Lady Kluck is a chicken who serves as the lady-in-waiting for Maid Marian.  She speaks with a pronounced Scottish brogue, and is quite older than Maid Marian.  As a lady-in-waiting, she sees to Marian's every need and comfort, as well as attending to her safety, amusement and to be a friend.  Befitting her duties, she is also well-schooled in the genteel and noble arts, and is quite well-spoken under normal circumstances.

She is not to be underestimated however.  Lady Kluck is a tough, temperamental chicken, willing to speak her mind and go head-to-head with bigger, tougher bruisers.  And yet, in spite of her duties, she is also enthusiastically-supportive of Robin Hood and his efforts to protect the common citizens of Nottingham, and occasionally willing to actively assist in that regard.  She also longs to see Marian fulfill her love for Robin by marrying him...if only when the time is right.

Origins of the character: In spite of the various incarnations of Maid Marian, in literature (including the Robin Hood legends) and film, there appears to be no specifically-named historical or fictional figure upon whom one can draw a single foundation.  Maid Marian is, in different versions of the Robin Hood story, attended by different ladies-in-waiting, each quite unique.
