Mike Judge developed the likeness for this character from former first lady Claudia "Lady Bird" Johnson.^{[citation needed]} Claudia Alta Lady Bird Taylor Johnson (December 22, 1912 – July 11, 2007)[1] was First Lady of the United States from 1963 to 1969, having been the wife of U.S. President Lyndon B.

Born in Montana to cattle ranchers in 1965, she moved to Texas for high school. Her mother was extremely critical, and her father was aloof and spoke in obtuse nature metaphors. These portrayals of her parents, from the episode "A Rover Runs Through it", are actually a retconned version differing quite noticeably from the homemaker mother – and presumably equally suburban father – displayed in flashbacks in earlier episodes, "I Remember Mono" and "Transnational Amusements Presents: Peggy's Magic Sex Feet". In early episodes, Mrs. Platter is seen visiting in the Hills' home, implying that she lives in or near Arlen, TX, and is on speaking terms with her daughter (although the episode "Happy Hank's Giving," in which she appears in her original incarnation, implies that her mother either still lives in Montana or moved back). These appearances are discarded by "A Rover Runs Through It" In fact, the suggestion in the later episode is that Peggy left her parents behind when she went to Texas, which is a significant alteration. In both versions her mother tends to be critical of her, albeit for different reasons. Peggy also has a brother who is Luanne's father (She said that he lived in an oil rig but this later turns out to be a lie to cover up him being a criminal), who stabbed him with a fork, who recently appeared in "Life: A Loser's Manual".

As a child, she was teased constantly for her unusually large feet--women's size 16--and she remains insecure about them in adulthood, though she was comfortable with them at times. She has great difficulty shopping for shoes and sometimes has to resort to men's shoes. In one episode, when Minh and Kahn show up to the Hills' for a housewarming party, Minh walks around in Peggy's shoes, pretending to be a little girl walking around in her mother's shoes. This, unsurprisingly, provoked a negative response from Peggy. Hank, trying to comfort her, accidentally stepped on her feet, even though they were standing roughly a foot apart. In one particular episode, it was revealed that Peggy's feet are even bigger than Hank's. In one episode she has to drive to Lubbock to buy a new pair of size 16 shoes after the specialty store where she usually buys them closes. In that episode, after being informed by a clerk that she now needs a size 16 and 1/2, and that she quite possibly could reach the "Big 2-0," she is approached by a woman (who is a sister of the "bigfoot gals" club, apparently) who gives her the card of a man who will make her feel "secure" about her huge feet. The man helps her to realize that her incredible feet are responsible for her athletic ability, great confidence and perfect posture (she has no back problems). He even makes movies about her considerable feet, promising to make her a star. It turns out he is a pornographer specializing in foot fetishes, displaying her feet on the internet. By episode's end, Peggy comes to accept her large feet. In another episode, Peggy's abnormally large feet proved useful in defeating Luanne's unstable mother, Leanne, when Leanne became violent at what was supposed to be an engagement party for her and Bill. She eventually finds a shoe store that caters to transvestites, which leads to an uncomfortable situation in which she is mistaken for a man by one of the customers, although it does allow her to find feminine shoes in her own size. “Lubbock” redirects here. ...

Peggy unseated Cissy Cobb (voiced by Laurie Metcalf) as the Boggle champion of Texas. Peggy claims high intelligence, though she is often naive and impractical. Interestingly, Peggy's intelligence seems to vary with the situation and her judgment is frequently clouded by her ego. Her poor Spanish (she mispronounces the 'favor' in "por favor" as in 'do me a favor', and Bobby warns Spanish-speaking guests to never correct her, "for God's sake.") is one of the series' running jokes, and would make her appear to be something of a simpleton. However, in several episodes, Peggy has saved the day through some quick thinking, as in the episode where she finds the loophole in Robert's Rules of Order that allows Hank to filibuster a town meeting to prove his point about low-flow toilets. Similar scenes occur in the aforementioned Cissy Cobb episode, when Peggy wins with a 16-letter Boggle word, and in an episode where she gets the Alamo beer company (a series staple) to recall a batch of tainted beer. In the episode "Joust Like a Lady", Peggy uses her knowledge of the labor laws of the state of Texas to improve the working conditions of the women at Arlen's Renaissance Faire, as well as demonstrating better knowledge of medieval grammar and cuisine than the regular Faire employees.

As the series progressed, increased emphasis was put on Peggy's superiority complex and her egotism. She frequently aggrandizes her own accomplishments and is often unintentionally encouraged by others, such as her continual recognition as substitute teacher of the year, although she won the first award due to the fact she created it. Her belief that someone can do anything if they put their mind to it often leads her into trouble when she takes the philosophy too literally; she often believes she can do something for which she has not the skill or background. It is perhaps not the fact that Peggy thinks so highly of herself, but in her assumption (and expectation) that everyone else thinks equally highly of her, which leads her into predicaments. In one episode, Peggy assumes that an actor, Eduardo Felipe, star of TV's Monsignor Martinez is madly in love with her and wants to have an affair with her not because of anything he does, but because of her presumption that she is irresistible (an attribute often seen in delusional people). She also has the habit of using the phrase "in my opinion" when stating well known facts, such as, "In my opinion, the day after Thanksgiving is one of the busiest shopping days of the year," and "As I like to say/call it," when using common expressions. She occasionally makes claims that seem to have no basis in reality at all, such as "Swiss cheese is not Mexican, it's American." When she is particularly pleased with her own cleverness, she coyly raises her hand to her chest and chuckles, "Oh, Peggy!"

Proud and egocentric, in later episodes she tends to come off as arrogant and a know-it-all, and quite often has to be taken down a notch. Although she once became extremely jealous that Hank kissed another girl (from whom he caught mono) in high school before they were married, she was forced to confess in a later episode to have lost her virginity to a gay male friend. She also was the last on the block (except for Dale Gribble and Joseph Gribble) to realize Joseph's true parentage (and even then required Hank to spell it out for her). She would have told him, but for a last-minute change of heart upon seeing Dale and the boy interact and realizing that sperm may make a man a father, but a heart makes him a dad.

She is often gullible enough to fall for scams. Cindy Wasanasong tricked her into taking over as Cozy Kitchen representative. An archeology professor tricked her into signing off her property as a legalized dig site. A scam artist tricked her into paying $999 for a fake PhD degree. She and Luanne were even lured into a cult that wanted her to work in a jelly factory.

She once claimed her song lyrics were stolen by country singer Randy Travis, though Mr. Travis (who was a guest star on the episode) claimed to have written them independently. It is later revealed that the lyrics (and the story which Peggy tells Mr. Travis inspired her to write it) were, in fact, Peggy's, but her reputation for self-promotion make even Hank think she is crying "wolf". Travis also steals an anecdote about her large feet and tells it to his audience during a performance. This article needs additional references or sources for verification. ...

Peggy Hill is incapable of riding a bicycle as seen in the "Bill's House" episode, although in an earlier episode ("Goodbye Normal Jeans") she is seen riding a bike after stealing Bobby's Thanksgiving turkey. She also has problems enunciating the Spanish language, though she thinks that she can speak better Spanish than some people, that some can't even understand her. She also has difficulty understanding the language when spoken fluently by others, as demonstrated in episodes such as "Lupe's Revenge." Another example of both Peggy's ego and poor Spanish was when she got a job at the Alamo beer factory when she said "I couldn't quite make out their Spanish." even though she was aware of the fact these people were Mexican and were well able to speak perfect Spanish.

Peggy once ran for the school board, along with Minh Souphanousinphone and Nancy Gribble to save the after-school program. However, Peggy, Minh, and Nancy began to turn on each other to win. In a classic example of her self-aggrandizing nature Peggy treats her run for local school board as though she were a candidate for national office, using a backgammon set as a fake briefcase and answering her cellphone with "War room". In the end, they all lost to a Christian zealot, who planned to get rid of biology, geometry, the after-school program, and all "offensive" encyclopedias.

After not having seen her parents for years, Peggy went to Montana at the request of her mother to see her childhood home one last time. To save the ranch from Henry Winkler, and in an attempt to win her mother's favor, Peggy was able to locate an old law that allowed them to transfer their cattle through the main street of town. Afterwards, Winkler allows them to cut through his land for their cattle drive. In what appears to be a moment between mother and daughter, Peggy expects a warm thank you from her mother but is instead blamed for the whole thing; her mother says it would have never happened had she stayed on the farm. Peggy leaves accepting the fact the her relationship with her mother is over and that she should focus on her relationship with Bobby.
