Paige Fox is the middle child of the Fox family. A 14-year-old high-school freshman, she is always portrayed with her hair in a pony-tail. She enjoys shopping and will often demand that Peter drive her to the mall.
Like the rest of the family, she has interests expected of her age group. Her obsessions include fashion, pop music, modern fads and trends, and attractive teenage boys. Also, a running gag through the series is that she has a huge craving for candy and other sweets. She shares her obsessions with her best friend, Nicole (see below). Paige often has sleepovers at Nicole's house to avoid Jason's pet iguana, Quincy (see below).
Although persistent in her pursuit of a boyfriend, she has almost never dated in the strip. In fact, the only boy interested in her is nerd Morton Goldthwait, whom she despises. Paige has tried learning to cook to attract boys, but the food she makes is often inedible or burnt. One time, Paige burned all of her cookies so badly that Roger used them as a substitute for charcoal briquettes after Andy "directed him towards a stash."
Paige makes average grades in school due to her poor study habits, though hers are not quite as bad as Peter's. She will often ask Jason for help in homework, usually in mathematics. However, he often gives her intentionally incorrect answers, or charges her money in exchange for the correct answers. However, Jason has honestly helped her with homework issues, such as data retrieval when she accidentally deleted her Macbeth report when Peter said to enter "delete" and the file name. She has also been known to fall asleep in class (often because of staying up too late).

Famous quotes containing the word fox:
“Where has it all gone? I remember that twenty years ago there were geese and cranes and ducks and grouse here, clouds of them!... And there are far fewer animals. Wolf and fox are rare, brother, not to mention bears or mink. There used even to be moose!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
