Likely born in Breed Rietland, Henri Dropshot[2][3], also known as one of the Kemphanen[note 1][1], fights with Johnny Hollyday over Anna van de Polder, another resident of the Plaspoelpolder[2].
Appearance
He is a duck of regular size, sporting a small moustache and ginger hair. In the animated series, he is depicted with a relatively full head of hair; however, in the book De wonderlijke avonturen van de eend Alfred Jodocus Kwak: Goedemorgen, he is shown with only a few tufts of hair.
He wears a green colbert over a white undershirt, complemented by a bright red bowtie (rendered as red with blue spots in Goedemorgen) and white spats covering his feet. Finally, he accessorizes with a boater hat and a monocle, which he wears on his right eye in the animated series, but on the left eye in Goedemorgen. He is frequently seen carrying a tennis racket and a coin for tossing.[2][4][1]
Personality
He carries himself as a dandy, strolling around with refined language and placing great importance on his appearance and leisurely hobbies. According to Johan Sebastiaan Kwak, his use of deodorant could be smelled from great distances.[5]
He attempts to win over women with this attitude, as seen in his pursuit of Anna van de Polder, boasting about his threefold inheritance/[3] However, when his claim to Anna is challenged by Johnny Hollyday, he loses his composure and engages in a fight.[2]Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Notes
- ↑ Kemphanen (singular: kemphaan) has a double meaning in Dutch. It literally translates to the Ruff, a species of wading bird. In Dutch, it is also used to describe two people who are frequently in conflict or rivalry.
