Pappy, sometimes romanized as Papy, is a small bird and one of Cinderella's animal companions in the anime Cinderella Monogatari. He is introduced in the first episode and is considered a main character among the animal friends who support the heroine throughout the series.

In terms of background, Pappy lives near Cinderella's house and becomes part of the small group of animals tied to her everyday life. When the fairy godmother Paulette uses her magic to give several of the household animals the power of speech, Pappy gains the ability to talk with Cinderella and to take part in the events around her. From that point on, he acts as a friend and helper who keeps watch over Cinderella on behalf of Paulette.

Pappy is a well-behaved and dependable bird. He has a gentle, calm nature and is willing to lend a hand whenever Cinderella needs assistance. His main motivation is to help Cinderella, keep her company during her difficult life as a servant in her stepfamily's household, and contribute to her chores and daily tasks in whatever way he can.

Within the story, Pappy is one of a small group of animal friends that also includes the dog Patch, sometimes called Wanda, and the two mice Chuchu and Bingo. Alongside them, he helps Cinderella with her work and provides her with emotional support. His particular gift is the ability to summon other birds to come and help Cinderella when extra assistance is needed. He also works closely with the other animals and, through them, with the fairy godmother who granted the animals their powers of speech.

Pappy's development over the series is modest; he does not undergo a dramatic personal arc, but he remains a constant and steady presence at Cinderella's side from the first episode onward. His notable abilities include the speech granted by Paulette's magic, the power to call on other birds for help, and the practical advantages of flight and small size, which allow him to observe situations and reach places that the other animal characters cannot.
