Popy (Korean: 포피) is a fennec fox who serves as the leader of the trio, which Buck and Harchi are a part of. She replaced Panic from the Ooohhhasis series.

Description

Beautiful and charming but not as innocent as she looks, Popy is the leader of the trio and may be the most intelligent member. She usually gives the ideas and makes the studies. Although Popy can unwind and have fun with her two friends, she nonetheless has a short temper and is quick to punish Buck and Harchi should they annoy her. She is also very greedy and will frequently attempt, through trickery or force, to keep most, if not all of the food or drinks that the trio acquires for herself alone or take much more than her fair share when Buck and Harchi aren't looking. However, if they catch her pulling a fast one, they will respond by punishing her without mercy nor care that she is still their boss as shown in Bad Seed when they force fed her a concoction they had created after she had tricked them into thinking she was ill.

Popy will sometimes make a deal with Oscar or Roco to get something she wants, but will always cheat on her end of the bargain. However this usually comes to bite her in the butt, such as when she asked Oscar to complete her rubber duck collection promising food but gave him a rock, he sent her entire collection flying straight into the crocodile's territory as seen in Collector Mania. Another example is when she promised Roco rewards from a photo so he would catch Oscar for the trio, only to give him the photo, angering him as seen in Lizard: Wanted.

When the trio rides around on their cart or other vehicles, Popy chooses where they are going, and she's not above forcing her companions to go faster! In spite of her personality, she actually has a good heart and she does sincerely care about Buck and Harchi.

She also likes games such as tennis, golf, volleyball, but she is annoyed when she loses but is an expert in golf.

Popy, showed by Buck and Harchi, will frequently attempt to steal food, drink or desirable items from Oscar or Roco and Manolo's truck. In turn she's frequently vexed by Oscar's many attempts to steal food and drinks from the trio as well. When it comes to getting something, she does not give up until she gets it even if Oscar continues to meddle.

Popy has sandy yellow fur with some light yellow on her belly, she also has a furry collar similar to Buck's, she has a long, pointed muzzle with a small brown nose, her eyes are emerald green with very defined long eyelashes, His ears are long and pointed with a great sense of hearing, he has white furry cheeks on the sides, his arms and legs are slender with a half brown color and proportional to his size, his tail is very lush, hairy and long with the Point your brown tail, she has a curvaceous figure with wide hips unlike the other characters.

Personality

She has a great leadership capacity, and that has led her to be Selfish, Bossy and Grumpy. She also has cunning and intelligence capable of taking advantage of her enemies. Despite all this, she is usually loving and cares a lot about Harchi and Buck or about The others,

She has also shown to be romantic, having to be very sensitive to acts of love towards her and usually accepts a compliment very well, such as when she discovers that they were going to give her a birthday in Lizard in the Sky,

Relationships with other Characters

Popy and Harchi's Relationship

Although the trio have several moments of camaraderie amongst themselves, Popy can definitely have a testy relationship with Harchi. Being competitive in sports, Popy does not like to lose. And unfortunately for her Harchi not only frequently beats her, but also tends to irritate her further when he starts celebrating his victory; although as seen in Golf Club, this can go reverse as well. In addition Popy has a short temper with Harchi's more idiotic antics, and will frequently clobber him as a result. Even so, when Harchi went missing in Lost, Popy and Buck not only spend much effort looking for him, but they were crushed when they thought he had passed away, showing that even if Popy likes to cheat her "henchfriends" out of goodies, and will frequently abuse them, she does care about them.

Popy and Buck's Relationship

Popy and Buck tend to get along a little more casually than Popy does with Harchi, due to Buck's more intelligent and sedate personality. Popy however, given her mean streak, definitely gets a good laugh out of any misfortune the vulture gets into (including at her own hands), and will trick or cheat him as regularly as she does to Harchi. That said, Buck did stand up to Popy and Harchi in Food Chain when protecting a baby vulture from them, and both Buck and Harchi did not appreciate Popy's attempt to keep a soda all to herself in Forbidden Paradise either. Buck on some occasions provides aerial transport to Popy.

Popy and Oscar's Relationship

Popy mainly sees the little lizard as a pest who tries to steal the trio's goods or as an easy mark for her to get interesting goods from, and as such their relationship isn't particularly good. The fact that Popy will occasionally trick Oscar into doing her bidding, and then reward him with a rock or a banana peel doesn't help either. Unfortunately for her, Oscar on occasion will give the fennec a taste of her own medicine as seen in Witness the Fitness and Collector Mania. Oscar and the trio will also frequently interfere with each other without directly intending to, and this can be a source for additional conflict, especially with short-tempered Popy. Sometimes though they will work together as seen in Day of the Chicken even sometimes when they ally ends up betraying the trio like in Down in the Dumps he took all the trash from the trio when Popy is nice to him.

Popy and Roco's Relationship

Given that the antics of the desert animals frequently intervene with Roco's job, Roco is not particularly fond of any of them. But Roco especially dislikes the trio (and their habits of road piracy and chicken stealing) and of the trio, he particularly dislikes Popy, which is certainly mutual. Though Popy fears the dog, she was keen to run at him full speed with his own truck when she stole it in A Manolo's Best Friend. Although Popy and her gang are usually the aggressors against Roco's effort, Roco is not completely above picking on the trio either; Cuckoo Horn and Down In The Dumps being good examples. Even so, Popy once did trick Roco into hunting Oscar for her, when the little lizard made off with a cart full of food. Naturally Popy had her usual ideas about payment, so this did not work out that well for her.

Popy and Manolo's Relationship

Though Popy hasn't had too much interaction with the narcoleptic truck driver, what little she had certainly did not leave her impressed. She found it amusing that he didn't respond to any of her attempts to get his attention, and seemed annoyed and disgusted at his snoring when she tried to listen to the truck's radio after stealing the truck in A Manolo's Best Friend. Manolo turned out to be a sleep dancer in Radio Active, and was effectively used as a weapon against the trio.

Popy and the Skunk's Relationship

Popy and the trio in general have a great dislike for the skunk. The skunk tends to use his stench to chase the trio off and steal their stuff, fainting in the process and frequently succeeds at this. Even so, Popy and the trio eventually got their own back when using a leaf blower against him to blow his stench away (although this did not last either).

Popy and the Meerkats' Relationship

The meerkats will from time to time try to steal the trio's stuff, and will commit mischief in the process as well. Naturally Popy does not like them. Unfortunately for her, due to luck, cleverness or help from Oscar, she has never managed to get her own back at the Meerkats.

Popy and the Chickens' Relationship

In typical vulpine fashion, Popy would very much like to eat a tasty chicken. And she has a grabbing device with which she frequently tries to snatch them. The chickens however will nonetheless frequently gang up on the trio as well and overpower them, and sometimes pecking Popy, and even in the Day Of the Chicken episode they end up rebelling against Oscar and the trio attacking them in the process, sometimes because of the chickens they end up falling into the ravines, Popy and the others

Popy and the Crocodiles' Relationship

Like all desert dwellers, Popy fears the crocs. However the trio will sometimes more or less ignore them when focused on another task, and use them as stepping stones to get away or to something else. although sometimes they are brave and end up facing crocodiles on some occasions.

Popy and Lizardette' Relationship

It is not known very well how Popy and Lizardette get along because they do not interact much with each other although it is believed that they show a certain rivalry as in Corn to be Wild that distracted Popy and the trio so that Oscar could recover the corn they had obtained, Popy has also had sometimes kidnapped Lizardette in cases like Falling in Love or The Unexpected Hero so that she would later be saved by Oscar, although they seem to get along in the episode Busy Day

Popy and the Viewers' Relationship

Sometimes she is interested in the public, it is possible that she sees the viewer in Hot Dog Way of Life, since when she is introduced in the episode, she sees the camera and poses, breaking the fourth wall like Roco. In Busy Day, she waves to the audience when she gets launched into the air. in Lizard: Wanted when they are with the digital camera, Harchi and Buck say Hey! and begins to flirt trying to get the public's attention.
