Lady Kluck is the secondary deuteragonist and Maid Marian's lady-in-waiting in Disney's 1973 feature film Robin Hood. She is voiced by Carole Shelley.
Lady Kluck is the lady-in-waiting of Maid Marian. In contrast to the lady-like Marian, Lady Kluck is very energetic and feisty. She is very loyal to Maid Marian and advises Maid Marian on her love for Robin Hood. Lady Kluck speaks with a distinct accent, most likely Scottish.
Lady Kluck is first seen playing badminton with Maid Marian on the grounds of Prince John's castle, where she proves to be quite athletic. At one point, when the shuttlecock lands in her dress, she lifts the hem of her dress and "dances" around, trying to find it, prompting Marian to tell her she looks so silly. When a group of peasant children appear looking for their arrow, she recognizes the hat of one of the children, a rabbit named Skippy, to be Robin Hood's hat. When the group role-plays Maid Marian's rescue by Robin Hood, Lady Kluck takes the role of Prince John. This is a likely indicator of her disdain for Prince John, as she acts pompous and cowardly before Skippy (pretending to be Robin Hood) and then feigns death as she claims Skippy delivered her a fatal sword strike. Later, in Maid Marian's chambers, Lady Kluck counsels a lovesick Marian to be patient and wait for Robin Hood, expressing her belief that the two will eventually marry.
