'''Dixie Kong''' is a recurring member of the [[Kong]] clan who first apppears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Dixie's trademark ponytail allows her to attack, hold onto objects such as hooks, and hover in the air by spinning it like a rotor, a move called the Helicopter Spin. Introduced as [[Diddy Kong]]'s strong-willed girlfriend, she has starred in multiple installments of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series as a playable character. Dixie Kong has a sanguine and energetic personality, and she often expresses herself in cheerful vocalizations and acrobatic mannerisms. Since ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Dixie Kong has occasionally appeared in spin-off games, usually as a playable character.

In games such as ''DK: Jungle Climber'', it is shown that she likes playing with Donkey Kong and Diddy.

Her demeanor is slightly tomboyish and assertive, but also cheerful and lively.

She is also very musically inclined, perhaps moreso than any other Kong, showing her love for guitars in her debut in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and playing one during the ending of ''Tropical Freeze'', as well as playing air guitar when left idle for awhile. She has a habit of headbanging her remarkable hair when playing guitar and appears to be fond of rock music. In ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', she seems to have got a little more mature and a little less tomboyish. Her trophy description for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' implies that she probably takes great care of her hair. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', when thrown away by Diddy or hit by an enemy, she starts crying; this also occurs in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' after being thrown away by Kiddy or after being hit by an enemy attack (on an extra note, when a player enters a cheat in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', her crying sound effect plays.
