The Proud Family Wiki

Percy Proud is one of the secondary characters of Disney's animated original series The Proud Family. He's Suga Mama's late husband, Bobby and Oscar father, Trudy's father-in-law and Penny, BeBe and CeCe's grandfather.

Appearance[]

Percy is a tall, thin African-American man with short hair and half lidded eyes, and wears a black zoot suit with a light grey dress shirt and white tie, a light grey hat with a black band, and black and white wingtip shoes. He bears a striking resemblance to his son, Oscar, though instead of a beard, he has a pencil thin mustache and a gap between his front teeth.

History[]

As it is revealed in "Teacher's Pet", during the 1940's, Percy Proud arrived with some of the Tuskegee Airmen (who Penny thought was one, until Suga Mama revealed he was the guy who changed the tires on the planes) where a young Suga Mama fell for him. Unfortunately her best friend Gertie Dinkins also fell for Percy and tried to ask him to dance, but Suga Mama intervened and said that she's his dance. Just as the Darnell Sisters along with Rubber Legs Louie began to take stage, Suga Mama and Gertie grabbed Percy and the trio won the dance contest. Later Percy then ask the girls if they wanted any soda, which they spotted him $0.10 each. Upon leaving, Percy did not know that Suga Mama and Gertie played head or tails to see which one of them would end up with him, with Suga Mama winning. Later Percy and Suga Mama walked down the aisle and became husband and wife.

Percy and Suga Mama had two children, Oscar Proud, and Bobby Proud.

Notes[]

  • He and Suga Mama took Bobby on vacations while leaving Oscar at home.
    • Though this may be his wife's fault rather than his own; considering Suga is VERY strong willed. Oscar otherwise doesn't have bad memories of his father.
  • Given all his scheming, Oscar seemed to take after Percy's slick 'n shyster attitude; while Bobby got Suga Mama's oddness.
  • Suga toasts to his memory in the Kwanzaa episode.
  • Its unknowns what he died from, but considering he worked in hangar that would have had poorventilation, Percy likely developed lung issues.
