daisy duke is a well-meaning though sometimes naive, often scantily dressed rogue southern belle. as with her cousins bo and luke duke, daisy has a habit of landing herself/her family in trouble, though always believes in doing the right thing, especially when helping others in need. despite her appearance as being somewhat naive, daisy is a very outgoing person and can be quite feisty on occasion, who can more than hold her own when the chips are down, and displays on a number of occasions that she can turn her skills to any problem at hand. for instance, during one adventure with a stolen armored personnel carrier (the second season's "follow that still"), daisy is able to accurately fire its main gun while the vehicle is in motion with barely any instruction from her vietnam war veteran cousin, and uncle jesse cheerfully decorates her as "sharpshooter of the week" for the feat. she also displays horse riding, archery, and numerous other skills in various episodes; the character occasionally drives the general lee during various adventures, and on some occasions it is suggested that daisy may even be a better driver than her talented cousins (such as the first-season episode "the big heist," in which sheriff rosco, believing that bo and luke are driving the general, comments that they are "driving particularly well today"). in addition to fending off intoxicated would-be suitors at the boar's nest, she frequently finds herself caught up in the ongoing war between boss hogg and her family, the duke clan. her job at boss's tavern gives her the opportunity to eavesdrop on private conversations between boss, sheriff rosco and various cohorts, often discovering important information that she can pass on to uncle jesse and the duke boys. her continued employment at the boar's nest in spite of her obvious loyalty to her family is a sign of her status and popularity in hazzard county, and a corresponding lack of intelligence on boss hogg's part. boss does in fact fire her on a few occasions, but by various story twists, always ends up re-hiring her by the end of the episode.
