She is the hen who is the wife of Chauntecleer, the rooster.
Pertelote is known for her practicality, intelligence, and her strong-willed nature.
She often clashes with Chauntecleer, particularly when it comes to his belief in dreams and omens. Pertelote scoffs at Chauntecleer's anxieties, attributing his dreams to indigestion and suggesting he focus on more practical matters.
Pertelote is a memorable character for her wit and independent spirit, even if her skepticism sometimes makes her seem a little bit cold and dismissive.
