BOSSY
The Steady Feather
Bossy is the Duckiverse’s long-suffering father figure.
Gruff but good-hearted, he's always trying to hold the chaos together — whether it's reeling Stux back in, driving the woody wagon on road trips, or leading one of his extremely detailed war miniature campaigns.
He's one coffee away from snapping, but deep down, he'd do anything for his crew.
Catchphrases:
-
"Son, one day you’ll understand patience."
-
"If you're gonna do it wrong, do it somewhere else." (his eye twitches, and a feather falls)
BOSSY
Class: Stern Sentinel / Guardian of the Old Quack
Origin Story (Bio):
​Bossy waddled out of the final sunrise before the Great Forgetting. Some say he was once a philosopher king who gave up immortality to protect the hatchlings. Others say he’s just tired. No one remembers where he came from, but everyone agrees he’s always been here.
He wears a faded olive vest stuffed with notebooks, mismatched tools, and one faded photo of a duckling he won’t talk about. He carries a lantern that only glows for the lost, and a clipboard stained with time itself. Bossy remembers things others forgot before they even happened. His mission? Keep the flame alive, protect the ones who matter, and grumble until it’s done.
He’s gruff, weary, and perpetually annoyed at having to explain things more than once. But beneath all the quacks and sighs, he loves deeply—especially Stux, though he’d never admit it.

🧢 BOSSY’S FAVORITES
🎵 Favorite Song:
“Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey” by Paul McCartney
He acts like he doesn’t care about music, but every time this one plays, he gets real quiet and stares into the distance. No one says anything, but everyone knows: this is his song.
🎬 Favorite Film:
The Hunt for Red October
He insists it’s “about trust and instinct,” but really he just likes Sean Connery, submarines, and yelling “I would’ve done the same, dammit!” at inopportune times.
📖 Favorite Book:
Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
He says he read it “once a long time ago” and doesn’t talk about it much. But one time when Stux was asleep, Bossy whispered, “He still had fight in him. That’s the part people forget.” Then he just walked off.
Favorite Food: Chilean Sea Bass, pan-seared, with a side of regret
Bonus Detail: Eats it slowly while staring out a window, thinking about what America used to be.
