plucky

Williams had met with Lawrence and Segel once over Zoom to talk about playing the plucky therapist.

Any character that wasn’t featured in a novel by Elena Ferrante or Natalia Ginzburg, Taddeo remembers, was some version of plucky and fun, with some physical flaw differentiating her from classic beauties.

“Not to say that we don't still want those plucky characters who, you know, they exist. They're real women too. I don't know as many of them, but that could just be what I attract. I attract fellow dark souls, not plucky heroines.”

Since popping up as plucky car mechanic Charlene on Neighbours in 1986, she's racked up dozens of hit singles and a trophy cabinet full of awards.

That's the concept behind The Plucky Squire, a new video game set inside - and outside - a storybook.
