Abby Mallard is the deuteragonist of Chicken Little. She is a female duck (implied swan) with buck teeth, and wearing a purple shirt and some hairbands. A slight speech impediment and a long, asymmetrical face earned her an unfortunate nickname from the less polite children. She is accustomed to being teased for her awkward appearance, and takes a generally optimistic approach to life. She is one of Little's best friends and harbors a secret crush on him. She is voiced by Joan Cusack who also voiced Jessie.
