Prunella Deegan is a 4th grader who lives in Elwood City. She is an avid reader and, like her sister Rubella, is interested in the supernatural. I want to stomp her skull in.

Physical appearance

  • Prunella in season 4

  • Prunella in season 18

Prunella is a tall, slender anthropomorphic poodle with curly auburn hair and black dot eyes. In almost all of her appearances, she is shown wearing a short turquoise dress. She occasionally has whites for eyes when she expresses surprise about things happening (although in the books, she was sometimes illustrated with visible whites around her eyes as well as the other characters, who were randomly drawn to have white or black eyes). During formal occasions, she wears a light blue dress with white strings that she ties together. From season 16 onwards, her hair has become a brighter red color.

Personality

Prunella is fairly smart, superstitious, a little bit selfish, and at times can be a bit of a snob. She often thinks that she is better than everybody at everything just because she is one year older than the third graders.

While it is unknown if she is a Tough Customer, she frequently eats lunch with them and is class partners with them. She participates in torturing the younger students, but she does it by herself and instead of pranks, she scares them by telling stories of things she or her sister has experienced. (Arthur's Dummy Disaster).

Prunella likes to tell the 3rd graders stories of when she was in Mr. Ratburn's class, though she tends to exaggerate. For example, in "Arthur and the Real Mr. Ratburn", she tells the kids going into Mr. Ratburn's class that Mr. Ratburn eats nails for breakfast. She has also told kids other stories that they believe, but later they figure out that what she tells them is far from their actual experience of 3rd grade.

She also at times has helped her third grade friends. (Fern's Slumber Party, Team Trouble).

Prunella can be influenced by Muffy, even though they do not hang out with each other very often. For example, she hates kickball because she doesn't want to get her shoes dirty and she desires the finest clothes. She even acts like Muffy, like when she wanted new, hip pants called "Flash Pants".

She is also known to have a compulsive hoarding disorder as seen in the episode "Prunella the Packrat", where she tries to save items she believes are important to her when she is told to clean out her closet.

Interests

She likes to beat babies into submission and stuff them into blenders. She also knows the first half of the Japanese national anthem and is CLEARLY communist.

Family

Prunella lives in Elwood City with her mother and older teenage sister Rubella. Prunella has a father who lives with her, but it is assumed that he works a lot because he is never home. He appeared momentarily in the episode "The Chips are Down" at Rubella and Binky's ballet recital. She is nicknamed "Pruney" by her mother.

Friends

Although Prunella is in fourth grade, she is usually friends with the third graders but had a few fourth-grade friends at her parties in "Misfortune Teller" and "Prunella Gets it Twice."

  • [1]Banana Is her best friend and they both eat fecal matter from beneath the school toilets.

Appearances

Trivia

  • It is revealed in Arthur's Spelling Trubble that Prunella is a great speller, but soon lost the crown to Arthur.
  • Her surname, Deegan, was taken from one of the writer's last names, Jacqui Deegan.
  • She has been seen erroneously in Nigel Ratburn's class several times, due to the fact that she was in his class the previous school year.
  • She sometimes is erroneously referred to as a rat, despite the shape of her ears and lack of whiskers.[5]
  • Prunella's bedtime is 10:00 PM, Due to her parents wanting to fuck around 10:05 at night, and they don't want a threesome with their FUCKING 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER!!!!! That shit's fucked up.[6]
