Plucky is a red fox who appears in the books and the TV series. In the books he is the grandson of Bold and Whisper, but it is not known which of their children he is the son of, although he is definitely not Husky's, who died without mating or a mate. Like Husky, he is similar to his grandfather in appearance. In the TV series he is Bold and Whisper's son, seemingly the only cub that Whisper gave birth to. Plucky has a similar personality to Bold, although he does not share the same desire to explore outside White Deer Park. He is very good friends with Dash and regularly races her, although he never wins, despite coming very close on one occasion in the TV series, but Weasel gets in his way. When Fox steps down as the leader of the Farthing Wood animals in the TV series, Plucky becomes the group's new leader instead of his uncle Ranger.
