, even now, but being sincere can help him shine. Louie may have his sights set on being a successful businessman, and he certainly has a unique skillset that could help him get there one day. But he's also come to be aware that he's not ready to be wealthy, and is ready to take some time just to be a normal preteen now... Even if, in his family, "normal" means something a little different.

Victory Road Sample:
Louie figured, if he had to take care of weird companion creatures - sorry, Pokemon - he could have started with something far worse than Meowth. The little guy wasn't as temperamental and scary as some of the other Pokemon they'd encountered, and he was basically a cat, which appealed to Louie! He'd named him Shilling, because he sure seemed to take pride in that coin on his head, and they'd set off on, apparently, some kind of journey that was considered normal for children to take by themselves here!
Honestly, that part wasn't too unusual to Louie. He was used to starting with supervision on his adventures, but he'd still been in over his head before, with or without adults. But this journey involved a lot of walking and training Shilling, neither of which Louie was crazy about. This wasn't even normal pet training, not that Shilling seemed to mind the scrapes he got into. He - unlike Louie - was a daring little fighter.
They were heading down a dirt road toward the next town after New Bark- Louie could finally see buildings in the distance; man they were going slow, judging by others' reports. That was okay by Louie, who liked to stop and relax often, but Shilling? Shilling seemed constantly ready for the next bit of excitement. Today, as evening came around, that excitement came in the form of a rather bold Hoothoot that refused to leave Louie alone. It just kept following him and hooting angrily, expectantly even, and no amount of sweet-talking was going to get this bird-thing to leave him alone.
With a sigh, Louie pulled Shilling's Pokeball out of his bag. "Alright, have it your way," he muttered to the Hoothoot as he let his Alolan Meowth out of its resting spot. It hooted again, particularly shrill this time, and Shilling's ears pulled back as he hissed back at it. Louie wasn't worried. Shilling had one every battle so far, or - when he couldn't - Louie had gotten them out of the trouble before anything serious happened.
This time, however, was different. The Hoothoot attacked more aggressively than anything they'd met with so far. Usually, Louie had barely had to give Shilling any orders, and things worked out one way or the other... Maybe that was the problem. Maybe he needed to be more proactive for Shilling to grow stronger- Well, if he was responsible for this creature now, then so be it. It was time to start thinking tactically, here.
