Dijonay Jones (The Proud Family and Louder and Prouder)

Dijonay Jones is the best friend of the protagonist, Penny Proud, on The Proud Family. She is voiced by Karen Malina White in both The Proud Family and its reboot.

Why She Shouldn't Be Proud Of Herself

 * 1) She constantly throws Penny, her BFF, under the bus. These Include
 * 2) * Selling Penny to The Gross Sisters and even Joining in on bullying her
 * 3) * She dubbed her brothers and sisters on Penny just so she could go to a concert. Later when Penny and her siblings go to the concert, she expected them to bring her into the concert after ditching them like nothing.
 * 4) * Was willing to drop Penny to perform when her voice changed,
 * 5) * She spread a rumor about Penny. (It was LaCienega who started it but Dijonay was the one who helped spread it)
 * 6) In the reboot, she outs two of her classmates for having two dads. She didn't even feel bad about it; she only didn't want her chances of KG being ruined.
 * 7) She was willing to leave her boyfriend, who changed schools for her, for a chance to date a celebrity. The celebrity in question had lighter skin than her boyfriend, makes sense in context.
 * 8) She harasses Sticky, to the point where he had to move to another country. This would have been a 'Me Too' thing if the roles were reversed.
 * 9) She still hangs out with LaCienega even though LaCienega is shown to be horrible and even racist towards Penny.
 * 10) The first episode 'Bring it on' showed Dijonay being a bad friend to Penny, Where she sold her out for LaCienega.
 * 11) Hypocrisyː In 'A Star Is Scorned' She (Along with Zoey and LaCienega) were angry at Penny for going solo despite the fact they always ditch her.
 * 12) She (Along with everyone else) Ignored Penny when BeBe and CeCe became teenagers showing she really isn't Penny's "BFF".
 * 13) She got Ms Hill fired after breaking her promise to Penny (Luckily Ms Hill was able to get back in her feet).

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She is shown to be a talented poet, even better than Penny
 * 2) She is a star debater
 * 3) She isn't as bad as LaCienega Boulevardez.
 * 4) She can be a good friend to Penny, calling out LaCienega for trying to steal Penny's boyfriend
 * 5) Karen Malina White (at least) does a great job voicing her.
