Origin[]

Daisy June is a female Native American Duck who appears in The Daffy Duckaroo as a love interest to Daffy Duck.

On a donkey pulling a trailer, Daffy moves from Hollywood to the American West while signing "My Little Buckaroo", where he comes upon an Indian encampment. He is about to run away when he is wooed by an Indian girl. He serenades her and follows her into her teepee. The Indian girl says she would love to be Daffy's girlfriend, but her boyfriend Little Beaver will never allow it. When Little Beaver arrives, Daffy hides in a dresser and emerges disguised as an Indian girl himself. Little Beaver attempts to kiss him until he discovers the disguise.
